Cybernator

Cybernator is a terrible terrible movie. If you can laugh at B movie incompetence, then this will be right up your alley!

The movie is packed with goofs a-plenty: the weird background noises when the actors are talking; the moment in the showdown when the villain pauses, checks his mic, then carries on with the scene; the hilariously dorky cyborgs (one of whom has a high-tech cyber-chin); the cartoonish rubber-faced acting from our "hunky" male lead; the list goes on. The film's main cyborg, Captain Hair, has a laughable, scream-filled death scene reminiscent of Bela Lugosi getting killed by a fake, immobile octopus in Bride Of The Monster.

Thanks to the hammy actors and schlocky visuals, this film doesn't get boring. Despite having some obvious padding scenes, it stays entertaining throughout, which is a feat for a B-movie. The final showdown has a lot of talking, but William Smith as the smug villain is so entertaining, and both characters are so totally bumbling that even this scene is a hoot. (At one point, the villain is strangling the life out of the hero... then just quits and starts to wander away while still talking to him, as if he just got bored with the strangling and forgot to keep it up.)

Fans of Invader Zim might recognize Captain Hair from his little cameo in that cartoon. ("What I'm trying to say, sirrrrr...") If the creators of Zim enjoyed this movie, that's quite an endorsement if you ask me!
