Cyborg (1992) thrusts audiences into a post-apocalyptic future where a ruthless warlord threatens humanity's survival. Enter Gibson Rickenbacker, a badass mercenary who embarks on a perilous journey to escort a cyborg with crucial information to safety. Packed with relentless action and dystopian grit, the film gained a cult following among fans of '90s sci-fi action. Despite mixed critical reviews upon release, its iconic status endures, cherished by fans for its gritty atmosphere, martial arts-infused combat, and Jean-Claude Van Damme's charismatic performance as Rickenbacker. Cyborg remains a beloved relic of '90s action cinema, celebrated by fans for its unapologetic, high-octane thrills.


This factory sealed 1992 MGM/UA copy of Cyborg is the second release of the film, after the original 1989 Cannon release. It comes to us as part of The Motor City Collection, CGC Home Video's first Pedigree. The Motor City Collection is especially remarkable due to the fact that original purchaser would typically write the date that the item was purchased on the price tag, sometimes along with the store name or the street that the store was located on. Based on the handwritten notes on the price tag, this tape was originally purchased on 11-30-92 at a Target in Michigan. It has received a grade of 9.4 by CGC, with a perfect Seal grade of A++.

The Motor City Collection is CGC Home Video's first VHS pedigree. The gentleman who originally assembled this unbelievable collection had purchased items as far back as the 1970s beginning with vinyl records. He would typically go out of his way to write the date of purchase on the price tags, as well as other identifiable info like a city, street, or store name. His collection was unknown to even his family until his passing. The majority of the items he'd purchased remained unopened in their original factory shrink wrap.
