So bad it's ..... still pretty bad - By: Cartimand, 19 Mar 2004
When the zombie motif has already been self-parodied with such class & black humour as Romero's Dawn of the Dead & Peter Jackson's hilarious Braindead, any movie trying to follow in those famous footsteps has to be pretty special. And special, Chopper Chicks in Zombietown ain't.

Ok, it's got a few inspired moments - I liked the ice-cream van chiming out "Dance Macabre", the zombie transfixed by the CCTV was amusing, & the Uzi weilding kid bemoaning the zombie attack on their school bus by grumbling "what rotten luck - going blind, being orphaned & now THIS!" has to be the best line by far in the movie. The townsfolk are reasonably well observed 1950's B-movie caricatures, & the choice of weaponry by the chicks in the final showdown with the zombies was quite amusing.

The overalll impression however is dull, tedious & lacking the usual Troma gross-out but stylish trademark. Even at only 83 minutes, it feels overlong & the absence of any outtakes or any other bonus material on the DVD makes poor value for money.

I got my copy for just £3-99 in a high street clear-out sale. With a total of three half-chuckles throughout the movie, I don't feel like I got a bargain.


this film has it all! - By: Mrs. Janet Sherret, 20 Nov 2003
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 alll, a mad undertaker with a verticallly challlenged assistant, some blind orphans, & even Billy Bob Thornton playing a hapless, abandoned husband.
The gore is great, & 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.
WANNA SEE MY CHOPPER? - By: , 04 Sep 2003
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 & 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 & 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 & 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 & 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 & 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...


Absolutly Brilliant - By: np135@hotmail.com, 25 Nov 2000
This film is one of comical content, some of the scenes in it just make you want to burst out laughing. The action & 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.
