Three phonegirls at an international hotel in Hong Kong listen in on a
conversation of one of their guests rather by accident and hear about an
assassination plot. The next day, a couple is killed by a falling pig (!)
- and of course, our girls immediately see a connection. Next they hear
about a carbomb placed in their boss's car ... and they do everything in
their power, be it legal, illegal or simply obnoxious, to keep him from
driving his car. He doesn't believe the girls one word, but when they haul
him out of the car just in time and he sees it exploding, he is enormously
grateful (understandably) and grants them a week of paid vacation on his
yacht. Unfortunately, someone has planted zombies of the yacht to get rid
of the girls. Of course, they defeat all the odds against them in the end
... But what's behind all of this? Quite simple: The black ninjas want
to take over Hong Kong's hotel business, and the girls' boss stands in
their way. As do, by the way, the purpe ninjas and their top fighter, Lady
Ninja. So the black ninjas reverted to black magic to resurrect a handful
of zombies to let loose on the girls and a couple of hopping vampires to
take care of Lady Ninja. But of course, Lady Ninja comes out on top in the
end! One of your typical Filmark/Godfrey Ho
ninja-cut-and-paste jobs, this one is based on a horror comedy about three
hotel phonegirls - so what better plot to complement it than ninjas using
hopping vampires to try to take over the Hong Kong hotel business, right? Well,
wrong of course, but that doesn't mean the film isn't at least
entertaining in a so-bad-it's-good way. Granted, not the best of the
cut-and-paste-ninja films of its day and age, and it's also not as funny
as Godfrey Ho's incongruous masterpiece Robo
Vampire, but if you're into the cheap, the camp, the weird, you'll
probably find something to chuckle about in The Vampire Raiders.
