Definitely one I missed from 1966. I was 23 yrs. old at that time and now pushing 80. Worth the watch, brought back some laughable memories, and great actors of the past, not to mention an excellent fight at the end between the 2 cyborgs.
I liked scene with the teenagers dancing in the living room! this movie was the type they showed at the Saturday Matinee. I wasn't born for another few years! Now, I'm approaching middle age. How did that happen?
I was 3 years old and Star Trek was my favorite show on TV. I'm surprised I've never seen this movie, since I've been addicted to Sci Fi for so long. Anyway... Wishing you an early Happy 80th Birthday!🙋🏽♀️😊❤
I'm a huge fan of the Terminator movies, but James Cameron sure did cash-in on a bunch of other sci-fi, when he wrote The Terminator and even parts of Terminator 2. Here's my list, so far: "In his image" - Episode of the original B&W series of The Twilight Zone. "Demon with a Glass Hand" -1964 Episode of The Outer Limits. "Soldier" -1964 Episode of The Outer Limits. "The War Machine" story from the 1966 series of Doctor Who. This movie (Cyborg 2087) and "Colossus: The Forbin Project" from 1970. It's the exact story of Sknet's creation.
@@nunyabitness9201 Well it was the reverse for me. When I first saw the Terminator I thought of this movie first. I first seen it (waaay before I'd watch The Terminator) when I was a kid, but couldn't remember the Name of this movie, for a long long time. Think Cameron was largely inspired by this movie.
And Jo Ann Pflug , she was famous for "Laugh-In" , "Mash" , "MatchGame" and she was also the voice of Sue Richards ( The Invisible girl ) on the Hanna Barbera cartoon classic "The Fantastic Four" 👍

That "when I go back into the future, erasing the future I come from hence to coming to the past so everything will reset itself" things makes this movie - no matter how cheap the effects were - quite good.
Genealogy on-screen: 1964 Outer Limits Episode, "Soldier" written by Harlan Ellison plus bits of the Outer Limits episode The Man Who Was Never Born. Then this. Then "The Terminator". 100%.
Just looked this up on Wikipedia. First words of the plot are 'It's 2087, free thought is illegal and the population is controlled by governments." That's 2024, not 2087.
Those were the days. Pure, innocent, real sci-fi. It's not about the special effects, it's about the truth and science was once the pursuit of truth. Strangely parallels the time we live in today - especially those who attempt to police our thoughts.
Right and you didn't have to take off your shirt and all the sudden your star know most of these actors were theater trained so when they acted they acted based upon their theater experience
Comparing with movies from 2022 it is an old movie. But a very good one. Pretty good and well done. I just love that movie that takes me back to the 60' ies.
Who would have thought this would be a foretelling of the actual future. Michael Rennie was such a great actor. What a wonderful movie. They don't make them like this anymore.
Radio & television waves were already control devices. Sci-fi just disguised the matrix. Now 5 - 6 G & other radio waves are overwhelming & everywhere, a huge matrix over the planet more vast than back in the 50s & 60s space programs needless to say. We carry receivers & smart devices in our homes & cars & in buildings & streetlights & everywhere constantly sending signals. People have devices implanted as well. We really don't think about HOW integrated we are with these unseen control devices do we? People are so addicted to them they literally can't function without them anymore. I mean they COULD- but they'd be a pool of melting snowflakes screeching first & likely dangerously desperate too if their controllers turned the internet off. You listen to what the Cyborg said about being people's dehumanized in the future - that's going on right now too. Every time you hear a leftist politican talk it's about worshipping dirt & abortion being top priority. People eating crickets. Not being individuals but rather a collective like clones. "For the greater good". They're lowing quality of life while they themselves live like kings behind gilded gates & security never giving up what they take from us. Always guilting the common man for what the worst of the dictators did in the past in other countries of different races. It's quite incredible how they're erasing & rewriting history. Tearing down historical statues so we're doomed to repeat it. All the while expanding control, making themselves richer by stealing from the taxpayers using a war we aren't part of to funnel BILLIONS to themselves each week while telling us we cannot afford to secure out own borders because it's racist & we deserve to have 5 million illegals leeching off our taxpayers who are going more broke each day under this communist corrupt government. But as long as they have a fascist hold over the airwaves which they do right now with this government combined with FB, Google, YT & most of the MSM you're only going to get what they want you to hear, the beam they want you to get, the algorithm they feed you. Tik Tok is controlled 100% by the communist Chinese Party. You see what they want you to see. And yes, they want this country to fall. So does this administration - to the WEF UN ONE WORLD ORDER GOVERNMENT. And it all helps their goals when people are mentally & physically affected by the matrix they live in. Radiotelepathy.
