"Since Tom's dead. I'd like to use his body to make an android-like robot, Mr Glenn."
This is, let's be clear from the start, a bloody awful film. Yes, the dialogue is awful. And it's awful throughout. See "Listen, we must find a way to handle Tom, that goddamn anti-drug agent." Yes, marvel at the crude, "as you know, Bob" exposition.
The poster, of course, in no way invokes RoboCop, released the previous year. But the film isn't so much of a straight rip-off as a mish-mash of bonkers ideas. It is,indeed, a series of set pieces and bonkers dialogue. One cannot help but love its un-selfconscious rubbishness.
I mean, there are "Dao vampires", who jump like rabbits and serve the Hong kong drug lords for some reason. That there is a ghost who resents that she has been denied afterlife with her beloved and vows revenge with gloriously terrible dialogue... "You can kill us, but not until our love is consummated".
Yes, quite. Such naturalistic dialogue..
She then proceeds to work for the baddies in return for marrying her vampire beloved. And it can't be stressed how terrible said vampires look.They have Rice Krispies on their faces, and the jumping about is... yeah.
I thought this film would be enyertaingly rubbish. I mean, it's by Godfrey Ho, rhe king of dun B-moviesa, But... wwll, this fulm does havew many entertaninglynrubbish moments. But I cannot ewmphasise how shite it is,
If you much watch this film, prodigious quantities of alcohol are utterly essewntial. Teetotalers shouls avoid at all costs.
