Lemmy needs more content that isn’t about US politics right now so I’m making a random post.

What’s the most obscure cyberpunk movie you’ve seen? Name a cyberpunk movie you don’t think anyone else has heard of.

I’m not saying you have to think it’s a good movie (or that you even like it), I just want to discuss obscure, unknown cyberpunk movies. Come on, let’s talk about something other than politics here.

    Nobody mentioned it, so it’s either really obscure or way too obvious, but: Nirvana (1997).

    A game developer finds out that the main character in his next title has become sentient and must save him from endless suffering by deleting all copies of the game shortly before it launches. I saw it many years ago, and really liked it. It hasn’t aged perfectly, but all the important cyberpunk bits are there.

      Definitely obscure. It’s hard to find online anywhere. I’ve only been able to find it on the internet archive. It’s got a weird plot but amazing cyberpunk visuals.
