This is one of those films that gets better as you drink more beer. Great movie to watch with your pack of snarky friends. The Rifftrax version works too if your snarky friends haven't called in sick to avoid another useless staff meeting and you are home alone. It isn't great cinema but it has high fun potential.

By all rights, CYBORG COP 2 should be a piece of trash and by all rights, it is. A cheap and cheerful rip-off of better sci-fi films (in particular TERMINATOR 2, with which it shares many stylistic similarities), it's made without an ounce of originality and yet plenty of enthusiasm, to the degree that it actually turns out to be entertaining to watch. Yes, it's a piece of trash through and through, but it's entertaining trash – and I'll take entertaining trash over a boring blockbuster any day of the week.The plot is unconnected to the first film, and one again there are no cybernetic cops, although we do get low-rent action man David Bradley returning as the hero. This time around he's up against a villain clearly influenced by ROBOCOP's Clarence Boddiker, and there's an absolute ton of action thrown in along the way as he battles an army of unstoppable cyborgs. I don't know where Firstenberg got his budget, but the movie is chock full of cheesy fight scenes and endless explosions; barely a minute goes by without extras being gunned down in slow motion by the robotic army.Some aspects of the production are intensely irritating, like the endless and moronic musical score, played on an organ for the most part, which really saps life from many of the scenes. The editing is pretty dodgy too with a couple of shots transposed and most of the action filmed in a repetitive way. Bradley's acting is terrible as is that of the rest of the cast, although I did gain enjoyment from Morgan Hunter's ultra-hammy bad guy. But this is a movie for trash fans all the way.

Second attempt by the director Sam Firstenberg to pick in on the cyborg flicks but as the first entry failed due it's cheapness this goes a bit further into that era. David Bradley came back as Jack Ryan and still does what he can do best, fighting. This time there are a bunch of Cyborgs to destroy but again they all looked cheap and the voice effects used was a bit stupid. But the cyborg this time didn't walk like a wooden doll, he was played by Morgan Hunter and he did better than the first cyborg. Like in the original one it did have some gratuitous nudity again in a fabric were girls are working topless. But one girl really couldn't act, sadly she had a bit of main role, Liz played by Jill Pierce was as wooden as it could be. But this time I guess that the money was really nothing at all because they weren't ashamed to edit stupid mistakes in their flick. Just look at the soldiers sometimes or passengers in crashing cars. You could easily see that they were dummies. Even when Jack Ryan is doing stuff with windows or fire or whatsoever you can see a stuntman with different hair. So this is one for the buffs of SBIG flicks. Gore 0/5 Nudity 1/5 Effects 1/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 1/5

As a self-proclaimed connoisseur of b-movies, I don't know that I can really say it earned my generous 8/10... While the movie was definitely something during which I spent a lot of time laughing, it was also one during which I spent numerous moments exclaiming comments like, "Oh now they're just being silly." I appreciate bad movies as much as the next person. Hey I'm a Full Moon Entertainment (Dollman, Puppetmaster, etc.) fan, but I have to draw the line somewhere. Maybe I'm just nitpicking, but roll with me on this one. 1) These are highly sophisticated pieces of cybernetic machinery with the most advanced weapons known to man. I'd think they'd have been given a better targeting system, consider they fired an total of 7,500 rounds of ammo they only killed one human directly. Amazingly enough, Starkraven (oh there's something I'll get to later) was a better shot as a human! 2) "Starkraven"? I suppose he was "Starkraven" mad! Please, if the Crow couldn't pull it off with Eric Draven (D. Raven), what made Sam think he could? 3) Why is it that with all the gunfire nobody ever thought to aim for flesh?? 4) I place this on the bad side, but I found it rather amusing. I could write a cliché dictionary from this movie. The top of the list was when Ryan was referred to as a "loose cannon" 5) Did anyone notice that at one scene towards the end Ryan managed to ignite a liquid CLEARLY marked as INFLAMMABLE? This alone made me laugh so hard I nearly shot milk out my nose... And I hadn't been drinking any milk.6) Now I know I'm about to tick someone off if I haven't already. I'm really picking on this one, but I would have probably enjoyed this movie a little better if the soundtrack had changed once in a while, other than changing tempo. But no, 2 hours of the same darned song...7) And while I'm thinking about it, in the gas station scene.. So you're trying to tell me these cyborgs are so powerful they can withstand a pointblank shotgun blast to the chest without so much as a backwards step, but a "loose cannon" cop driving by on his motorcycle can knock one over by kicking him in the belly? And one to grow on 8) I just think really bad child actors need to be fired out of principle and shipped off to Saturn before they're allowed to grow up and grow worse...Ultimately, the best two uses for this movie: a) when you're really feeling down (let's say you just made a movie and someone said it was bad, watch this movie and then you'll really understand what a bad movie is) b) when you have a date and you have no intention of watching it, but be prepared it will draw your attention back in (in that you will glance back up at the screen with a confused "Excuse me?" expression) Still I give it 8/10 just because I haven't laughed this hard at what I felt was a POORLY executed attempt at a serious movie. I didn't see any REAL attempts at being campy, and yet, 2 hours of one seriously campy movie...
