Van Damme’s Mad Max Clone? Watch This!
Similar to how the post-apocalyptic world of Mad Max is characterized by a collapsed human civilization, the setting of Cyborg is dominated by a lethal virus that has almost entirely wiped out humanity, with the exception of ruthless mercenary pirates. Unlike Max Rockatansky who depends on his vehicles for power against adversaries, Gibson Rickenbacker solely relies on his physical abilities, particularly his exceptional hand-to-hand combat skills. In this sense, the martial arts expertise of ‘the Muscles from Brussels’ serves as a valuable asset to the cyberpunk action subgenre.
