CYBORG (1989) - Jean-Claude Van Damme - Reel Action |
![]() |
In 1989, Jean-Claude Van Damme was riding high off the unexpected success of BLOODSPORT. At the same time, The Cannon Group saw their fortunes declining fast after losing a ton of money on would-be blockbusters LIFEFORCE, MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, and SUPERMAN IV: THE QUEST FOR PEACE. Enter director Albert Pyun, who Cannon Films hired to direct both the hoped-for SPIDER-MAN movie and a low-budget MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE 2, which would have starred surfer Laird Hamilton. Eventually, Cannon decided to ditch both projects, opting to take the sets for MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE 2 and return to their tried-and-true low-budget action movie route, making a post-apocalyptic action flick.
Originally Chuck Norris was meant to star in CYBORG, but given how big BLOODSPORT was, the decision was made to hire the new red-hot JCVD in what would turn out to be his last film for the company. But, of course, the film turned out to be a bit of a mess, with Van Damme himself reportedly re-editing the film at the eleventh hour. The result is one of Cannon's last action flicks and one that still has a cult following to this day - CYBORG - and we dig into it on this latest instalment of REEL ACTION!
