3.0 out of 5 stars
Split on how to rate this film, August 12, 2005
This review is from: Kung Fu Zombie (DVD)
I am trying to rate this film fairly, so I will admit that its more of a 3.5 than a 3. If you you like horror-fu you will definitely enjoy this quality movie. If you prefer your kung fu to horror, you may be a bit disappointed. While the entire movie was high quality, the ending kind of spoiled it... not that it was bad (and this is where my bias comes in) but there were too many wire tricks when it was uncalled for. The kung fu was otherwise above average and the storyline wasn't bad either.
Quality (image) was above average and acting was surprisingly good.
In the end, when I am split on a review I always opt for the "Would I watch it again?" test... the answer is YES.

Billy Chong is great in this horror-Fu flik, October 7, 2002
This review is from: Kung Fu Zombie (DVD)
Billy Chong Shows off why he was one of the best old school Kung fu stars of the 70's-80's. A story line that comes off as a horror comedy actually showcases some amazing fight scenes, and action. The film has some big names , and some faces you'll surely recognize if your an old school fan. Billy Chong and the Villian Moon are amazing in the end fight, and throughout the film showcase some real talent. Not the best old school film around, but one you should have. It's called KUNG FU ZOMBIE, and it stars Billy Chong.

Still laughing, July 29, 2009
This review is from: Kung Fu Zombie (DVD)
Six months gone and I am still laughing over this movie. Most reviews focus on the action and the kung fu, and even the box cover talks about mortal danger and adversity and action and all, but doesn't anybody see the gloriously assinine slapstick humor in this film? To me it is The Three Stooges meets Seinfeld meets The Evil Dead meets Wheels on Meals. I laughed so hard I had to rewind what I had missed while laughing. The kung fu is bitchin, sure, but the watermelon routine, the punji-pit scene, the mean dad, the laughing ghost hiding in the bushes scene, etc., are so ridiculously silly that they make this movie an all time, must see, comedy classic on a par with Spies Like Us, Ruthless People, How to Get Ahead in Advertising, and Brutti Sporchi e Cattivi. This is one of my few keepers, I would recommend it to everybody and anybody, and I would watch it a hundred times. FIVE ENTHUSIASTIC STARS!!!!!!
