'Knights' in many ways sums up director Albert Pyun's work. Likable actors picking up a paycheck. Decent cinematography in the middle of nowhere. It's also low budget moviemaking with delusions of grandeur. Like some deep ideas, heavy themes course thru the veins of this silly post apocalyptic cyborg fighting tale written by him.
Nea (pro kickboxer Kathy Long) parents get murdered by cyborgs led by Job (Lance Henriksen) when she's a young girl. She's tasked with protecting her baby brother, but 10 years later she's been separated from him and saved by a cyborg Gabriel (Kris Kristofferson) who's sole purpose is to destroy fellow cyborgs. He trains her to take them down and free humankind.
Human blood for fuel. Decent makeup effects, an obvious stunt double for Kristofferson & a bum ending. Henriksen wears this huge mechanical arm to set him apart. He sneers, drools, kisses a parrot and spouts crazy dialog. He's really giving it his all, but unfortunately he's stuck in a poor cheap film.
