This 1991 Hong Kong action/cheesecake/science fiction/cop movie has been variously described as “Charlie’s Angels meets The Terminator” and “a Chinese Robocop invested with the spirit of Russ Meyer.” Libidinous scientists create sexy robots for lots of high tech S&M. Skin-tight lab coats, rape scenes, and power drills are all part of the picture.
