Future X-Cops trailer, you guys:
Whoa. (And yet, somehow, it still makes more sense than the Prince of Persia trailer.) Here is the movie’s “official description,” from YouTube:
A cop goes back in time to the present to protect a scientist who holds the key to mankind’s future.
Severe energy shortage that resulted to power resource monopoly by tycoons as the new century opens its way, chaos everywhere were evoked and gravely jeopardized human existence. However, by the time the century ending towards its closing, Dr. Masterson, a talented scientist who devoted great efforts on his relentless research, finally invented the Skyline Solar Screen. This innovation not only resolved and alleviated critical energy issues that saved endangered mankind, it also gave those avaricious oil tycoons a hard hit on their face.
Whoa. But let me ask you this, movie description, as a result, in order to seize again lucrative profits, did the greedy tycoons plots an evil conspiracy and hired a group of humanoids (half human,half robot) to target and assassinate the great mankind savior Dr. Masterson?
As a result, in order to seize again lucrative profits, the greedy tycoons plots an evil conspiracy and hired a group of humanoids (half human, half robot) to target and assassinate the great mankind savior Dr. Masterson! In apprehension of the complicity, government authority dispatches Officer Kidd (Any Lau) and his wife Millie (Bingbing Fan) to closely guard on Dr. Masterson’s personal security.
Got it. Then what?
During a fierce combat against the humanoids soldier, Millie was not able to survive the death battle, despite the fact that Kidd was able to kill the humanoid Captain Kalon’s (Louis Fan) younger brother. Though Dr. Masterson was still safe and sound, Kidd and Captain Kalons life and death feud is now unraveled.
With airtight intense protective measures on Dr. Masterson’s safety by the police force, it prevented the humanoid from harming the brilliant scientist. But the vicious tycoons made a new plot by stealing the government’s hi-tech time travel mechanism and sends back those strength-enhanced humanoid to the past world, target to murder the teenage Dr. Masterson!
Officer Kidd, carrying with him the critical mission to stop the evil plan, agreed to transform himself into a half-cyborg warrior, bringing along his only daughter Kiki (Jiao Xu) to the past, and ventures in hope to save mankind and the world! Time travelling to the contemporary world, Kidd hides himself among the police force, with the aid of his superior (Mike He) and policewoman Holly (Barbie Hsu), secretly searching for the teenage Dr. Masterson.
The humanoid Assassins who also return from the future to the contemporary world are unable to locate their target, and assumes that Kidd have hidden the doctor under his protection. They began to initiate various terrorism attacks everywhere, and even threatens Kidd with his beloved one’s life, forcing him to hand out the teenage Dr. Masterson…
Between mission and love, Kidd is now trapped in grave dilemma. Could he triumph over the humanoid and accomplish the mission to save the contemporary and future world…
Cool. Yes. Definitely picked up on most of that from the very clear and straight-forward trailer, but it’s nice to have the story fleshed out. Personally, I never see a movie unless there is a 5,000 word plot synopsis that has been written by a nine-year-old and run through the http://www.babelfish.altavista.geocities.biz BETA translation software. (Thanks for the tip, Jeremy.)

Whoah, these Tron II trailers are getting harder and harder to follow.
hey cool, a boat!
oh i get it, like free SHIPPING.
This movie has all the Pokemons.
If I had a nickel for every time someone used “In fact, I can’t get over Kiki’s mom” to avoid a relationship with me, I would have several nickels; MLIFXC.
Fan Bing-Bing. That is all.
Let’s get some youtube close captioning up in this trailer!
Dr. Masterson I presume
So are the bad guys rogue ex-X-cops? This should I be toy line for my 10 year-old self to play with.
“…it also gave those avaricious oil tycoons a hard hit on their face.” TWSS?
Is it just me, or is Videogum getting really graphically sexual lately? Oh, it’s just me? Uhhh… I’ll see myself out.
Maybe textually sexual

Nonsensical Referencegum
ok, off topic, but what is going on with the samsung background?
what samsung background? my fancy firefox must have eaten it or something, that’s what firefox does right?
i’m using fancy firefox, too. the background is all black and blue gilette stripey. i feel like i’m writing on an axe message board!
food. Gabe’s family. you know.
Terminator V: Now with asians!
This is the Japanese remake of “Birdemic,” right?
I was just thinking how the “villian’s” (?) suit made him look like a hybrid acid-spitting pigeon from Birdemic with a typcial, mustached Japenese kung fu villian. And just for good measure:
Best scene in the movie right there
Wire hangers??? I told you no wire hangers EVER!!!
Looks like they implemented the same CGI technology as the Tiger Woods car crash reenactment video.
I don’t know about you, but the only thing I think of when I hear (or um, read) X-Cops is this:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0751264/
Well, of course, you’re thinking about X-Cops. This movie is about FUTURE X-Cops, duh. Because right now, they are regular X-Cops, which should get a prequel, called Past X-Police Academy, because time.
So in it, do Mulder and Scully “Fight the Future” X-Cops?
*crickets*
God, I actually laughed at that. You’re bringing out the geek in me today, khoff! But to be fair, it isn’t exactly buried down deep.
That’s literally the first thing I thought of, too. That episode was really funny. “I don’t think it’s live television, Scully. She just said *bleep*.”
Oh, you and I are really nerdy.
Iron Man wants its robotic suit application* scene back.
*I’m assuming that’s a correct way to describe it? I’m so out of touch with future lingo! I’d better practice to appease our future robot overlords.
Wait, how come nobody has mentioned the fact that there seems to be only one non-Asian actor in this movie and that he looks like Michael (from Lost) a little bit and he has metallic snake arms.
Someone really wanted to prove that they have a picture of a black person in their wallet.
X-Cops Will Future
Fun fact: according to asianmediawiki (wait, what?), Andy Lau only agreed to be in the movie after the 19th rewrite. The first 18 were probably too epic. Still, this movie seems to combine the best parts of kung-fu films, X-Men and Steven Seagal: Lawman, so count me in!
What is Andy Lau now? Like 60? Sheesh!
- Chief, criminals are making the ferris wheel go faster than usual and scaring children!!
- Damn it, i hate to admit it, but this is a job for Future X-Cops!
this is the best at being the worst.
But there was one thing Dr. Masterson didn’t thought of. Maybe they weren’t the Chaos Emeralds! Maybe they were something else, probably! But what could he stole…?
