A different way of telling a story

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

"Linda" (Chikako Aoyama) is a female police officer who has been assigned to guard the son of an extremely wealthy oil sheik. Lamentably, her mission becomes a complete failure as he is consequently kidnapped and Linda (aka "Selena") is critically wounded trying to protect him. Meanwhile, at a lavish convention sponsored by the oil sheik with the goal of awarding a large contract to the best robot manufacturer, an evil Japanese robotics genius by the name of "Ryuichi Sakamoto" (Chung Lin) televises a video declaring that he has kidnapped the sheik's son and demands the sheik's complete cooperation. He then demonstrates his genius by killing himself while simultaneously transferring his mind into the computerized brain of a nearby robot. Not only does this give him incredible power and intelligence but the robot also has a remarkable human appearance as well. Not to be outdone, another scientist at the convention named "Dr. Sara" (Siu-dan Hui) also has a powerful robot with human appearances by the name of "Anna" (Amy Yip) and vows to help the sheik defeat Ryuichi Sakamoto. Although she realizes that Sakamoto's robot has the edge due to his superior human intelligence, she also devises a plan to essentially compensate for it. To do this she will need a human brain of her own and Linda is the perfect candidate. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that I was surprised at the amount of action, nudity, sex and martial arts this film contained. Unfortunately, the script and the special effects were considerably bad and this really affected the overall entertainment value. Even so, there was some good humor here and there along with several sexy actresses featured including the aforementioned Chikako Aoyama, Siu-an Hui and Amy Yip which certainly didn't hurt this film in any way. In any case, regardless of the cheap effects, I rate this movie as about average.

A prince from the middle east is kidnapped by a mad Japanese scientist. He manages to kill Selina, who was the prince's bodyguard. Utilizing the latest in cyborg technology, Dr. Sara (Hui Hiu Dan) transfers Selina's mind and body to a robot. Dr. Sara's assistant is Ann, played by the sexy Amy Yip, and they all try to stop this scientist and save the prince. This movie is a category 3 film, and its full of violence and nudity, especially Selina, played by the also sexy Chikako Aoyama. That this works at all is a minor miracle, but it manages to be a crude but watchable action film. Crazy things happen, but the film is not meant to be taken seriously. If you don't mind gratuitous violence and nudity, it passes the time pretty well.

This film, which goes by the English title "Robotrix" and is available dubbed, is a Hong Kong version of Russ Meyer meets James Cameron. It's ultraviolent, with three hot actresses. The movie is sporadically entertaining and at times disgusting. I give it a 10 only because of the presence of Chikako Aoyama, who topless is a wonder to behold. Amy Yip is also beautiful, skinny and pneumatic. Otherwise I'd give it a 6. One extra point each.

This is a very good movie to take a chance on. For the most part, it's done well on a low budget. It has much nudity and sometimes is tasteless in it's humor. Amy Yip and Chikako Aoyama are very good. The copy I saw didn't have subtitles, but if you understand a little Cantonese, there's enough English to understand what's going on. Robots, killers, sex, gore. You can't ask much more from a movie!!! Overall, 8 out of 10.
