Nemesis 2

I first saw this film a decade ago hidden in the nite program of a cable network. Only got half of it as I tuned in while it was already running and fell asleep before it was off. But that muscle babe kept me interested in seeing the whole thing. So now with the full DVD box of Nemesis I-IV available I could enjoy it in full.

On the contrary of many receptions here I am not in favor of Nemesis I. It is over ambitious and still crap. But Nemesis II catches what I would expect from a good action flick w/o budget - short introduction of persons, setting of characters and scene and then: Action! Not much suspense but a good laugh from time to time about plot holes so big even Sue Price could push through her broad shoulders . So for example the Cyborg first tries desperately to kill our hero whereas later revealing he would like to kidnap her alive.

Sue Price is really a feast for the eyes if you're into strong women. About her acting: if I had so many big muscles to co-ordinate I doubt I would find the time to control the small ones in my face to give it different expressions.

By the way Mr. Pyun had a wise choice of putting the storyline into African desert as only here our female hero can be densely clad to show mostly all of her beautiful body.

So all in all well entertaining and worth the time watching. I look forward to pt. III and IV in my DVD box with anticipation.

Though only the 2nd Nemesis movie this is the 6th movie in the Cyborg (1989) franchise and I still don't understand the timeline at all.

It tells the story of a genetically altered child created in hope of combating the cyborg threat. All grown up and with no knowledge of who she is she finds herself hunted down by a cyborg mercenary.

If you've seen any of the previous movies you'll know exactly what to expect here. The film has a desert setting, generic action and a female bodybuilder as the lead who actually does a competent enough job.

These movies are bad, it'd be hard to argue against that but maybe I'm simply not the demographic. I get what they're going for but the fact these movies have such a funky timeline and are connected in obscure ways doesn't help matters.

Great for fans, lackluster for everyone else.

The Good:

Lead is passable

The Bad:

Standard cyborg nonsense

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

People are expected to have memories from when they were a baby

Accents are hereditary

Albert Pyun is the writer and director of many a straight-to-video action movie (just look on the bottom shelf of your local video store). Generally dreadful, his films are cocktails of bigger, better ones, but this one does stand out from the crowd. I first rented this a couple of years ago, and I actually quite enjoyed it. It's about Alex (body-builder Sue Price) who was adopted by a tribe in Northern Africa, after her mother was killed by theives. Raised by the way of the warrior, she's a tough kind of cross between 'Alien slayer' Ripley and 'cyborg dodger' Sarah Connor. However, she's completely human either. She is in fact genetically modified (as explained in an introductory voice-over) and can jump and run and fight much better than anybody else. So, when a cyborg (the Nebula of the title) is sent back from the future to kill, she has her work cut out. Yes, it is like T2; yes, the cybergenetic villain is basically the PREDATOR; and yes, the budget was about £2.50. But, it is very entertaining in a half-drunk, don't-quite-know-what's-going-on state of mind.

The action scenes are a tad flat, and of course there is a whole encyclopedia of cliches, but if you except if for a low-budget action movie, which it most definitely is, then you just sit back and enjoy it.

It's crap, but it's good crap, and at least it can admit it.

Ok the first one of these movies was bad but making a sequal is going to far. One the other hand it had nothing to do with it's predecessor. The first 1/2 an hour is all spoken in an African language and isn't subtitled. It is impossible to tell what anyone is saying and after about 30 seconds you stop caring. The "alien effects" were done by smearing vasaline on the camera when ever they filmed Nebula (the bad guy). The only thing worse than this movie was Nemesis 3 which was pretty much just footage from the second one scrambled out of order. I think they were supposed to be flash backs. The only notable thing about this movie is it had a member of the production crew with the unfortunate name Yolanda Squatpump.

This Film was Great when i first seen it, that was about 10 years ago. i cannot hardly remember this film but i can remember that cyborg (nemesis) i just call him or it "Arnie", and if it had a woman who was a body builder who played Alex i think her role name was then this is the film i want to watch one last time! if anyone out their has this film could they please get in contact? i know i have a really slim chance of finding anyone who even commented on this but its a shot I'm willing to take! but this film was great when i watched it, i mean a cyborg that cannot be killed following and trying to kill Alex it was great when i was little, but the scenes seemed enclosed and cramped, I've never seen the first but i have been told its better than this one if its true then maybe i was wrong and my little mind played tricks on me, anyways thanks ghostfacekillah20032004@hotmail.com
