- Quotes
Fender Tremolo: First there was the collapse of civilization: anarchy, genocide, starvation. Then when it seemed things couldn't get any worse, we got the plague. The Living Death, quickly closing its fist over the entire planet. Then we heard the rumors: that the last scientists were working on a cure that would end the plague and restore the world. Restore it? Why? I like the death! I like the misery! I like this world!
- Alternate versionsIn 2011 Albert Pyun released the alternate cut of 'Cyborg' on DVD through his website. It is edited by Pyun and contains some previously unseen scenes that were cut from the film to earn a "R" rating rather than an "X".

Featured review
Strange to some but a cult fim nonetheless
For all JCVD fans this is probably one of the must see pictures of his. He plays gibson rickenbavker even if no one calls him by his name, actually van damme is playing van damme just to put things into perspective, he lives in a post apocalyptic world rotten by plague, misery and death where he makes a living ( if you can call that a living ) working as a slinger - something between a bodyguard and a personnal assassinn - and he has to protect a female cyborg who has information that might help scientists come up with a cure to the plague. But a group of pirates who run this apocaliptic world as they wish want the cyborg for themselves. So basically it's JCVD vs Pirates and their leader Fender who has somewhat of a past with our hero. Talking about Fender, Vicent Klyn played the villain in the movie and i know that's not his voice in the picture and that probably he didn't pursuit an acting career further because i never saw him act again but still Fender used to scare the hell out of me when i was a kid, props to him.
Let's get one thing straight it's not the plot that makes this movie, what really makes this movie is the soundtrack and a great job done by the director that made an excelldnt post apocaliptic world seem real and some awsome kickass fight scenes.
