"Robo Vampire", from the people who brought you "Ninja Terminator"!
Samurai ghost ,robo vampire what's next dont answer that.
@@40KWAR. Werewolf Cyborg... Zombie-Cop...oh, that's an actual movie.
I was feeling down... Brandon's review just lit me up!
there are 2 more films in the Robo Vampire series
How the hell where you able to watch this shit? Bro and twice even. This has to go on the worst list.
"Undead or alive, you're coming with me."
"My friends call me Murphy. You call me ROBO-CRAP."
In the comic, he fights a Dinosaur, but beforehand he says "Extinct or Alive, you're coming with me"
Slow clap.
Here's a fun fact for ya, apparently Godfrey Ho retired from directing in 1999 and now works as a teacher at the Hong Kong Film Academy.
Could you imagine being taught filmography by the guy who made this?
Thereagain here in Blighty former Prime Minister John Major - the one who pissed off £12 billion on Black Wednesday - nowadays apparently commands six-figure fees for lecturing about economic policy. I bet Godfrey Ho did less damage overall.
Well it makes perfectly sense. Students are expected to do exactly the opposite of what he teaches
You mean my dream teacher?
@@nobbynoris lol the enron oil guy who embezzled all that money taught classes while he was in federal prison
I would love to learn this art from the master!
6:24 - Fun Fact: There are enemies in the Super Mario Land game for Gameboy called "Pionpi" who are hopping vampires directly based on jiangshi.
2.5 million dollar budget? Where they using actual heroin for props? This just further reinforces my thought that these bad movies were made just to launder money.
Launder money?Well...Some producers would make terrible films knowing they would not make money,but then they would file or have insurance claims.Its a little complicated,but this does happen.
Godfrey's salary; $2 499 999.98.
@@thedragonlee76 Literally the plot of "The Producers", but I don't think anyone's insuring productions like this at all. Certainly not if that cable-car stunt is anything to go by.
using cocaine was the only way to come up with that story
I imagine that good sized portion of the movies reviewed on this channel were some sort of money laundering scheme. I know Uwe Boll for sure was doing it but not so much to launder money, they were making those movies in German and Germany had a reimbursement plan to help artists and that includes movie makers so even if they lost money they still made money off the government. I don't know the details because this stuff was talked about several years ago and one of the reasons Uwe Boll is no longer dumping bad movies into the cinema ecosystem is they fixed whatever he was exploiting.
Fun Fact: the hopping and stretched out arms are supposed to be because the body has become stiff (rigor mortis). Knowing this, it makes watching this movie feel weird because they hop around, but can suddenly do martial arts moves with no problem :D
Also the scrolls on their foreheads are historically accurate depictions on how people thought these vampires could be controlled.
@cujoedaman jiang shi a type of vampire
Like Minecraft zombies
🙏👍🤣🤣🤣
@@kruleworld oh no you didn't, couldn't help yourself I see, can't blame you!!!🙏👍🤣🤣🤣👻
The more insane the movie, the better Brandon's review. This film is "The Dragon Lives Again" level nuts.
If only this movie also had Asian Popeye in it too...
@@TheBrandonTenold "Asian Popeye" - now that's something I'd like to see...
Oh "The Dragon Lives Again" 🐉 was WAY more entertaining than this weird mess
@@TheBrandonTenold Brandon, some movies I'd REALLY love to see you review:
1.Robot Monster
2.The Pack
3.The Burning
4.Fire And Ice
5.Godzilla 2000
To be fair, nearly every movie is insane. That is why we keep coming back.
6:19 Funny you made a Mario joke out of those hopping vampires, because they actually ended up being an enemy in Super Mario Land.
i was wondering if anyone mentioned this
@@richardleedahl1308 Same.
Godfrey Ho made ninja movies featuring ninjas” in bright neon garb with headbands that literally said “Ninja” on them. Classic.
5:14 “Can you fly, Bobbie Boy?”
“No… but I can _hop!”_
19:02-19:06
"I can't believe they killed Ted, every time the drug dealers lose a guy, they lose a dummy."
Ok, that part got me good.
Then again, they aren’t very smart.
@@TheRealNormanBates And here's your obligatory...bah dum tiss.
Well, that's because he wasn't Ted Fast and he didn't work alone.
If Brandon would review Who Killed Captain Alex and Lady Terminator next, that'd be really cult-tastic!
