I was compelled to buy this piece of shhhh...urely quality programming after seeing it on Sci-Fi one morning.  I'd been curious about it for a while (how can you NOT want to rent a movie that has a robotic Jack Palance on the video box??  Ohhh how I wish they'd actually shown a Cyborg Jack, doing one-armed bionic pushups.....)

This is a fun, stupid movie. Ol' Jack, creepy-but-weirdly-attractive Billy Drago, even Angie Jolie proves she could once act before she had the plastic surgery.  Even a halfway happy ending.  Awwwww.

You forgot the best (I'm kidding of course) line in the movie by Jack Palance

"If you're gonna dine with the devil, you're gonna need a loooooong spoon"

egh...it still hurts

I found this one to be slow at times, although Jack Palance ruled every scene he was in. What really got me though was the fact that Angelina Jolie was probably not, as they say "of legal age" when she made this movie back in early -93, which would make this the (besides Traci Lords´s body of work) probably only piece of child-pornography widely distributed.

This alone makes it one of the weirdest films on this site.

Jack Palance is a huge reason to see this film.  His character is just awesome.  "If you're going to dine with the Devil, you'll need long spoon!" (Say that like Mr. Palance would; it's hilarious.)

The IMDb lists the release date for "Cyborg 2" as 24 Nov 1993.  Angelina Jolie would have turned 18 on 4 June 1993 (again, per the IMDb).  It is feasible for her topless scenes to have been shot after her birthday.

I actually thought this movie was kind of sweet at the end  :smile:

only one upside: seeing a young Angelina Jolie in her best shape, style, and looks.
Otherwise it's junky. the first Cyborg was cheesy but still it has it's own quality to it.
It's blunt, in your face, no excuses, grainy, dirty, and dark. The only movie where Jean-Claude Van Dam had some great fighting scenes. I mean a sharp nail coming out the front of your boot as your kick their throat is just too awesome.
