And the Direct-to-DVD Oscar goes to …
September 25, 2008 at 5:48 am by Jason Hatcher in News, VideoWell, only in Rich Franklin’s dreams. But hey, it’s a start. And at least Franklin made some extra money. So without further ado, ladies and gentlemen meet the “Cyborg Soldier.” A cybernetic humanoid who really knows how to fight in real life and can also challenge Randy Couture to a B-Movie brawl.
The official Movie Description
“I.S.A.A.C. (Intuitive Synthetic Autonomous Assault Commando), played by former UFC Middleweight Champion Rich Franklin, is the first prototype of a confidential “human weapon” program. Once a death-row inmate, he is now a genetically reconstructed, highly trained, deadly assassin whose body and mind have been modified to become a physically regenerative, intellectually superior human being. On the run, I.S.A.A.C. takes Deputy Lindsay Rearden (Tiffani Thiessen; “Beverly Hills, 90210″) hostage. Their lives in jeopardy from secret military agents being lead by world-renowned robotic engineer Simon Hart (Bruce Greenwood; I, Robot; National Treasure: Book of Secrets), the deputy and I.S.A.A.C. combine forces to expose the military group constructing these super beings. “
Cyborg Soldier is currently available for pre-order on DVD. The official release date is October 7, 2008. Oh, and we thought there was something a bit familiar about a martial artist starring in a movie with a cyborg theme.

My curious nature might drag me to Blockbuster to rent this on a very lonely Friday night.
