 Richard Stanley (I) (qv) wrote a sequel to the film, called  "Hardware II", and tried to get the project off the ground for a few  years. The sequel would have been somewhat different than the  original film, closer to a western, with a much larger scale. The  project stalled because the rights to the original movie are split  between several parties (among them Miramax and producer  Paul Trijbits (qv)).
