History Film / Manborg

* AwesomeMcCoolname: #1 Man is just ridiculous and impressive enough to qualify.

* KnifeNut: Mina's choice weapons are knives, both thrown and swung.

* StylisticSuck

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: #1 Man and the Baron have crushes on Mina, Shadow-mega seems to have some jealousy regarding the Baron's infatuation for Mina, and Mina just...isn't interested.

* EvilCounterpart: Shadow-mega, being a super-soldier created from infernal experimentation on a human, is one to Manborg. Interestingly, he never has a climactic fight with her. Instead, he fights Count Draculon and she fights [[spoiler:her friend, ]]Mina.

* EvilFormerFriend: [[spoiler:Shadow-mega, though there doesn't seem to be anything of her old self left.]]
* EvilIsVisceral: Unlike Manborg, Shadow-mega's modifications turn her into a monstrous-looking demon. Interestingly, they're both examples of infernal science.

'''Manborg:''' No...heaven...?!]]

* HongKongDub: #1 Man's dialogue is dubbed this way...by '''[[KyleHebert KYLE HEBERT]]'''.

''Manborg'' is a 2011 film from Creator/{{Astron6}}. It follows the story of an unnamed soldier of the Hell Wars, fought and eventually lost by humanity against the infernal forces of [[{{BigBad}} Count Draculon]]. Shot dead after vowing bloody revenge, he is dragged off the battlefield by an unseen party and resurrected with Hell's best robo-technology, turning him into Manborg, humanity's only hope against the demons. With his human allies: [[{{Delinquents}} Justice]], [[{{OnlySaneMan}} Mina]], and [[{{WorldsStrongestMan}} #1 Man]] (who is voiced by [[{{KyleHebert}} KYLE HEBERT]]), he must confront Count Draculon and end his reign of terror.

* BolivianArmyEnding: [[spoiler: Count Draculon is dead, but the forces of Hell are still there. Justice, Mina, and #1 Man still have a war to win.]]

Unlike certain other examples such as ''TheFinalSacrifice'', ''Manborg'' is well-aware of its limitations and relies on being intentionally terrible in just the right ways. In addition to its intentional failures, it's also full of non-meta humor, to the point that its status as an AffectionateParody of low-budget sci-fi action movies is obvious.

* [[{{OneDialogueTwoConversations}} One Dialogue, '''Three''' Conversations]]: Manborg talks to two people (the Baron and Dr. Scorpius), both face to face, one after the other...and the three of them each seem to have one side of ''entirely different conversations''.

* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:#1 Man was forced to train Hell's armies, and Dr. Scorpius created Manborg to atone for his mistake of opening the gateway to Hell in the first place.]]

* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Manborg has a katana stored in his right arm.

* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Averted with Manborg. He's mostly the same guy he used to be.

* TheDragon: The Baron is capable of matching #1 Man.

* GunFu: Justice's favored fighting style.

* NotSoHarmless: Sure, he's a goofy fumblethumbs when it comes to romantic overtures, but the Baron is more than capable of fighting #1 Man on even footing.

---> '''The Baron:''' ''looks down somewhat dejectedly'' Oh.

* SpeedStripes: Mina and #1 Man are fast enough to get these.
* StylisticSuck: Despite being a cheesy sci-fi action movie, it diverges from many of its more-ambitious kin by embracing its limitations and making them the draw. Shortly put, it was meant to be entertainingly terrible.

---> ''[[spoiler: [[{{OhCrap}} Manborg's smile fades]].]]''

* [[{{WorldsStrongestMan}} World's Strongest Man]]: #1 Man is capable of punching demon heads clean off their shoulders!
