Cyborg Cop: Policía Cyborg

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

Looking at the title I thought that it would be okay. Sadly it failed a bit and the only reason is that it looks cheaply done and the effects used, if we can say effects, are laughable. The cyborg itself just looked ridiculous. Easy to spot that it just was a rubber suit. And just look at his feet, also a rubber shoe. It was also Rufus Swart last role in the business here as a cyborg just coming from the gem Dust Devil (1992).

Coming from Raiders Of The Lost Ark (1981) John Rhys-Davies was casted in low budgets just before his second breakthrough in The Lord Of The Rings (2001). I have to say that the acting of all was mediocre but was surprised that it contained a few nudity shots, one gratuitous by slaves working in a fabric topless. Unbelievable. The other nudity came from Alonna Shaw here as Cathy. She never made it into the business, this also being her last flick before she appeared in two episodes in two series.

The only effect worth noticing is the replacement of a real arm into a cyborg arm. And here and there there are a few nasty shots like a slashing and the cyborg smashing his fist through a head.

Jack Ryan, the main lead was played by David Bradley who became notorious after his role in American Ninja. He came back for the main lead in Cyborg Cop 2 (1994) but also failed after wards and stopped in 1997. Sam Firstenberg, the director also came from the American Ninja flicks and tried to pick in on the Cyborg success and the Terminator flicks.

It do has a kind of Robocop (1987) feeling but as I told before. It has a cheap look. Worth watching for a few shots and scenes but only for the B-flick fans.

I miss the 90s I really do, and I remember this film profoundly when I was a kid especially the sex scene, kidding . Now, let's get serious and cut to the chase. Cyborg cop is one of those low-budget films that were inspired by the popularity of "Terminator 2". Of course, this is not your typical "Terminator" movie, but still it has some entertainment for home video. This is also one of the first rare movies that includes hard core "Commando" like action, cyborgs and martial arts. And I think that makes this movie pretty cool. Our leading hero is Jack Ryan (typical name for all American movie hero from low budget films, you know, the usual names are John, Jack, Bill, Ray, James, Jim, Mason, Matrix you know, the cool, strong sounding names), the DEA agent. He received a message from his brother who disappeared in action somewhere in Caribbean islands and of course, he convinced (through violence) his boss to go there and investigate what happened with his brother Phillip. And over there, he finds out that there's more than some drug traffic, like more action scenes, and meeting a sexy reporter Kate, and of course a secret laboratory for cyborgs. And now, it's on you already know how this kind of movies end. Jack is played by David Bradley (best known for American Ninja sequels and American Samurai), a martial artist and actor who well, as you can see, acting his not his tougher side, but he gave us an interesting fighting scenes. But the character was interestingly written, with his "I don't give a damn" attitude, leather jackets and his waist bag, which he also has in the sequel. As a main villain, we have John Rhys Davies wait a minute He is a good actor, if not the best actor in the entire film, I never realized how some of good actors end up in a low budget, crappy films. But, John did several of them, so I think he was OK with that, he is the main, rich scientist called Kessler who created cyborg. He did pretty well in the film, but on occasions, he looked like some cliché, silly villain, with white suit and walking cane, with ridiculous accent. The leading lady Kate is played by Alonna Shaw. Ohhhh, that sexiness the lovely blonde of the early 90s love that, you remember her perhaps from Double Impact (1991), she was here just to look hot and have a sex scene with Jack, because her acting is also not that good. Jack's brother Philip is played by Todd Jensen, yet another low budget actor, I have seen him so many low budget films. And, there is a supporting villain, a cyborg named well, just cyborg, really menacing prototype who makes an interesting, mad faces, the dude looks funny and his, I mean, the "cyborg outfit", masked leg and arm, that looks like an expensive Halloween costume. Oh and I love those funny explosive, remote control airplanes and Jamaicans cheering for a good fight when Jack is taking over the bar Oh, and a fact that cyborgs were built by a German scientist now that was extremely funny and really unusual cliché.

My friends make fun of me because I like movies just like this one. It's bad and I'm talkin' realy bad. The type of movie that only gets shown late at night on cable. The basic premise is that a cop gets a call from his brother and he goes to help him. He gets there and lots of fights take place. Without saying the ending (do I even have to) that is pretty much the whole film. I really like John Rhyes-Davie, so this film is not a total waste. Alright maybe it is, but its fun to watch. I wonder if Davies even admits to being in this movie? I wouldn't. Even after all that I still like this movie. It's fun because it is so formulaic that every single scene can be determined before it happens. This movie should only be watched by people who like cheezy movies and the five or six hardcore John Rhyse-Davis fans from around the world. All others stay away!!!!!

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.
