Amazon.co.uk Review
Get yourself a snappy title and a couple of marquee names (however disreputable) and you might just snag your no-budget movie a national release--as Zombie Strippers colorfully proves. The names in question belong to porn star Jenna Jameson and Freddie Krueger himself, Robert Englund, both of whom look quite comfortable in this sleazy milieu. As the title suggests (well, "suggests" might be a mild word), there has been an outbreak of the undead in a strip club, with strippers actually improving their onstage antics after they've become zombies. (Given the number of implants on display, it's a wonder the zombies didn't keel over from silicone poisoning.) Englund is the proprietor of the place, Jameson is a star dancer, and a couple of actresses in the "nice girl" roles don't have to take their tops off, although almost everybody else does. Writer-director Jay Lee fills the movie with political gags and a bunch of philosophy references (Jameson reads Nietzsche, the locale is Sartre, Nebraska), all of which play like a lame attempt to distinguish his movie as something other than a puerile horror-comedy. Only thing is, when you try to disguise the fact that you've made a puerile horror-comedy, it kind of takes the oomph out of both the horror and the comedy. The political jibes are about as feeble as those in Southland Tales, but at least Zombie Strippers is shorter. Shot on video, it looks atrocious, but perhaps that doesn't matter very much. --Robert Horton, Amazon.com
Synopsis
Robert Englund (best known for playing Freddie Krueger) and Jenna Jameson (best known for playing naked), might seem like an odd cinematic pairing, but not when you consider the title of this horror comedy: Zombie Strippers. When the exotic dancers of Sartre, Nebraska, begin getting zombified, it's up to a few of their own to save the day. Jay Lee (The Slaughter) wrote and directed this blood-and-boob-filled satire.

In an alternate, or perhaps future, America the government has banned public nudity just as an outbreak of a zombie virus occurs. In step Z-Team to sort out the zombie virus, one of them gets bit and separates from the rest of his squad of bad acting brothers and sisters and stumbles into an underground strip club/speak easy type affair. Queue a torrent of blood, cheap giggles and silicone.
So I got this film after having a good laugh at a boozy lads night in watching `Zombie, Zombies, Zombies: Zombies vs Strippers', oddly enough I think this is the bigger budget counterpart of the aforementioned z-grade nonsense - which says a lot about that film. So I grabbed myself a cheap copy of zombies Vs Strippers, fully knowing what to expect, and swiftly made my way down the offy for some tins to accompany it. What can I say: exact same effect. Bunch of your mates, some tins and plenty of shouting at the TV in total disbelief of the madness you're putting yourselves through and you've got yourself a winner.
This movie is just an excuse to put loads of bare bodies and blood on screen with a thin coating of social satire to keep the whole sticky mess together, and if we can't all put our brains to bed for a bit and have some big snorting laughs at this kind of junk once in a while then what can we do?
THE GOOD:
- Daft as a bag of gremlins.
- Some actual funny bits that will have you and your mates giggling like big kids
- Some inventive effects and cool looking zoms. Okay - fair enough - it looks alot like Mortal Kombat at times but those looking for any amount of realism should look else where me thinks (obviously).
- Some good looking girls doing some impressive moves.
- Englund hams it up big style and is great for it.
- The pool ball, zombie stripper fight, bit is brilliant, you'll see.
- Won't tax a work addled mind.
- Disgraceful acting and dialog that'll have you in stitches.
THE BAD
- Again like Zombies Versus Strippers the whole film is bad but this is streamlined badness that slaps you in the face and makes you do big, drink squirting out of your nose, dopey sounding, guffaws.
- Far, far too much silicone for my liking.
CONCLUSION
What can I say - Completely off it's honkers, A total disgrace...and I loved it - it's the complete antidote to a serious day at work. It's like the ultimate, big kids, man flick that counterbalances total chick-flick tosh like `The wedding planner' and other evils of it's ilk perfectly. Without this film the world would be a much duller place and I can't wait to put it in the collection for a marathon bad movie laugh-a-thon.

dont be expecting anything serious here. if you are open minded and enjoy nudity and sexy zombies then you should watch it. there is 1 glimps of jenna jamesons burger. very nice. make sure you have drank between 5 and 7 beers before watching this as you would get bored otherwise, and if your female i wouldnt expect you to like this. purely good for blood boobs and comedy, nothing else!

Okay, I'm not going to even attempt to convince you that this is a good film in any sense of the word because it isn't. It's one of those movies that wants to have its cake and eat it and throw it up again and eat it again. Some of the actors commit the worse sin of all in a comedy-horror and that is by playing it for laughs. Most of them, thankfully, are in the black ops team who appear at the beginning and the end where they firstly set up the scenario and then return to save the day.
In between and in the strip club where most of the movie is set, the actors do their limited best which is generally okay for this type of trash. It lives up to the title by providing plenty of zombie gore and lots of stripping and naked silicone flesh. The mcguffin is that the strippers retain their intelligence after being zombified and that the zombification improves their stripping and results in an increased clientele (some of whom, enticed into thinking they're going to get laid, provide munchies for the hungry girls). Retired porn star Jenna Jameson is the top stripper and first to turn and performs quite adequately in every sense of the word. Robert Englund is the greedy owner who gleefully and without a qualm rakes in the money at the expense of a few partially eaten and then zombified men whom he locks up in the basement. Bizarrely the audience numbers increase the more the strippers' bodies start to decay. I couldn't quite see the appeal myself, but different strokes...
And just for a laugh, there's the pure religious ingenue who's only doing it to raise money for an operation for her sweet li'l ole granny.
The writer/director pretends to give the movie some significance by having the strippers all suffering from existential angst and quoting from various philosophers and shovelling in other references wherever he can. Sure, it's a con that won't fool anyone into thinking this is more than trash, but nevertheless I found it quite a funny con. The illicit bar is called Rhino and Englund's character is Ian Essko. Feel free to groan.
So, extreme gore, attractive naked women, laughs, clever puns. What's not to like?
