Sergei Illich Two guys at the end of the movie strip off their shirts, and just start throwing, and brawling... huge muscle tearing into the other. Finally after a long fight, one hands the other from a hanging hook, killing him brutally finishes him, exacting his revenge .That's what a friend of mine told me about the movie and I run to see. Van Damme is perfect like a ripped muscle hero in this movie. His lithe and athletic frame and his action sequences that used karate, kungfu and gymnastics were out of the world awesome. But the villain: WOW! Fender Tremolo much better than Van Damme, he is tough guy and very impressive. You will have villain's image and his intense eyes in your mind ! Fender steals the show with his splendid performance, looking all brawn and muscle! He is terrific as the ruthless villain. He stars as the hulking giant with mean tattoo, shades and alpha male attitude , his buffed body showed in so many scenes where he just take his top off . He is the man with every inch a he-man throwback to when Stallone/Lundgren /Seagal were in their masculine, monosyllabic prime! His muscles make him drool-worthy, and many guys on theater were visibly and audible drilled with the sight. The movie gets quite violent especially towards the end. As Fender and Gibson finally face off, Fender screams like a huge ape in heat. He proceeds doing that later on during the fight, too, with a lot of "arrrrrr" or "argggggg" growls – specially when Gibson stabs the knife into Fender's muscular arm and 8 pack chiseled abs! Gibson also roars like on a climax when he twist the knife inside Fender's abs and then proceed up from the stomach towards the chest and through Fender's face. Fender falls to the ground seemingly dead and, with the serrated knife stuck in the stomach, arch his powerful body on a bridge, projecting his leather bulge high on that agony throe. The brutal climactic fight is top-notch, happens at an electric, breathless pace. Confrontation making it a fight to the finish between two magnificent alpha warriors--Van Damme and Vincent Klyn. The ultimate combat between Fender and Gibson is a powerful male clash, two alpha males in a brutal combat for supremacy, oozing testosterone and manhood. The fight sequences are SUPERB, best fights EVER and they put you on the edge of your seat and all males at movie theater started yelling and grunting like apes in heat at the sight of those brutal stallions in mutual destruction towards the climax: the meat-hook impaling the powerful torso of virile Fender, that dies in wild manly way, roaring and moaning as he was reaching his final climax.

Anna Lieff-Saxby I was seriously conflicted over whether to give this film one or ten stars. It has a dreadful script, some of the worst acting you will ever see, clunky flashbacks - one sequence repeated in full in case you missed it the first time, I assume - terrible special effects, lousy direction and sloppy editing. It's full of tired old action movie tropes and has one of the most cringe-inducing final lines you will ever hear.On the other hand, it's a great post-apocalyptic concept, the costumes are excellent and the fight scenes magnificent, Jean-Claude Van Damme is in his youthful prime, looks gorgeous covered in dirt, gets his kit off a couple of times and acts as well as can be expected: JCVD benefits from good direction, which he surely didn't get here. A real collector's item.

Jerghal Hmm...a film called cyborg. Everyone's probably thinking about cool Terminator-like cyborg action scenes but you can quickly bury those thoughts coz besides a woman who supposedly is a cyborg made to transport data about a cure for a post-apocalyptic plague to Atlanta there are no cyborgs in this film. This film was conceived to use the costumes and sets built both for an intended sequel of Masters of the Universe (1987) and a live action 'Spider-Man' film. Both projects were planned to shoot simultaneously by Albert Pyun. After Cannon Films, the production company, had to cancel deals with both Mattel and Marvel because of their financial troubles, they needed to recoup the money spent on both projects. So Pyun wrote the story "Cyborg". Some network television channels still give the film's title as 'Masters of the Universe 2: Cyborg' which often confuses many into thinking a sequel to that film was made. Let me tell you guys, this is one of the worst films I have ever seen. The acting is absolutely horrendous. Besides 'arrrgh and waaagh' there is very little comprehensible dialogue and it is delivered in the most amateurish way you can think of. There also seems to be tons of ADR looping coz the dialogue sync is way off and it simply sounds like it was recorded in a studio. The music is is quite funny as it seems to be the score of Kings Quest VI or VII and not the score of a scifi action flick. I turned this movie of twice despite it's short 86 min running time because I always got the feeling I should be watching something better. I finally made it to the end but I sure as hell won't be watching that again!

Kelchubordnor sorry I have to give this movie the max score because it is simply put one of my favourites of all time. It was the first DVD I bought when my parents bought me my first ever DVD player.Simply put world has been ravaged by a plague and the last remaining scientists commission a cyborg to journey to New York and retrieve data from a computer and then try to return it to Atlanta (no internet I guess??). Obviously Fender and his flesh pirates get in the way, although I confess I always wondered how Pearl Prophets bodyguard who is armed to the teeth, manages to lose his machine gun with grenade launcher. You don't see this used at any point by the way. Enter Mr Van Damme who plays a Slinger (mercenary for hire) and sets out on a personal vendetta to try and kill Fender. Now there are holes a plenty (van damme loses his sword very quickly, no reason really given). The pirates have guns that seem to fire a ball bearing of some type (as does he) but no gunpowder etc.What I love about this movie is that there are so many scenes that showcase Van Dammes kicking prowess, and the entire movie for the budget is actually quite well put together. Now bare in mind that the production crew had limited budget and this film made in excess of 10,000000 dollars on a 500,000 dollar budget. Not bad. This is one of the movies which actually got me interested in martial arts (now a journey) and is up there with IP Man 1 and 2 as well as Enter The Dragon. Albert Pyun directed this movie and he is a very talented guy who I think could make Avengers for a 1000 dollars.
