Re: some of my favourite lesser known Sci fi films.

My guilty pleasure is the two Guyver films. For some reason I quite like the first film Mutronics as there is a cringe worthy critter who likes to do a bit of rapping. He sort of looks a bit like a demented Jar-Jar Binks that's gone wrong and just as annoying. Also have fond memories of the two Bronx films from the 80's, the Bronx warriors and escape from the Bronx.Exploding arrows(Escape from the Bronx) and an over the top 80's idea of gang fashion is just fantastic.
Hell comes to frog town is a film I clearly remember, but not many people seem to recall the two follow up films.

Cheesiest sci-fi I've ever seen was Megaforce. Haven't seen it in 20+ years but this bit still haunts me enough to track it down on youtube:

Remember going to cinema with a mate to see a double bill of The Giant Spider Invasion and The Incredible Melting Man, both so bad they were fun. Also enjoyed Bug, which I think was William Castle's last film.

Re: some of my favorite lesser known Sci fi films.

Go on, I'll admit it: I like Saturn 3. I also liked The Time Travellers, a tv movie (I think, or was it just a very cheap film?) where scientists stepped through a portal into a war-devastated world featuring mutants and androids. And what about The Earth Dies Screaming? Terrence Fisher took out time from filming the adventures of Dracula and Frankenstein for Hammer to make (seemingly with no budget) a very John Wyndham-like chiller about the death of the human race, and an invasion by robot and their resuscitated human slaves. Looks very tatty now on Youtube, but quite frightening when you are a kid!

It's on scifi/horror channel TONIGHT (Friday 18th Feb). Worth a look - some very bizarre and laugh-out-loud moments!

Is Saturn 5 the one in which a robot goes insane after falling in love with a woman and tries to kill its "love rivals" including it's creator and her pet dog?

Outlander is classic.

I loved Robot Jox, Crash and Burn was so-so, but wasnt there a live action film made by the same company? Humans and aliens fighting in an Arena?

You mean ARENA?
Hey, has ANYBODY mentioned DEATH RACE 2000?
