Back on the early and late 80s, Cannon Films was planning on making both a ''[[SpiderMan Spider-Man]]'' film and a sequel to ''[[HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse Masters of the Universe]]''. Albert Pyun at the helm of both projects, filming them back to back. However, after more than a dozen re-writes and an investment of two million in pre-production and very early production, Cannon Films began to lose money fast. It eventually lost the rights for both franchises.\\

'''''Cyborg''''' is a 1989 post-apocalyptic action film starring JeanClaudeVanDamme as [[AwesomeMcCoolName Gibson Rickenbacker]]. Rickenbacker battles a gang of marauding thugs led by Fender Tremolo, played by Vincent Klyn.

Directed by Albert Pyun and produced by the infamous late 80s and early 90s Cannon Films, it is considered one of Pyun's most mainstream and commercially successful films. Had two sequels, but InNameOnly. The first sequel marks AngelinaJolie's debut.

* AfterTheEnd: "First there was the collapse of civilization... anarchy, genocide, starvation...then we got the plague."

* EyeScream: An actor lost an eye after being accidentally stabbed with a prop knife... ''and it is apparently on the film''.

* MusicalThemeNaming: Most characters are named after guitars and manufacturers (Gibson Rickenbacker, Fender Tremolo, Marshall Strat, Les [Paul], Pearl Prophet...)

* SleeperHit: The budget was of roughly $500,000. The gross revenue was $29,866,459. Even if one takes in account the 2 million dollars in PropRecycling, that's still quite a big revenue.

** Back on the early and late 80s, Cannon Films was actually planning on making both a SpiderMan and HeMan sequel film, Albert Pyun at the helm of both, filming them back to back. However, after more than a dozen re-writes and 2 millions invested in pre-production and very early production, Cannon Films began to lose money (and fast) and eventually lost the rights for both franchises. Wanting to recuperate some of the money and time invested, Albert Pyun was tasked to come with a project that could use the production values like sets and costumes of both (now) failed projects. Pyun came up with the story in a weekend and, $500,000 dollars and 24 days of frenetic shooting and editing later, ''Cyborg'' was released.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The script was written with the idea of Chuck Norris playing the lead. Its still unknown why Van Damme was cast on his place.

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[Spoiler Gibson leaves Fendor impaled on a large meat hook by the end of the movie's climatic fight]]
