Memorable, crazy movie

As Good As It Gets

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Tired of their line of work, a group of dancers passing the time with a strange occult book in their club end up finding themselves in the middle of a zombie outbreak through a curse inscribed within and must battle the unleashed creatures in order to get away alive.This one ended up being one of the more enjoyable zombie cheesefests. Most of the film's charm lies in the fact that this one is so unashamedly intent on opting for the cheesy side of the sleaze- riddled storyline it wants to exploit. The entire film is quite apparent in it's overall look and feel, going for the vibrant chaotic look that's readily apparent from the whole environment of the stripclub where they work to the way they behave waiting for their shifts to start yet the main fun of this one is the ease with which it goes for exploitation in the storyline. Never resisting a chance to showcase their physical attributes by shoving the camera into any of their figures, forcing them into skimpy costumes for their risqué dance routines to be ogled over or to have them constantly engage in topless wrestling matches filled with comical sound effects upon the appearance of nudity really gives this a quite cheesy and sleazy feel. This is ably carried over quite nicely once this one works its way into the more frantic and enjoyable second half where they accidentally unleash the zombies, which range from the rather striking and even chilling ritual space down in the secret room where the different relics and body parts are found that includes the fun of the resurrected zombies appearing and slowly ripping their victim to pieces, the chaotic sequence involving the flying sushi pieces coming at them or their interrupted performance where they realize the patrons are really the resurrected zombies are forced to flee the stage deeper into the club to escape the ravenous hordes approaching them. This is filled with all sorts of rather fun and chilling scenes involving the overrun city and their attempts to get outside to safety that provides a ton of rather fun barricades and brawls as they make their way out, and when they manage to escape there's even more fun here as they start dismembering the bodies left behind as well as battling the mutant beast their friend turns into. With this providing the lead-in for the survivors to head into town and clean up after the zombies left behind, the action is so much more impressive and brutal in this section with the various battles and confrontations leading to a slew of fighting and bodily dismemberment that gives this some cheesy fun to be had at the end. Coupled with outrageous gore-gags, tons of splatter and a wild sense of humor about itself with their treatment of the zombies and towards each other, there's a lot of extremely enjoyable parts here which makes for a wholly frenetic and crazy effort. There's not a whole lot here that doesn't work, which starts from the 3D work here which is so low and barely there it's almost not worth it to be included to begin with as only a few things are thrown into the camera for the process to work. Otherwise, there's not a whole lot else wrong here.Rated Unrated/R: Extreme Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and Nudity.

I didn't hate "Big Tits Dragon", though it isn't the same sort of bad movie I enjoy watching. I love films that TRY to be good but fail miserably in every way (such as "The Room" or "Plan 9 From Outer Space"). "Bit Tits Dragon", on the other hand tries to be a horrible movie. While there is enough to mildly recommend it for some audiences, it's not a good bad film—it's just a cheesy film that tries to be terrible.Before I talk about the plot and what I thought of the film, I should mention that, not surprisingly, it's NOT a family-friendly film. With a title like this, this should come as absolutely no surprise to anyone. However, what surprised me was how seldom the film showed nudity. It's not a soft-core porno film even though the title sure sounds like one. There are a few breast shots and a wildly sick shot involving a flame thrower (you have to see it to believe it), but it's clearly a mild rated-R film—even with all the blood. And, speaking of blood, the film uses so much fake blood and guts but it never seemed the least bit realistic. While I wouldn't recommend this film to teens (or anyone with taste), it won't warp you for life!The first half of "Big Tits Dragon" has almost no plot. Five not particularly talented strippers are out of work and bored in a small town in Japan. They mostly sit around in their underwear and complain or try to make money. Only about halfway into the film does anything of consequence happen. One of them notices a locked door behind a curtain in their dressing room. It leads to a tunnel to a weird home where one of them discovers The Book of the Dead. She invokes a spell that unleashes a plague of over-acting zombies on the Earth. Then, a battle ensues between strippers and Zombies until the Blue Ogre arrives from Hell to put everything right (this is, by far, the best scene in the film).The acting is very bad and the plot very silly. But, the film isn't 100% terrible because it knows it's bad and makes no bones about it. In many ways, it reminds me of a Troma film—one that wants to be a bad film and revels in cheesiness. And, some of the film is actually clever and funny (such as when sushi turns into zombie sushi). But most of it is rather stupid and it's not the sort of film you want to let your mother or friends know you've watched because they'll probably have a lower opinion of you! Silly, occasionally sexy and quite dumb—this is Bit Tits Zombie in a nut shell. This film is NOT for everyone and is best for someone who is obsessed with the zombie genre. For anyone else, this is easy to skip—and your brain might just thank you!

