Bezenby I hadn't really heard anything about this film but I picked it up anyway as A) It looked stupid, therefore good and B) it cost fifty pence, and therefore A + B = C, C being 'Cyborg Cop is a fairly enjoyable action flick which you can get cheap, the cheapness therefore counteracting any faults the film may have'.Two cops (brothers?) get into a bit of trouble after being over-zealous when apprehending an overacting maniac. Months later, one of them ends up heading to a Caribbean island to tackle heroin smugglers, but instead gets caught up in an ambush (complete with exploding remote control plane!), encounters a giant cyborg, which then cuts off his hand. The cop, done in by the cyborg, only has one career option left, and that's to become a cyborg himself.Y'see there's a guy on this island who makes cyborgs to sell to shady companies and/or shady governments. This man is John Rhys Davies, who you might remember as Gimli from Lord of the Rings. In that film he was good, with his Scottish accent and stuff, but here he's got an 'Ee by gum' Yorkshire miner's accent which sounds totally ridiculous and hilarious. It contributes to the film's enjoyability factor. Plus, he's got loads of gadgets, including a robotic arm attached to a wall that answers the phone for him.More daftness follows as the cop's brother come looking for him - cue love interest (great acting from this chick!), a reggae band playing, and the usual punch ups. Now and again the film cuts back to the main cyborg baddie type person, who does people in as a demonstration of his power (including ramming his fist through a guy's head).Cyborg Cop is pretty daft stuff, but it delivers what it promises: plenty of action, plenty of daftness, and some nudity to keep us braindead fans of such things happy.

movieman_kev Ex-DEA agent Jack (David Bradley, the American Ninja in parts 3 through 5), whom got fired after shooting a nut-job who had taken a hostage, but was the son of a wealthy newspaper mogul, seeks to rescue his brother Phillip also a DEA agent after he gets into deep trouble with evil master-mind, Kessel on a tropical island, unaware that Phillip has since been changed into a cyborg programmed to kill.Make no bones about it, this movie is brain-dead,moronic B-movie fare through and through, but at the same time I found it to be fairly entertaining, especially while inebriated with like-minded friends. Do some bits fail on their faces? yes. There's a Dukes of Hazzard- type chase sequence that's utterly horrible (not in the good way) & the soundtrack is almost as horrid. Yet for this most part I was amused. One note: If you don't have a penchant for bad B-action movies, steer clear of this one.Eye Candy: An unknown actress who plays 'Cindy' & Alonna Shaw both get toplessMy Grade: B-

Frank Markland David Bradley stars as Jack Ryan, a kickboxing special agent who travels to some third world country to save his Rambo-like brother from a mad scientist trying to create an army of robots, helping him is a female reporter. David Bradley is about as good as he ever gets and the movie has some decent special effects and some fun action sequences which make the movie modestly watchable. However this movie lacks the crisp action of Bradley's best effort Hard Justice and the intriguing plot angles of Total Reality and instead this movie works as one of Bradley's better movies. Though it's only for genre fans. John Rhys Davies makes a great cheeseball villain and Double Impact's Alonna Shaw is easy on the eyes and frankly that's all I needed to get me over the film's mindless premise and routine script.* * out of 4-(Fair)

Anthony Bannon (bannonanthony) Another film which I picked up a low-price DVD release of. This is the first David Bradley film I've seen. I have videos of American NINJA 3 & 4 but I haven't really watched either of them yet. I can see why they cast Bradley in those films as he looks like a taller, dark-haired version of Michael Dudikoff. Hell, original American NINJA director Sam Firstenberg directs here. Bradley, who plays disgraced DEA agent Jack Ryan, is a great martial artist and his acting abilities are pretty good as well, but sometimes he goes over the top for the sake of 'drama', especially in the scene where he confronts the DEA boss about the mission he sent Jack's brother on a mission he was supposedly killed during.In keeping with the title of the film, Jack's brother Philip has in fact been turned into a prototype cyborg killer by drug-dealing kingpin Kessel (John Rhys-Davies). Davies is great as the bad guy in the film (wearing the trademark Firstenberg white suit, as worn by the villains in the first two American NINJA pictures) but what's the deal with his accent. It's constantly shifting. Is he supposed to be South African or what? That said, Davies excels as the main bad guy. He get a lot of funny lines. For example, after one incompetent employee is shot dead by his henchman and falls against a wall, staining it with blood, Kessel moans 'I just had that wall painted!'.Another great performance is given by the late Rufus Swart as Quincy, Kessel's cyborg enforcer. He is an emotionless killing machine who seems virtually unstoppable. I knew Swart had played a rather wussy character in the MST3K film SPACE MUTINY, so it surprised me that they'd cast him as a TERMINATOR character. But he looks really menacing and executes several people in a rather grisly way. He has a great fight with Jack in the middle and at the end of the movie.One annoying performance is given by Alonna Shaw as Kate (or Cathy as the credits call her), a nosey reporter. Well, she's annoying at first but then turns out okay as she starts to fall for Jack. Jack gives her the cold treatment at first because of the press coverage her paper gave of the incident which lead to his disgrace at the start of the film, but he cuts her some slack eventually. Like most action movie romances, this one develops very quickly and causes you to go 'Huh?', but it sure beats them fighting. Most of the big action is saved for the climax of the picture, and Firstenberg handles it brilliantly. In conclusion, CYBORG COP is flawed, but that doesn't stop it from being entertaining. But I'm still glad I got it cheap.
