Review of Cyborg Cop (1993) by Nich O — 16 Sep 2012
Cyborg Cop is one of the greatest of a specific kind of bad action movie from the early 90s. There is no camp, no irony, no winking smirk at the audience or acknowledgement of budget constraints. Everything about this movie is so serious and stunningly non-self aware that it is truly a thing of beauty. The titular Cyborg may get 5 minutes of screen time. Watching people terrified as they hold themselves back from escaping his staggering gait is delightful. He punches his hand through a guy's head. The look on the guys face is priceless. Science!
The love roller coaster between Bradley and Shaw features some of the bar nothing worst acting ever. I've seen this movie a dozen times and it still fills me with joy, this kind of bad movie just can't be made anymore. Smug cynical self awareness is so prevalent these days that you simply won't find any new movies this poor who appear to be gunning for Oscars with their overreaching eagerness.
