All these guns, what could go wrong ?

Let me get this out of the way first, this is not just a RoboCop rip off. This was directed by Sam Firstenberg who made some real gems we are familiar with, and he does not disappoint here with this classic. The first 15 minutes are pretty slow, but once stuff starts exploding and we meet the entire cast, you should strap yourself in for a wild ride.
Jack is a serious dude, and he's not afraid to get dirty and be a bad-ass to get the job done, even while wearing a fanny pack the entire time.



As to be expected, there's a lot of fighting. It has that sloppy but appealing 80's style of fisticuffs, which keeps the mood light and leaves room for some laughs. Soon enough we meet Cathy. Oh boy! Cathy is a vivacious reporter that gets caught up in Jack's mission, and they spend a lot of time trying to out-sass each other, which obviously turns up the heat! She doesn't do much for the plot, but I'm glad they included her character to contrast with Jack.

"You're pretty bad yourself... Bad with a banana!"  - Jack

The cyborg effects aren't the worst I've ever seen, but still pretty silly looking. They compensate for those by having the cyborg actually doing cool cyborg things, like getting into fights, smashing cars, and killing people in gory ways.
John Rhys-Davies plays a pretty funny bad guy, with an accent that seems to be all over the place. He's always in a really good mood, drinking tea, making jokes, and he treats his goons pretty nice. It's rather refreshing to see a villain who still knows how to appreciate the little things in life.

* making dirt bike noises *

Be sure not to miss:
- Liberal use of the chicken sound effects
- The guitar player at the bar. That dude is having the best day of his life!
- Ticking-clock bombs, straight out of a cartoon.
