PAST AND PRESENT MEETS IN THIS LAND OF TURMOIL!

Narcotics agent Tom Wilde is given a second chance at life after being shot and killed. In a futuristic experiment, agent Wilde is returned to life as an Android Robot. He is sent on a very dangerous mission into the depths of the golden Triangle to rescue Sophie, a beautiful undercover agent who has been captured by the evil drug warlord Mr. Young and his inhuman creation the Vampire Beast.

Directed* by infamous Hong Kong director Godfrey Ho. Honestly, most of Ho's movies deserve to be featured on this sub, but Robo Vampire is really a special kind of bad.

*He grabbed an existing Thai movie, re-edited it, added extra scenes that he directed himself, and gave it a particularly cheesy English dub.

How'd they get away with having Robocop right there on the cover?

I've heard it was difficult to take action against copyright infringements in Hong Kong in those days. That, and the movie was probably in and out of the theatre in two weeks. Afterwards, it would just sort of fade into obscurity, so why even bother?
