This is really a cheesy comic horror film with tits and ass as well as some social satire thrown in ta the beginning.Set in the near future with George W Bush has elected to a fourth term as President with Arnold Schwarzenegger as Vice President. The military have developed a chemical weapon that will reanimate dead soldiers but the project has gone horribly wrong. A special crack Z Squad is sent to take care of the rogue reanimated personnel.One of the squad is infected and ends up in a sleazy strip club run by Ian (Robert Englund) who infects star stripper/dancer Kat (Jenna Jameson) who becomes zombified and dances special moves to the delight of the audience who now find the ordinary strippers just ordinary.Kat infects the other dancers who all begin to turn the club patrons into zombies. Pretty soon there are only a few people left including Ian who are trying to keep the zombies away.There is plenty of graphic splatter and gore mixed with humour. It is an unpretentious horror film with sex and comedy. Well the ping pong expulsion scene was something you are unlikely to see outside some Bangkok bars.Englund plays it broad as the amoral club owner who discovers he can make money with zombie strippers and Jameson and other dancers provide sex appeal.

A military unit made up of some goofy guys and pretty girls is called to a research lab. There the scientists have created zombies. The unit is told some zombies are lose and they can be killed with a shot to the head or when zapped by electricity. They go after the zombies and realize that the electric gun doesn't work all that well and some are bitten. Those that are have to be executed. When one of the bitten military guys sees that, he escapes and ends up in a strip bar.We meet the strippers, the boss, the lady in charge of the strippers, the dj, the janitor, the security guard. At first we deal mostly with stripper drama- the rivalry between two strippers, the angry goth stripper, the new virginal and religious stripper who's there to make money to help her sick grandmother against her boyfriends wishes, and others. The boss is played by Englund and he's all about the money. When the military guy turned zombie bites the star stripper, business goes on as usual. Not only that, but the customers for some reason go wild over zombie strippers. She starts attacking customers, and other strippers volunteer to be turned into zombies as well. Eventually all hell breaks lose. Then at the end we learn a bit more about the research project.Zombie Strippers as one would expect is campy, silly, at times dumb, but at other times the script show signs of intelligence. There are plenty of philosophical references (Nietzsche, Blavatsky, Camus, ontology, existentialist, fatalism, optimism, and more) and also philosophical musings about life and its meaning. These aren't dumb people making a dumb movie, but smart people who saw an opportunity to inject some brains into it what would otherwise have been a braindead movie. The movie is also very political. As a horror movie, zombie strippers is actually pretty good, it doesn't have a lot of gore but when it does, it's very good. It combines both physical and CGI gore and both are good, of course physical effects are much better. The strip club is among the worst settings for a movie, few movies manage to convey the supposed titillation of strip clubs. But Zombie Strippers does actually have some pretty decent strip acts. Some of them are in zombie make up, which is a bit odd, but even under makeup and contact lenses the beauty of the women comes through. The female cast is very good- from the military girls to pretty much every stripper, they are attractive girls, unfortunately not all of them strip. A shame in the case of the lovely Whitney Anderson.Zombie Strippers would have been better had it taken itself more seriously. Too many actors are playing for it laughs here, even though their character's life is at stake. It should be possible to make a good, serious, and smart B movie, even horror movie, that doesn't feel it has to be funny or silly to find an audience.

Description: The U.S. government creates zombies, the contagion makes it's way into a strip club, and the name of the film was all you really needed to know in the first place. Based on an Existentialist story, there is more here than meets the eye and I'm not just talking about boobies. There are lots of boobies though, but Sartre! The Good: The good to be found in Zombie Strippers! is the humor. It has tons of political and social satire but the goofy camp-style of the film keeps it from ever taking itself too seriously. This is exactly the kind of film that people should watch in a drunken group, which is no doubt what the filmmakers intended. Zombie Strippers! is fun, stupid, and enjoyable. Any attempt to take it seriously will ruin the magic. Plus, there's undead strippers crawling around on stage. What more could you want from a film? The Bad: Dialogue, acting, costumes, lighting, camera work, acting, story, acting - these things are all beyond bad in Zombie Strippers! but no more so than any pr0n you've ever seen and this movie is actually funny. The special effects look strictly consumer Adobe level but that's not important with a farce - in fact, it adds to it. Besides, there are boobies and zombies. See what I mean? The Ugly: This movie is goofy-licious and fun! No need to besmirch it with heavy-handed cinema critique and anonymous criticism. No one meant for it to be Citizen Kane; it's supposed to be every bit of ridiculous as it actually is. Just enjoy the damn thing! Boobies, zombies.Old School: Old school horror fans will probably dig Zombie Strippers! It's the kind of stupid horror spoof that makes a good lead-in for the seriously scary films later on in the night, like Glitter.New Blood: Steal some alcohol, dl this and have fun.To See or Not to See? Rent, buy, pirate or con? You may as well buy it because it actually is fun to watch. Not like Edward D.Wood, Jr. film funny, but more like MST3K funny - or maybe a little bit of both. Enjoy this movie! (boobies, zombies)

This movie is just horrendous. Now, I know what you're thinking. When you rent a film featuring porn star Jenna Jameson and titled Zombie Strippers!…how good can you really expect it to be? Well, I never really expected this thing to be any good. I had hoped that it might be one of those "so bad, it's good" movies. Instead, it overshoots "so bad, it's good" and lands in "so bad, it's really, really, really bad".The story, which is filled with lame jokes and wrapped up in some juvenile political satire at the expense of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, starts with a squad of soldiers sent to put down a zombie outbreak at a research lab. A virus was created to reanimate corpses so they could be used to fight in war. One of the soldiers gets bitten and runs away to an illegal strip club, where he bites the lead dancer (Jenna Jameson). She becomes a zombie, which in addition to filling her with the hunger for human flesh, also makes her a much better stripper.She bites a couple of other strippers and these undead skanks become a sensation, driving degenerate strip club patrons into such a frenzy they don't even care when a living girl gets naked on stage. That provokes jealousy and horror in some of the other strippers. However, the strip club owner (Robert Englund) just enjoys all the money he's making, though his plan to keep the strippers' zombified victims locked up in the basement turns out to be more trouble than all the money in the world. They get loose, chaos breaks out, including a zombie strip-off and an undead vagina being used in a way that I can't quite figure out how to describe.In fairness, Zombie Strippers is trying to be an over-the-top comedy. But there's an enormous emphasis on the word "trying" in that sentence. The jokes are putrid and this crew of alleged actors has all the comedic timing of a broken metronome that's sticking out of the burst stomach of a dead pig that's been left under the hot sun all day. I've seen Holocaust movies that were funnier than this film.This is another example of actors who can't act and a writer/director who can neither write nor direct. This bunch of losers thinks they can get around that by being intentionally awful. The whole charm of that sort of film, though, is that it's an honest and spectacularly failed attempt at making a good movie. Setting out to make a hilariously bad film is like intentionally becoming the world's fattest man. The end result is never pretty to look at.If you're one of the three people on Earth who hasn't already seen Jenna Jameson naked, you can find it in Zombie Strippers. Be forewarned; only two other actress get nude in this thing and only one of them is attractive. There is lots and lots of blood and gore and you can see Robert Englund embarrass himself with humor too corny for even the worst Nightmare on Elm Street sequel.If you took some of Jenna Jameson's XXX films and edited out the graphic sex, you'd probably end up with movies that were still better than Zombie Strippers. Don't even bother with this DVD.