Since watching the yawn-inducting film Teenage Hooker Becomes A Killing Machine,I really had to push myself in giving this,very similar looking film a try.Happily,with the films good mix of comedy horror and a light Grindhouse touch ,I realised that this was a film that I was very happy to have tried out. The plot: With a group of five strippers struggling to make any cash at the current location,the girls decide that it is time to change locations.Luckally for them,a new building has come on the market at a super-cheap price,partly due to the recent owner having killed himself in the building.Looking around their new self-owned Strip Club,one of the girls finds a hidden library in the building.Unwisely deciding to read one of the books out loud,one of the girls ends up opening the gates of hell,and becomes the general for the army of the undead!.As the undead start taking over the city,the four other girls decide that it is time they fight back. View on the film: Although the film does not feature as much nudity,as would be expected for a movie with this title,writer/director Takao Nakano makes up for it by giving the film a brilliant,primary colour-soaked comic book look,with the blood spillings from the Zombies,almost looking like it is about to jump off the page.Along with his fun, light-Gindhouse style screenplay,Nakano's film is also given an extra coat of paint from his five leading ladies,who as well as looking very beautiful,as give the film a Bright 'N Cheerful nature,with lead actress Sola Aol giving a very good performance as the main Zombie hunter,who kills the Zombies in the most stylish way possible. Final view on the film: A fun film,with a surprisingly cheerful look,that also has a great,bold,colourful comic-book style from director Nakano,and a stunningly beautiful (and surprisingly good) cast.

Five exotic dancers—busty slut Lena Jodo (AV star Sora Aoi), sexy redhead lolita goth Maria (Mari Sakurai), ex-jailbird Ginko (Risa Kasumi), immigrant Darna (Io Aikawa) and older stripper Nene (Tamayo)—discover a secret passageway that leads to a hidden room containing a library of rare occult books. When Maria reads a passage from The Book of the Dead, she unleashes a horde of zombies from The Well of Spirits, a portal to Hell.There's a very memorable scene in Big Tits Zombie where stripper--turned-zombie Nene adopts the crab position and shoots flames out of her pulsating toothy snatch; the whole strippers versus zombies might have been done before in western efforts like Zombie Strippers and Zombies! Zombies! Zombies!, but they never showed us anything quite as demented as that!!!Japan is, of course, renowned amongst fans of seriously insane horror for going places no-one else even thinks of, and Big Tits Zombie is no exception: it's a totally bonkers, low budget trash-fest dedicated to blood and big breasts. The acting is undeniably crap, the special effects atrocious (loads of CGI blood), and the story just plain daft, but when you're in the mood for an hour and a half of sheer mindless fun, this kind of nonsense can't be beat.As well as the aforementioned fiery cooch, viewers also get to enjoy a zombie woman with a detachable head and tentacles extending from her stomach (supporting strings clearly visible), numerous badly made-up zombies (including zombie ninjas, a zombie geisha, table-tennis zombies, and a zombie schoolgirl), assorted chainsaw and samurai sword dismemberment, and a female sumo contest, watched over by an elderly dwarf and his lackeys, which sees the loser becoming a naked sushi bar (mind the grated wasabi—yeowch!).Oh, and there's tits, of course—lots of lovely big tits!