You think about the start of RoboCop where you see whole 'rebirth' from the cyborg protagonist's POV and remember how effective that was in building up to the reveal as Robocop himself finally appeared onscreen? Well the building of the cyborg 'supersoldier' in this film looks almost hilariously DIY by comparison. They literally just start welding stuff to him on the hospital bed!
I feel so sorry for the guys who had to play the vampires. All that hopping looks exhausting, and their legs must have been killing them at the end of the day.
One small silver lining is that I'm pretty sure every scene in this film had a maximum of two takes and I don't think there's a second of unused footage. At least they weren't starring in a Kubrick film about hopping vampires.
@@Talisguy That's a good point. I'm pretty sure that in a Kubrick movie their legs would have fallen off. And then Kubrick would have still on insisted on at least twenty more takes.
Godfrey ho: Cut! Let's do It again.
Hopping vampire: son of a b***.
Yes, but think of all the shelves they can reach for their wives!
Play some of the original Riverdance soundtrack at low volume in the background as you're watching and suddenly it all begins to make sense. FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER!
Robo-Vampire looks like how I picture a version of the Shredder in a TMNT movie of my own design
😂😂😂😂
DEAD OR ALIVE, TONIGHT I'LL DINE ON TURTLE SOUP! 😉🤣
I'll forever love it when someone says, "I'll buy that for a dollar!".
14:40 Recent history has taught us that the gang that hoards the toilet paper are definitely the bad guys.
Did I hear a Wilhelm scream rip off in this movie somewhere? It has everything!
It was spliced in with another scream
So if Robo Warrior's costume is spray painted hockey gear, does that make it a Canuxploitation now?
The movie really deserves more attention. ANY movie that has the line "We're hiring Daoist Vampires to help us smuggle drugs" should. The other two sequels aren't good though.
I'll buy a hopping vampire for a dollar!
So this is the good movie out of the Trilogy.
@@remliqa Oh no, Devil's Dynamite is absolutely hilarious as well. You HAVE to see the robo warrior's outfit in that movie.
I'd always read that in Asia zombies were the ones who hopped.
That it was a service that mystics did if your loved one died a long way from home. They'd animate the corpse and have it hop back home. Did make me wonder if hopping all that way meant parts dropping off....
Hopping vampires is a legit bit of folklore from the east. That's why the undead mushrooms in Maplestory are always jumping around like that.
I laughed my ass off at the flirting scene between the ghost lady and the vampire gorilla
I read this before I finished the video and thought you were joking but...... now I’ve seen it.
And now you can watch a vampire make out with a bear in Baldur's Gate 3.
@ahmataevo
It's always nice to meet a fellow Baldur's Gate fan.
9:20 “Since Tom is dead, I’d like to use his body to create an Android-like robot…”
Actually, the technical term is Cyborg.
Irwin Allen could never keep those terms straight, either.
These hopping Vampires are actualy called "Jiangshi" and come from China. They are reanimeted corpses like zombies but normaly hunt at night like vampires. So yeah, the people who made the movie fucked up the day time, when they normaly attack people by absorbing their "Qi" (chi) and not biting them and drinking their blood or even eat them. So, they really didn't knew much about the "Jiangshi"-mythos, when they made this movie.
in hong kong cinema the jiangshi is closer to vampires/zombies with time, until the 70 they are normal traditional chinese zombies, on the 90s they became a generic monster
@@johnDoe-uw2zs Oh man. They couldn't not even one thing right about this mythos. I get your metaphor. After hundreds of years the goverment is sucking us people dry. LOL.
@@diablorojo3887 I knew that these movie existed before. But this is a huge decline of their horrormovie-career, if you think about it. They begun really strong with their mythology and ended up with a generic monster who scares nobody anymore. Just like Hollywood did the same with Werewolves, Vampires, Mutants or something else. But surprisingly Zombies never lost their scariness. I don't know how they doing it. Maybe it is the cause of a zombie outbreak or how they behave. Yeah this is it, I think. And because they just look like humans, too makes those monsters to the most horrifying monsters in the history of every kind of creativity
@@JasonTate08 The reason why zombies never go out of style, is because they are pretty close to humans in consumption, perhaps? (having a never ending hunger that no amount of eating will ever stop)? Also, zombies can be quite single-minded and violent, which feds into the whole "humans are the real monsters" angle that they were always meant to represent? :/
I bought this film on DVD for a dollar at an Army & Navy store, then spent 90 minutes switching between WTF and laughing my ass off.
