Robot Jox. 1989.

In post apocalyptic future, battles are fought using large robots called "Robot Jox". After a incident when spectators are killed, a match between Achilles and and Alexander is declared a draw and a re-match is booked.

Aside from having the late great Stuart Gordon at the directors chair, this film may not be for everyone, this seemed to be made for a family watch then changes to something serious with someone having their brains shot out then goes back to being family friendly. The fight scenes with the robots look animated and very slow motion movement and done to the point of being cheap that the studio went bankrupt. The acting is moderate and no one seems to be putting in a big effort, yet somehow I still manage to enjoy it.
