Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

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.
I am surprised no one mentioned Decoder (1984). Starring W.S.Burroughs, Gen P. Orridge and Christiane F. of bahnhof zoo. One of there best underground movies ever made.
Not sure if it's obscure but Johnny mnemonic. But Tek Wars is a bit more ... B movie esque.
There was some 90s mini series that I haven't re watched since when it aired. Wild Palms. Maybe not cyberpunk. But future dystopia at least
I can't read that title now except for "The Gene Gene-Ration"
I'm just talkin' 'bout my gene-generation.
Well great, now I can't un-see that...
Nirvana by Gabriele Salvadores. But if you want to watch it, get the Italian version with the eng subtitles, I'm told the English voiceover is utter crap.

...not super-obscure in its day but very much a product of the mid-eighties, i doubt many folks are familiar with it fourty years later: michael crichton, tom selleck, gene simmons, peak kirstie alley...
(set in the near future-shock of 1991!)
Lol the left arm on the middle poster is so loooong

Most obscure one I can think of is William shattner Tek war. I dunno if that is obscure to others, but it is to me
