Things I have learned from watching Cyborg

posted 17 years ago by kapaulson

I noticed that this movie doesnt have one so here goes...

- I've learned that everyone in the post apocalyptic future needs cool musical instrument brand names.

- I've learned that if you are crucified and still have the strength to break the post you are on, the 15 foot drop and sudden stop wont cause major tearing of flesh and you heal almost instantaneously.

- Ralf Moeller looks horrible in a Dee Snider wig

Van Damme is Belgian, not French.

- you can make a man get up by punching him off screen.
- bad guys don't know how to dispose of heroes in a clean and safe way.
- Jesus was Belgian.

Ah, so "Gibson Rickenbacker" is a Belgian name, not a French name.

That's something else I learned from watching Cyborg . . .

- the future looks *beep* apart from some shots of LA in the background that are completely untouched
- Fender is david gaynors mum/dad
- it is possible to do a painting of the future and film it like real scenery
- van damme is fat, vincent klyne has my stomach
- vincent klyne isnt a beer man
- im never vincent klyne (see the end fight scene)
- im never van damme (see crucifixion scene)
- that cyborg will hold woks in her boutton
- van dammes daughter who holds the barb wire is a prick
- van dammes daughter is more of a sell out than prince in concert

- When you throw a knife at someone it will sail past them in a perfect straight line
- In Atlanta, no-one can stop Fender. Not even Gibson Rickenbacker.
- Don't bother telling Fender to go to hell. He's already been there.
- Jean Claude Vanne Damme has a f*%ked hairdo

"- Ralf Moeller looks horrible in a Dee Snider wig" LOL. Dee Snider and Sarah Jessica Parker are in fact the same person.

"- Pirates are peeping toms" HAHAHAHAHAAA!!!

-Fender can't swim. HE HATES THE WATER, @SSHOLE!

-Judging by the female pirate's green fuzzy teeth, toothpaste is in short supply. Shyt, I'd hate to be her vaginacologist.

-Gibson is loaded with blades and shyt, but every time he's attacked, he loses 10-15 weapons.

-If you own the plague, you'll be a God.

-Fender, Nady, and Pearl Prophet all have twice as many lines as Gibson.

You were born a pig farmer.
You'll always BE a pig farmer.
And now, you will DIE a pig farmer.

For such a foul-mouthed, uncouth bad-ass pirate with a bloodthirsty, psychopathic rage, Fender has such grace with (some) women and dresses like a stylish metrosexual poet, just simply disregards his teeth.

Grunting morons will rule the world in post apocalyptic times.

Cyborgs typically wear wigs you can find at your local beauty shops or thrift stores.

Grunting morons will rule the world in post apocalyptic times.

In contrast to the articulate morons who rule the world in pre-apocalyptic times.

A Cyborg without a Wig on is the Creepiest and Most Terrifying Sight you will Encounter in the Post-Apocalyptic Wasteland

If you are crucified or dropped down a well, you are automatically *beep* unless you happen to be Jean Claude Van Damme.

The gangs of the future will: 1) Recklessly slaughter innocent people, including children. 2) Afterwards, gloat about it like the dickhead jocks from your high school after trash-canning a freshman. 3) Yell for no reason whatsoever and 4) Have utterly ridiculous hair.

- Slingers make great well-climbers
- Through-and-through wrist injuries do not get inflamed/infected, and do not interfere with one's ability to grasp weapons or throw punches
- Knife in the chest does not kill you; but hook in the back does
- The realization that your sweetheart is the same girl you physically and psychologically tortured as a child can dawn on you at any time
- Witnessing one man kill dozens of your fellow gang members will not deter you from your belief that YOU will be the one to take him down
- Slingers announce "final battle" with a single arrow shot at your feet
- Cyborgs are programmed to double-cross supervillains
- Plagues are hard to catch
- Post-apocalyptic gang hierarchy is largely determined by incising one's palm

Given that the plague is a few years or decades old (collapse of civilization), heavy smoke still pervades most of the vehicles seemingly after all this time.

Can I have Gibson's medical care, because after watching him be beaten down by ghoulish pirates and crucified. Once, we spot Gibson and Nady in Atlanta to stop the pirates for one last time. Our much-beloved slinger is almost clean as a whistle.

-Don't own a boat

-Don't play with a ball

-Try not to leave enough barb wire by a well as could be wrapped around your
entire family and used to hold them over said well

-Long hair will come back in style but then it will go out again so maybe just shave your head.

-If you growl a lot you might convince people you're a pirate and they'll stay away from you

-Gas masks become a fashion statement

-Food will be scarce but it's OK because you can still maintain a beef cake on a rationed canned goods diet

Honestly though I like Cyborg, love the blades and guns weaponry post apocalypse survival of the best killing machine. I hope the sequel or prequel whatever it is gets a good job done on it. We gotta put our blades on.

It's impossible to see someone doing the splits over 2 pillars, even if those pillars are only 10 feet tall. You will, however, get the inclination to look up when directly underneath him, but it'll be too late (even though he'll take his time lifting up his weapon to kill you with).

If you are a Cyborg and you removed your wig, you will acquire clay animation movements.

After saving someone's life, tell them you helped them only because you mistook them for another person.

In an apocalyptic world everyone has to scream non stop, that alone increases your fighting chances by a whole *beep* lot.

Unsightly scars on your body? Have yourself crucified. Clears them right up.

1. 20 hard shots to the body won't cause internal bleeding, nor will 40 shots to the face make it look like hamburger meat.

2. In a post-apocalypse, bullet and knife wounds heal very fast.

3. The female warrior's will always find a way to fight each other.

4. Clenching a filthy dirty knife between your teeth is the most irritating way of showing that you are a badass.

5. Having sex to wonder music makes it that much more meaningful.

- "I am a CYBORG!" Who cares! You didn't use your cyborgenic brain for any purpose whatsoever in the story. The least you could have done is plot a safe GPS course back to Atlanta instead of through gang/pirate territory. Also, you should be wearing a HELMET, not a wig!

- Gibson die twice, Nady dies three times, GAME OVER!

- A story in Georgia, and hardly anyone has a gun?

- A world with few guns, almost no one uses a crossbow or a bow?

- Dude's got his restaurant & family. Fighting mutant pirates? Ain't nobody got time for that!

- Mountain bikes declared ILLEGAL, I guess.

- The weather in Atlanta is much worse than any other city in Georgia.

- If someone comes in front of you with swords and you have a gun, just put away the gun and draw your own sword, even if you can die and you have a mission to save the world, it's much more important to have a fair fight.

- Nady can't seen anything behind her.

- When you seen your enemy goes down the sewer don't think to send out some soldiers to the next sewage pit to flank him.

- One moment you can be unconscious, almost dead, and o moment later, wake up and run very fast like nothing happen.
