watching Cyborg as a kid. The movie wasn't my favorite Van Damme movie. I did not watch this movie so many times on TV, like I have watched other his movie that I love. Watching countless today this flick, I fall in love with it and it become one of my favorite Van Damme movies.In the barbaric, plague-ridden wasteland of the 21st century, a beautiful half-human cyborg carries information that can save civilization. But only the strength and cunning of a lone warrior Jean-Claude Van Damme can deliver her --and her vital data from the clutches of the unspeakable Flesh Prates. That is the main plot about this film, that it also involves revenge and the human character played by Van Damme, which his character has a heart! I absolutely love Cyborg. Jean-Claude Van Damme did a solid job acting in this movie, which I thought was very brilliant and very fast paced. Sort of the movie reminds me on Mad Max 1 & 2, which I absolutely love those movies and Conan the Barbarian 1982 with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the lead role. Because Fender kills Gibson's family and Gibson goes out for a revenge. He travels in the post apocalyptic world in which a plague known as the living death cripples civilization. When Gbson Van Damme was tied and was hanging from the mast watching into the sky, the similar scene was used in Conan the Barbarian, even Conan was looking for the people who killed his family. That is why Cyborg reminds me on these movies, they are my favorite. As a kid I still remember seeing the VHS cover in the store of Cyborg and I was impressed. I could watch this movie countless times. I hope I could get this movie on Blu-ray someday but, that will be really hard.Considering its' low budget, it's an entertaining flick. Great fights, cool villain, great scenes like the 'crucified scene' ... I seriously love Van Damme's kicks with boot knife. I love when Van Damme yells FENDEEEERRR... The final fight between Gibson and Fender was absolutely epic. The similar scene was also in Universal Soldier. I think cyborg is a bad ass film from Cannon Group. It is a shame that they can't make any movies today anymore.I can say something about the actors and the whole cast crew: Beside loving Van Damme in here: actress Deborah Richter as Nady Simmons, the girl who helps Van Damme, killing Fender Vincent Klyn and finding Pearl Dayle Haddon a female cyborg caring a cure, did a terrific job, she was very awesome gorgeous and very beautiful sexy. Haley Peterson as Haley the sister of murdered family by Fender, was extremely gorgeous and fast feisty sexy babe on the screen ever. Vincent Klyn as Fender the leader of pirates, was a real bad ass villain ever. I wish they would make movies like this today! About the sequels I don't care they all suck ass! Once I watch Cyborg 2 with Angelina Jolie and Elias Koteas and that movie sucked! Director Albert Pyun made a great job as the director. He directed terrific the angles of the picture.Cyborg is a 1989 science fiction post apocalyptic film starring Jean-Claude Van Damme as a mercenary who while traveling the wasteland of what was the Eastern United States finds himself protecting a woman who could hold the key to restoring humanity. The film was directed by Albert Pyun. More action and high flying kicks, nothing new, except for a fun plot...to this day I still choose this movie over any other pointless movies that lead to nowhere. This movie get's a perfect 10 by me. I love this flick to death!

description.As the years have passed, such a fixation has since passed, but my enjoyment for this movie has never waned, it was at that time my first experience of a JCVD movie as well as movie being directed by the much maligned Albert Pyun.Having practically watched everything that Messrs Van Damme & Pyun have made throughout their careers since, for me personally, this movie is the pinnacle of both their collective talents, granted Van Damme was just starting out, the only worthwhile film I seen him in since was the very cool 'Wake Of Death' and as for Albert Pyun, his career has really been more hit than miss, and going by his IMDb web page, littered with just a little too much controversy.That aside, collectively, the whole show on display here rocks, granted the whole premise revolves around redemption and revenge in equal measure, Van Damme's lack of understanding in the English department, Pyun's visual eye more than compensates, plus he really does choreograph a good fight scene.I read somewhere many years ago, that if Pyun had got his way, his vision of Cyborg would have been that of a black and white rock opera, now as he was at that time under the wing of Messrs Golan & Globus at Cannon Pictures, such a thing was never going to happen, especially as they were experiencing money problems, so a huge sigh of relief for all concerned.As the years have rolled by, this movie hasn't aged one little bit, and any time I find it lurking in the television schedules, I always recall that first time I watched the trailer, the excitement, the hope that this was going to be something more than just another action movie....Simply put, back then and to this day, this is a super cool action movie, plus Vince Klyn for all his over the top antics makes one helluva screen villain.10/10

the street fighter "blade runner"?? don't laugh, i'm serious. van damme~ford. fender~roy batty. i can't wait to see it again.

