CYBORG 3

What the hell? Cyborg 3 isn't supposed to be better than parts 1 and 2... but it is. Ditching the cyber-punk setting of part two, the movie returns to the dusty post apocalyptic world of the original and yet it continues the storyline of the second (weird). The age of man and cyborgs co-existing is over and cyborgs find themselves outcast, hunted for their parts. The movie follows a villainous character known as The Recycler and he discovers that the fembot from the previous movie has become pregnant with a human child. This is the first pregnancy of its kind which threatens mankind but gives hope to the borgkind. Its far fetched but I was really surprised at how decent the movie actually is. It's shot well and has some really good performances. Richard Lynch plays the Recycler and he, as always, does a great job. Malcolm McDowell does his usual thing, albeit an unnecessary character but best of all is Zach Galligan (from Gremlins). He plays a reclusive designer, renowned for his work with cyborg technology... its a shame Galligan has been reduced to this sort of b-movie because he has a fantastic screen presence that deserves more attention. Anyhow, again I doubt anyone will rush out to see Cyborg 3 but where I recommended part 2 if you were to find it on sale for $1, I would jack up the worth of this one and recommend paying at least $3!! LOL
