If you watch the third in the series of any film in the cyborg genre you are rather taking a chance and in this case you have to accept it for what it is. Malcolm McDowell is just on the cover to lend his name to more sales, he's hardly in it at all and frankly he must have needed the cash.
Overall the acting is very mediocre but you have to understand that this film *needs* to be trash, it is junk food and all the better for accepting it. The other Cyborg films in the series are related only by the most thin thread so that makes it even more interesting to compare them to each other (Cyborg 2 and Cyborg).

Put quite simply this film is abysmal. Its awful script and low budget is complemented by acting that makes a day-time soap-opera look like a Royal Shakespeare Company Production. Props are constucted with tin-foil and plywood in the first half of the movie then seemingly the (vast) budget overstretched and futuristic scamblers are the weapon of choice in the later half. Cyborg 3 as it's title suggests concerns the tale of an elderly futuristic gentleman with a robotic eye who has as the title suggests a penchant for recycling...not bottles though, but cyborgs! He attempts to acheive his personal catharis and character resolution through the recycling of one female cyborg who happens to be pregnant, she of course wants to protect her progeny from his diabolical clutches and plans of err...world recycling.....a decidedly anti-enviromentally freindly subtext...of course the film-makers didn't appear to think into their film this deeply...and it shows.

Quite possibly the worst movie ever made
11 April 2011
Format:DVD
I really cannot think of a movie I've seen which is worse than this one. I am a big fan of the original, and although I didn't think this would be a great movie it was way worse than I expected. One thing you expect from a Cyborg movie is action, but the action in Cyborg 3 is rare and what they do have is just terrible. You don't even see any hand-to-hand combat until the end and when it finally happens, it looks like an over-dramatized play-fight between kids in the back yard. The main character, Cash, is a pregnant cyborg whose only purpose, it seems, is to inject estrogen laced drama in what should be an action movie. All she can do is drop to the ground in pain because the baby drains her energy. She eventually meets a cyborg programmer, named Evans, who can't fight or operate his own base defenses, but he helps her up when she falls. The movie starts off with a bigass, dirty truck winding around the mountains for 5 minutes and maintains that level of excitement until it finally ends. I just wanted to see some good old ass whoopins like in the first movie, but all you get is a lot of bad dialog and a few cheap explosions. If you watch the whole thing you should earn some kind of medal. It's horrible.

Cliched and unpleasant
4 Oct 2006
Format:DVD
Movies like this are best left on the drawing board. The action is weak, the performances are awful, the scripting is terrible, the effects are super cheap and the budget is extremely low. Why make a futuristic sci-fi movie when the budget does not permit decent effects, stunts or sets? Made-for-TV movies have better effects than this movie does. Anton Lewellyn (Richard Lynch) is The Recycler, a cyborg (cybernetic organism) gone bad. He trolls the vast wasteland in search of other cyborgs so he can recycle their body parts, which he sells to Lord Talon (Malcolm Mcdowell). Though he receives top billing, McDowell is only in the movie for two scenes, totaling perhaps five minutes. Casella Reese (Khrystyne Haje) is the first cyborg to ever become impregnated and The Recycler wants the reward for it. Evans (Zach Galligan) helps Reese fend off Lewellyn and his fellow cyborg turned evil, Jocko (Andrew Bryniarski). The writing is uninspired and clichéd, replete with synchronized motorbike stunts and lines such as, "Don't you see? He's using you!" The final, epic battle in the movie is so bad it is painful to watch. It wouldn't be terrible if it did not take itself so seriously, but this is all extremely lowbrow and carelessly made for the undiscerning viewer who revels in trash cinema. The only reason to see this might be for the beautiful Khrystyne Haje, but even that is marginal at best.

Cyborg 3-Recycler
11 Feb 2002
Lucas Wiman in the opinion of the present reviewer should get himself a brain with a little more appreciative intelligence. From his personalia it is obvious that anything outside the extreme of the highly specialised academic nothing else is worthwhile. At 18 he doesn't seem to appreciate that entertainment is entertainment. I found the video presents some unusual facets of life expressed by scenarios that in our present way of thinking or experiencing are just not around. The acting was more than adequate and special effects are there to stimulate which not only adds to the story but also give that extra zing. As entertainment I consider the video is good entertainment and also good value for money.
