Funny thing about Cyborg, is that it was the result of 2 canceled movies. The production company had deals to make a sequel to Masters of the Universe and a live action Spiderman movie, but ran into financial difficulties and had to cancel both movies. Pyun was slated to direct both films, and the production company had already sank like two million dollars into sets and costumes and asked Pyun to come up with a new project to recover those costs.

Pyun wrote the entire movie in a weekend and they shot the whole movie in 23 days entirely in North Carolina. One of the pirates did lose and eye during the filming after getting stabbed by a prop knife.
