Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Jean-Claude Van Damme, a.k.a. 'the Muscles from Brussels,' had only a few movies to his credit when he played the hero in this lame postapocalyptic action flick from 1989. It's really just another martial-arts movie, dressed down with near-future trash and dirty sets that have 'low budget' written all over them. Van Damme plays the protective escort for a half-human, half-cyborg woman whose programming contains a possible cure for a plague that's threatening to wipe out the entire population of Earth. But the woman is kidnapped by Van Damme's evil nemesis (is there any other kind?) while they are en route to her Atlanta headquarters. That leads Van Damme right into a lion's den of sadomasochistic torture and torment. If you've made it this far (and if you have, why?), you're probably a founding member of the Jean-Claude Van Damme fan club. To everyone else: Don't say you weren't warned--this is the kind of movie in which naming characters after electric guitars (Van Damme's character is named 'Gibson Rickenbacker') qualifies as clever screenwriting. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - Van Damme Becomes a Star
Using costumes and some effect intended for a sequel to the live action MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, CYBORG is a bleak and apocalyptic film best known for securing the film career of Jean-Claude Van Damme. The film takes place in a future United States that has been decimated by a plague and internal violence. The film begins in New York City. A female cyborg named Pearl Prophet (Dale Haddon) has retrieved information stored within her memory that when brought back to Atlanta (former headquarters ... Read More
Rating:  - A JCVD 80's Movie to own
I just bought the DVD and haven't seen Cyborg for 15 years or so.
This movie despite the 1980's MTV band costumes is a great movie for having a couple of hours of fun.
best move: the nail out of JCVD's boot as he does a jumping spinning hook kick.
the cheese: the bad guys popping out of the mancover -- sort of like a Monty Python skit.
But good stuff!
Rating:  - Anarchy, Genocide, Starvation - perfect setting for a JCVD movie

Rating: - I LIKE THIS WORLD!!
Here we go again! Another love it or hate it film. "Cyborg" is notable for a number of reasons. It is a showcase for Van Damme's considerable Martial Arts talent. It shows a world totally devoid of the concept of mercy. Since no one in this film can act their way out of a paper bag, the lack of dialog doesn't hurt it either.
Back before his run-in with Cocaine, Van Damme was trying to tap into the Martial Arts film genre as Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris did. He almost succeeded, were it ... Read More
