One of the cool things about lending a hand at my local charity shop is that occasionally you can come across some weird (and sometimes awesome) shit. After being away for almost a year because of COVID it was nice to finally get back, and after rummaging through the endless copies of the "Twilight," "Harry Potter" and "American Pie." I stumbled across this title which piqued my interest. And to be fair, given the demographic of where I live I'm probably the only person that would be interested in this kind of cinematic trash.
"Cyborg Cop" was everything I hoped it would be. Trashy, silly, campy etc. It's a B movie with its tongue firmly in its cheek, unlike a…
"It's just like taking candy from a small child"
Don't be fooled by the awesome title and poster, Cyborg Cop isn't much about a Cyborg Cop as it is about a fanny pack/leather jacket wearing DEA agent road tripping through Caribbean with a former female journalist enemy to find the Cyborg Cop.
Yeah, it's one of those b-movies.
Rather than a fun RoboCop rip-off, Cyborg Cop is another letdown with the titular Cyborg Cop staying in a factory for a majority of the runtime until the end of the film, and he doesn't do cop stuff either. He just kills people- the opposite of a cop.
I must say, the action scenes are really entertaining and very explosive, but the…
not quite the Robocop knock off that I was expecting from the title, but as a dopey Caribbean set riff on Universal Soldier, it isn’t bad — and the titular cyborg (who is *not* a cop) does punch through someone’s head which is worth watching for alone
David Bradley wears a fanny pack and leather jacket the entire movie. The story is pure b-movie action pleasure: David Bradley's brother goes on a DEA mission that goes awry and gets turned into a cyborg, Bradley then goes to the Caribbean to rescue him. Once he gets there he fights lots of people, gets laid, and then fights more people. That's the entire movie.
Here's the thing though, Cyborg Cop is an incredibly fun movie to watch! It moves along briskly, the Caribbean setting works perfectly, and the acting is actually a notch above what you might expect, especially David Bradley himself - he's a joy to watch in his fanny pack and leather jacket. Cyborg Cop has tapped…
Gleefully stupid but not quite the Robocop knockoff the title causes you to expect. For one thing the cyborg's not a cop, for another thing he never leaves the Jamaican island he's been built on nor joins the police force or does any movie cop things. Cyborg mostly just stands there and takes orders to punch and or kill people from bad guy John Rhys-Davies who's like controlling it like some sorta machine. We do see the cyborg put his fist which is now made out of steel thru someone's skull tho so that was pretty cool.
Anyways the plot follows the cyborg's former human self's brother's efforts to track down where his brother has vanished to. The brother is…
there is very little cyborg action in this and it does not feature a cyborg cop, but a cop that battles a cyborg.
Wusstet ihr das Jamaika direkt neben Südafrika liegt?
Ich wusste es nicht, David Bradley hat es nach Aussicht auf ... hüstel... Ruhm und Geld ignoriert und den Geschäftsführern von NuImage war es schlicht vollkommen wurscht, wo Cannon's Erfolgsfilmer Sam Firstenberg den dunkelhaarigen Karateschwarzgurt und Dudikoff-Ninja-Nachfolger zur Jagd auf die modifzierte Menschen, auch Cyborgs genannt, schickte, da irgendwo in deren metallenen Händen sich sein Bruder befindet. Der hat sich bei seinem Special-Forces-Einsatz wahrlich nicht unbedingt als der größte "Held im Maisfeld" erwiesen, aber da Blut nun mal dicker als Wasser ist, kommt Bradley nicht drumherum, seine Bauchtasche zu packen, die Lederjacke über das Muscleshirt zu ziehen und sich auf den Weg nach Süd-Afri... äh Jamaika zu machen. Zu Belohnung gibt es…
In Jamaica kann man nicht nur Reggae musizieren und eine Bob-Mannschaft ausbilden, sondern auch ganz toll Cyborgs herstellen. Dumm nur, dass man dafür den Bruder von Dudikoff-Erbe David Bradley als Testobjekt verwendet hat. Ziemlich angepisst macht er sich auf den Weg seinen Bruder zu retten und den ganzen Laden hochzunehmen. Sam Firstenberg, Haus und Hof-Regisseur von CANNON, widmet sich hier der Cyborg-Thematik ohne dabei auf Martial-Arts-Elemente zu verzichten. Diese finden in Form von David Bradley ihren Weg in den Film und sind nicht wirklich überzeugend. Aber was will man von einem DTV-Actioner aus den 90ern auch erwarten? CYBORG COP ist nämlich durch und durch eine B-Movie-Action-Granate, wie sie zuvor von CANNON am Fließband produziert und dann von NU IMAGE fortgeführt wurden. Also so schlecht, dass es schon wieder richtig Spaß macht. Unzählige Explosionen, lächerliche Shootouts und ein Motorrad-Finale zum wegschmeißen lassen B-Movie-Herzen garantiert höherschlagen.
B-Actioner wie ihn nur in die 90er hervorbrachten mit einem unschlagbaren David Bradley auf dem Motorrad.
Okay, so you might be confused by the rating I'm giving a direct-to-video movie called CYBORG COP. It is not a "good" movie. But goddamn, it's the most upbeat, over the top violent, drug-running, cyborg-making, brother-killing, fanny pack-wearing action movie from 1993 I've ever seen. And John Rhys-Davies (GRIZZLY II) hamming it up as the villain makes it even better.
When Cyborg Cop said "Back in action" I almost lost my shit.
The bad guy hideout was so cheap it looked like it was left over from Roger Corman's Fantastic Four. Wtf kinda karate was Jack Ryan even doing? Lots of grunting and hand-pushing. If I had seen this as a kid it would have blown my mind. Also that sex scene, mama mia.
The final fight scene with the motorcyle was so absurd it pushed this into 4 star territory. I was howling at the end. This movie is a blessing.
Effort went into the creation of this one! Jack Ryan's brother goes to an island, run by drug lord Gimli. Gimli is turning people into cyborgs! But only after a big shootout has happened with lots of big explosions. Now Jack Ryan's brother is a cyborg and Jack Ryan is off to the rescue! And these are only the first fifteen minutes of the movie!
Pacing is excellent in Cyborg Cop. Lots of crazy and exciting things happening at a steady pace. Especially the scenes with John Rhys-Davies are a joy to behold. He is clearly having a whole lot of fun here. He also gets to slap people around in the best way possible. And he has an evil…
