Nemesis (film)

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Jared: All right, Alex. Now this is gonna...
Alex: Sting a little? I know.
Jared: No, actually it's gonna hurt like a motherfucker.

Hilariously cheesy Cyberpunk movie from 1992 by Albert "Cyborg" Pyun, starring Olivier "Poor Man's Van Damme" Gruner as a Cyborg ex-LAPD officer.

It was followed by three sequels that take place several decades after the the events of the first film.


Tropes used in Nemesis (film) include:

Narrator: It always scared him that they might take out his soul... and replace it with some matrix chip.

  • Eye Scream: Alex's cybernetic eye being extracted from its socket.
  • Gender Blender Name: And how!
    • Alex (male)
    • Jared (female)
    • Angie (male)
    • Max Impact (female)
    • Germaine (male)
    • Michelle (male)
  • Made of Explodium: The entire world. No matter what weapon is used and what's being hit, the result is a fiery explosion or at the very least massive sparks.
  • Never Mess with Granny: A little old lady is harassed by one of the cyborg assassins searching for the protagonist. When he walks away, she pulls out a large pistol out of her purse and shoots him in the back several times, and then shoots him half a dozen times more when he's down for good measure.

Old woman: Fucking cyborgs. Streets aren't safe anymore. Can't even go to the market without meeting some punk...

Narrator: It took them six months to put him back together. Synthetic flesh, bioengineered organs.
