Vielleicht schon bekannt, aber irgendwo in den Untiefen ist ein Rohschnitt aufgetaucht, der das wiedergibt, was Pyun ursprünglich im Sinn hatte. Der Final Cut des Films lag ja bei den Produzenten, die den Film umschnitten, entschärften und den Score austauschten.
Diesen DC bekommt man bei Pyun persönlich, allerdings nur im Bundle mit einem anderen Film.
An interesting discovery has been made that will probably interest hard core PA fans out there. Albert Pyun's longtime composer found the director's last cut of Cyborg before he left the picture after disputes with Cannon, Jean Claude Van Damme and producer Sheldon Lettichand. We're being told it's it's the cut before it had to be cut to get an R rating.
The copy found is a telecine of the actual workprint in widescreen dated October 8, 1998. It's only got a temp mix stereo track, but includes the original, never heard rock score by Tony Riparetti and Jim Saad which was eventually replaced by Kevin Bassinson's score.
WE talked to Pyun about it and he said: "What's cool about this is I think my editors at the time must have quietly had this made once they learned the film was gong to be taken over by JCVD. So its really a peek into the creative dispute between myself and Cannon/Van Damme and Van Damme's producer Sheldon Lettich.
Hopefully when viewed in comparison, it becomes evident where I was trying to go with a post apocalypse genre movie and why it was not well received by Cannon and JCVD. Its much darker than the released version."
Pyun is making DVD's and they start shipping Monday worldwide. I think for any movie fan, this is an opportunity considering no one's really seen this version.

Die Quali wird grenzwertig sein, da der Film von zwei Videoquellen zusammen montiert wurde. Aber interessant ist es sicherlich.
