Absolutely!  "Hardware Wars" is bad only in the sense of the phrase,
"He's a bad dude!"  I roll on the floor every time I see it (it pops
up on TV about every six months).  Even better though, is Ernie
Fosselius' feature length (at least compared to "Hardware Wars")
Vietnam War epic "Pork Lips Now."   At last you can find out what
Marlon Brando may have mumbled deep in the Indochinese jungles.

While we are on the subject of classic parodies, does anyone remember
"Creature from the Haunted Sea?"  A classic combination of spy and
monster movies from the late fifties.  There's  a great scene (one
among many) where the hero is forced to cover his act by eating the
pickle containing the radio he needs to contact headquarters.  ANd who
could forget the Fidelista VW bug with the .50 caliber machinegun
mounted on it, roaring down the beach?
