I Love Maria 4K 1988 Ultra HD 2160p

Story Movie

The so-called "Gang of Heroes" is terrorizing civilians by unleashing its creation—the giant, deadly robot Pioneer 1—onto the streets. The gang’s leader, however, believes that the scientists working for him are capable of much more, and soon the robot Pioneer 2 appears, created in the image and likeness of the boss’s girlfriend, Maria. By a twist of fate, the robot falls into the hands of a scientist and his friend—a former member of the Heroes Gang—and the pair, after reprogramming Pioneer 2, decide to launch a counterattack on the terrorists’ lair.

Review 4K Movie

The plot is simple at best, and the humor is often childish, and yet it works. The reason it 'works' is likely the pace. As in a movie like Airplane, you do not have much time to think about each attempt at humor, as there is another one following too close on its heals. The effects were actually quite good for the time and apparent budget. Surprisingly to me, the characters were actually not likeable for the most part. The only likeable characters would be the semi-retired gang boss and the android Maria. If you already like period HK action and comedy, then you will likely like this one. I am not a genre fan and I still liked it after watching it for the first time today.
