Brief summary
Ex-cop Jack (David Bradley) receives an emergency call from his brother Philip (Todd Jensen). he needs him to go to St. Keith Island in the Caribbean. There a wealthy mad scientist (John Rhys-Davies) is transforming men into killer cyborgs and selling them on the black market.
Unknown to Jack, the scientist has already operated on his brother, changing Philip's torso and right arm into mechanically assisted bulletproof steel, making him another killing machine.
The film has two sequels, Cyborg Cop II and III. The last was released as Terminal Impact in 1995.[1]
Critical reception
Critical reception was generally, although not universally, poor. Halliwell's Film Guide, for example, described it as "dim standard robot action fodder" with a "violent, cliché-ridden plot."[2] Disagreeing with this assessment, M J Simpson, staff writer for SFX, described the film as "one of the all-time great straight to video action flicks."[3]
