AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

TheLittleSongbird I was not expecting much, I knew it would be cheesy and that it was a movie not to be taken seriously. However, I am not entirely sure what to make of Cyborg Cop. The acting I didn't think was too bad, I like John Rhys Davies and he is good value as the villain. Rufus Swart is also fun, and while over-the-top at times David Bradley's performance is hardly bland either. The story is derivative and holds few surprises but I never found it dull really, and the soundtrack is decent. However, Alonna Shaw is rather annoying, and the editing especially in the action sequences, of which I have seen worse but generally unexciting, is choppy. The script is uneven to me, Kessel has some fun lines but a lot of it verges on unintentionally cheesy, the ending is stupid to say the least and the characters are rather stock with not much done with the titular character to make him interesting. In conclusion, I don't consider it a great movie but I can think of much worse, if anything I'm very neutral on Cyborg Cop. 5/10 Bethany Cox

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.

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.

ELPSYCHO_WHW Well if your like me and you love these cheap martial arts/Sci-fi films made in the mid 90's when the Karate film genre was big then this is no exception. David Bradley (king of TV movies) is the hero in this one and he has to try and rescue his brother from, believe it or not none other than John Rhys-Davies. His accent is very bad i'm not sure if its a poor british accent or an African one. The highlight of the film is that Bradley wears a massive black leather Bum Bag (or fanny Pack) throughout the film and never takes it off even when hes fighting! He co ordinates this fine piece of clothing with a gold belt. The fighting isn't too bad and the action is ok. I would recommend buying it for a bit of fun.
