Podcast: Cyborg 2: Glass Shadow (1993)

Listen on Apple Podcasts

We continue our ad hoc mini cyborg series with a sequel to an Albert Pyun movie but not directed by Pyun: Cyborg 2: Glass Shadow.


Cash (a 17 year old Angelina Jolie in her first starring role) is a top-of-the-line cyborg created to seduce her company’s competitors and blow them up. Her and her karate instructor Colton Ricks (Elias Koteas) have a good rapport, but a mysterious mouth named Mercy (Jack Palance) connect with both of them on every available CRT television nearby.

Mercy helps them both escape and they’re on the run from competing cyborg hunters Chen (Karen Sheperd) and the unhinged Danny Bench (Billy Drago). They eventually find themselves at an outpost Fallout-style town where Colt must fight in a death match for the money to escape.

Trivia:

  • Trigger Warning: 17 year old Angelina Jolie has an elaborate softcore sex scene in this. Jon Voight had her legally emancipated in order to do this movie and not have to be there to watch all the icky sex scenes (what a great dad!).
  • If you want to throw up just like Angelina Jolie did after watching Cyborg 2, just read some of the wonderful IMDb user created trivia for this movie.
  • Available to rent on Amazon Prime. Unless you want to do a trial of MovieSphere (whatever that is). Then it's free, or whatever.
