Watching this now and I have to say it has a rather nice PQ.

It's the score.

It's atrocious.

Set synthesizers to Demo Mode and call it a day.

It's also omnipresent, or at least seems that way.

I never vibed with the score either. It's a letdown after his work for Police Story 1.

I'm a dirty JCVD fanboy but never loved Cyborg. Re-watching it last night I finally realized why. Its that awful, awful score. And its constant.

BladeRunner2007 · 08-20-2021, 02:06 PM

Cyborg's score is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

Sky_Captain · 08-20-2021, 11:31 PM

Amazingly shit.

It’s classic-era Van Damme, but if you come in expecting Bloodsport or Kick-boxer you’ll be disappointed. Other than that, it’s far from his worst.

It's more shit than polarising.

So is this the old MGM scan or the new Shout scan?

My first time owning this, never saw Shout release. I think this one is very good looking.

What like No Time to Die! I remember you saying how amazing that was and it wasn’t.

That is Zimmer's (or one of his ghost writers) best work in 20 years.

Oh I completely agree. I love the music for that. Sorry I was referring to the film in general.

So which release has the best PQ?

A Tortured Duckling · 05-19-2022, 02:18 AM

Does the version that was released in November of last year come with a slipcover? And if so, is it exactly the same as the previous version's slipcover, aside from the number?
