I can't believe how so many reviews on this site has given this film such a high rating, they're forgiving and calling it both trashy and fun. It's really neither, it's just really-really bad. I'll admit that I didn't really read anything about this film before I started to watch it, just that it was a Hong Kong film and it was categorized as an Action-Comedy, having the classic Golden Harvest logo showing up at the beginning put me to ease, but then as the film started and moved on, things just got worse and worse.

As soon as the film started I cringed a bit by both the acting as well as the set and thought to myself "Wow, this looks like a porno..." and I didn't have to wait for too long when suddenly it cut to a sex scene, very awkward and made me just uncomfortable. I don't really watch any sex scenes normally, but something about those scenes in this film just looked like the actors performed "air-sex" humping in the air while the other actor did hisher best to act to it.

I'm not sure I should try and explain the plot since it's just really bad. Mad scientist transfer his body to a robot that looks like a muscular human and kidnaps the son to a millionaire and kills our main protagonist, who luckily gets her mind transferred to a robot too that the creators somehow made looking exactly like her former self. After that it's just lots of really boring jokes, dumb acting and bad fight scenes, you can tell from the editing that there actors weren't skilled martial art fighters.

You can tell that the filmmakers has taken some inspiration from Robocop and Terminator, but then completely skipped what made those film great. I know this is a silly softcore comedy, but even Stephen Chow did a better job in his Sixty Million Dollar Man, which I would still call one of his weaker films. For characters being robots, they sure showed lots of emotions and expressions when they got hit during fights, not to mention the whole sex-part, how does that even work when you're a robot? Does it even work that way? I have no idea and it only makes it more mad that I think too much about this film.

I've still given this film 3 out of 10 which might seem kind of me, it's a really bad film, but it's also just over 90 minutes long and had some lazy fight scenes. There are better "Bad films" out there to find, this is not one of them.
