10. Pearl Prophet - Cyborg (1989)
You can call me unsophisticated, but I love Jean-Claude Van Damme movies. Most of them are recycled trash from previous Van Damme movies and a lot of them seem to have the same plot (Bloodsport, Kickboxer,The Quest, etc. ), but darn it, I watch them all repeatedly. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, Cyborg tells the tale of a cyborg sent as a courier to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Pearl Prophet, the cyborg, must deliver information to the CDC to assist in developing a cure to the plague that ended civilization. Cyborg is not a good movie, but it has lots of martial arts and it has a fun female cyborg. Asking any more from this movie's plot would be greedy.
9. The Colossus of New York (1958)
The Colossus of New York, a movie I'll soon be covering in my ongoing
Forgotten B&W Horror series, is one of those science-will-destroy-us-all movies that pervades the decade of the 1950's. Still, it's a decent enough film and, most importantly for this article, it has a cyborg. Jeremy Spensser is a Nobel Peace Prize winning offspring of an incredibly wonderful family of scientists and humanitarians. Unfortunately for Jeremy (but fortunately for us movie buffs) he is killed in an automobile accident. Jeremy's father, a talented brain surgeon, enlists the help of Jeremy's brother to transplant Jeremy's brain into an incredibly powerful robot (the colossus), thereby allowing Jeremy and his impressive mind to live on and benefit humanity. There's only one problem - Jeremy starts to go a little bit nutso due to the stress of his accident and the isolation from his family and the rest of humanity. I won't tell you about the ending here. Just go watch and enjoy the film.
