Nemesis (film)

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.
