A movie with a title like "Zombie Strippers" would actually be kind of funny. Except for the one they actually made, which is chock full of misogyny, racism, political paranoia, pretentious speeches, absurd clichés and lots of gore.
We get a preamble of the "political background", which sounds like the kind of bizarre paranoia one can read on the DailyKos website. Essentially, Bush has turned the country into a dictatorship that has banned strip clubs and experiments with turning people into super-soldier zombies.
Well, a soldier in a zombie-hunting squad is infected and winds up in an underground strip joint with a bunch of dead behind the eyes strippers. He infects headliner stripper Kat (played with indifference by over the hill porn star Jenna Jameson) with the Zombie virus. Oddly, the patrons find decomposing zombie strippers more exciting than live girls. The other strippers let themselves get zombified. Patrons are zombified during lap dances.
The only guy in this movie who seems to be having any fun is Robert Englund, who plays the strip club owner, a hypochondriac gun nut who figures if he just puts the zombie victims into a cage in the basement...
Special Effects guys had a field day. Cheapie movies like this are really demo tapes for these guys. "See, I only had a budget of $15.00 and some bottle deposits, and look what I was able to do!"
