If comment-OP concentrates for a minute, they can "flex" inward. Their Fabio-hair is drawn inwards and so is their facial hair until they seem completely clean-shaven. Then with a gasp they open their mouth and a long vine of hair spews out to strike down their enemies. Once the villains are downed, they can "flex" the hair back in through their mouth, and push it out of their head and face like before to look totally normal. They're planning to become a superhero soon, but they just can't think of a good hero name.

ROBOCOP 1988 animated cartoon
Baby's first cyberpunk:
> The show made a number of changes to the RoboCop universe to make it more appropriate for younger viewers, including replacing bullets with laser weapons and shifting the series to a more science fiction setting. In this series, RoboCop had a red light in the middle of his visor (which occasionally panned the whole visor). It is set in an alternate continuity where events similar to those shown in the movie happened ... > > Based on the original movie, the series features cyborg cop Alex Murphy (RoboCop), who fights to save the city of Old Detroit from assorted rogue elements, and on occasion, fighting to reclaim aspects of his humanity and maintain his usefulness in the eyes of the "Old Man", Chairman of Omni Consumer Products. Many episodes see RoboCop's reputation put to the test or soured by interventions from Dr. McNamara, the creator of ED-260, the upgradable version of the Enforcement Droid Series 209 and the top competitor for the financial backing of OCP. He continually develops other mechanical menaces that threaten RoboCop.

Not sure how to feel about this -- it's got near-future tech, low-lifes, and corporate scheming. But the animation is 80s-era quality and the plots are generally pretty simple. It's ok background noise and historically interesting, I guess.

American Fiction (2023, 1080p)
> American Fiction ... follows a frustrated novelist-professor who writes an outlandish satire of stereotypical "Black" books, only for it to be mistaken for serious literature and published to high sales and critical praise. ... > > On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 93% of 285 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.2/10. The website's consensus reads: "Jeffrey Wright and American Fiction will forever be inextricable thanks to the actor's committed approach to the pointedly humorous and insightful material."[21] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 81 out of 100, based on 54 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[22] Audiences polled by PostTrak gave the film a 90% positive score, with 83% saying they would definitely recommend it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Fiction_(film)
Solid, thoughtful film with a couple metafictional twists. Makes several comments about race, book publishing, and film-making. But there's also a great story that's just about a middle-aged guy and his family. Plus it's pretty funny.
Falcon Rising (2014, 2160p) - independent martial arts film with Michael Jai White
Michael Jai White is an underrated martial arts star, though he's been in a bunch of movies. He pretty much carries this one, which seems to be low-budget and was aimed for the streaming market. I think it was meant to start a franchise but apparently that fell through. Anyway it's still an entertaining movie if your expectations are low. White plays a troubled vet who goes to Brazil to take down some bad guys.
> Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, reports that 43% of seven surveyed critics gave the film a positive review; the average rating is 5.5/10.[5] Metacritic rated it 49/100 based on four reviews.[6] Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter called it "a by-the-numbers thriller that mainly serves as a showcase for its star’s considerable fighting abilities".[7] Nicolas Rapold of The New York Times likened the film to a 1980s TV cop show and wrote that although White's character is likeable, he is not menacing.[8] Tom Long of The Detroit News wrote, "Falcon Rising is filled with so many action-flick cliches it could serve as a text on how not to do things."[9] Simon Abrams of The Village Voice compared it to Commando. Abrams wrote that White's character, despite his charisma, "comes across like another pseudo-heroic American behaving badly abroad".[10] Soren Andersen of The Seattle Times wrote, "Nothing new here, in other words, but White’s electrifying performance makes it all seem somehow fresh."[11] Charles Bramesco of The Dissolve rated it 3/5 stars and wrote, "Though Falcon Rising occasionally fails to distinguish itself from the glut of similar globe-trotting action potboilers, it succeeds on the merits of White's winning performance."

High Kick Girl! (2009 1080p) - low-budget karate movie (Japanese with English subtitles)
This movie's got a minimal plot and theme, it's mostly just a series of fight scenes. And the fight scenes have good and bad points. On the good side, the main actors are legit traditional karate experts so their movements and attacks all look good. On the meh side, the fight scenes are the sort where the bad guys attack one at a time and a single hit from a skinny schoolgirl will knock them out for several minutes. On the bad side, the movie does this thing where every so often an "instant replay" will show the most recent hit again. It's not even from a different angle or in slow motion, it's just... the same thing again.
Overall, it's worth watching if you're into karate or low-budget martial arts films. It's available in a couple different languages:

Smooth McGroove got several million views off this, but I think he got screwed by the youtube algorithm, which privileges longer "talk" videos over short quality productions.

Cyber Bandits (1995, 360p) - Martin Kemp, Grace Jones, Adam Ant
Originally posted on [email protected].
This movie went straight-to-DVD, and... yeah, it's pretty bad. The acting is terrible, the fight scenes suck, and the special effects are very limited. But it does have a couple 80s New Wave musicians, like Martin Kemp (bassist from Spandau Ballet), Adam Ant, and Grace Jones. Also, Robert "Airplane!" Hays is the bad guy, James Hong (Mr Ping from Kung Fu Panda) has a role, and there are rebels that use Mac Pluses and those enormous IBM Model M keyboards. So if you expect something cheesy, it can be entertaining.

El Luchador (1975 720p Español) - Charles Bronson
This is the Spanish version of Hard Times, one of the best films of 70s tough-guy movie star Charles Bronson. No English version available, sorry!
> Hard Times es una película protagonizada por Charles Bronson y James Coburn. Fue dirigida por Walter Hill y estrenada en el año 1975.
> Son los años de la Gran Depresión en los Estados Unidos, y un experto en peleas a puño limpio llega a la ciudad de Nueva Orleans. Su nombre es Chaney (Bronson), y a pesar de su apariencia avejentada y su personalidad enigmática, derrota a cualquier rival que se le ponga en enfrente, aunque con el apoyo de Speedy (Coburn), un oportunista promotor de luchadores callejeros. Sin embargo, Speedy llega a meterse en problemas debido a deudas pasadas...
> La película tiene una calificación reciente del 92% en el sitio web de agregación de reseñas de películas Rotten Tomatoes basado en 12 reseñas de críticos.
> Pauline Kael calificó el escenario de Tiempos difíciles como "recreaciones de época elaboradas que casi parecen estar allí por su propio bien". La película trata sobre las personalidades de los luchadores callejeros y sus agentes, personas al margen de la sociedad. Por otro lado, poner la película en la Depresión podría haber sido una forma de que Hill hiciera de Chaney un personaje más comprensivo. Kael explica: "Ponle [a Charles Bronson] con ropa moderna y es un tipo duro y duro, pero con esa gorra es uno de los desposeídos, un hombre honesto que conoce el hambre".
> Roger Ebert, en su reseña de Hard Times del 14 de octubre de 1975 en el Chicago Sun-Times, la consideró "una película poderosa y brutal que contiene una interpretación definitiva de Charles Bronson".
