Ok, so I'm trying to remember the name of a movie.
I'm fuzzy on the details, but from what I DO remember, there were giant robots that had like gladiator-style fights, and there were people that drove them. I remember a lot of sand. And maybe one with a fist that shot out? But that may not be in there.

Anyway, sorry for the lack of info, but hopefully one of you knows what the hell im talking about.

Erin The Red on

    That maaaay be it. I seem to remember less uniform, and more dirty borderlands-style clothing on the pilots.
    But it's been so long, my recollection of it is minimal at best. I will have to try and netflix the movie and see if that's the one.
    I guess there aren't TOO many robot fighting movies, are there?
    Sadly.

    Could it be Robot Wars or Crash and Burn? I know they were robots fighting each other in the desert, at least.

    IIRC Crash and Burn only had one large robot. The main villains were android infiltrators.

    The only one I can think of that fits the description is Robot Jox. Robot Wars was Humanoid Robot vs Scorpion Robot, but wasn't a gladiator style fight if that helps.

    The last fight in Robot Jox had one of the pilots basically in street clothes, which might explain the clothing you remembered seeing.
