A truly demented Godfrey Ho classic: ROBO VAMPIRE review
Narcotics agent Tom Wilde is shot and killed in the line of duty, but he is brought back to life in a futuristic experiment as a crime fighting RoboCop wannabe with an urge to destroy stuff. Perhaps a side effect of being part man/part machine? Anyway, a sexy female agent is kidnapped by karate dwarfs and vampire beasts, and RoboCop (who looks more like a drugged up hockey player with a tin foil jacket) is then sent on a mission to rescue her. Robo Vampire is a godawful mess. And when a film has a violent robot, a horny gorilla and hopping vampire weirdos who shoot fireballs out of their arms, it’s not allowed to be awful. But director Godfrey Ho (credited here as Joe Livingstone) doesn’t give a shit. If this film had been made by people who knew what they were doing, it could have been amazing. But Godfrey Ho is the biggest goofball in movie history and reportedly he doesn’t even like movies. Robo Vampire is proof of that. It has a couple of funny fighting scenes, but the movie sucks and made me feel slightly drunk.