Best dollar i ever spent.
I loved the silver spray-painted sofa cushion armour on the cyborg, and the love plot between the werewolf, and the ghost with the great rack.
This movie had NO coherent story at all, it was just a bunch of clips pulled out of the bin, and stitched together.
If you LOVE bad movies the way i do, you'll adore Robo-Vampire.
Keep haunting those discount store dollar DVD bins, there's some real treasures buried there.
Now you could proudly show this DVD to friends and say: Now I bought this for a dollar!!! LoL!
@@Ming1975 Oh I HAVE done. :)
I collect movies, I have over 35.000 titles in my collection.
Some of the best, and definitely some of the worst.
Films form all genre's, all countries and going right back to the dawn of the art-form.
In the end, that's what movies are for, their First, Best job is to entertain.
@@Voodoomaria Call me evil but if you had a bunch of friends to act like cultist, you can kidnap your enemies, tie them up on a sofa and force them to watch bad movies for torture. Hahaha! Lets see how they explain that to the police! WAHHAHAHA!
@@Ming1975 I'd start with the Star Wars prequal trilogy... follow up with Ghostbusters 2016, then all the 1984 version of "Dune".
Waterworld, The Postman, Ishtar,
Catwoman with Halle Berry The Charlies Angels movies, Josie and the Pussycats...
ALL of the Mission Impossible movies [I have the original series on DVD so I'm hyper-critical of the utter dreck Cruise put out], The Twilight movies... Oh the Cr*p list is endless.
Utter garbage all
Now, I have the Star Wars flicks because I'm a completionist, so... Yeah, but I've not looked at another Star Wars movie since, NOT when the prequals made the Star Wars Holiday Special look incredible by comparison, and I Ripped a copy of Ghostbusters 2016 and re-burned it with the Plinkett review shown BEFORE the feature for purely educational purposes [he dissects that movie brutally and there is not a single unfair criticism in the lot] but the rest, I'd have to borrow.
One of the WORST though was Divergent.
A friend pirated it off the net, burned it to DVD and we watched about 35 minutes of it, Looked at each other, stopped the film, pulled the disc out of the machine and binned it. He looked at me and said "I just STOLE that movie, and I still feel like I'M the one who got cheated".
I agree completely.
Now if you want an endurance test, try "Death Curse of Tartu" 1966.
It took me six tries to actually watch the whole thing, I'd usually turn it off about 20 minutes in.
If you want REAL pain, watch it in double feature [as it was originally presented in theatres] with "Sting of Death" 1966
The monster in THAT movie is worth every minute of the agony you will endure to get to the "Big reveal".
I never laughed so hard in my life.
I was literally in tears for about 15 minutes.
Yeah... when it comes to movies I COULD hurt someone....
But like a martial artist, By the time I've reached this skill level, I'm also disciplined enough to use my powers wisely.
Rejoice in my beneficence.
"No animals were harmed in the making of OHSHITASNAKE! [machine gun fire]"
Anyone else hear that creepy background music from Mystics in Bali in this movie, or just me?
The Riftrax of this is hilarious. Suspect the monster mating scene was also heavily inspired by opiods and hashish, maybe.
I once made the mistake of buying a few Rifftrax on Humble Bundle. Their forced humour did not land with me. I prefer Brandon Tenolds' Riffs to any one of them.
Ah, _Robo Vampire._ I first heard of this movie on a (now defunct) site called Encyclopedia Obscura, I'd say about in 2004.
"You can tell they're vampires because they hop around in broad daylight" That's because those are Jiangshi. They're reanimated corpses that hop around due to their bodies going through rigor mortis and they actually feed on 'Qi' (which is like one's lifeforce), they're called 'Chinese vampires' but they're not really vampires in the European sense nor do they share the same weaknesses as European vampires. Though I don't blame Brandon for not knowing what they are as they're not often represented in media, the only other time I can think about Jiangshi being in some form of media is the character Hsien-ko from the Darkstalkers series.
After they started moving around, rigor mortis would go away.
@@shinmusashi44 Yes, and then corpses start getting stiff again later on.
funfact: actual chinese vampires exist, and are completely different from the jiang shi usually called that(which are vampires in descriptor, not proper, more like something like vrykolakas to make a europe comparison). the proper vampires are 吸血鬼.
He did technically mention the name of the vampire and the culture it comes from.
