Selina (Chikako Aoyama) is a cop entrusted with the task to guard the son of an oilsheik - however, she is shot dead by a bunch of extremely brutal criminals led by Sakamoto (Lam Chung) and the son of the sheik is kidnapped and held for ransom.

Fortunately though, the sheik is very interested in robotics and calls in Doctor Sara (Hui Hiu-Dan) to give Selina a new lease on life in a robot body that totally resembles her own, plus Doc Sara brings in robot Ann (Amy Yip), to help the police force in crimefighting ...

Thing is, Sakamoto is a bit of a robot buff himself, and before you know it he has transferred his brain and everything into a robot (and is now played by Billy Chow) that is almost invincible. And as this robot he has turned into a prostitute killer, which soon enough puts the police onto his track, and soon enough they decide to use Ann as bait, dressing her up as a prostitute (since she always wanted to experience human sex), and luring Sakamoto to them this way. The plan fails as much as luring Sakamoto is concerned, but Ann as a prostitute is a great success ...

Many a fight, rape and dead prostitute later, the cops, Selina and Ann find Sakamoto's hideout, defeat and decapitate him. However, Doc Sara then takes Sakamoto's robot body and head back to her lab, where he somehow manages to rejoin his parts and attack Doc Sara, whom he has soon enough stripped and raped before the cavallery arrives ... and this time around, on a scrapyard and with the help of a giant magnet and an hydraulic press, they make sure they destroy Sakamoto for good.

David Wu plays Selina's cop boyfriend who has to come to terms with her being a cop as well as his own fear of heights ...

 

A mix of sexploitation and Robocop, played mostly for the laughs but with quite a few gore scenes, and the whole thing starring Amy Yip - in writing that sounds nothing short of great, in a weird and warped way. The film Robotrix though is decidedly less than great, the whole concept seems underdeveloped, the script seems incoherent and permanently indecisive about which way to go next, and Amy Yip once again proves she is not all that much of an actress, and as always she refuxes to get naked (while her co-stars, the cute Hui Hiu-Dan and the well-endowned Chikako Aoyama both have nude scenes. That said, the film isn't all bad, it features some cheap and cheesy 1980's style costumes, some quite accomplished gore scenes, and occasionally it even causes a chuckle or two - it just doesn't live up to its promise ...
