It´s not hard to destinguish: cyborgs are originally human, but altered by technology, while androids are completely artificial beings. I am aware that they call the Terminator a cyborg in the movies, but that´s perhabs because "cyborg" was such a buzzword in th 1980s. In the latest sequel, Terminator Salvation, Marcus is an actual cyborg (there called a "hybrid" to destinguish him from the purely robotical Terminators).

Pyun studied under Kurosawa, and has more of a right to pay homage to his teacher than Clint Eastwood or Bruce Willis. The no-humans angle had some balls at the very least. That said, his movies are best left on mute for the horrible script execution. Cyborg was originally supposed to be dialogue-less and B&W, which would've been an improvement, albeit making it art-house. Anyway, enjoy the list, although a few are passably watchable, unlike a lot of films you've luckily haven't seen yet, such as... wow: Hardware, Future War, Futurekick, Prototype X29a, R.O.T.O.R, Shadow Warrior, T.C. 2000... and some movies I don't even remember the name of.

Sometimes you've got to look at the amount of shite there is in the movieworld (even if only for a couple of minutes) to fully appreciate the good stuff. Ha ha … they’re great arn’t they …
