“Robotrix” (“Nu ji xie ren”) stars Chikako Aoyama as Linda, a murdered cop who is brought back to life as an android warrior, EVE R27. This is so she can fight an evil scientist, who becomes a robot to stalk prostitutes on the streets of Hong Kong; the evil scientist, Ryuichi Sakamoto is played by Chung Lam, but his robot is played by Billy Chow. Now, obviously this 1991 Hong Kong film directed by Jamie Luk is inspired in part by “Robocop,” but in addition to throwing some science-fiction and Jack the Ripper elements into the Hong Kong action, there are also some edgy soft-core sex scenes involving Linda and her boyfriend. So what we have here is a most unusual mix of elements, because while the rest of this film goes off in the direction of big time action with a huge twist of camp, the sex scenes seem like they were spliced in from a different movie (the Taiwanese version apparently has a comic scene set in a police station that is not in the print, so maybe this idea is not too far fetched). More fun than you would have thought to be sure. On the DVD edition this film letterboxed, and the dialogue is in Cantonese and Mandarin with English subtitles. However, the VHS edition, also letterboxed, is dubbed into English. Your choice. Choose wisely.
