Interesting facts

Robo Warriors is a 1996 American post-apocalyptic mecha science-fiction film directed by Ian Barry.

Production

The script for Robo Warriors began development as an unproduced sequel to Robot Jox titled Battle Jox written by Stuart Gordon. Paramount British Pictures, the Australian division of Paramount Pictures had acquired the screenplay which was re-written by Michael Berlin who had been best known as a writer for television such as MacGyver.

Production on the film took place in the Philippines. According to director Ian Barry, the film had a troubled production with Barry commenting:

Robo Warriors added a new dimension to Murphy’s Law; everything that could go wrong DID go wrong. From bribes, standover threats, feuding film family fisticuffs on set, to you name it. Everything was by the seat of the pants.

The visual effects and miniatures were created by Stargate Films under the direction of Sam Nicholson. Unlike the predecessor films Robot Jox and Robot Wars which used stop motion provided by David W. Allen for their giant robot effects, Robo Warriors utilized suit performers for its mecha scenes.
