With the popularity of the Robocop movies in Hong
Kong, it was inevitable that someone there would chun out their own
version of the premise. And Robotrix is that movie. It follows the basic
premise up to a point - like Robocop, this movie has a cop killed on
duty who is soon after remade into a robotic crime fighting unit,
afterwards tracking down the creep who did them harm - but with a few
differences.
The cop in this movie is a woman, for one thing.
There's also a lot of kung-fu fighting, plenty of sex, and plenty of
instances where the actresses in the movie take off their clothes. The
graphic violence here is up to the level found in Robocop, but with that
special touch that makes Asian cinema so special. When someone is killed
with a punch to the chest here, we're shown a large circular dent in the
person's chest. Welcome to the wonderful world of Hong Kong cinema!
