The scene when Jill first gets attacked...


Right before Jill first gets attacked by the Mark 13, she is lying on her bed. Her joint burns her finger and she sits up. When she sees the Mark 13's reflection on her television, she changes the channel. She changes the channel to some kind of horror movie or maybe some type of art house film. It features actors in very pale makeup. They look like ghosts. Some of those actors look like they might be Asian. When the Mark 13 starts sawing into the bed and feathers start flying everywhere, the scene cuts back and forth between the Mark 13 attacking Jill and the clips that are playing on the television.

I don't know if these clips were shot specifically for Hardware and transplanted on the TV screen or if they are from another movie. But if those clips are from another movie, I'd REALLY like to know the name of the movie. The images are very intriguing.

Richard Stanley mentions something about that on the commentary and I think it`s to do with Genesis P Orridge and Psychic TV.

Greetings traveller.
