Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Tommy Nelson "Devil Dynamite" looked like it would be a harmless, silly Asian film...but it was much much more, or in this case less. Though this part obviously only pertains to the American dubbed version, the dubbing sounds really bad. Little kids sound like grown men playing cartoon characters, and the other dubbing doesn't fit either.The action scenes are simply amazing. You really can't top 4 hopping vampires attacking a weird, parachute pants wearing robo-man. Sounds pretty good, huh!? Well the whole movie is pretty much just a bunch of poorly filmed and put together action scenes, where continuity does not exist. Let me try to piece the plot together. There's some guy controlling vampires with pieces of paper and a bell, while an android saves the day. Meanwhile some people are digging for gold because some guy named Cox told them about hidden treasure.Add many strange subplots, and odd cuts and you have what quite probably is the worst and most bizarre foreign film of all time. It's a perfect example of how not to make a film, and it's quite funny too. Check it out if you like bad cinema, otherwise avoid it at all costs.
Woodyanders An evil drug cartel uses vampires to ensure that they retain their power. Some guy wearing a motorcycle helmet who looks like he's wrapped in tin foil -- he resembles a poor man's Inframan -- battles said vampires. Meanwhile criminal mastermind Steven Cox gets sprung from the joint and tries to hook back up with wicked duplicitous former moll Mary (the ever lovely and graceful Angela Mao). Got that? Well, I'm still not quite sure I got the insanely incoherent plot right, but this ridiculous rambling mess is nonetheless very entertaining in its nonstop jaw-dropping absurdity. For starters, those aforementioned vampires are clearly a bunch of dudes sporting tacky greasepaint make-up and a mouthful of cheap plastic fangs. Plus they can be controlled by sticking a piece of paper to their foreheads! The wild martial arts fight scenes with these hopping freaks wreaking all kinds of crazy havoc are absolutely sidesplitting. The alarmingly atrocious scenery-gnashing acting provides a wealth of unintentional laughs as well. Ditto the expected hilariously horrendous dubbing. But what really clinches this baby's status as a total schlock hoot is the way it haphazardly tosses together two separate pictures into a single incredibly inane composite feature. It's by no means a good film, but it's definitely a great deal of always enjoyable and often uproarious goofy fun all the same.
joeshoe89 This is another Eastern Horrors DVD from the Brentwood bargain basement (Amazon.com still has some VHS tapes of it and the picture is of that quality - full screen and English dubbed). It seems that Angela Mao is Mary the former lover of Koch (I'm not sure the sound is bad and sometimes it sounds like Kok)who has a treasure chest(!) of gold buried about 10 inches down in the sand on a beach that a hefty gangster with an eye patch wants badly. Mary is actually the boss of the underworld (Angela doesn't do any of her famous kung fu fighting she just stands around with her glitter eye shadow looking mean) and she's about to marry a much younger guy than Koch. There's an English guy with a beard (I think this is Richard Phillips) who has an evil priest using hopping vampires to keep his mob in power (I also think he works for Angela but the connection between the gangsters isn't really made clear. There's also a guy named Alex who has a good priest on his side and he turns into a guy in a cheesy tin foil sort of space suit with a matching silver helmet who battles the hopping vampires. The eye patch gangster gets Koch's gold but is killed soon afterward. The spacesuit guy defeats the hopping vampires. Koch kills Mary in revenge then is trapped in a beach house that is blown up and he appears to die in the flaming house. If this was Super Inframan it would rate an 8 or 9 but as a somewhat juvenile action movie for me it gets a 5. There's also a little chunky boy hopping vampire for the kids. No nudity no sex some fighting but not so great.
matt-bondy-1 the only review I've seen hailed it as being better than its sister film robovampire. if you loved the hopping vampires, firearms/fireworks madness, gorilla-vampire/ghost love story, crappy explosions, and random storyline of robovampire you will be disappointed by this film. the final scenes are robovampire worthy material but otherwise its just a big melodramatic, badly written film. If your looking for something like robovampire look for catman:lethal track, its almost as good. catman: boxers blow is also a little better than this film but not much. I don't really know what else to say, I just want to warn others that its not worth purchasing. if you were to buy this film, i would suggest watching this film first then robovampire. otherwise this film will just be a big let down.
