it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
This is one of those films that gets better as you drink more beer. Great movie to watch with your pack of snarky friends. The Rifftrax version works too if your snarky friends haven't called in sick to avoid another useless staff meeting and you are home alone. It isn't great cinema but it has high fun potential.
David Bradley stars as Jack Ryan (No relation obviously to Harrison Ford or Alec Baldwin's character from Patriot Games and Hunt For Red October) who takes on the crook he killed, after the scientists automate him (Why?) Naturally this leads to lots of shooting and stilted action which makes no sense and for the most part comes off as a bore. David Bradley has to be the worst action star ever, every movie he makes seems worse than the other and Cyborg Cop II is a lame title since there is no cop that is cybernetic. Also if memory serves me, this has little relation with the first, which was indescribably better. This is as lame as Robocop rip offs get and really unless you suffer from insomnia (Like I do, which explains why I sat through American Ninja 5, American Samurai, this and more on Spike TV) this is hardly worth watching.1/5 Matt Bronson Review brought to you courtesy of Spike TV and their midnight airing.
As a self-proclaimed connoisseur of b-movies, I don't know that I can really say it earned my generous 8/10... While the movie was definitely something during which I spent a lot of time laughing, it was also one during which I spent numerous moments exclaiming comments like, "Oh now they're just being silly." I appreciate bad movies as much as the next person. Hey I'm a Full Moon Entertainment (Dollman, Puppetmaster, etc.) fan, but I have to draw the line somewhere. Maybe I'm just nitpicking, but roll with me on this one. 1) These are highly sophisticated pieces of cybernetic machinery with the most advanced weapons known to man. I'd think they'd have been given a better targeting system, consider they fired an total of 7,500 rounds of ammo they only killed one human directly. Amazingly enough, Starkraven (oh there's something I'll get to later) was a better shot as a human! 2) "Starkraven"? I suppose he was "Starkraven" mad! Please, if the Crow couldn't pull it off with Eric Draven (D. Raven), what made Sam think he could? 3) Why is it that with all the gunfire nobody ever thought to aim for flesh?? 4) I place this on the bad side, but I found it rather amusing. I could write a cliché dictionary from this movie. The top of the list was when Ryan was referred to as a "loose cannon" 5) Did anyone notice that at one scene towards the end Ryan managed to ignite a liquid CLEARLY marked as INFLAMMABLE? This alone made me laugh so hard I nearly shot milk out my nose... And I hadn't been drinking any milk.6) Now I know I'm about to tick someone off if I haven't already. I'm really picking on this one, but I would have probably enjoyed this movie a little better if the soundtrack had changed once in a while, other than changing tempo. But no, 2 hours of the same darned song...7) And while I'm thinking about it, in the gas station scene.. So you're trying to tell me these cyborgs are so powerful they can withstand a pointblank shotgun blast to the chest without so much as a backwards step, but a "loose cannon" cop driving by on his motorcycle can knock one over by kicking him in the belly? And one to grow on 8) I just think really bad child actors need to be fired out of principle and shipped off to Saturn before they're allowed to grow up and grow worse...Ultimately, the best two uses for this movie: a) when you're really feeling down (let's say you just made a movie and someone said it was bad, watch this movie and then you'll really understand what a bad movie is) b) when you have a date and you have no intention of watching it, but be prepared it will draw your attention back in (in that you will glance back up at the screen with a confused "Excuse me?" expression) Still I give it 8/10 just because I haven't laughed this hard at what I felt was a POORLY executed attempt at a serious movie. I didn't see any REAL attempts at being campy, and yet, 2 hours of one seriously campy movie...
I just watched this movie 2 days ago and i was tempted to see the reviews. In a nutshell, this movie sucks. The voice of the cyborgs are beyond ridiculous and the special effects the product of what you'd learn in a semester at Heald College.The whole film was laced with unreal fights and the worst dialogue i have ever seen in a movie... and i've seen a lot. The writer/director obviously made a pathetic attempt to add some intellectual value to the movie by having a scientist explain the anatomy of the cyborg "Spraticus" in one seen, but all it did was make me laugh even more.The "key" scene in this movie was when the good cop, called out Sparticus for a fight. It was a pathetic attempt at a serious dramatic scene. Whats worse is that Sparticus responds with " YOU..LOSE..HUMAN" --- how cheesy is that? The last fight was ridiculous beyond belief when i saw the cyborg jump 30 feet in the air... 30 FEET! Then i knew the movie had just gone too far.Did the cast and crew of this movie actually think it was going to be a success? I hope they all found new jobs after this failure. You want cyborgs? Watch Jean Clause Van Dammes movie "Cyborg".
