Subyek: Future X Cops | 2010 | DVDRip Sun Oct 03, 2010 9:20 am
Wong Jing, you make this too easy. Hong Kong’s most infamous filmmaker returns to his own vomit with Future X-Cops, a remake of his 1993 cringe-fest Future Cops. Actually, calling Future X-Cops a remake is unfair because the original Future Cops lifted from The Terminator, Fight Back to School and the Capcom video game Street Fighter II, among others. Thankfully, Future X-Cops isn’t dumb enough to steal from a questionably adaptable video game, but it more than compensates with its lousy visual effects and general crappiness. Add in Wong Jing’s substandard screenwriting and direction and you get an obvious result: a bad movie. The big mystery: is Future X-Cops so bad that it’s good?
Andy Lau stars as Kidd Zhao, a cop from the year 2080. Word gets out that genetically-enhanced bastard Kalon (Fan Siu-Wong) and his gene-spliced gang are out to kill Dr. Masterson (Ma Jing-Wu), inventor of the future’s clean energy source, so the future cops brace for an attack at the museum Masterson is attending. The cops save Masterson, but they don’t prevent Kalon and pals from getting away with a time travel device, meaning Kalon will surely head back in time to the year 2020 to kill Masterson and prevent the future from ever happening. The film’s first big action sequence involves the baddies’ attack on the museum, but their theft of the time travel device? Not shown and related entirely through exposition. And hey, how do the cops know Kalon’s exact plans? No idea, but they just do. Twenty minutes in and Future X-Cops is already pushing for the bad moviemaking Hall of Fame.
