What was the name of this giant robot fighting movie?

Question

I only ever could remember one or two scenes from this movie back more than 10 years ago...

if featured giant robot mech type things where, probably in the future where people get in them and fight like gladiators in a big outdoor arena. and they have rockets and in one scene, one shoots the other with rockets and the other falls onto some glass building or something, and i remember a scene where one of the competitors is talking to someone else behind the scenes or something. My memory might be hazy, remembering things that didnt actually exist, but I swear this must have been a real movie prior to 1995 or so.

Can you help me figure out what this was? Its bugged me for years and I only started to care once I figured out this other movie I could never remember was Creepshow 2 :(

If I figure out what this robot one is, I won't have any more questions in life ever.

Thanks to Dave and A12K, "Robot Jox" was it, I youtubed it and saw one of the fights, http://youtube.com/watch?v=vUxDmKFCD2o

its so much worse than I remember... Funny how your mind can do that.

As far as best answer, I cant say, Dave's is listed first but they both came at 12 mins and A12K answered so matter-of-factly that i was impressed since my description was so vague. Considering that Ill just leave it to vote, but thanks to both of you, hope u dont care about who gets the best answer :(

Answer 1

Yes 'Robot Jox', with the mecha buried out in the jungle. There was also 'Robot Wars' and 'Gunhed' about mecha. Everything else is in cartoon/anime format I believe.

Answer 2

Robot Fighting Movie

Answer 3

as others have mentioned I'm sure you're thinking about robot jox.
I actually have a copy for the library at my store since it is robot themed. I played it about a week ago and know the scene where one falls back into the glass spectator stand.
It ends with the two pilots out of the suit fighting with rocks and debris like cavemen (kind of a philosophical comment). Remember that?

Answer 4

Sounds like it could be one of the Gundam movies--There have been several series and movies released --Wing; Seed; Seed Destiny; Z; 091; etc. One of them was based on the idea of a type of a "mech competition" which gave the winning nation governmental control of earth for a period of time. Seed starts out with a big battle in a city where one mech shoots the other with rockets, and the other falls on a building.

Answer 5

Robot Jox made in 1990

Answer 6

I'm thinking it may be Robot Jox, with people inside the robot, hooked into it similar to the loader in Aliens, only on a much bigger scale.

Answer 7

The only idea to mind is "Solo", the story of a super priced top secret military free thinking android, in the shape of a dull shined black featurless humanoid who actually questions his role in a black ops military operation---and defects off to do his own thing.

Answer 8

The film is called "Robot Jox"

Answer 9
