In case the above clip isn't self-explanatory, Greenwood is an evil scientist, who created the ultimate cyborg killing machine, which then developed an unfortunate conscience. And the flannel-shirted woman, Deputy Reardon, is Isaac the Cyborg's best friend — they share many heart-warming scenes where Isaac is sort of autistic. The woman to whose head Deputy Reardon is holding a gun is another evil scientist, who's been having second thoughts and Knows Too Much. Oh, and I love the clanging noise the fire extinguisher makes as it slams into Isaac's head. Someone had fun with that one.

Mostly, though, Cyborg Soldier is worth watching for Greenwood's incredibly brie-tastic performance as Simon, the movie's main villain. Greenwood relishes saying lines like, "I'm going to fry your brain until there's only enough to spoon into a testtube. Then I'm going to scrape up the DNA and the tissue samples, and I'm gonna build you again."

Talking to Cinemablend, Greenwood said he thought it would be fun to be in a campy movie and chew some scenery. Asked why the cyborg soldier in the film looks just like a regular human, Greenwood says, "Anybody with any sense would realize that this cyborg looks a lot like a human because it's a low-budget movie." Ha. I feel like I've read a ton of interviews lately where actors in cheesy TV shows and B-movies try to pretend they were making fantastic art, so it's sort of refreshing.

Greenwood plays the head of an agency that creates a killer cyborg, played by professional fighter Rich Franklin. The cyborg escapes and tries to find out who he really is. Greenwood says he had fun making this movie because it had zero levels:

You don't take it nearly as seriously. You try and make it interesting, and because the situations are so absurd, you can't lose too much sleep about being believable. [...] This kind of movie, you're shooting seven or eight scenes a day. The general vibe of the set, although it's high energy and good, it's "mush ahead." You don't get to sit around for 20 minutes like you can on Capote and discuss what the two and three subtextual levels are.
