A police officer almost dies in the course of duty, but is converted into a cyborg.

When it came out I was given the impression that it would be bad, especially compared to the original, but it was fair. Not good, but fair.



  • 0:45 -- Oh my god, starting off with a vocal warm up is so lame.
  • 2:30 -- Peacekeeping
  • 3:00 -- "May peace be upon you" is a reference to peace be upon him, an Islamist phrase.
  • 4:00 -- Pacification

  • 4:15 --

  • 5:00 -- Explosive belts

  • 6:45 -- He's bringing a knife to a suicide attack.

  • 8:15 -- Drone

  • 11:30 -- The tone of these guys' voices is so forced and fake.
  • 14:00 -- Why shout, at least like that?
  • 14:30 -- IAD
  • 15:30 -- Here's the better argument: Do they feel? Yes, they feel. They feel through their maintainers, through their assemblers, and through their inventor; me. We, the humans who create and control them, feel, and that's why they are reliable.
  • 17:15 -- No, it turns out that you're not you because of you're brain, because there are plenty of influences on it throughout the body. Still, this is a perfectly understandable materialist view in line with that character.
  • 24:00 -- Car alarm
  • 24:45 -- Car bomb
  • 25:00 -- Burn
  • 33:15 -- The very first thing they should have done before reconnecting him is bring his wife..

  • 35:15 -- They knew this would be an existential crisis for the man. Why wouldn't there be a psychologist (and probably a philosopher) on hand?

    • Do also note that it was only men who were considered.
  • 36:15 -- So did they replace his eye?
  • 40:30 -- He offered and retracting his left for from the handshake.
  • 41:00 -- The music is associated to music in The Wizard of Oz - (1939 movie), which is associating him to the Tin Man of that movie.
  • 42:15 -- The difference is he told the captor to let the kid go. That's exactly what the public wants.
  • 45:00 -- Neurosurgery
  • 48:00 -- Yes, yes he can be hurt by live rounds. Doesn't he still have a face, a brain, and one good eye to shoot through?

  • 48:45 -- Why would anyone but the full-human miss?

    • 49:15 -- Oh.
  • 52:00 -- If the guy was still a threat, then wouldn't the visor still be down?
  • 57:00 -- "At least I know you're the right color now" is a racist reference to being black.
  • 57:30 -- Detroit - United States
  • 58:00 -- I can understand access, but not an offline database and archives.
  • 1:00:30 -- How is he getting a camera angle like that?
  • 1:09:45 -- I just realised he's likely vulnerable to gas and other airborne things.
  • 1:15:00 -- He was driving recklessly, and if it was in pursuit then he didn't have sirens and lights going.
  • 1:20:00 -- Unnecessary blackout-shootout.
  • 1:27:00 -- Police corruption

  • 1:30:00 -- What's bigger than a hero? A legend. Make him history.

    • 1:30:15 -- Yes.
  • 1:39:30 -- It would have been cooler if he knocked one with his bike, it had a stray shot hit another and then that one engaged the other as a threat. Then they trade treat targetting and shoot one another for a while before a greater engagement begins.
  • 1:45:15 -- What the hell.. they got the catchphrase backwards. It's a reference to the other guy being brought in dead or alive. That's what the damned expression means..

  • 1:46:00 -- Maybe he could have shot the gun out of his hand.

    • Also, this whole red asset thing could have been set up a long time ago. That was just bad writing.
  • 1:48:45 -- Why was there a sound when Alex was turning his head?
