Paul Magne Haakonsen I had expected this to be low budget, sure, but I was nowhere prepared for the atrocity that this movie turned out to be. The movie was made in 2011, but it had a very 1980s touch to it, with special effects from the 1970s. It was such an abominable eyesore to witness.This movie is hopefully a spoof on other low budget movies, because it like like one big massive farce. If it wasn't, then I don't even know where to start.The story in this movie was as to be expected. Earth is at war with Hell. Yes! Hell! And Earth is losing. A soldier is brought back to life as a cyborg in the future to help mankind battle the forces of Hell.The effects were so horribly bad that you constantly sit there laughing and shaking your head in disbelief. Oddly enough, the level of badness just keeps you wanting to see more. I stuck with this movie to the end just to see how much more worse things could be. I think around 90% of the movie was filmed in front of a green screen.The characters in the movie were just as bad as the effects. They looked like a mixture of pre-Mortal Kombat and a rockshow gone bad. The manborg looked like something dished up in an arts and crafts class. #1 man was a poor Liu Kang clone, and his awful dubbed speech was equally bad. The Justice character looked like Billy Idol after having lost his fame and fortune. However, what the movie had working for it was the Nazi-like demonic creatures. There were some pretty good make-up and designs here.As for the dialogue, well lets just say it matched the rest of the movie. Enough said.It should be said that everything is just so bad on every level, that the movie is actually worth sticking around for to the very end. There are worse movies available, but "Manborg" does a great job at trying to get to the top ten list of worst movies ever.

tetriss-me manborg, manborg, manborg!!! Where do you start...LOVE KUNG FU, GAMING, WEIRDNESS, B MOVIES !!!This film WILL BE a true classic and a film that will be reviewed with many many different lenses as you can see already reviews are mixed - you probably would't know whether to hunt this down or not. Lets say if you get past the first 10 minutes you are curious and starting to figure out if this is worth watching. You will be smiling to yourself and reminding yourself that you are feeling quite happy and do not know why! As you watch you are getting spaced out and are actually enjoying this mess of movie. You will not know why you are watching, what you are watching but it doesn't matter anymore. This is like the old days where films surprised you, llke the early manga titles etc. People will tell you it is blah blah blah...I will tell you to get out the popcorn - watch it late (please remember this is not a rom-com!!) get seriously comfortable and you will be transported into mortal combat itself. Not the modern 64bit version but the old megadrive one!Personally it is so painfully charming i loved every minute!!!!!!

willgrant952 Manborg threw me for a loop. I had no idea what I was in store for. But the awesome cover art made me buy it right away. For a low budget film, it's pretty funny and well put together. Those guys at Astron 6 really know what they're doing. My only problem with it was at times it felt forced. Had they played the entire film straight I may have enjoyed it more. It also lagged a bit in the middle. The stop motion and synth score were is excellent, and that was my favorite part about this movie. The green screen fx look pretty bad, but it kinda adds to the charm. As someone who grew up with id CHS movies as a kid, I could tell were their influences came from.A fun film to each with some buddies at a party for sure (Double feature with Miami Connection?). Overall a good watch for sure.

zetes Ridiculous, homemade B movie that's actually quite fun. The plot is pretty negligible, a mishmash of Robocop, Mortal Kombat, Star Wars, Army of Darkness and various other influences. Matthew Kennedy plays the title character, a former soldier who fought in the war against the minions of Hell. After he was nearly killed and left for dead, a scientist turned him into a cyborg. He awakes in the future, where the minions of Hell have taken over, and joins with a group of prisoners (Meredith Sweeney, Conor Sweeney and Ludwig Lee) to take back the world. Most of the film is shot in front of a green screen, with animated backgrounds playing behind them, similar to Sin City and Sky Captain. It has a cheap but fun aesthetic. Most wannabe cult movies attempt to be funny, but fail miserably. This one is actually pretty funny. In particular, I loved Ludwig Lee's dubbed tough-man voice, which parodies dubbed kung fu movies. This certainly isn't great, but it's clever and smart enough not to overstay its welcome (it runs just over an hour). It was also nice to see some real stop-motion animation the week that Ray Harryhausen passed (even though, yeah, it was pretty crappy). I'd love to see Steven Kostanski get a decent handful of money (I have no idea how much this cost, but I'd imagine very little) to make a real movie.
