It has everything - even hopping vampires!

In fact, according to Twitchfilm:

It appears the design on this robot is based off the Jiang Shi, the long-robed, hopping Chinese vampires popularized in the 80's classic Mr. Vampire series.


That's even more obvious when you look at the concept art pictured at right. (For more concept art, check this out.) The movie hits theaters in China in August, and has been picked up for North American distribution. No word on when we'll see it in the West.

A bunch of Asian hopping vampires have teamed up with a bunch of evil drug lords and are killing people and doing evil things. And then, dum dum dum! A mysterious Android Robot is created out of the maimed body of a former narcotics agent. He looks just like Robocop! Except for, well, the costume being made of those shiny silver things you put in your car windshield to block the sun. But nothing in the entire universe can compare to this fight scene between Android Robot and the evil narcotics-selling Hopping Vampires. Seriously, until you watch this clip, you basically haven't lived. If you need to see more of Robo Vampire, you can pick up this amazing gift to the world of cinema here. You won't be disappointed.