Godfrey Ho, now that's a name I haven't heard since Cinema Snob covered his movies staring Pier Kirby.
Buzz Lightyear had a robot vampire called NOS-482. That's what I thought when I heard the title
Actually it's NOS-4-A2, but yeah
The second film in a row that I've already seen before Brandon reviewed it. Took 7+ years for it to happen, though!
This film is nuts, and (incredibly) becomes more incomprehensible as it goes on. But it's never dull, so I guess there's that.
When CHCH in Toronto stopped playing Italian films in the early-mid Nineties, they started playing Hong Kong films instead. I don't remember if they played this one, but I do remember Mr. Vampire, The Magic Crane and Encounter of the Spooky Kind. Good times.
I remember watching a lot of hongkong movies including this one on Star Channel back in the 90's.
This hopping vampire cultural mythology is interesting. Check it out sometimes. The vampires evolve from this stage to several others.
I like how the snake attacked by just throwing another snake out of the box at him.
When i was a teenager, i had a dream where a midget witch vampire jumped at me onto my shoulder and caused me to wake up screaming just before it bit down.
Nice to know, someone else had that dream and made a movie out of it.
YES! Glad you're doing this one. I love the Rifftrax and Obscurus Lupa review!
Chinese vampiers hop because of rigor mortis Mr vampier taught me that.
Pity they dont make films like this anymore as the ccp bans anything with supernatral plots.
The problem with that is rigor mortis only last a little while and can easily be reversed by moving the area. If these were real, they wouldn't have rigor mortis
Hey! Who Killed Captain Alex is a wonderful piece of cinema! It has passion and VJ EMMIE behind it.
"VJ EMMIE ON DA MICROPHOOOONNNE!"
I remember seeing this movie in the video store when I was a kid. I thought the cover looked awesome and I wanted to rent it so bad but my mom looked at it and laughed and said nope.....
2.5 million USD for a movie that probably cost them 50K to make?
Definitely money laundering!
The hopping thing is because for that kind of vampire their knees are locked up so hopping is how they move. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiangshi
12:32 I think it’s actually just called Chinese Water Torture. Although, typically she would be strapped down to a table for that.
In fairness, whilst this is a legitimately bad movie on its own merits, the behavior of the "vampires" actually does make sense; this is a Chinese film, and those "vampires", are Jiang-shi, a term that more literally translates as something "Stiff Corpses". Despite their tendency to be translated into English as "Vampires", in their mythology, they're actually closer to zombies, and are usually the product of evil Tao sorcery. So, yeah, the corpse-like appearance and running around in daylight are actually mythologically accurate, which is surprising for a movie like this.
"Chinese water torture" is also real (supposedly, or at least it's in other literary sources, not something the people who made this movie came up with themselves), but the idea is that you keep someone restrained for a really long time, and the repetitive, slightly annoying thing combined with the prolonged inability to stop it will *eventually* make them depressed or angry enough to be desperate for release from it.
Not that anyone will actually be in pain from a little bit of water dripping on them.
@@macdeus2601 Scary thing is, this nearly mentally broke a person on Mythbusters. X_x
Ah, back in the days when all you needed to make a film was a camera, some friends, half an editing suite and a big bag of drugs.
And pieces of a previous, forgotten movie padding the run time.
Big bag of drugs huh? I think I know where most of that 2.5 million dollar budget went
when i was first getting into good bad movies back in mid 2000s i went to the local used dvd store. a $5 copy of this was the first one i got, and i still have it in my weird movie dvd shelf.
and yes, there is a Robo Vampire 3: Counter Destroy (also released as The Vampire is Still Alive). i think it's still available on Tubi.
Yeah the Chinese vampires like to hop. But I guess vampires in general have gotten away from the whole impaling thing.
Do they sing, too? Are Chinese Vampires Hop Sing?
boo
They are Chinese zombies they are called Jiangshi it's what they are based on
The reason all the extras all had short careers was because Godfrey Ho found it cheaper to use real ammunition.
Wow just wow. There's a lot going on. The poster is oddly fairly accurate. This is definitely one of the most bizarre films you've reviewed. I was just so relieved Robo survived his "short circuit". Also the gondola explosion stunt looked insanely dangerous. Followed by "Nobody gets away from me." Who the f**k is he? At 19:48 did Robo just like pull a hop & hover? He just floats there? I feel your pain Tenfold. Anyway the blonde actress looked so bombed. Everytime she's on screen she behaves like she's ripped, definitely high. It's too bad Robo didn't turn the flamethrower onto all the film stock. Well that's all I got let me hop away.