I love sci fi & movies of the future. This was my 1st time seeing. Ive seen the day the earth stood still before. Been awhile so gonna search & watch that next. This was an old movie 1966 I was 6 .What caught my eye of this movie was the year 2087. My twins were born 1987 so I thought I'd watch & glad I did. Thanks!!! 😊❤🙏✌
And Secretary Simmons at 1:20:27 was played by Byron Morrow, the Admiral in "For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky." Of course Warren Stevens (Dr. Zellar) portrayed the Kelvin Rojan in "By Any Other Name."
Fun fact; This was one of nine films financed by a Canadian oil company looking to diversify into television. They were made for direct-to-TV showing though some got theatrical releases. This was back in the heyday of independent TV stations.
"Every development of the future is the result of today's actions." The dialog of yesteryear's golden age of science fiction had such succinct way of putting things to think about. Which is why I like it.
I last saw this movie over 50 years ago. But I remember it well. It’s nice to see that Rojan made it in all the way from Andromeda to help us out. And Eve looks stunning even without the Venus drug.
MICHEAL RENNIE has been my favorite actor since he STARED IN " THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL" this is just another RENNIE film I didn't know of until now, ITS NOTHING SHORT OF A GEM!!!
Helmed by director Franklin Adreon, this gem has all the cheese of his 1950s Republic Studios cliffhangers. Any minute, you expect Rennie to don a rocket pack and pull a Commando Cody. Goofy props, classic stock music...there's a lot to like here! Thanks for posting.
@@derrenlodge6502 Micheal Rennie also co-starred in one of the best first-season episodes of Lost In Space: 'The Keeper'. Great and highly dignified actor...😉👍
The background music, used here, is the exact same background music from the original "Night of the Living Dead". This film is from 1966.....".....Dead" is from 1968. So, clearly, the music was hijacked from Cyborg and then used in "Dead"
It came from the highly rated The Outer Limits episode “Demon with a Glass Hand”, which aired a few years before this movie. James Cameron even admitted to this and settled a lawsuit with the writer of that story, Harlan Ellison, by paying him a sizable amount.
"Attention, all time travelers: Upon leaving your time travel capsule, make sure to close the door behind you. That way, you can prevent wildlife, house pets, children, youth, thieves, and so forth entering the capsule, activating it, and leaving you stranded in the year 1966 or wherever."
I've been working my way down the list of Greatest Movies Of All Time, starting with Citizen Kane, Gone with the Wind, The Godfather, etc. I'm sure I'll be watching this one soon. Those silver boots!
I don't know if I would classify this as just another "low budget" sci-fi movie. There are some well known names & faces...probably more known faces than names. For instance, at 30:20...and earlier too, the man, Wendell Corey and the assistant, Karen Steele, were in a couple of separate episodes of the original Star Trek. Wendell Corey was in a lot of other movies and T.V. shows. Michael Rennie became famous in the great movie The Day The Earth Stood Still, where he played the character of Klaatu. The Sheriff played in a lot of Westerns. The Professor was another well known face, and the reporter was Harey Carey, Jr. who played in a lot of Westerns. I think that these professional actors ( that name includes female actors too), brought a lot of believability and quality acting to this movie.
A great cast for early Sci Fi fans like myself from The Earth Stood still , Sci Fi Theatre , Forbidden Planet , Twilight Zone , to Star Trek . Thanks to the poster of the movie .
