Average customer review:Product Description
Robocop meets Red Shoe Diaries in this cheerfully cheesy sci-fi-exploitation flick directed by Jamie Luk. Set in the near future when robot technology has created some strikingly human-like products, the film opens with loonball Japanese scientist pervert Ryuichi Sakamoto (Lam Chung), transferring his consciousness into one of his cyborg creations, which immediately becomes a killing and raping machine. One of its victims is police officer Selena Lam (Chikako Aoyama), whose body and mind get resurrected and transformed into the ass-kicking android Eve-27 by Dr. Sara (Hiu-Dan Hui). The scientist also downloads her own personality into Ann (Amy Yip), her well-endowed robot assistant, who longs to experience sexual congress. Together the three follow the trail of dead prostitutes back to Sakamoto and his fiendish creation.

Fast, furious, sexy fun
Jamie Luk directs this cheesy, breezy action flick that suggests a (near) future scenario when robot technology creates lifelike, but incredibly agile and powerful cyborgs. A warped Japanese scientist kidnaps a wealthy shiek's son, then transfers his own intelligence into an android and basically dares the world to stop him. He then goes on a raping and killing spree, targeting mainly prostitutes. Lovely police officer Selena Lam (Chikako Aoyama) who was killed while trying to protect the sheik's son, is given new life, Robocop-style, as a mean fighting machine (but still great-looking) and given the mission of doing battle with the evil android. Assisting her are beautiful robot creator Dr. Sara (Hiu-Dan Hui), her stunning and big-chested mechanical alter ego (Amy Yip) and Selena's boyfriend and fellow cop, who is unaware that she has been "changed". Goofiness, action, sex, nudity, violence and brutality ensue. Except for some jarring scenes of sexual assault, the whole mess is very entertaining. The cast and crew put a lot of energy into the production, but also slipped in some weird Japanese slapstick humor (especially involving Selena's fellow cops, who are male, quite horny and inept). Selena also has some touching scenes with her boyfriend, exploring the question: What would you do if you just had fantastic sex with someone, only to find out later that they were really dead and their mind had been transferred to a machine? Serious question, indeed, but no time for that, the world must be saved! Robotrix is a kind of live-action anime, definitely not for kids. (This review is for the re-mastered, uncut version).
Wild, Crazy film - not for the kiddies!
If tou like crazy films like "the Story of Riki", then you eill like Robotrix. Its so outrageously violent that it had me laughing through the whole film. There are often comparisons to this film and Robocop; I think one some levels there are similarities but Robotrix is more violent.
The story centers around a cyborg with poor impulse control who goes on a murderous rampage, while taking time to commit acts of rape along the way. Police create their own cyborg to fight the bad guy, which results in more mayhem (yep, crazy killing,raping robots).
Totally crazy, but entertaining nonetheless.
