bushido_man96 Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Cyborg is still fairly decent. As long a you can get over Van Damme acting like a robot....or is that a robot, trying to act like Van Damme....???? https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
jaypo Posted December 17, 2014 Author Posted December 17, 2014 Ah, but in Cyborg, he wasn't the robot! It was the lady. She supposedly had some info. that needed to get to Atlanta, and JCVD was escorting her there. But Fender and his band of merry criminals hijacked her to benefit monetarily by getting her there first! Seek Perfection of CharacterBe FaithfulEndeavorRespect othersRefrain from violent behavior.

Patrick Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 I'm watching it on Amazon Prime, and I'm about half way through it. JCVD was up above someone doing a split over them and, somehow, they walked under him without seeing him and then they stabbed him.

PatrickIf my memory serves me correctly, it was that huge guy from "Gladiator". I have a friend that lived in LA, and she met him at an event. He kept asking her out, but she was married at the time. She said he was very nice, but HUGE!! Seek Perfection of CharacterBe FaithfulEndeavorRespect othersRefrain from violent behavior.
Patrick Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Consulting the IMDB page, that sounds right to me, jaypo. I finished the movie last night. I tend not to be too critical. It was alright - had some classic 80s elements to it. I didn't enjoy it as much as 6 Bullets, a recent Jean-Claude Van Damme film that I watched a while back. That said, it had its fun and interesting moments.The villain was a special kind of evil. Seemed like he took special pleasure in being a big jerk. Heh. After a couple of encounters, you wonder why he doesn't just kill JCVD, instead of torturing him. The scene with JCVD up on the crucifix was pretty striking (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XITc_tuH2o). I went reading about the movie and found this interesting back story: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyborg_%28film%29#ProductionEssentially that Albert Pyun, a director specializing in low budget/B movies, was working with a production company who had secured the rights to do films for both Spider-man and He-Man. But they ran into financial issues. So some of the costumes and sets they had created ended up being used for Cyborg, which Pyun supposedly wrote in one weekend. Pretty crazy.Patrick Patrick O'Keefe - KarateForums.com AdministratorHave a suggestion or a bit of feedback relating to KarateForums.com?

A weekend! Now I'm tempted to go and watch it again. I think I remember, even with nostalgia glasses on, a final fight which was essentially a yell-off between JCVD and the bad guy. Well, that does it, I'm pouring a drink and tracking this down. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww
