    80ish Sci-fi Mech Movie
    I'm trying to remember the name of an old movie I watched a few times as a kid and I want to try to watch again. Im sure it's a horrible movie and all I remember is its about this guy that finds a Mech in some sort of underground base and he has to use it to fight some sort of arch-nemsis mech. Him and a scientist guy fix it up and I also rember it had like a secret laser thingy ma jig in a chest compartment.

    Any help at all would be fantastic! Been try to figure this out for days...

    There was a movie called "Real Genius" with Val Kilmer. There was a laser beam involved. Sounds like it might be it.

    I too remember a similar movie, and have been searching around looking for the name of it. I came across this question and thought I'd pass along the info I found. I believe that the movie is one of the following: Robot Jox (1990), Crash & Burn (1990), Moon 44 (1990), or Arena (1989). They are all four set in the future in which humans fight in mechs. Look them up on IMDB and check out the posters/trailers, one of them is bound to be it

    After watching the trailers.. the movie you are thinking of is definitely Crash & Burn

    Gunhed / Ganheddo (1989)

    Synopsis

    In the year 2038, a group of scavengers enter the complex of the renegade Kyron-5 in search of precious element Texmexium. Death befalls each one until only the mechanic Brooklyn is left. He meets a stranded Texas Air Ranger and two children living in the rubble. They must destroy Kyron-5 in order to escape and to save humanity from its wrath. Brooklyn discovers a GUNHED (Gun UNit Heavy Elimination Device) combat robot and restores it. Meanwhile, Babe has been transformed into a bio-droid and is seeking out Sergeant Nim and the Texmexium she stole. In order to save her and destroy Kyron-5, Brooklyn must overcome his fear of cockpits and pilot the GUNHED all the way to the top of the tower. On the way, he faces the combined defenses of the complex.

    I'm not sure, but I think the movie you're talking about is Robot Jox. It came out circa 1990.
