Blasted to bits in the line of duty, narcotics agent Tom Wilde is reborn as a bulletproof cyborg and sent straight back on the job (sound familiar?). His mission: storm the drug-soaked jungles of the Golden Triangle and rescue an undercover agent from the grip of Mr. Young — a sadistic cartel boss who wields black magic and commands a horde of hopping vampires, thugs and other undead killers.
A collision of bargain-bin sci-fi, action, kung fu and supernatural sleaze, stitched together with zero regard for any continuity or logic. Often erroneously credited to director Godfrey Ho, Robo Vampire shamelessly rips off RoboCop and drops him into a world of hopping vampires, ghostly rituals, and endless explosions. The results are a gloriously incoherent brain glitch that plays like a 1980s greatest hits reel of bootleg VHS clips. Every scene feels like it was shot for a different movie, yet somehow, someway it all adds up to a truly astonishing and unforgettable experience.
