China’s Answer to Megan Fox and Those Robots


So how does China copy the Transformers? First off, you don’t employ a smokin’ hot lead actress. Second, you make everyone kind of regular looking (or slightly effeminate). Third, you make those robots do Kung Fu and fourth… you spend 1/10th the budget to produce it!

Coming out on August 13th, “Kung Fu Cyborg” lacks the massive “WTF sometimes” spectacle that is a signature of Michael Bay movies. Instead, it replaces it with a story (how novel!), human relationships, romance and comedy with a clearly SciFi twist. So basically Transformers with no Megan Fox, fewer somewhat pointless robot battles and people trying hard to act out a real story instead of a random sequence of events that Michael Bay thought looked cool strung together.

I’m sure we’ll be seeing this one at a Chinese Night Market near you. The badly dubbed English sub titles (or voiceovers) will be worth the entertainment value alone.

Hello Stephen! I don’t know if you work on your scooter or not. If you do, in the August “CycleWorld Magazine,” on the next to last page, Harbor Freight has an ad with a coupon good for a hundred bucks off of their 1000 lb capacity cycle lift. (for $299) I’d wanted one for quite a while….For forty years I’ve been crawling around on the groud working on cars, trucks, motorcycles, lawn mowers, you name it. Or, on a cold concrete hanger floor crawling around up under an aircraft.The next day feeling OOOLLLLDDDD!!I ripped the coupon out of the magazine and drove my old truck 60 miles to Dothan, Alabama and bought one! (this Scooter “Habit” I’ve got keeps my savings account looking really rough! at least it’s not drugs, or gambling. But, expensive nontheless!lol!) Yesterday I installed a set of Dr.Pulley Sliding Weights in my variator, sitting in my desk chair, in 50 minutes! Things are much better on this end! Blessings! Gabe

I almost forgot… We don’t have any Chinese folks around here. We’re so far back in the woods people have to really want to get here to find us. (and, it suits us fine! lol!) There Was a Vietnamese Restaurant here for awhile about ten years ago. However,before too long, people started missing their dogs and cats and quit eating there! They relocated to Atlanta or Tallahassee, somewhere that folks weren’t so touchy about what they eat! You’ve probably eaten both dog and cat stephen in some of that stuff you eat. Cusine that any respectable Cajun would run and hide from! Let the Cajun go first, I always say. If he gets anxioius about what’s on the buffet then go to McDonalds! This is the same reason that the Coal miners used to carry a bird in a cage down into the mines with them. The bird smelled gas first and started carrying on, and they got out of there! Hang in there Bro! Later, Gabe

Chinese are very expert in copy not only in movies rather in every field. any way when i will see this movie then i will say some thing about it. I have seen your video and i don’t seems that movie will be interesting.

I like this Chinese version better…more true emotion, the scenes look like works of art in lighting & color & composition instead of just scene after scene of mind numbing special effects & explosions as in the american version of transformers….

i live in california & I’m tired of most US blockbuster films…

thanks for the clip!!

Its not easy. The reason why we can think is both our logical reasoning capabilities, as well as knowledge. Reasoning capabilities comes with our mind, but its the knowledge that we learn ever since we’re born.

The hard thing would be to program all those knowledge and experience to assist the robot in making logical reasoning and decisions.

The Jetson’s version of a robotic world is not here as of yet. Robot’ are only capable of simple programmable tasks. Even the most complex are governed by a strict set of rules, usually programmed in the software controller.

Factory robots: These machines do repetitive tasks without tiring and with perfect precision every time. Like picking up large pieces of sheet metal, moving them and painting them or welding pieces together. No decisions, no intelligence.

I have seen many Chinese movies which is based on technology like this one, but it seems quite different.

It could be better, if china invest money to any other movie idea rather than copy any Hollywood movie. :)

I saw the video on the Yahoo! homepage, and I started thinking. What if robots began to get a mind of their own like in I, robot. I don’t want murderous robots roaming the earth. I’m surprised I’m not afraid of the Rumba.

I saw something on the History Channel, I think, where they said how robots COULD take over the world. We already use sooo many robots and computers ( ;-) ) in everyday life. So far all these computers and robots and the like are working in our favor.

Hello Stephen,It’s 75 degrees (F) here and I just returned from riding my scooter 90 miles!(45-47mph @117mpg) Give the Chinese some time.I can remember when we used to snicker when something fell apart before it should’ve that was “Made In Japan!” With modern Computerized manufacturing, and WalMart begging for their Junk, er …products. Accompanied by the rest of us buying stuff made in America, or at least Taiwan,like my Yamaha C3 Scooter.Give the Chinese five years, and their products will be as good as anywhere else.This should really make buying a new scooter of any size a real hoot!

Haha – I see what you mean about the slightly feministic look of the lead guy! And as for replacing Megan Fox – couldnt they have done any better?
