Robotrix [DVD]

Silly and very enjoyable

Good

good dvd.

A lot more than I was expecting... this is basically soft porn with an action, sci fi, comedy twist... The plot moves quickly, do not take this movie too seriously and you will be entertained.

Excellent! Fast delivery!

This as much a mild hard-core porn film as it is a sci-fi film. Quite well made an has a sense of humour. Nice story, Robocop-like.

Very Good

Been after this for years.

Greetings; There are several editions of this movie out there, this one appears to be a regionless Chinese edition, based on the characters I see(script-wise, not actors). I am familiar with the prodiction company as well, having also made several of the Mr Vampire movies I have seen, or so I beleive it was...Mr Vampire part 1 and Magic Cop, to name but a few. Not important really, but all the same. I had seen this movie years ago as a VHS, which I still own, but I have been looking to upgrade to a DVD copy, my earlier searches for it revealed copies that seemed to be a bit out there. I mean, it is a good movie, sure. There is at this moment, a VHS copy of it on Amazon for about $70, if you can beleive that. At any rate, finding a decently priced copy like this was unexpected, though not unwelcome. You just have to keep looking sometimes to really find little Gems like this. As for the movie itself, it was quite funny at times. Did it have the best special effects? The best acting? No, but all in all it was more than decent. Simulated sex scenes as one might come to expect(Actual porn never really makes it to this level of production, no english subtitles, no dubbing, little releasing whatsoever outside of its country of origin at all, if you want a better understanding of it, I personally recommend watching the interviews of Reiko Yamaguchi in 'The Japanese Wife Next Door' as she explains her jump from regular hard-core porn to the softcore movie-movies. The movie was also very good too, actually, but the interview was in some senses educational I suppose you could call it). I seem to recall seeing other copies on Amazon that said they were English Dubbed, I think that perhaps even my VHS copy had been too, though it has been a while, so I am not completly sure. Either way though, a very good movie and certainly well worth getting, provided you don't mind a little slap-stick with your simulated sex. Ah yes, my VHS copy had been English Dubbed and the company that released it was 'Tokya Shock,' whereas this DVD copy dubbed in Cantonese is released by Media Asia LTD. I bought this knowing it wasn't in English, so I am not complaining really, but I wasn't sure about my old copy until I finally dug it back up-been hidden away in my closet in some boxes since having moved to our new home, not hiding it, its just I don't have my vhs player hooked up so my VHS tapes arn't really out for me to get at easily. Thank you and take care...

Jamie Luk directs this cheesy, breezy action flick that suggests a (near) future scenario when robot technology creates lifelike, but incredibly agile and powerful cyborgs. A warped Japanese scientist kidnaps a wealthy shiek's son, then transfers his own intelligence into an android and basically dares the world to stop him. He then goes on a raping and killing spree, targeting mainly prostitutes. Lovely police officer Selena Lam (Chikako Aoyama) who was killed while trying to protect the sheik's son, is given new life, Robocop-style, as a mean fighting machine (but still great-looking) and given the mission of doing battle with the evil android. Assisting her are beautiful robot creator Dr. Sara (Hiu-Dan Hui), her stunning and big-chested mechanical alter ego (Amy Yip) and Selena's boyfriend and fellow cop, who is unaware that she has been "changed". Goofiness, action, sex, nudity, violence and brutality ensue. Except for some jarring scenes of sexual assault, the whole mess is very entertaining. The cast and crew put a lot of energy into the production, but also slipped in some weird Japanese slapstick humor (especially involving Selena's fellow cops, who are male, quite horny and inept). Selena also has some touching scenes with her boyfriend, exploring the question: What would you do if you just had fantastic sex with someone, only to find out later that they were really dead and their mind had been transferred to a machine? Serious question, indeed, but no time for that, the world must be saved! Robotrix is a kind of live-action anime, definitely not for kids. (This review is for the re-mastered, uncut version).

this is a sci fi chinese film about a future world wher machines or androids are every where and it stars the pretty amy yip. good movie for the sci fi content and a good film for the nudity also. this is just like the american b-movies. except with a better story line. I watch b-movoes for the often showing of women. and this one is no differnt it pretty much a androind (amy yip) that want to be human and what it like about trying to be human is the sex act. so it works in like a brothel. so that pretty much the whole of the move and I like it. and its a good movie for my amy yip collection but for any chinese cult film collection you may have this would be a good one.

If you enjoy the aforementioned,you will enjoy this film.I was impressed by the budget and acting.The humor was well done also. Yes,the actresses are pretty-but scenery can't make a good film.So,in essence-robots are created,one renegade developer transfers his essence into a cyborg.The other developers fear you cannot control the human spirit-but must transfer the heroines soul into a robotic recreation of herself to counter the villain.There is nudity,but it makes sense. A good story,good acting,solid budget.Worth the price.

DVD Review: Pertaining to the Bonzai, PanMedia generic version. It's pretty much the same as the Joy Sales version but with a different menu and lousy English dubbing. The transfer picture and sound quality is great and the English subtitles are perfect though I couldn't tell you as to whether they were accurately translated properly but eh, what the **** do I care? Movie Review: An evil robot kidnaps a prince and is running around raping women for no reason. NEED I SAY MORE? Well yes. This movie is a softcore porn/sci-fi/action movie. It has a lot of funny death scenes, lots of rape, kung fu action, cyber-punk elements, bad acting, boobs, butts, beavers, and EVEN a one-eyed willy. I don't find sex scenes entertaining because it acts as an inconsistency to pacing in films but MY GOD was the boobs on this one chick great. UUUUUUUUH! Conclusion: 4 stars for the DVD and 4 stars for the film.