It is very well produced with great actors , with only a budget of $100,000 , about $900,000 today . Made for TV but went into theatrical lease . They could not produce the same today for under a million , even with all the computor special effects .
@@payneb52 I cannot remember if I have seen Bride of the Gorilla. With a name like that, I would think I would have remembered it...LOL. And with Raymond Burr in this horror movie, it will certainly be different. I'll see if I can find it....thanks.
I love the dial for the year, those little strips with sticky backs you could print on, I was 6 that year and I remember those handheld printer tapes, for a while I labeled everything I could.lol
Go to the past to eliminate the need to go to the past so you don't go to the past which creates the need to....and so the loop never ends! Good movie to start the winter movie season with.
I don't know if Cameron ever said he was inspired by this film for his Terminetor but certainly the points in common are such as to exclude coincidences. Furthermore, in the last movie of the Terminator series: Dark Fate, the woman who comes from the future to save the world once again is equally a Cyborg.
Everyone thinking this a cheap b movie might be right, but clearly this is the prototype film...the genesis for the Terminator films. Those cyborg wrist pistons on cyborg Michael Rennie...those are in the Cameron films.That is the arm piece of the t 1000. Going back in time to alter history...this clearly is the film that spawned the trilogy and deserves recognition for it. Just as Charlton Heston playing a south American grave robbing archeologist influenced Spielberg as the basis of India Joans...this film inspired the Terminator series.
Wow! I forgot how great-looking Jo-Anne Pflug was!...Several other actors were familiar to me, mostly throughTV shows. Rennie was handsome, but in an almost other-worldly way. He died in his early 60s, from a bad heart...I think he never had much chance to pursue a serious acting career, after his perfect visage as Klaatu....His last few films were made in England.
WOW, this makes your typical Star Trek episode of the late 60s look like a big budget extravaganza. Still, I always say that good writing and good/great acting can elevate even the cheesiest movies.
The late, great Michael Rennie was awesome in this 1966 science fiction movie, also, actresses Jo Ann Pflug and Karen Steele are gorgeous in this movie too!!
I remember Michael Rennie in an episode of “Lost in Space” which was on the air around the time this movie was made. I was only ten years old! The threats of communism and totalitarian regimes were common themes in the sci-fi of the day. It is no coincidence in the story that the scientist who invented the technology for telepathic mind control would happen to be named Dr. Marx! That teenage dance scene, by the way, was hilarious!
Jo Ann Pflug of M.A.S.H. fame is in it. Probably a brief appearance .According to IMDB, she plays "woman in control booth". She is in the opening scene of the movie. She has a line of dialog which is unfortunately clipped until the sound-track starts.
Anyone else notice the tall blond boy dancer at the doctors house, whose name was Skinny, was wearing skinny jeans? And these hipsters today think they’re setting a new trend. LOL This movie is still setting fashion trends almost sixty years later.
Michael Rennie is always great. I saw him when I was a child in the 1950s when he starred in 'The day the earth stood still'. I have always liked him.
He was great in that!
He made that movie the classic it is today
Also, he played in The Keeper episodes on Lost In Space.
Definitely one I missed from 1966. I was 23 yrs. old at that time and now pushing 80.
Worth the watch, brought back some laughable memories, and great actors of the past,
not to mention an excellent fight at the end between the 2 cyborgs.
Thank you. Dimension 5 is coming out soon. It's a sort of twin movie. You can't miss it!
I liked scene with the teenagers dancing in the living room! this movie was the type they showed at the Saturday Matinee. I wasn't born for another few years! Now, I'm approaching middle age. How did that happen?

Holy terminator! Cyborgs going back in time to change the future. James Cameron definitely saw this movie growing up.
He saw “Demon with a Glass Hand”, a highly rated episode of “The Outer Limits” from a few years earlier than this movie.

Michael Rennie never seems to age. He appears the same as he did in his classic sci-fi film, The Day The Earth Stood Still.

The Sheriff played in a lot of Westerns. The Professor was another well known face, and the reporter was Harey Carey, Jr. who played in a lot of Westerns. I think that these professional actors ( that name includes female actors too), brought a lot of believability and quality acting to this movie.
