Billy: [comes out with a shotgun in hand and is startled to see Digital Man messing with his satellite dish] What the hell are you doing?!
Digital Man: [identifies Billy as a civilian and goes to "civilian mode"] I must use this uplink to transmit launch code data, with your assistance. Your connection will be temporarily cut off for this process. Thank you. Have a nice day.
Billy: [puzzled] Huh? I ain't assisting you with nothing, ya' crazy bastard, now get ya' damn hands off my satellite dish.
Digital Man: I must transmit launch codes. I will use force to complete my mission. Please, withdraw your weapon.
Billy: Withdraw? I say "kiss my ass, you son of a bitch"!
[fires a shot at Digital Man, which bounces off of his armor]

Featured review
Derivative mishmash
This is pretty horrible but there aren't many reviews and I'll add a brief summary.
There are some good things: the acting is surprisingly OK across the board from Ed Lauter and a bunch of people I've never heard of. A bit OTT at times and Ken Olandt (who?) is definitely a cut of wood below the rest. The main cyborg (Matthias Hues) does his deadpan job really well. The comedy relief is ridiculous (but then so is the whole film) and Swayze and Masterson are quite funny. The director keeps the action going - at least you don't have to wait around for the next bit of nonsense to happen.
What's bad. The FX, even for the '90s are awful - some reviewer who says they're great has to be a fake. The story makes no sense. OK, soldiers are hunting a cyborg, something to do with missile launch codes, not sure what, while other soldiers (mainly Lauter) are killing each other - no idea really. There's some big deal about some soldiers being cyborgs too, again no idea why. The action keeps going but it's stupid, stupid, stupid at all times. The cyborg wanders about, apparently at random - arriving for a fight whenever the director wants one, then wandering off again. When a soldier dies (s)he does so by walking straight at the cyborg, firing something ineffective (when all they seem to have to do to survive is run away). The soldiers carry huge guns they can barely lift (think Aliens), blast away with them non-stop and never manage to hit the cyborg standing motionless in front of them (which it does a lot of). When they run out of ammo and start with a pistol, every shot hits but has no effect. These shots are always aimed at the armour, never at the unprotected head. Great that the squad has two racial minorities, two women and only one white guy. But guess who's in charge? The ending is totally lame.