P.S. Your ending was way better.
9:18 "It looks like they are having nightterrors about playing a Mario game."
Mario does actually fight chinese vampires in Super Mario Land.
6:21 Funnily enough there were hopping vampires in Super Mario Land for the Gameboy. There, they're known as "Pionpi", and can be seen in the first 2 levels of World 4, the Chai Kingdom.
If you want something extremely weird that involves hopping vampires you ought to check out the "Mr. Vampire" series, it's pretty funny (intentionally), well at least the first one I've personally watched.
The whole series is quite fun, as well as its companion (ehm, ripoff?) series New Mr. Vampire. There's also a ton of unofficial sequels.
For a genuinely scary and well made hopping vampire movie, try "Rigor Mortis" from 2013.
can’t believe you’ve missed a ‘monster smash’ pun opportunity for the zombie gorilla and ghost lady romance subplot 😂 but srsly one more gr8 review, you never fail to cheer up ))
"A person's imagination can be as weird but fascinating. But it's even weirder if you express it in a film"
- Me.
Nice ice cream koan.
Loved this movie and the rebooted sequel. The third seemed like 15 minutes of spare footage from the first two, poorly mixed with an entirely separate movie. But the last 10 minutes had the most shocking and insane thing I've ever witnessed in any movie ever. Somehow it's still up on YT, and I have no idea why it hasn't been flagged 😂
I watched this movie when I was 8. I haven't come across it since, but I clearly remember hopping around with my friend for weeks afterwards imitating the hopping vampires!!!! good job once more.
You’re the best Brandon! The 🐐 of watching terrible movies!
"...taking footage from one movie, then adding a bit of his own footage and repackaging it as an entirely new movie."
So basically what Woody Allen did 1966 with "What's Up Tiger Lily?"
I wouldn't buy that for a dollar, but Brandon sure would!
I discovered this movie in a boxed set packaged with "Death Machines", and I was just as confused as you are.
14:25 "i'm afraid he short circuited..."
Haha..cracked me up...
Thanks to Neon Harbor, I know who Godfrey Ho is. Ninjas were taken to a whole new level. Good cheesy fun.
One of my favorite "WTF" movies; I have it in that Millcreek compendium of international cheese, SCI FI INVASION. I've watched it five times, seen three reviews, including yours, and I still have no idea what is going on.
I have seen a couple of reviews of this movie but your humor and review make it seem fresh. Thanks!
Hold on, this movie had a budget of $2.5 million?! What, did the director and studio make a deal where he got to keep any unused money from the budget?
Maybe someone got confused between US and HK dollars...
@@andrewgwilliam4831 That's still a lot of money unless Hong King had horrible inflation back then. Honestly, this movie looks like it was made on $2,500.
@@truefanforum3273 the guns alone probably costed 2500
@@kimjongoof5000 Good point.
I pirated this movie off WinMX way back in the day and I have loved it ever since. Took a while to learn about why the vampires act the way they did and how the movie got made, but everything I learned made me appreciate it more and more. I watch this movie for fun at least a few times a year.
Perhaps no one saw it coming, but Brandon is basically the only decent, drama free ex Channel Awesome creator left.
How tied to Channel Awesome was he, though? I mean, outside of a single cameo by Brad Jones, I don't recall him really having too much involvement with the others, so it could be his is the only drama free channel left simply because of how isolated it was from the rest of Channel Awesome....Although, that said, speaking of Brad Jones, I would consider his channel pretty drama free, too. I mean, he seems to be on good terms with Doug, Phelous, and Lupa, and seems to be everyone's mutual, so......Eh, I guess there's that.
@@eugeneturner7520 I'm pretty sure Brad also had a massive falling out with Allison and Phelan a while back.
Linkara, Nash, Maven, Lupa and Phelous there are others...and it less drama and more the fallout of the Walkers shitty work policy and treating their employees/partners and at the time friends like shit.
@@andrewgwilliam4831 You're right, they were on good terms for while after the channel awesome incident, but after Brad in a interview made an insensitive joke about people not being provided food during the making of one of the channels movies she caught off all contact and removed all the videos she made with him from her channel.
