Overview
RoboCop as a woman… The Hero Gang is a nasty group of thugs terrorizing Hong Kong with their killer robots, Pioneers 1 and 2. While Pioneer 1 looks like an oridinary robot, Pioneer 2 has been modelled on Maria, the gang’s #2 thug. When Pioneer 2 gets damaged during a mission to kill an outcast gang member, an inventor on the police force takes her and changes some of her programming. This new code, plus a few injuries to her logic center, start causing Pioneer 2 to develop her own personality.

Viewing Notes
Owned this one for a long time, the Universe Media Asia release on DVD. Definitely needs a restored / remastered upgrade. It deserves it too just for being so batshit and Tsui Hark directing himself in the lead role. Sally Yeh is great doing double duty work.
This would be fun one to do a triple feature with Lady Battle Cop and Robotrix.
