    If you like campy Sci-fi B-movies you'll love this!

    If you are a fan of other B-Movies like Evil Dead, They Live, Hologram Man, etc Then you will love this movie. It's part Cyborg (Jean Claude Van Damme) part Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and all cheese, but in a good way.

    Make no mistake, this is a low budget movie, but despite the budget the effects are good for the time, the acting ranges from passable to good. The story is pretty decent with a nice twist or two. Overall it is entertaining, and that's all that really matters right? Hopefully WB will release an enhanced version of this film to blu-ray one day, I would love to add this back into my collection.

    A decent and imaginative low-budget action flick

    While this film seems to be unpopular on this site, it has several redeeming qualities for the crowd that's into B-action movies. The people who think this movie is hilariously awful or the worst movie ever made need to watch more movies, because there are far worse movies out there with far less effort put into them than this one.

    Without giving too much away, I feel I should point out a few things I noticed about this film. For one thing, the plot bears a passing resemblance to Terminator, but goes in directions the first two Terminator movies did not. Second, the music is great, and suits this type of movie perfectly. In fact, the music combined with the overall feel of this film reminded me somewhat of some of the older John Carpenter movies (not that it can't be enjoyed on its own merits). Also noteworthy is that the main characters are relatively likable, which can be a rare thing in B-movies such as this.

    In addition, I actually found the cyborg in this movie (John Saint Ryan) to be more intimidating and menacing than Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator. This is likely partially aided by his non-Austrian robotic voice, partially by the sheer acting power of John Saint Ryan (seen in his face, which is left unobstructed through most of the movie), and partially by the occasional robotic glow we see behind his human-like eyes (reminiscent of Westworld, for those who have seen it). In addition, this cyborg, unlike most other movie cyborgs, is self-healing. This aspect of the film allows for multiple gory "deaths" of the cyborg, which is great for gore and action fans alike.

    So, on the whole, this movie is fun for those who like B-movies, but naturally it has flaws. However, this is far from the worst movie of this quality and genre, and it is certainly more entertaining and stimulating than many others. For those who like watching obscure, interesting, and possibly cheesy action movies, give this one a watch. For those expecting this to be their next favorite film, you might be disappointed.

    We loved this one!

    Me and my shlock buddy Bison Lewis just sat down to check out this turkey; and ended up enjoying the hell outta it!!!

    Great villain - a rival to Vernon Welles in Commando (actually, no one can really rival Vernon in hammy villain status!)

    Great terrible brilliant and awful, all in one!!

    Best feature: the smiling foetus in a jar - the very future of humanity!!!

    Rent and Enjoy!

    Another perfect title for an excellent movie.

    This movie was excellent. I loved it. This Sci-fi had me on edge. All Joe Lara's work is a must to see. It would be nice to see on tv some more. You can't find them at video rental places.

    Title card is unforgettable

    I saw this movie on late night cable in high school. While I don't remember much about the movie, other than it being stupid and incomprehensible, I do recall the end title card. It's laid out in such a way that the title appears to be Steel American Cyborg Warrior. At this point, my friends and I burst out laughing. I didn't find out the movie's real name until several years later. Steel American Cyborg Warrior? Steel Ameriborg Cyior Canwar? Asteelican Borgior Mercy War? Can I Steel A Merior Cyborg War? With the level of competence on display in this picture, I wouldn't be surprised if any of the above combinations turned up at the end.

    • Alternate versions
      Due to the film targeting a "not under 16" rating, German version is cut by almost two minutes to tone down the violence in some scenes. Only in 2016 was the uncut version granted a "not under 16" rating in Germany.
