Wow, this is absolutely garbage and the only highlight is how much people scream "ARRRGHHHHHHH" during the final battle.
There's more camera cuts than Liam Neeson jumping a fence. It feels like they filmed most of this with stand-ins with how tight the cameras stay on the actors' faces, even during fight scenes, you barely see JCVD fight anyone in a wider shot. JCVD sounds like he's learning English as he goes along and is being told to "just say it like this" he's worse than Tommy Wiseau lmao.
The story makes no sense, JCVD and friends can catch up to the baddies by teleporting across the world, despite only walking, where the bad guys take boats across the ocean. There's flashbacks with flashforward and more flashbacks within itself. Nothing flows coherently. Some shots are extremely long, probably because they needed to fill in 30 minutes for it to be considered a full-feature movie. There's also a severe lack of gore, almost all kills happen off-camera.
There's almost no focus on the "cyborg" aspect too, I guess it was just a cool title. It's more like 'Predator' but without the actual alien Predator and with infinite knives. The story basically ends with "the cure was the friends we found along the way" hahahaha.
Extremely. Disappointing.
What a trainwreck! you would think after all these years and preparing oneself for the cheesiness it would soften the blow of how bad it is... but nope. It gets bonus points for trying hard though.
I love my 80's movies and the soundtracks back then, It fits right for the style of the movie and this is a classic from (Van Damme) that I've seen back In childhood and I can say It's still a cracking film. Lets forget about the 2 follow ups and the upcoming one starring (Steven Seagal) No thank you.
It is sooooo bad, that it is soooo good

My personal favorite Pyun film. RIP, sir.
Jean-Claude Van Damme stars in the cyberpunk thriller Cyborg. While on a mission to retrieve critical information needed to cure a plague a cyborg seeks the help of a slinger named Gibson to get her safely from New York City to Atlanta, but before long she’s captured by a roving band of pirates. The plot’s paper thin and is patted with flashbacks. And the acting is incredible poor, though Deborah Richter does a decent job and has some screen presence. But the film’s really a vehicle for Van Damme to showcase his kickboxing skills, which are quite impressive. The artwork and set designs are also well-done, presenting a gritty and atmospheric vision of a post-apocalyptic future. Though the low-budget filmmaking holds it back, Cyborg is a fairly entertaining film.
