Watch Manborg For Free

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The best thing about Manborg is the Karate guy. His English dubbing is f*****g funny as hell. As for the rest of the movie, it's an excellent homage/parody of 80s sci fi action movies. I actually like its tone and special effects even if it is silly as $#!+. On a further note, I think this movie is influenced by another sci fi action movie called The Eliminators. If this was already explained in the DVD and is common knowledge among Manborg fans then excuse me for being retarded, ass.

Knocked unconscious in battle, a young soldier wakes up to discover that he has been turned into a cyborg capable of fighting the (literal) demons of hell in this affectionate homage to the sci-fi themed action movies of the 1980s. The film owes a particular debt to 'RoboCop', but the movie brings a lot of humour of its own beyond spoofing the likes of 'The Terminator' with a particularly funny running gag involving a lovesick baddie with artificial eyes. Creative as 'Manborg' is, it is certainly not a film for all tastes. The deliberately shoddy green screen special effects take time to get used too; same goes for the intentionally over-the-top dubbing of an Asian man and the stop motion monster effects. It is really quite a magnificent achievement though when one considers its parodying of 80s cheese; the film even opens like a VHS tape and has a comical copyright warning at the end that is worth sitting through. There is even an awesome trailer for the most over-the-top cop film ever after the end credits roll. None of this ingenuity can quite make up for the loose character development and thin plotting of the actual film, but this is not the type of movie that one really watches for something deep and meaningful. It is a fun tribute to the films of yesterday and a surprisingly thrilling one at that with some well crafted action sequences when one gets over the cheesy special effects.

this is epic, its everything in the VHS /early 90s era of film and displayed brilliantly, this film is inspirational!. the characters are constructed very well,the Asian character(number one man) dubbed and dressed like lui kang!, the cocky character straight out of the lost boys and the beautiful Minna.. a bad ass.! the dialog is phenomenal and is guaranteed to make you laugh over and over,the baron steels the show! the visuals are brilliant ranging from well executed green screen and some sort of stop motion.. think of ed 209 from robocop,this is how most of the unearthly characters move and to great effect..manborg himself is epic,his scene with doctor Scorpius is my favorite of the movie.please watch with a light heart and enjoy and appreciate just what the makers have achieved

But in my view, that is a good thing. I am glad I read a little about it on IMDb before watching it or I may have turned it off. "Manborg" runs of the philosophy that if you create something and try your best to make it as bad as possible, you will end up with something really great. And kudos to the cast and crew of this film, because they succeeded. I can't really tell you what this movie is about. Does it have a plot? Yup. Is it a clear plot? Yup. Does it matter? Not in the least bit.The reason "Manborg" worked for me was because it reminded me of a couple of films that me, my sister and my best friend used to make each Halloween. They were horror/comedy anthologies much like the Simpson's Treehouse of Horror episodes. We made them badly and we made them badly deliberately. This appears to be what the producers of "Manborg" went about doing. There are two kinds of bad movies. The first is the kind that nobody likes. It is the result of an attempt to make a good movie that fails miserably. The second is the movie that was meant to be bad. The people who make these movies love bad movies and their appreciation of it keeps us going. It is quite clear that the producers of "Manborg" appreciate cheesy and bad cinema. This is one of those rare finds which I know I will be watching over and over. Don't watch it if you are looking for...well....hmmm... well pretty much anything actually. But if you want to see a movie and spend the entire time absolutely baffled at how anyone could make such a horrid piece of cinema, watch "Manborg" and have an absolutely fun time.
