Cyborg 2 (1993) | Angelina Jolie, Jack Palance's Mouth & A Serious Lack of Action 🤖💥

Season 1 · Episode 437

Friday, October 23, 2026 • Duration 01:35:52

This week, The Good, The Bad, and The Sequel is heading to the year 2074 for Cyborg 2, the direct-to-video sequel to the 1989 Jean-Claude Van Damme sci-fi action movie!

This time around, we're following Cash Reese, a cyborg played by a very young Angelina Jolie, who's caught up in a corporate conspiracy involving artificial humans, explosive technology, and a whole lot of questionable decisions.

But does Cyborg 2 deliver the futuristic action we're looking for, or does this sequel need a serious software update?

We dig into everything, including:

🤖 Angelina Jolie being just 17 during filming and looking back at one of her earliest starring roles

👄 Jack Palance's mouth on camera — because apparently getting the rest of him involved was optional

💥 The surprising lack of action in a sequel to a movie starring Jean-Claude Van Damme

🦾 Cyborgs vs. androids — what exactly is the difference, and does this movie know?

💣 The brilliant corporate strategy of building cyborgs with explosives inside them

❤️ Cash Reese and Colt 45's unusual romance — because nothing says love like a futuristic assassination plot

🏢 The competing corporations and their plans for the future of humanity

🎭 Billy Drago bringing his unmistakable screen presence to the proceedings

🔫 The movie's attempts to deliver sci-fi thrills, martial arts, and futuristic action on a limited budget

🎬 How Cyborg 2 compares to the original Cyborg and whether it deserves to carry on the franchise

😂 The strange plot choices, questionable dialogue, and wonderfully dated '90s sci-fi atmosphere

🤔 Whether this sequel is an underrated cult classic or a movie that should have remained in sleep mode

And, of course, we'll be debating whether Cyborg 2 is a worthy follow-up or another example of Hollywood proving that just because you can make a sequel doesn't mean you should!

Next week, Doug is cashing in a Hall Pass, and we're heading back to Haddonfield for Halloween II (1981)!

Michael Myers is back, Laurie Strode is still in danger, and we're checking into Haddonfield Memorial Hospital for a sequel that picks up right where John Carpenter's original left off.

We'll be talking about the kills, the hospital setting, Michael Myers' relentless pursuit, and the big revelation that changed the franchise forever.

Will Doug's Hall Pass deliver the Halloween sequel we've been waiting for, or will Jamie be looking for a way out of this one?

🎃 It's time to find out if Halloween really is the night HE came home!

Yep… James Cameron directed Piranha 2! Well, roughly 75% of it, anyway, before reportedly being fired after clashing with the production.

😂 Why Piranha 2 is one of those movies that's almost impossible not to have fun with

It's ridiculous, it's entertaining, and it's a fascinating early chapter in the career of one of Hollywood's biggest filmmakers.
