HOLD ON A MINUTE!!

"Hardware Wars" is a 16mm cheapie depicting the coming attractions
trailer for a of a sci-fi adventure.  Its cast of characters includes
a cannister vacuum, the Tin Man, a woman wearing cinammon rolls
on the side of her head, the Cookie Monster, and an unintelligible
man wearing a welding mask.  Sound like anything which made a
couple hunderd million dollars?

It's devastatingly funny, and full of "special" effects like flying
irons and toasters.  It's shoestring, but it is not BAD.  A director
who can coax this much delirium out of nothing should be entrusted
with 10 or 15 million to make a feature.

Closing line: "You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll kiss three bucks
goodbye".  Could be the ad copy for a lot of films I've seen.
