Cyborg

RIP Albert Pyun you knew how to make some fun crap.

This is the very first movie I had ever seen in my life -- no joke! Van Damme was my Big Bird and Cyborg my Sesame Street.

There was literally almost nothing good about this. The action was sluggish the acting was terrible and the plot sucked. I suppose it has a few laughs if you want to see Van Damme make his trademark constipated face.

One of the worst ever made. Then again, what'd you expect from Pyun, one of the worst directors of all time? Looks cheap and sounds cheap. Released during the death knell of Cannon Pictures (R.I.P.). Ridiculously, all the characters are named after guitar models, companies, or equipment.

WHO WAS WATCHING ALL THESE DAMN SHITTY POST APOCALYTPIC MOVIES BACK THEN THAT THEY MADE SO DAMN MANY OF THEM???

Damme's inept acting meets Pyun's inept directing.

One of Van Damme's worst (and that is saying something). Poor production value, poor writing, editing, casting, directing and acting. The only thing it really has going for it is an interesting story behind the scenes where the makers, including JCVD were sued for someone losing the sight in one eye during the making. I know I wish I had lost both of mine.

Shows some surprising early low-budget promise before getting bogged down in bad acting, silly flashbacks, and ridiculous theatrics.

This was originally written as a sequel to Masters of the Universe and should only be viewed with that in mind. It was changed at the last minute when the producers realized that Jean Claude Van-Damme is not, in fact, Dolph Lundgren. It saddens me that I didn't have to spell check either of those names.

Cheese on an unprecedented level. The cyborg is in the movie for all of 10 minutes and doesn't do anything cyborg-ish. She just has some data to be returned. They could have ditched her from the cast and replaced her with a briefcase. JCVD in "Briefcase" would probably have been a better movie. Splits, roundhouse kicks and JCVD's cumface combined with camp post-apocalyptic warriors. Terrible but laughable fun.

Unfortunately terrible. It's hard to even spot the cyborg in this plot.

rating includes bonus points for ralf moeller's evil(er) twin rolf muller, naming the characters after guitar stuff (gibson rickenbacker's nemesis is fender tremolo, wtf?!? And don't forget the infamous marshall strat!) and a showdown that has more "niaaaaaaah"s and "uuooooooh"s than lava-lava's "what's up teddy-bear?".

bad movie

The first impression is that the star, Jean-Claude Van Damme is a cyborg. However, this isn't the case, which is misleading. Credit should be given for this at least being one of the few science fiction films Van Damme has been in that takes place on earth somewhere in the future. Many of Van Damme's early films involve him just participating in tournaments. That being like his most popular, Bloodsport (1988) a year before.

Good sets and costumes, okay looking actors though acting isn't great. The fight choreography and editing is off-kilter. Some of the bad guys have big muscles but look a little soft otherwise. Not much cyborging to be had here, there is one cyborg character that does very little, they had their brains scooped out to become a walking USB drive? One fight scene begins with Van Damme kicking a guy, then kicking him 10 more times about the same way, then the other guy finally falls into a fire.

Early JCVD howler from autistic auteur Pyun, who specialised in low rent garbage. Some of his films were 'good', relatively speaking, but Cyborg is a poorly made post-apocalyptic actioner with atrocious acting and a deathly slow pace. Flyn's video game villain is beyond ridiculous, and much unintentional hilarity ensues from his caveman utterances, which are completely nonsensical. The fight scenes are shoddily cheorographed, and Pyun's direction of action and movement is totally amateur.

I can only recommend maybe one or two stunts- the most memorable is Van Damme's splits overhead in a sewer. However, the production values for this late 80s disaster are so unbelievably terrible that you can only laugh at the mayhem. The villains, costumes, music, writing, effects and doomed look at the future are so awful - it's like 'Terminator' for dummies spawned from dummies.

This film feels like something I would have written at 8-years old. Jesus died on the cross, but Van Damme is able to break the cross.

This is mind numbingly bad post-apocalyptic camp - MST3K style. It's hard to believe a b-movie like this was actually a major theatrical release...

Pretty lame stuff. I was looking for martial arts and got some, but there's a lot of garbage to wade through before finding any gold.

I enjoyed it as a young child. I don't enjoy it for anything other than the camp factor now.

An young Muscles from Brussels in a post-apocalyptic future film from Cannon; it is a poor/enjoyable as one can expect.

It seemed much more well-made when I was a kid, but having re-watched it, it still has enjoyable things about it, but it's very corny and obviously low-budget in almost every way.

40.500

Every postapocalyptic cliche in the book is trotted out. Inexplicably popular in some quarters.

Craptacular SCI FI fun, with Van Damme doing thew splits in just about every movie he made at the time. The sequel seems to have NO relation to this (And I think is Angelina Jolie's first flick) Toe knee :-)

In the words of the great Vincent Klyn, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG GGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

OK, so you have Jean-Claude Van Damme - a guy that can't show any emotions other than staring intensely or screaming anger - but at least he's an awesome fighter. So all you have to do is provide a simple, semi-coherent story that allows the guy to show his two emotions and then spend the rest of the movie kicking ass. Simple, right? Unfortunately, Pyun's Cyborg fails miserably in the story department.

Solid action movie, one of the better Van Damme Movies. But Bloodsport ist unbeatable

Short, crude and, as Martha Stewart once described it, "Gayer than Frisco", it plays like so many other bad Mad Max retreads today. Not one to revisit, but to be fair, both Pyun and van Damme have made much worse movies than this.

Oh no, I remember this. Van Damme gets crucified or something but it doesn't kill him or whatever and I think he has a blade on his foot and he kicks a guy with his foot-blade? Those are probably the best parts of the movie.

Good action flick

Really lame, like a bad Fallout 3 fan-made quest or something.

jean-claude van damme invented post-apocalyptic sci-fi in 1989 and i loved it
