Subject: "Hardware Wars"

Written By: David Stuart on 7/5/2000 at 3:07 p.m.

There was an episode of TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes. This episode showed on TNN on July 5, 2000, 2:00-3:00pm Eastern Time. There was one particular clip of a home video showing a parady of Star Wars, called "Hardware Wars." I would like to know where I can find any information or a video clip if video clips requests are excepted here. If not, please do not delete my message. Thank you.

"Hardware Wars" was made back around 1978-79, not too long after the huge success of the movie it parodied. I remember seeing it one time at my elementary school back in the late '70s, and thinking it was hilarious. Haven't seen it again in the last 20 years, though. I've always wondered if it was on video, too, as I'd love to watch it again myself...

I don't think the original poster was looking for the original Hardware Wars, which has been re-issued on video (with extra footage).. I think he was looking for a segment from a bloopers show that had the same name..
