Nerd/stud supergenius Jeffery Combs creates a motorcycle with all kinds of
weapons on it: lasers, rockets...well, that's about it. Also, despite the
fact that it can deploy a parachute, it's not as fast as you would think, since
it could barely even outrun an ancient station wagon! What it
does have though is an almost endless supply of energy thanks to a gadget
that's about the size of a smartphone and can somehow extract hydrogen out of
the air and convert it into energy. Naturally, the bad guys want this
energy supply and will stop at nothing (outside of hiring non-idiots) to get
it. So pretty much the entire film is just these morons making lame
attempts at getting the power source...night club attack, car chase, kidnapping,
torture and another car chase. Boring.
Made with what looks to be the budget of an episode of "Knight Rider" or even
"Street Hawk", CYCLONE is pretty lame. The action scenes aren't even 80's
television quality, the dialogue is stiff, top-billed Heather Thomas never even
gets close to naked, Martin Landau slumming, silly story with a dumb as hell
ending, cheap looking sets, an ear-destroyingly bad "punk" band and Jeffery
Combs as a serious actor...hahaha, well alright
that was pretty funny and
the high point of the film.
Worth a watch for fans of lower end action films.