A great cast for early Sci Fi fans like myself from The Earth Stood still , Sci Fi Theatre , Forbidden Planet , Twilight Zone , to Star Trek . Thanks to the poster of the movie .
It is very well produced with great actors , with only a budget of $100,000 , about $900,000 today . Made for TV but went into theatrical lease . They could not produce the same today for under a million , even with all the computor special effects .
Check out Bride of the Gorilla. Lon Chaney, Tom Conway, and Raymond Burr all star in that little cheesey piece of cinematic history!
@@payneb52 I cannot remember if I have seen Bride of the Gorilla. With a name like that, I would think I would have remembered it...LOL. And with Raymond Burr in this horror movie, it will certainly be different. I'll see if I can find it....thanks.
Jo Ann Phlug, the lady in the control booth at the beginning of the movie, was a host on Candid Camera in the 70's.
Great point: this is what inspired The Terminator!
This is just too close to where we are heading for comfort. Cool movie too!
Never walk away from your time capsule or spaceship without closing the door behind you. Important DIY tip
Note to self: close doors!
Outer Limits "Soldier" + "Cyborg 2087" = "Terminator"
Dymo punch labels on control panels: so retro. The nostalgia is overwhelming.
That's in 2087 so futuristic.
4:27 voice of Jo-Ann pflug who later went on to voice cartoon character invisible girl of the Fantastic Four
Even in 1966, the dogs know cyborgs are trouble.
Poor Michael Rennie from Klaatu to a super shiny belt and unisex go go boots.
The "Cyborg Boot Store", get your quality shiny silver boots only from us.
And remember, "If they ain't shiny, they ain't for cyborgs!".
It got off to a rather cheesy start but about three-quarters through, I got hooked. A great movie with some great actors.
Thank you Michael
In the scene where they’re dancing, I had those little white boots in the 1960s 😁
I love the dial for the year, those little strips with sticky backs you could print on, I was 6 that year and I remember those handheld printer tapes, for a while I labeled everything I could.lol
Go to the past to eliminate the need to go to the past so you don't go to the past which creates the need to....and so the loop never ends! Good movie to start the winter movie season with.
Sounds like a good explanation of why we can only go forwards in time.
Love the ray gun sound.. Boink !!
Speak softly but carry a big Boink.
@@sandienochs6132 I lived in 1000 Oaks CA 4 years ( Aussie ) I love the movie history of what was filmed around Agoura and surrounds. Boink !
Dr. Zeller was one of those beings from another galazy that the crew of Enterprise encountered in the Star Trek episode “By Any Other Name”.
Karen Steele was also on Star Trek.
good times
I don't know if Cameron ever said he was inspired by this film for his Terminetor but certainly the points in common are such as to exclude coincidences. Furthermore, in the last movie of the Terminator series: Dark Fate, the woman who comes from the future to save the world once again is equally a Cyborg.
He stole his Terminator themes from Harlan Ellison. True story!
Love the vintage jump suit and silver boots.
Everyone thinking this a cheap b movie might be right, but clearly this is the prototype film...the genesis for the Terminator films. Those cyborg wrist pistons on cyborg Michael Rennie...those are in the Cameron films.That is the arm piece of the t 1000. Going back in time to alter history...this clearly is the film that spawned the trilogy and deserves recognition for it. Just as Charlton Heston playing a south American grave robbing archeologist influenced Spielberg as the basis of India Joans...this film inspired the Terminator series.
Almost approaches rip off ...
I have never scene this before, thanks for posting!
The most unrealistic part of this movie is that someone from the future would know how to drive a stick shift.
Other parts of the world the use of stick shift is more common.
@@hydrolito In the future that won't be true. The stick shift will be as big a mystery to future drivers as manual chokes are to us.
I believe when he arrived in his capsule the voice said all briefing of technology of that era is in effect.
@@notmyfault29 good catch!
He must have been European 😉
Thank you very much for sharing and the smile on my face. :)
Thanks! Continue to follow us to watch other cult and rare movies
OMG..I was looking for that movie since i watched it as a very young kid in a saturday matinee(the french translation anyway)Merci beaucoup!
