Cyborg 2: Glass Shadow - Angelina Jolie Stars in the Action-Packed Thriller



The film takes place in 2074, years after the original film, and follows Cash Reese, a new cyborg developed for corporate espionage and assassination. She rebels against her creators after revealing they plan to destroy her by using her as a suicide bomber to take over a rival company. On the way, she falls in love with her combat trainer and encounters a renegade cyborg. The film stars Angelina Jolie in the main role, alongside Elias Koteas, Jack Palance, Billy Drago, Karen Sheperd, Allen Garfield and Renee Griffin in supporting roles. Cyborg 2 was released by Trimark Pictures direct-to-video on November 24, 1993. A sequel titled Cyborg 3: The Recycler was released in 1994.




Cyborg 2: Glass Shadow




Cash is programmed to mimic human senses and emotions such as fear, love, pain, and hate. Guided by Mercy, a renegade prototype cyborg who can communicate through any electronic device, Cash and her combat trainer Colton "Colt" Ricks escape the Pinwheel facility so Cash can avoid self-destruction, something that most corporate espionage cyborgs face. They are relentlessly pursued by Pinwheel's hired killer or "wiretapper", Daniel Bench.


Bench must also deal with a rival bounty hunter named Chen (another cyborg), who plans on killing Ricks and reprogramming Cash to have her blow up Pinwheel instead as a means to punish the company's director, Dunn, as reprisal for an earlier act from Dunn that displeased her. However, Chen and Ricks get into a fight, which results in Chen getting electrocuted by a fuse box.


In the year 2074, the cybernetics market is dominated by two rival companies: USA's Pinwheel Robotics and Japan's Kobayashi Electronics. Cyborgs are commonplace, used for anything from soldiers to prostitutes. Casella Reese is a prototype cyborg developed for corporate espionage and assassination. She is filled with a liquid explosive called Glass Shadow. Pinwheel plans to eliminate the entire Kobayashi board of directors by using Casella


Another case for never trusting other opinions. Even not what I'm about to say, because man I was completely entranced by this and I figure this doesn't have a following because people are afraid to give something called Cyborg 2 an honest shot. Similar to the first in being a B-movie with just enough meditative cyberpunk frabba jabba that lands it in a real sweet spot of high trash that happens to look absolutely stunning. As soon as this opened with a boardroom presentation where a bunch of suits are witnessing two cyborgs have sex until they explode, I knew I was watching something special. Jack Palance almost exclusively shows up as a talking mouth on conveniently placed CRT TVs to guide the main characters, until he makes an appearance in the flesh like a geriatric Rambo to save the day and say shit like "if you wanna dine with the devil you're gonna need a long spoon" (?????)


Veel minder JCVD in deze (eh.... eigenlijk gewoon helemaal niet) maar wel veel meer cyborg. En Lara Croft haar eerste filmrol. Ik vind deze Escape from Blade Runner New York van den den Aldi veel leuker dan zou moeten. En absoluut leuker dan deel 1. Ik leuke acteurs, leuke vibe, raar, over the top, knullig en geweldig.


Academy Award winners Angelina Jolie and Jack Palance star in this tasteful and thought provoking film about exploding sex robots. Billy Drago steals the show as a deranged bounty hunter. There are no cyborgs in this and it's not a sequel to Cyborg, it's actually more like Blade Runner.


Cyborg 2 (aka Cyborg 2: Glass Shadow) is the 1993 sequel to 1989's Cyborg. The film marked the first starring role for Angelina Jolie, who appears in the film as "Cash", a prototype cyborg designed for covert assassination who defies the corporation who created her by attempting to escape from their grasp. The film's cast included Elias Koteas and Jack Palance.


Starring... Elias Koteas (Fallen, Crash) Jack Palance (Ready to Rumble, City Slickers 2) Angelina Jolie Plot/Storyline: Jolie plays a cyborg created to kill, but the man hired to train her falls in love with her and steals her from the company. They go on an escape from various people hired to kill them. One of Angelina's first films..I can't really recommend it because the plot and story lack a lot, but you get to see Angelina's fighting skills...she kicks some serious ass in this movie.


Nell'anno 2074, il mercato della cibernetica è dominato da due società rivali: la statunitense Pinwheel Robotics e la giapponese Kobayashi Electronics. I "cyborg" sono all'ordine del giorno, usati per qualsiasi cosa, dai soldati alle prostitute. Casella "Cash" Reese è un prototipo di cyborg Pinwheel sviluppato per lo spionaggio aziendale e l'assassinio. È piena di un esplosivo liquido chiamato "Glass Shadow". Il CEO di Pinwheel, Martin Dunn, prevede di eliminare l'intero consiglio di amministrazione di Kobayashi utilizzando Cash come attentatore suicida per accelerare un'acquisizione ostile della società e ottenere il monopolio del mercato dei cyborg.


Cash è programmata per imitare i sensi e le emozioni umane come paura, amore, dolore e odio. Guidati da Mercy, un prototipo di cyborg rinnegato in grado di comunicare attraverso qualsiasi dispositivo elettronico, Cash e il suo allenatore di combattimento Colton "Colt" Ricks scappano dalla struttura della girandola in modo che Cash possa evitare l'autodistruzione, qualcosa che la maggior parte dei cyborg di spionaggio aziendale deve affrontare. Sono inseguiti incessantemente dall'assassino o "intercettatore" di Pinwheel, Daniel Bench.


Bench deve anche fare i conti con un cacciatore di taglie rivale di nome Chen, un altro cyborg, che ha intenzione di uccidere Ricks e riprogrammare Cash per farla saltare in aria, la Pinwheel invece come mezzo per punire il direttore della compagnia, Dunn, utilizzandola come rappresaglia per un atto precedente di Dunn che le dispiaceva. Tuttavia, Chen e Ricks litigano, il che si traduce in Chen che viene fulminata da una scatola dei fusibili.

She is filled with a liquid explosive called "Glass Shadow". Pinwheel plans to eliminate the entire Kobayashi board of directors using Casella as a suicide bomber to precipitate a hostile takeover of the company and obtain a monopoly over the cyborg market.

Mercy is later revealed to be a human/cyborg hybrid who was created by Pinwheel as a means to create the next stage in human evolution, but Mercy escaped before they had a chance to erase his memory. Ricks and Bench get into a boxing match to find out who lives and who dies, namely going to the African coast, which results in Bench getting mutilated by a rotating fan, killing him. Cash and Ricks escape to a new life in Africa after winning the tournament, while Mercy confronts Dunn by blaming him for ruining his life.


In the year 2074 the PinWheel corporation creates an 'almost-human' cyborg Casella Reese, aka Cash, designed specifically to charm/seduce her way into a rival manufacturer's headquarters and then self-deto ... مشاهده کامل 2ff7e9595c