future, after a plague sweeps the land, the strong survive and often prey upon the weak. On one hand, Gibson JCVD's character wants nothing but revenge on Fender for what he did to his love, and her children. He is a man who had a rough life, settled down with someone he fell in love with along with her children , and started living the good life. His dream was shattered by a gang member and his crew. He is now but a shadow of his former self, living and breathing only to track down and take revenge on Fender and his gang, referred to as "Pirates". He saves the life of a woman, and discovers she is a Cyborg. She claims to have the cure for the plague, and needs to be escorted to a place where doctors reside. Gibson is not interested, he only wants revenge. He happens to run into a young woman who also wants to help with the cure, and becomes his companion. Without giving anything else away, here is the good, the bad, and the ugly about this movie. The Good: *Fight scenes *Scenery looks real in every scene. *Story *Action *Plot *Hero, villain, and support. *Believable characters, motives, and the message the movie delivers *One of the best foot chase scenes ever seen in a movieThe Bad: *The Dialog is VERY bad at times. *Special Effects were pretty primitive, like the cyborg scene was pretty bad *Though Fender Played by Vincent Klyn is a very well done "bad guy" for the most part, his dialog is pretty bad at times, probably the worst in the whole movie. He throws in random cuss words, and the way he structures sentences is not very realistic sometimes. He has a deep voice, and his opening narration where he tells the story was pretty good, and realistic. You will understand when you see it.The Ugly: *The guttural noises Fender makes while he is fighting Gibson at the end was just stupid, and ruined a good fight scene. He even changes pitch with the stupid yelling and such as he is hitting and being hit. Probably the worst part of the movie overall, and at a terrible moment: The final confrontation!Still, the movie moves at a good pace, some of the scenes are just amazing, and despite the few flaws especially character dialog and Fender's vocals in the last scene it still ranks up there as one of my favorite movies. You can relate to the main character, and his struggles to become "human" again after loosing everything he held dear. Also, I really like the sound track, and the end credit song is really awesome sounding. When it plays during the fight scenes it's really good. Definitely worth seeing, especially if you are a fan of post apocalyptic, Van Damm, or Sci-Fi movies, or just want a night with a great action film. Check this one out!Someone must have really liked guitars, because you will notice most characters have a guitar Brand name in their names. Fender, Marshall, Gibson, and more. Kind of cool I guess.

Truly, it represents a milestone in contemporary American pop art where only the most delusional of conceptions gain any ground. Watch this movie, even if it is only to see why spiritual warriors who are grounded with good technique and single minded determination are as important now as they will be in 50 years!

of look to it but very hard to explain. You'll recognize it as being unique when you see it. The chase scene where van damme fights 2 pirates in a swamp and then gets captured is phenomenal. The camera angles and shots were fantastic, and the crossbow crucifiction only makes it sweeter! haha Van damme hits his acting stride in this movie and really manages to convey the emotion in his revenge. Especially the part where he chops down the cross with his heel to escape his soon coming death.The best asset in this movie is the well designed apocalypse city sets, and the 2 story abandoned building set complete with pillaging pirates. The music and whatever that cape brandishing maniac was saying was outright terrible but if your not a jerk you'll understand why this movie deserves an eight out of ten.

best in this film. Less talk, more action. There are several scenes that were shot that I think the camera work was unbelievable. The music track on top of some of those scenes made for perfect action sequences.I am a big fan of older movies that have good action without high-budget computer graphics and other modern touches. I think this movie would not have been near as good if more money had gone into it.I still have a copy of this movie today, and I watch it regularly.It is still my favorite pizza and beer movie! Mr. North

Satan fijence a scene out of a child eating mutants now impacts but certainly an apocalyptic movie hits version is by the final destruction of this world through something that today we see death, hate, destruction, war, world certainly not non-existent UFOs .... etc. for me is a great movie
