Cyborg 2087 (1966) | VINTAGE SCI-FI MOVIE | Michael Rennie - Karen Steele - Wendell Corey 

He saw “Demon with a Glass Hand”, a highly rated episode of “The Outer Limits” from a few years earlier than this movie.

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.

I'm glad somebody noticed that.

I've think the same thing.

... and don't forget the metal suspenders, available in shining silver or glimmering gold! 😁

Hm, good idea for Hallowe'en....

And a purple Ascot!!

@@trojan6530 Right. Had to look that up. It's a good layer to add for Canadian winter. We always wear them also on my home planet, when the cool blue breezes begin to blow in from the eastern discontinuity.

Yes.. the silver boots do seem to add a certain... bounce? to his step as he prances onto the scene😐

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.

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?

Onwards and upwards. Thanks for comments. My Blessings

R U STILL ALIVE BRO

I wonder if Michael Rennie ever felt like he was type cast, Remember he also played The Keeper in a two-part episode of Lost in Space

Klaatu Barada nikto

He's also The Keeper on Lost in Space. Creatures exited his space peacefully and small human sized Cyclops looked the same as grown giant ones.

Klaatu Beratus Necktie...

Yes he Will!! And Klaatu to You. Gort

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" 👍

I'm amazed that Michael Rennie was able to keep a straight face during the filming.

@@videomaniac108 especially with that get-up he's wearing,dig the boots 👢 and coveralls and to think we're all gonna be dressing like this in 65 years 🤔✌👍

@@jackdarbyshire5888 for starters I saw this movie at the drive as a kid and two I'm okay with the fashion seeing as I'm not going to be around in 2087 LOL

he got with the chicky off screen for a quickie during the scene of the squishing

@@JOSEMunoz-tc5rq me neither I'm already 57 years old to begin with 🤔✌

Thick Face wax? 😎

Klaatu didn't age, too... until he came to Earth.

He didn't die.... he just returned to his home planet.

Many thanks. Please subscribe to our channel

Won't matter. In 2063, Zefram Cochrane will break the light barrier, and the Vulcans will show up.

@@starguy2718 😆😅🤣

😂😂😂

Cravats have _always_ been fashionable you peasant.

🎶Michael Rennie was ill the day the Earth stood still, but he told where we stand . . . .🎶

The Fiat?

Have you ever seen the 1996 film The Tomorrow Man? I just wanted to mention it.

michel Ichiman fernandes Someone must have written this story with the mind of a 5-year-old.

@@redblade8160 Maybe the monkey in "Sex Kittens go to college" :p

​@@craig4867 Obviously, your sense of humour is that of a 5-year-old child, as well, unfortunately, your kind never develops!

@@craig4867 Well if that's your attempt at "humour", then you should give up right there.

It's a good thing that they don't make them like this with corny dancing and no budget,🤣

Right!?! Everything is cgi and fake now at least then you still had your imagination

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.

Seems to me to be an early version of "The Terminator"

@@stephenhipp7859 It would take a hell of a lot of imagination to turn that into a good story!

I'm 70 this year. I used to watch the Early Show and I remember the music from the show. Enjoyable movie and the actors too.

Thank you. Continue to follow us for great vintage stuff

I’m a bit younger but I too remember the Early Show. They always had great movies in my opinion. It’s sad that you don’t see programs like that anymore. Many thanks for putting this movie on RU-vid!

1966 is not very very old.

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.

@@garyfletcher844 Ok Boomer.

@@garyfletcher844 Really? 🤯

@@garyfletcher844 I know what you mean , compared to the flick "Things to come" and "Metropolis" this movie isn't that old

Many thanks. Many other oldies will follow. Please keep an eye on us

Didn't they have Push Button Drive too, Like 56-64 Chryslers?

Note to self: close doors!

Yeah. Like the Totalitarian-Marxist Demorat party's relationship with the "Big-Tech" oligarchy...😁

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

Too many films seem to think special effects are more important than a good story ...

Because current movies know their audience aren't as smart as the past ones.

Generational mk ultra

Thank you so much. Please subscribe to watch other movies like this one. We'll release a lot of retro sci-fi.

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.

@@phdtobedon’t you also mean “Soldier”, also from The Outer Limits, and also written by Ellison?

...and the Seattle space needle too! It's center right on the cityscape background for the introductory credits - see it?

I just made a comment of the same. I was laughing at those labels on the instruments.

Whoever invented Dymo must be stinkin' proud of longevity.

@@andrewfrankovic6821 No, actually Dymo is *from* the future.

@@teach-learn4078 Backwards longevity.

Something that really works, is hard to improve on.

That wig too

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.

By Any Other Name

@@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...😉👍

@@haroldjedrzejczyk9449 A 2 part episode, no less.

@@haroldjedrzejczyk9449 In real life, he was not so dignified, especially when it came to the ladies!

@@curbozerboomer1773 I believe he was in the closet but don't quote me on it

He tried...but Hollywood never really embraced him as a leading man, so he eventually moved back to England.

Not for nothing @frankfarago2825 but I wouldn't mind being stuck in 1966 Lol .. 👍

Definition of bed bug my crawl into your time machine and go back and wreak havoc

Warren Stevens, Karen Steele, and even Byron Morrow

😝 Saw that too

Almost approaches rip off ...

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"

@@RC-sz4ub it sounds very similar to the background music used in some Richard Diamond episodes, about 1958-60.

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 😉

Karen Steele was also on Star Trek.

Verdade.

Mine too!

Mine too

That's in 2087 so futuristic.

That's why Roddenberry cast her, for ST:TOS

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.

Jo Anne is an actress.

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 !

He stole his Terminator themes from Harlan Ellison. True story!

Thank you Michael

Thanks for appreciating our cult movies. Many more will follow soon

Sounds like a good explanation of why we can only go forwards in time.

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 😉

Dymo's are forever...😁

I can accept analogue instruments maybe the time radiation could affect digital ones, but Dymo always looked pants.

Only in the future, they came up with a way to keep them from curling and peeling off.

@@mikebetts2046 LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

If you're talking about the sheriff, YES! First thing I noticed was his slurred speech.

😆 🤣

Not at all, many movie ideas were spawned from earlier similar movies.

Already happened with Ellison’s lawsuit. The legal wrangling started in 1984 and was settled out of court.

Looks like the lot where KTLA Channel 5 is now. Same place episodes of Get Smart were filmed.

Thanks! Continue to follow us to watch other cult and rare movies

In reality there was a similar movie prior to both, however it disappeared without a trace, no one has any memory of it. Except me, I am special.

Actually I was joking 🤪But maybe there is a line of stories with this plot going back to Sumerian times.@@armandonobrega5282

Yah, opewation of de mahnual gearshift is one of my subwoutines.

When he first arrives in 1966 the audio message from the on board computer says that all previous briefings of technology of the time period is in effect. I imagine that still means manual gear shift (which by the way is still mainly preferred in Europe to this day in 2022).

You do know outside merica most people drive with a manual gearbox.

@@dogwalker666 Yeah, and even people from other planets or so I've heard.

Could you manage a horse and buggy?
