About I Love Maria
A gang of criminals terrorizes Hong Kong with two killer robots, one of which is modelled on the gang's female thug, Maria. When the robot gets damaged during a mission, an inventor working for the police captures and reprograms her to develop an independent personality.
Directed by David Chung, I Love Maria leans on a strong ensemble — John Shum Kin-Fun, Sally Yeh Chian-Wen, Tsui Hark — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about science fiction titles of 1988.
