Cyborg (1989), directed by Albert Pyun, 88 Films remaster, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including original theatrical stereo, two commentary tracks, and English SDH subtitles.

IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097138/

Video encoded in two-pass 11.5 Mbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image. Audio encoded separately with Apple AAC for the highest-quality AAC sound available. Subtitles converted to VobSub and repositioned.

Note : Let's check back with our old friend Albert Pyun, it seems like he's gotten into cyborgs and martial arts now, a fixation he'd hold on to for the rest of his career. He's also got Jean-Claude van Damme, which certainly helps any low-budget film hoping to elevate itself above the rest, although at least as much credit has to go to Vincent Klyn, who's just a madman of a villain here, with intensity so suicidal it would make Christian Bale uncomfortable. Oh, and did I mention it's a postapocalyptic action thriller where the characters are named Gibson Rickenbacker and Fender Tremolo, and the hero actually gets crucified and left for dead, but comes back? This is not a self-aware film. It's pretty fun, though, with big acting, pretty nice cinematography (lots of colored lighting and smoke), and every last dollar of the limited budget up on the screen.

After a plague wipes out most of humanity, the remains of the CDC in Atlanta work on a cure, but they need information stored on a computer in New York City. Pearl Prophet (lol) volunteers to go get it, and gets turned into a cyborg for some reason. She gets the information, but she's ambushed by Fender Tremolo and his gang, who want the cure so they can sell it. Her bodyguard is killed, and she has to turn to a mercenary for protection, so enter Gibson Rickenbacker, but he fucks up immediately, and Pearl is taken. Gibson, however, has his own reasons for going after Fender, and he tracks the gang as they travel by boat down the coast, and also teams up with Nady Simmons, a young woman who likes to get naked a lot, and whose family was killed by the gang. Several fights ensue, until the whole cast ends up in Atlanta for a final showdown, which goes on a very long time in the rain.

This is a very good remaster, nice controlled grain, good color and contrast, pretty clean, all in all nothing to complain about. Stereo track sounds good too, and the director's commentary track, as usual with Pyun, is eccentric and worth listening to, while the other one takes a more objective approach.
