Cyborg 3: The Recycler

I seem to be one of the rarefied few sump-sucking Vidiots that righteously dig the dastardly diodes off this murderous mechanoid mung-fest!!? And how could I not, as it features another devilishly deviant performance by triumphant B-Movie Thespian Richard Lynch as the menacingly mercenary misfit Anton Llewellyn, plus a wasteland-warped Malcolm McDowell as slyly scheming Lord Talon, an affable cyber boffin Zach Gallagan is on call ta' get them gremlins outta all that busted old world hardware! So, power up your power-gloves, luridly lube some cyber-slapper's scintillating silicon tits, strap on a high-calibre boom-stick, and blissfully beer-goggle this sinisterly scavenging, low budget, high voltaged, electro-blasting, future-shocking cyber trash! The DVD boom of the 90s were a fertile era for funky-fingered, bargain bin-grubbing B-Movie finks, frequently being geekily overloaded with gnarly, junk-headed sequels many didn't even know existed! So, don't be a plug-headed hater, 'Cyborg 3 The Recycler' is a titanium tough DTV time-waster! While, perhaps, not exactly in the same stainless steel celluloid class as Enzo G. Castellari or Albert Pyun, fans of 'Mandroid' will certainly find worthwhile bemusement in this boisterous B-Movie ode to mechanized death!

This is, at least in name, the third part of the Cyborg trilogy started by the 1989 Albert Pyun-Van Damme violent post apocalyptic epic, and followed by the sequel in title only with a very young Angelina Jolie. This movie is more of a sequel of the second part, both part 2 and 3 are not really related to Cyborg. Albert Pyun movie was great. Great action, great music, fast paced and violent. This movie is boring as hell, and its not violent. The music is not that good and it have a lots of dialogs, very poor ones for instance. Its not recommended, just to watch if its aired on TV a Sunday 4 PM and you don't have nothing else to do. A generous 5/10 only because i love post apocalyptic and cyborg movies.

I've read some other comments about this film and most of them said that this is a low budget film. Maybe it's true, but that didn't seem to me when i watch this film. The special effects were quite good for a movie made in 90's and also there were some good action sequences. What else did i liked about this film were colorful characters and pretty weird music. I've seen the first two Cyborg films and i think this is worth watching sequel. Like the first two films this one also has a good plot(maybe even better than in the first film) and lots of action(this time there is more shootouts and car chases). One of the cyborgs is played by Evan Lurie who is known for some roles in martial arts films so in the end there are some good martial arts scenes.

Let me just get to it, this one is a stinker, I mean they didn't really try with this one. Even the story to this one wasn't very good at all, I feel the director and writer which I both blame for this just didn't care about the story and just wanted to make a crappy movie I guess.

I mean this film could have been good but the idea of Cash Reese being pregnant was stretching credibility, she can't she is a robot also I feel the sequels got confused on the cyborg/robot thing.

In the first film, Pearl Prophet was a CYBORG, but she was BORN HUMAN, she was ENHANCED with CYBERNETIC PARTS; Cash Reese is a ROBOT, an ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, she is designed to LOOK, FEEL,and even ACT HUMAN. See, not the same thing.

This movie has it's small moments but this one is a disappointment, I first seen this with my friend on his laptop, I asked him to download it for me because I could not find it anywhere and my library couldn't get me it to order, originally I was planing on owning it, but I quickly changed my mind after I seen it. We both felt the same about this film, we didn't like it that much, he still hasn't seen Cyborg 2 yet, but he did agree that this one kinda sucked.

Overall, a crappy installment that should of been a lot better. DON'T GET ME WRONG, it did have it's MOMENTS, and some of the film I DID LIKE as well as my buddy. But tone wise, it had a disappointing ending, and the story wasn't that well written. I would have been MORE FORGIVING on it if the ending was better. In the future, I might give this film another chance.

I give it a 1/10. It was pretty bad, it had it's moments but those are few and far between. I hope the forth film "Cyborg Nemesis" will be at least a little better than this one. If your curious about it; you could see it, but proceed with cation.

STAR RATING:*****Unmissable****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead*Avoid At All Costs

In the future,civility between man and machine has deceased and war wages.'Recycler' Llewyllyn (Richard Lynch,coming across as a poor mans Rutger Hauer! (yikes)) and his sidekick Jocko (Andrew Bryniarski,who weirdly resembles a beefier,blanker version of Vincent Klyn from the original film) hunt cyborgs across the desert,hoping to catch them and sell their scrap parts to the highest bidder.Cyborg Cash (Khrystyne Haje,in a role originally played by a young Angelina Jolie in the previous film) is the first cyborg to become pregnant and becomes their primary target.The story also features a character called Evans (an older Zach Galligan from the Gremlins films) as one of Cash's old flames and a walk-on part (despite being headbilled on the front cover) from Malcolm 'will-work-for-food' McDowell as Lord Talon,one of Llewellyn's main buyers.

The director of the last film,Michael Schroeder,returns to helming duties here,the first in the series to feature no martial artists in the leading roles.

The,erm,shall we say,less than oscar worthy production values,screenplay and acting aside,this plotless rubbish is totally far away from the essence of the original film,which,lets face it,was quite an uninspired mess to begin with and should really say it all.It's also appropriately titled,in the way it seems to 'recycle' ideas from many other movies of much superior quality made before it.This is aside from a nauseating soundtrack which grates on the nerves throughout the film.

Worth watching only for the unimaginable hilarity of a woman giving birth to a baby in the shape of a grey tin can with wires dangling off the edge of it.*
