     The Golden Harvest Volume 1: Supernatural Shockers has been a wild ride to say the least.  I knew very little about this set prior to buying it but nothing would have prepared me for the amount of nudity and laughs contained inside the set.  After five films so far, the final film was finally here which was bitter sweet.  While I do look forward to checking out the film, I was not ready to put the sleazy comedies behind me.  Regardless, it was finally time to check out the 1991 sci-fi comedy Robotrix from the same director as Doctor Vampire.  

     The film follows an evil robot with the brain of a human that is killing and raping beautiful women while committing other various crimes.  To combat the robot, a recently slain female office is transformed into a robotrix to stop him.

     Robotrix is probably the most mild of the set but that doesn't mean it's not without the sleaze.  It's raunchy, funny, and the sci-fi aspect makes it a stand out within the set.  However, it's not as raunchy and funny as the previous films which is another reason it stands out from the other Cat III films.  The acting in this one may be the best in the set but that doesn't mean it's stand out performances.  There is some very likable characters but a good portion of the cast blends into the background.  The story for this one is a wild blend of sci-fi, action, and comedy with the uncomfortable rape elements.  The comedy doesn't always find it's laugh but I liked the action and storyline we have.  I wish more time was spent around the building and creation of the robots but you can't expect a film focused on nudity to spend that much time crafting a story.  Finally, the film had some great practical effects for the robots and set design.  However, it doesn't have the blood I was hoping for.  Nudity is a check but none of the red stuff.  Overall, Robotrix is another flick that is very enjoyable but may not have the impact you are expecting especially if you spent the day watching the other films in the set.  Regardless, it's still worth a watch!
