Amazon.co.uk Review
With a title like Chopper Chicks in Zombietown, you'd be excused from any great expectations here--but you'd also be missing out on one of trash-cinema's great pleasures: catching one of Hollywoood's A-list in their pre-fame days. In this case, the catch is Billy Bob Thornton, in a brief appearance as one of the Chopper Chicks' ex-husbands. It may be a guilty pleasure, but seeing this good 'ol boy playing dumb-as-a-doorknob long before Sling Blade (or A Simple Plan) and paying his dues is still, however strangely, gratifying.

As for the film itself, Chopper Chicks is no Hell Comes to Frogtown, but it comes with all of the Troma hallmarks. The requisite beheadings and low-grade effects are all present and correct, along with the so-bad-it's-really-bad dialogue (except for the occasional so-bad-it's-good one-liner). The acting is wooden, the story negligible (cycle sluts come to town, kill zombies, save a schoolbus full of blind kids), and even the appearances by Thornton and original MTV (US) VJ Martha Quinn provide only occasional relief. The DVD extras include a photo gallery of screen-stills and the original trailer. --Randy Silver

3.0 out of 5 stars WANNA SEE MY CHOPPER?, 4 Sep 2003
This review is from: Chopper Chicks In Zombietown [VHS] [1989] (VHS Tape)
The fine folks at Troma released this extremely low budget horror comedy about a bunch of biker women who drift into a dusty old town populated by mostly old people, a magnum wielding midget and a busload of blind kids armed with uzis. They couldn't have picked a better time to visit the place. The local deranged professor is reviving corpses and using them to search for a very valuable radioactive chemical in a run down mine just outside of town. Somehow, he loses control of the living dead and they go off rampaging into town eating the local inhabitants. Among the poorly acted cast is a young Billy Bob Thornton, ex-mtv dj Martha Quinn and Don Calfa from Return of the living dead (Who gives probably the only fine performance)
Billy Bob Thornton doesn't last long enough to save the day so it's up to those biker chicks to nuke the flesh-eating ghouls.

The special effects are impressive in parts and very laughable in others, the acting is cheesy (probably deliberate) but hey, it's a Troma movie. And thats what you want to see in Troma movies...

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutly Brilliant, 24 Nov 2000
By np135@hotmail.com (peterborough, england) - See all my reviews
This film is one of comical content, some of the scenes in it just make you want to burst out laughing. The action and fighting in it is of high class. Fit girls going at against zoombies - what more could a man want? This is one not to miss.

4.0 out of 5 stars this film has it all!, 20 Nov 2003
By Mrs. Janet Sherret "games freak" (glenrothes, fife United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Picture a gang of biker chicks with permanent scowls (maybe due to their bad haircuts), who ride into a rather strange little town for something to eat.Little do they know that they might become lunch!
This zombie flick has it all, a mad undertaker with a vertically challenged assistant, some blind orphans, and even Billy Bob Thornton playing a hapless, abandoned husband.
The gore is great, and the setting is bizzare.
Will the chopper chicks save the town from a radiation soaked,zombie filled mine? Will the biker girls ever smile? You'll have to watch to find out.
