Image from: Cyborg 3: The Recycler (1994)

I fell in love with Cyborg (starring Van Damme, of who I am not a great fan of) when I was a kid and saw it countless times. Later when I saw Cyborg 2 I never really connected with it because it wasn't a true sequel in my opinion. Recently I re-watched Cyborg 2 on Netflix. Even though it wasn't the best movie ever made I really appreciated this movie this time around. I had no idea who Agelina Jolie was when I was younger but was pleasantly surprised to re-discover that she played the part of Cash in Cyborg 2. I loved her acting in this movie. I thought she did a fantastic job for a young actress working a somewhat low budget flick. The love story of the humancyborg relationship was interesting and made for an enjoyable plot. This movie was a true love story wrapped in a low budget sci-fi shell. A definite tear jerker for some. Jack Palance deserves mentioning here a he was unforgettable as always.

That being said....

Cyborg 3 is an utter waste of time. Its the biggest steaming pile to ever disgrace my new 42" flat screen LCD. I was really pumped to see Cyborg 3 on Netflix especially after just re-viewing 2 a short while ago. I was enthusiastic about watching this movie since I have been a fan of the original for years and years. I was entirely disappointed in this movie.

When Cash finds out shes pregnant she freaks out and begs the doc to remove it immediately. This reaction is completely out of character for Cash. The love she shared with her human companion was so palpable she would have cherished this gift, this miracle and defended the child to the death. Maybe I missed something here and the child wasn't fathered by her lover and was placed in cryo suspension back at Pinwheel (any one else notice the Umbrella similarity in the logo?). Either way its still complete bullshit for Cash to act that way. It seems everything she does is out of character and I can understand why Angelina Jolie stayed as far away from this project as possible. Cash is portrayed in this movie as a scared, whiny, complaining brat. The actress playing her brings no depth to the part what-so-ever. She was created as a cool as a cucumber espionage unit, a warrior and a true survivor. This movie was an utter disaster and I can't believe Malcom McDowel actually played a part in it, maybe he was dead broke at the time. Sad, considering this man has played memorable parts in a number of great movies such as a Clockwork Orange and went on to perform in many more great movies such as Star Trek Generations. Also worth mentioning is his role in the game Wing Commander IV as Admiral Tolwyn.

CYBORG 3 - Avoid this movie at all costs. The directing is HORRIBLE, with some parts making little to no sense and other parts nearly watchable at all. Most of the actors portrayals were pretty mediocre and Zach Galligan's acting wasn't that great either. Decaff was the only cyborg actor worth giving props too. The only actor in the entire movie worth watching at all was Richard Lynch. The only reason I would recommend this movie to a friend would be for the Cyborg boobies.
