Cyborg

Brace yourselves people, because this is one of, if not the only film of the great JCVD's career where-in, wait for it...he doesn't show his bare arse! I know?! Amazing huh.

Plot: In a post-apocalyptic world, ravaged by plague, the remaining few doctors think they have a cure. The tricky part being that this is a rather harsh world and they need to surgically alter a person to act as a storage device/courier (that's not JCVD) and reclaim the information from New York and take it to Atlanta. To get there, she's gonna need a little help, that's JC's department. Of course he gets his ass kicked, a lot, but he eventually gets her to her destination, only to face a battle to the death with another cyborg, this one's a touch more butch though.

Budget: $500,000

Gross: $10,166,459

Fun Fact: This film was written as a basic outline over a weekend, intended for Chuck 'the fist' Norris. One of the actors actually lost an eye when a wayward kick from JCVD collided with his face. As a result, JC had to fork out $485,000, nearly more than the budget of the film!

Oh, another great fact...the sequel, Cyborg 2, stars Jack Palance, Elias Koteas and Angelina Jolie.