@@viraltang jeffrey star is even worse and people still worships him
Your ending was the happiest one possible...lol
This is one of those movies you see scrolling through TUBI and always wonder if you want to see it or not.
How delightfully insane this film is. Great video, Brandon 🤘🏻♥️
I think I first heard of this movie on Cinemassacre, when it was reviewed by Mike Metai. I am aware of the rather infamous work of Mr. Godfrey Ho, and all of his movies truly look, as Strong Bad would say, crazy go nuts. Really should check out Mr. Ho's movies at some point. :D
I learned about Godfrey Ho via the Cinema Snob. By extension, I also learned about the legend, Pierre Kirby (and the Chuck McGun Keith Coogan looking guy too).
As a really long-time fan of your show, the second I saw that clinch at 1:54 and 16:32, I immediately thought "Jon-Mikl Thor/The Intercessor vs. Satan in Rock n' Roll Nightmare"!!!
Not Chinese but can confirm that daily heroin use will leave you with some vampiric traits after a while. Say what you will about the quality, as a formed junkie I have to appreciate the realism of Robo Vampire.
I've watched this a couple times now and my thought process can still best be written out as 'Wha.... bwuh... HUH.' I have seen few movies that feature Jiangshi and handle them well. And after seeing this... that still holds true!
I first discovered this movie in the $2 dvd bin back in 2002. One of my favorite so bad it’s good movies. My friends and I laughed so hard during this movie. It was worth every dollar.
So it's worth $2? 😂
I have watched this movie and has achieved a true mystic level of badness it has crossed the event horizon of badness to achieved the legendary "It's so bad it's strangely enjoyable" it's badly dubbed, it's badly filmed, it's incoherent and it's edited out of more than one movie but some how all this bad combined is sort of fascinating and you weirdly keep watching it.
I have it in one of my Mill Creek 50-packs but I've never managed to get all the way through it 😖

There is indeed a "Robo Vampire 3" - at least according to the movies (german) wikipedia article: "Robo Vampire 3 - Counter Destroy"
its on tubi right now. well im the US at least
Taking a guess a lot of the budget went to purchasing the drugs
Thank you for bringing up the fact hopping vampires are a folklore thing
Some of the best humorous comments ever.
Love your work.
You should definitely check out the Mr Vampire movies. The first one is a classic and is pure fun to watch.
The vampires hop around like that because they are recently dead and the Riga Mortis hasn't fully worn off.
I keep saying this, been saving your videos as workout videos so i'll catch this one later. Always interesting, always funny. Your sense of humour fits in perfectly with British taste.
Wow! After thirty years I finally get what those hopping enemies in SuperMarioLand1 on Game Boy were! I'm talking about those in the Asian styled level which cannot be killed by jumping on them.
There is a character from capcoms fighting game Darkstalkers named Hsien-Ko who is a Jiangshi and she does hold out her arms like she's sleep walking and does hop around.
Man, I hope Brandon does all the sequels to this movie.
I've seen Robo Vampire on Amazon Prime before it changed its name to Prime Video, Devil's Dynamite is definitely a different Godfrey Ho Film, I watched Counter Destroyer on TH-cam, and it was Great, Godfrey Ho's Films are Great. 🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍
Vampire Robocop, it already sounds weird enough.
The 2,5 million budget is probably in the local currency.
At the time Honk Kong Dollars were around 100 to 1 US Dollar, so...
The alternative is that they included the budget for all the drugs they may have used while filming this.
Seems like there was a lot of shady animal abuse in some Hong Kong films around this time. "The Men Behind The Sun" was made around the same time as this, IIRC.
This was awesome, and now i must see this craziness in full.
Would be hilarious if they made Robo Vampire vs Lady Terminator. 🤣
This is the first Brandon Tenold review that I haven't been able to watch through to the end because the film is THAT bad. I genuinely pity the people of Hong Kong if this was the usual standard of film they got to watch in the cinema back then.
Those 'chinese/hopping vampires' are probably Jiang-shi. A Chinese folklore creature that's got a bad case of rigor-mortis which is why they hop around. BTW the tags on the forehead are the source of control (or maybe their life)
Ngl I like the soundtrack to this movie, it feels like I’m on a spaceship full of bloodthirsty aliens and I’m trying to hide in a vent from them
That budget is accurate. They counted the drugs in the budget, since they were real and the crew used them up during filming.
This might be the best take on a VPN ad. "My audience are degenerates. They need one."
