Robo Vampire - 2 stars

“Robo Vampire” has the distinction of being the Godfrey Ho (“Ninja Terminator”) films I have seen without the word ‘ninja’ in the title. Like many of his other movies, it splices together new footage with existing footage from some obscure film. On many of the posters for “Robo Vampire”, the makers seemed to have outright stolen an image of RoboCop. However, the version of RoboCop in this film looks worse than the one in “Be Kind Rewind”.

Parts of the movie focus on a cyborg cop gunning down hopping Chinese vampires (yes you read that right) while other parts appear to be about Thai people battling gangsters. The two plots have been tied together very loosely by shoddy editing and dubbing.

The RoboCop rip-off looks absolutely awful. Not since “Wasp Woman” have I see such a laughable costume. The amusingly bad outfit for the cyborg will no doubt make you chuckle but what will make you chuckle even more is the hopping vampires. The characters from the other film are really boring. Who wants to watch a bunch of random people when you can watch a goofy cyborg fight hopping vampires? The ways the film tries to have the characters from the two different films interact are beyond pathetic.

If you have seen “Ninja Terminator”, “The Ninja Squad” or any of the other Godfrey Ho movies, you know what you are getting yourself in for. You are going to get two films that are not even necessarily from the same genre forced together and the whole thing is going to look like it could have been shot in your friend’s basement over the weekend. The best thing about “Robo Vampire” really is the poster. In fact, just look at that and save yourself the ninety minutes you would waste by watching the movie.
