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.

"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-dan 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.

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.

"Robotrix" is like a Russ Meyer movie with robots and futuristic hardware. It is not terribly well made and it is totally confusing, but it is never boring -- not the uncut version, anyway. There is a graphic rape scene that is scissored from some versions, so make sure you see the film in its glorious uncut state. Mammary-heavy Amy Yip is "Robotrix", a Robocop-like creation who is enlisted to hunt down a renegade robot that goes haywire. Despite Yip's reputation as a sex goddess, she was quite coy about her body in most HK movies (the great "Erotic Ghost Story" excepted). In this occasionally sleazy outing, the nudity honors go to the stunning Chikako Aoyama, a woman with a body to render non-stop chatterboxes speechless.

I finally sat myself down to see 'Robotrix' in its entirety. Having previously skipped a few chapters already to see what it looked like, I knew what I was in for. And the time was ripe now, since I felt in the mood for it. 'Robotrix' is a pretty damn hilarious kungfu-cyborg cheese-fest with lots of nudity, rapes (robots apparently do love to rape, and the female victims don't even seem to mind it that much), over the top violence & bloodshed and incredible idiotic attempts at humor. All this in a plot that doesn't seem to make the slightest bit of sense and is unaware of the fact that a conclusion of some sort always helps to wrap things up. Pretty insane flick, crappy special effects included. I liked it. But let me remind you that it's a bad movie: 3/10... Oh wait,... I just checked its page on here. It's supposed to be a comedy??? That changes things: 7/10! Haha.
