Project Shadowchaser (1992 92 minutes)

Romulus the cyborg (who looks like the old wrestler Sting or Guile from the Streetfighter game) gets mad at his creators and puts a scientist's head through a computer monitor. Then he is somehow able to recruit a gang of mercenaries to go all Die Hard at a Hospital where the President's daughter (played by Meg Foster - the woman with the creepy eyes from They Live) just so  happens to work. The best idea the police can come up with is to revive the hospital's architect, who's been frozen in a cryogenic prison, except they can't even do that right and accidentally wake up an ex-football hero (played by Martin Kove - the bad sensei in Karate Kid) instead.  Even after the feds figure out the mistake they still go through with their fool plan of infiltrating with hospital which gets all of the SWAT guys killed and leaves the football hero alone against the cyborg - so you know the final battle is going to involve throwing some kind of 'touchdown pass' while the building explodes. Along the way we get a bunch of crawling around in air vents, some cyber Blade Runner-isms, a couple of double crosses, and even a robotic surprise or 2 + Martin Kove has this sweet beard after waking up from his cryogenic sleep.
