Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story
GazerRise Fantastic!
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
BA_Harrison A drug-lord recruits Chinese vampires to protect his business from government narcotics agents. When one of their people is captured, the authorities not only send in a rescue team but also create an indestructible cyborg to take on the enemy.I knew it, I knew it! Although my copy of Robo Vampire names (blames?) someone called Joe Livingstone as director, everything I saw screamed Godfrey Ho. The insane, disjointed story (the result of two or more films badly spliced together); the crappy kung fu; the awful dubbing; the ridiculous special effects: Ho's inimitable touch was all over this nonsense.Featuring quite possibly the worst RoboCop rip-off ever (the cyborg's suit is made from padded silver lamé), a hopping vampire in a rubber gorilla mask with fireworks up its sleeves (?!?!), a yucky scene in which a woman packs heroin inside the stomach of a dead animal, a female ghost who bares her breasts in order to distract her foes, and numerous badly stuffed dummies being thrown about in poorly choreographed fight scenes, this has to be one the most bonkers and least comprehensible efforts in Ho's canon. Consequently, it also proves to be one of his more entertaining efforts.6.5 out of 10, rounded up 7 for IMDb.
Soylent Blue With a budget of 2.5 million dollars and the talents of that master thespian Denis Lawson (aka Wedge "Look At The Size Of That Thing" Antilles from the original Star Wars Trilogy), you might think that a ground-breaking independent film on the subjects of robot/vampire conflicts and the Japanese drug trade could be created. I wouldn't, but you might.The acting, what there was of it, was terrible. The same goes for the writing. One unintentionally funny line occurs when "Some Guy" sneaks up on his skinny-dipping girlfriend. She sees him and covers herself. He responds with a line like: "It's a beautiful view. You should bathe more often".As pure cinematic cheese , this movie has it all: badly acted death scenes, rampant explosions and blood, horrible special effects and costumes, crazy edits, obvious stunt doubles, jumping Japanese vampires and of course, a naked ghost.Death scenes: After a man is shot, he collapses, then he looks off-camera at the unfortunate director of this movie for direction, and collapses again. Is he dead? Maybe after the end credits he'll look around again before exploding. In another scene, a hero character fires ONCE at a line of enemies and two men, from opposite ends of the line mind you, drop dead.Explosions: BOOM! BOOM! BANG! BANG! You can't even guess when one will happen and after 10 minutes, you won't care.Blood: The movie is about vampires, so each scene is like the elevator scene from The ShiningFX/Costumes: Smoke everywhere and the head vampire shoots bottle rockets, or something from his arms. The Robo character is a resembles a baked potato in all that tin foil. The Head vampire wears a gorilla mask, and not a good one at that.Crazy Edits: I'll let you pick them out.During fights featuring the ghost girl, the actress playing her is replaced by a shorter and thinner girl with different hair.Maybe in Japan vampires who jump around are frightening, but I found them hilarious. I'm not sure why putting flypaper on their faces puts them sleep either.Naked ghost:Self-explanatory.Don't expect "Traffic" meets "Robocop" meets "Dracula" because what you'll get is "Up In Smoke" meets "Short Circuit" meets "Blacula". I gave this movie a 1 because as an action film, it was truly awful. As a comedy, i'd give it a 10 even if the humour is unintentional. If you like cheesy movies, as I do, go out and rent (I bet you could buy it cheaper though) "Robo-Vampire".If You Dare...
brakson I've seen a lot of bad movies in my day, and i'm pretty sure this takes the cake... wow, where to start on this movie. first, shame on many of you for voting 10 on this movie, it may be fun to watch because its so bad, but i think it belongs as #1 on the bottom 100 spot, it deserves nothing more than a 1 on the list. I'm pretty tired of movies that truly belong on the bottom of the list not getting there because they were not on MST3K. At first before i watched this movie, i stuck to my story that the worst movie that i had seen so far was the Nail gun massacre (and yes, that movie is quite bad) , and i'm going to have to say this blew that movie away. First as we see on the cover a picture that is clearly robocop (i'm not sure how magnum video got away with this blatant copy write infringement) putting a vampire in a headlock, so i put this garbage into the vcr, and now im here writing a review for the movie. The problem being, i don't know what to say, the movie had absolutely no plot, and people throw that phrase around a lot, but this movie doesn't, no plot at all.(i guess this contains spoilers, oh well i guess im spoiling what little of a plot the worst movie ever has)(back of the box) "Narcotics agent Tom Wilde is given a second chance at life after being shot and killed. In a futuristic experiment, agent Wilde is returned to life as an Android robot. He is sent on a very dangerous mission into the depths of the Golden triangle to rescue Sophie, a beautiful undercover agent who has been captured by the evil drug warlord Mr.. young and his inhuman creation the vampire beast. In a climactic battle, tom must use all of his robotic powers to defeat the savage drug lord and his monstrous blood sucking creation"YES, THE COMPANY THAT MADE THE MOVIE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THE PLOT.1. tom wilde isn't shot to death, he is killed by a vampire2. sophie and tom, (robo warrior) are never on the screen at the same time, EVER. which ill also back up some of the reviewers when they say that this movie is two movies spliced together, its just two different things going on at the same time that never meet except for about 10 minutes.other than this, i cant really go through the non-existent plot, can i? here are a few nice tidbits from the movie though1. The lead vampire wears a Halloween store grade monkey mask and CLEARLY shoots bottle rockets out of his hands2. some scenes have up to 5-10 bad edits, especially fight scenes. and look as if they were done with 2 vcr's3. robo warriors suit looks like tin foil, he in no way looks like robocop4. the evil drug dealers use chinese water torture on the anti drug agents but LET'S THEM MOVE THEIR HEADS FREELY WHILE WATER DRIPS ON THEM.5. a woman pokes out a man's eyes with the three stooges two finger eye poke6. the fight between robo warrior and the vampires for no reason what so ever moves from the jungle (where more than 99% of the movie is based) to some some city in a fraction of a second.and many more, i beg...i plead with you to give this movie a 1 and a 1 only. lets put this movie where it belongs! at the bottom of the list!!!
Junkie-6 The credits seem to be completely wrong and the plot synopsis lists it as a Japanese movie (with Japanese hopping vampires - !?), but this is the perpetually poverty-striken Thomas Tang's unflinchingly cheesy rip-off of RoboCop... Sorta. Not to leave well enough along Tang decided to have their RoboReject (here called RoboWarrior), looking utterly laughable in a silver lamé get-up that must be seen to be disbelieved, fight a bunch of drug-dealers who are using hopping vampires to protect their drug smuggling.Subplots and characters are completely forgotten half way through the movie about only to pop-up near the end, the main tough-guy hired to rescue a drug-agent in the hands of the bad guys constantly gets his butt kicked and has to be saved every time and some sequences just make no sense whatsoever. Apparently the entire budget went to guns, explosives and pyrotechnics (which ain't exactly a bad thing). Oh, and the white chick who plays a ghost who shows her boobs when not being doubled by an Asian in a similar (but not remotely identical) outfit for the fight scenes.I could ramble on about this gem, but words cannot do this film justice! It must be seen to be disbelieved!A treasured part of my bad cinema collection and if you are a cheese lovin' trash cinema fan (not some dork who is into it because it's the cool thing these days but would rather see a Schwartzenegger flick when all is said and done), this is essential viewing with a short-case of suds and some quick-witted friends.
