I find out for this movie through one of my favorite bands, Front Line Assembly and their music video for the song "Mindphaser" which used many shots from the Ganheddo (1989). After many years i got an opportunity to finally watch Gunhed and i don't know what to say, on one side i am glad that i finally watched it, on another side i am hugely dissapointed, i didn't expect a lot but it can be better. I am big fan of Science fiction and also love Japanese cinema so i was thinking that this can maybe be hidden unknown gem, but no, it is bad directed, the plot is total mess, bad acting, i must say that i watched English dubbed version, i heard that Japanese original version is a lot better but sadly didn't had an opportunity. The scenery and action scenes are interesting, the movie has dark gritty atmosphere and i love the effects used for mecha machines, they used small models, there is no computer effects or cgi which is a good thing. I think that movie would be better if not all of the company of tech marauders has been killed in the beginning and yes those children living on an island are so annoying and yes big plus Brenda Bakke is so sexy in this movie. My grade 4.5/10.