I loved the way Michael Renne fought & fought with the cyborb...and it didn't mess up his hair!
A very classic move. 👍
Especially silver boots worn by a yorkshire man...yep rennie can from Bradford!!!!!....love the koooool daddyo dance scene too. Great movie
Thanks for appreciating our cult movies. Many more will follow soon
Wow! I forgot how great-looking Jo-Anne Pflug was!...Several other actors were familiar to me, mostly throughTV shows. Rennie was handsome, but in an almost other-worldly way. He died in his early 60s, from a bad heart...I think he never had much chance to pursue a serious acting career, after his perfect visage as Klaatu....His last few films were made in England.
Jo Anne is an actress.
Karen Steele! She was Eve in Star Trek's Mudd's Women!
The "future" mentioned in this (rather good) film, has no freedom of thought. What an accurate prediction indeed.
Thank you for uploading. I saw the film in the early 70s here in the UK at age 10 or so and enjoyed it very much.
WOW, this makes your typical Star Trek episode of the late 60s look like a big budget extravaganza. Still, I always say that good writing and good/great acting can elevate even the cheesiest movies.
It was produced for far less ($100,000) than even the per-episode budget for Season 3 of Star Trek ($175,000), which was the lowest of three seasons.
April 18, 1906. " Damn, sent me back too far."
Michael Rennie was about 56 when he played in this film as a bad ass cyborg, I'll always think of him as Klaatu.
The late, great Michael Rennie was awesome in this 1966 science fiction movie, also, actresses Jo Ann Pflug and Karen Steele are gorgeous in this movie too!!
I remember Michael Rennie in an episode of “Lost in Space” which was on the air around the time this movie was made. I was only ten years old! The threats of communism and totalitarian regimes were common themes in the sci-fi of the day. It is no coincidence in the story that the scientist who invented the technology for telepathic mind control would happen to be named Dr. Marx! That teenage dance scene, by the way, was hilarious!
First class acting and not one swear word, why can’t they make them like this anymore!
Who'd have thought that a pair of boots and a crossing guard belt all spray painted silver would be in style so far into the future.
This cut of cyborg 2087 is ten times better than the movie I saw when I was a child 😊
Jo Ann Pflug of M.A.S.H. fame is in it. Probably a brief appearance .According to IMDB, she plays "woman in control booth". She is in the opening scene of the movie. She has a line of dialog which is unfortunately clipped until the sound-track starts.
Jo Ann was easy to spot--she was so amazing looking!
Oh yes I thought I recognised her from somewhere. I assumed the lack of sound was due to her being in a soundproof booth and us being outside it.
Yep , pretty gal was also the voice of Sue Richards ( The Invisible Girl ) in the Hanna Barbera television cartoon show "The Fantastic Four"
I thought she looked familiar. 😳
@@rafaelramirez1507 Also "Big Jack" in The Fall Guy.
Nice movie, Karen Steele was so pretty too.❤❤
Nothing says "I'm from the past" like labels from a Dymo label maker! 🤣🤣
😝 Saw that too
Wow! That Karen Steele got some knockers on her!
That's why Roddenberry cast her, for ST:TOS
Imagine - being transported back in time, and ending up on a film studio back lot!!
Looks like the lot where KTLA Channel 5 is now. Same place episodes of Get Smart were filmed.
Another fantastic English actor with a distinctive voice sadly he died when only 61 years old.
Using a lable maker to lable the year on the 'futuristic' time machine, not to mention Radio Shack parts LOL
At least it was a futuristic red , lol
It seems that Dymo made it into the future.
@@museonfilm8919 a little insider trading can go a long way
The Tandy corporation must've experienced a rebirth around 2080 or so...😁
Label 😉
I enjoyed the part with the teenage amphetamine addicts dancing, A welcome reprieve from the otherwise very heavy tone of the movie.
Anyone else notice the tall blond boy dancer at the doctors house, whose name was Skinny, was wearing skinny jeans? And these hipsters today think they’re setting a new trend. LOL This movie is still setting fashion trends almost sixty years later.
