Cyborg Cop

This film begins with a DEA agent named "Jack Ryan" (David Bradley) and his brother "Phillip Ryan" (Todd Jensen) cornering a suspect in an abandoned building where he has taken a young woman as a hostage. Although warned by his brother to wait for a SWAT team in accordance with police protocol Jack decides to act immediately and shoots and kills the man instead. It then turns out that this particular person was the son of a very prominent newspaper owner and as a result the resulting bad press leaves a black mark on Jack's record which causes him to resign from the DEA. But rather than simply living a peaceful life afterward Jack gets a package from Phillip telling him that he is in trouble on the Caribbean island of St. Keith and needs his help. What Jack doesn't realize is that Phillip has been captured and a rich drug lord by the name of "Kessel" (John Rhys-Davies) has had him turned into a cyborg who will obey his every command. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that although it had an interesting plot and plenty of pyrotechnics the action scenes seemed too artificial and at times the acting was equally insufficient. That's not to say that this film was necessarily bad but it definitely needed a bit more polish and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.

This movie wasn't as bad as I'd expected it to be. The plot: a renegade cop, Jack (David Bradley, great B-action-flick guy) goes into the jungle (in Jamaica I think), to find his lost brother, who has been turned into a cyborg by a charismatic bad guy, Kessel (played by John Rhys-Davies in perhaps one of his best roles ever) - while looking for him, Jack encounters many bad guys whose asses he must kick, and he also scores with some bimbo (Played by Alonna Shaw, who probably is a nice person in real life, but p*ssed me off in the movie)

The Highlight of the movie is the Evil Cyborg, Quincy (played by Rufus Swart, who I don't think said a single word during the entire movie..and it appears to be his last movie too!) - he has this really cool knife-glove he puts on to slash his enemies, looks great!

I won't reveal to much about the movie, go see it! It's brilliant! I laughed my ass of, especially at the end, when Jack fools Kessel..it's brilliantly written and conceived! (or maybe not)

I give this movie 6/10, because it's very entertaining, but still a crap-flick though...the tourist-bag Jack wears throughout the movie looked so silly, maybe that's why the bad guys aren't afraid of him, because he looks like a total wussy, with a gold belt... John Rhys-Davies has a lot of good lines, and he steals EVERY scene he's in.. the same goes whenever Rufus Swart is in a scene, his foamy rubber "cyborg-legs/arms" looks hilariously cheap!

HEY! LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU!

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

I bought this on DVD for £1 after me and a friend of mine were having a season of watching really lame films, and I have to say, this is very possibly the most unintentionally funny film I have ever seen in my whole life. I don't know what the hell Sam Firstenberg was smoking when he made it, but whatever it was seems to have totally affected his ability to shout "Cut!" as there are so many scenes that left me wondering why the hell they didn't just go back and refilm them. And the editing is atrociously bad. Look carefully during the scene where David Bradley's character is assaulting the house on his motorbike. He jumps off the bike, and shoots twice at a couple of guys, one on the roof, and one on a balcony. Count them, he fires two shots. So then why, inexplicably, does a third man roll down the stairs immediately after, clearly having been shot? It was this kind of total sloppiness that made the film so enjoyable, yet baffling, as they obviously had a decent enough size budget to hire helicopters and blow the hell out of everything, yet not enough to edit the damn thing right...

Other unintentionally comic moments are: "Quincy" the Cyborg (Yes, Quincy...) trying to smash through the door in the morgue but nearly knocking himself out as only the top half of the door crumples (my favourite bit. Watch it in slo-mo...).

Quincy getting electrocuted and walking into a wall.

Quincy's hand-knife-glove-fingers.

Quincy, the most advanced robot cyborg in the world deciding the best way to kill the president during the demonstration is to dive through the windscreen headfirst and catch fire.

David Bradley doing a spinning kick and kicking no-one in the face in the fight outside the bar.

David Bradley disarming a guard, then spinning round on the spot for no reason before shooting him.

David Bradley's lame attempts to distract the police officers in the car before he snatches the gun.

David Bradley's Bumbag.

David Bradley.

Todd Jensen's "Philip" cyborg, and his wholly inappropriate cyborg voice. Coupled with a hilarious penchant for repeating words for no reason, such as, John Rhys-Davies: "this is the bank"...

Philip: "BANK"...

Put simply, if you haven't seen this movie, hunt it down. It is utterly hilarious, for all the wrong reasons. 10 out of 10.

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!!!!!
