Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

There are hundreds of lazy low-budget cyberpunk movies that flooded the (direct-to-video) market in the 80s and 90s. Stuff like Crime Zone, Nemesis, or Omega Doom. So what cyberpunk movies can you admit are objectively bad yet still hold a place in your heart?
I highly recommend you check out the extended cut if you haven't seen it already. If nothing else, it's worth it just for the Iggy & Spike rap.
Hold up, there's an extended cut, and there's a Iggy & Spike rap and I'm just finding out about this now? Thank you kind stranger.
Happy to help! It's on https://archive.org if you're interested in checking it out. Go search their movie database for "Super Mario Bros: The Morton Jankel Cut".
Oh man, finally got around to watching it thanks to your recommendation and I was thoroughly entertained. Had a big dumb grin on my face through most of it. Thanks for that!
