    Looks like a character design from a new Darkstalkers game. Hopping vampires are hilarious.


    I've had to dress up as a variation of one on occasion...

    Wait, so do the filmmakers expect chinese people to be able to read the tagline in english? Or is it just supposed to be like when we have random chinese characters we can't read because they look cool?

    @ThisDudeRufus: It's using a bit of that slightly awkward English that seems way too textbook formal to me.


    But to answer your question, yes.

    Does that hopping vampire have rocket launches in its sleeves? I don't remember any of the vampires in the hundreds of Chinese vampire movies I've seen having THAT! HEY!

    @Grey_Area: R.O.A.C.H.: A little bit of irony, a vampire using a flamethrower, regardless of its biological composition. Might as well have it fling crosses while munching on a garlic breadstick while its at it. Which reminds me... hungry.

    Oh oh ooooooooh oh oh ooooooooooh


    Everybody was kung-fu fighting

    Those bots were fast as lightning

    In fact it was a little bit frightning

    But they fought with precise timing


    They were funky Cyber men from funky Dr Who town

    They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down

    It's a modern Robotic art and everybody knew their part

    From a feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip


    Everybody was kung-fu fighting

    Those bots were fast as lightning

    In fact it was a little bit frightning

    But they fought with precise timing


    There was clunky Gungdams and big Transformers

    They said here comes the Go Bots, lets get it on

    They took a bow and made a stand,

    started swinging with metal hands

    The surprising hits made'em scrap

    now they're pounding metal to crap

    @johnnyichiban: Instead, their transformers will be based on rickshaws, bicycles, cars named "Great Wall Wingle", and 40 year old MiGs.
