Movie Talk - The Nemesis Movies

So, I got bored one night. Since we’re still in pandemic mode, that’s something that happens a lot. I started to peruse Amazon Prime and came across some sci-fi movies from the 60’s to today. One series I saw that piqued my interest was the Nemesis movies. I vaguely remember seeing the covers to the movies at the video store back in the day, and I guess I was kinda interested. I couldn’t get them since they were rated R. At least the covers looked cool. So, what did I do this week for some unholy reason? Watch these crappy movies.

The series looks like its cyberpunk but sticks to it about as well as Shaq scoring from the 3-point line. The movies are like hybrids of The Terminator, Robocop, Tarzan, Rambo, Beach Biker Babes, and that Van Damme movie, Cyborg. They were all directed by Alex Pyun, the director of Cyborg, the 90’s Captain America movie, and a lot of low-budget movies. We start out with Nemesis in 1992. We then get Nemesis 2: Nebula released in 1995.  Nemesis 3: Prey Harder (What the Frack) and  Nemesis: Death Angel (or Cry of Angels) were released in 1996. 21 years later, Nemesis 5: The New Model was released. Yeah, Pyun had to crank one more out, didn’t he?
