A drug-lord recruits Chinese vampires to protect his business from government narcotics agents. When one of their people is captured, the authorities not only send in a rescue team but also create an indestructible cyborg to take on the enemy.I knew it, I knew it! Although my copy of Robo Vampire names (blames?) someone called Joe Livingstone as director, everything I saw screamed Godfrey Ho. The insane, disjointed story (the result of two or more films badly spliced together); the crappy kung fu; the awful dubbing; the ridiculous special effects: Ho's inimitable touch was all over this nonsense.Featuring quite possibly the worst RoboCop rip-off ever (the cyborg's suit is made from padded silver lamé), a hopping vampire in a rubber gorilla mask with fireworks up its sleeves (?!?!), a yucky scene in which a woman packs heroin inside the stomach of a dead animal, a female ghost who bares her breasts in order to distract her foes, and numerous badly stuffed dummies being thrown about in poorly choreographed fight scenes, this has to be one the most bonkers and least comprehensible efforts in Ho's canon. Consequently, it also proves to be one of his more entertaining efforts.6.5 out of 10, rounded up 7 for IMDb.

When I got this movie 6 years ago, I knew what I was getting into but one thing threw me off. I thought it was a Japanese-made movie considering the..."vampires" and that half the main cast (including the stunt doubles that if you catch it in time change genders, lose their hair, turn grey, grow a Fu-Manchu and revert within 3/4 of a second{won my vote for awesomeness}]) were Caucasian and the other half were Japanese but whatever. I gotta say, for cheesiness sake, I recommend this movie for a nostalgia night and is a good watch. the movie itself sucks and for that reason, wins. It sucks so bad, it is good unlike D****n Ball (does not deserve the name. so non-cannon it hurts).If I were to rate this, I'd say it deserves a 6/10. It isn't too bad of a movie, though the sub plots hit the fan half way through and considering the crap on TV and movies lately, it is fun for all ages. The kids won't learn a damn thing from this movie that they don't hear in the house or on the street. (kids are smarter than you may realize) Get it! I urge you. Totally worth the money you spend for it!

Words can't put the sheer incompetence of this film into perspective. You can read the other posts for specifics, but trust me: this one hurts. I highly recommend dropping $2-3 to buy this on ebay. It will make for a very enjoyable evening of bad cinema.

Being a fan of "B" movies, I've seen my share of enjoyable bad movies. Movies such as "Manos" the Hands of Fate, or Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town, so I thought I was ready for anything. I was very wrong!!!!I don't have to be careful about spoiling the plot, because there wasn't one. Honestly!!! This movie gives you a behind the sceenes look at the movie business. How the studios are at war with each other. How they fight over the rights for movies. How they summon demons and vampires to kill the competition. YES, you read right there.One of the most off the wall movies I've seen. Just when you think you've got the plot, they completely change it on you, and make it a new movie. Jumping vampires with paper teeth, Freddy Kruger lookalike demons, Captian Power. I was waiting for Martha Stewart to pop out.Overall I'd say this movie ISN'T for the weak of heart, head or stomache. I'd rather watch a Swartzinegger movie.
