Zombies, gore and breasts! Wait, what?...

Warning: Spoilers
First of all, I must say that whomever came up with this title for a movie should be applauded, what a deviant movie title; "Big Tits Zombie", though the Japanese title is "Kyonyû doragon: Onsen zonbi vs sutorippâ 5"). So this movie outright appeals to most men. However, I will say that the reason why I bought it from Amazon was because it was a zombie movie and because it was a Japanese produced zombie movie, those movies usually tend to be so bad that they are actually funny and enjoyable.

And this movie was no different. Sure, it was mostly focused on showing off pretty women and their breasts (yeah, hence the name of the movie), but despite this sleazy approach, then the movie was still fun to watch.

The story? Well forget about that, because there is almost no story going on here. The story is a side dish, so to speak, or at least it was for me. I was too busy laughing at the extremities of the zombies and the effects. There was a story, though, about a group of exotic dancers coming to stumble over a collection of occult and vile relics in the basement of their club, and accidentally unleash a wave of ravenous zombies upon the world.

As for the zombies, well, they just cracked me up. I loved how almost all of them were dressed in outrageous, abnormal outfits that you would not see people wear at all anywhere. But it worked out well, because it brought a nice sense of comedy and weird twist to the movie. And for some reason, then in all Japanese zombie movies, the dead people (zombies) turn to a very strange shade of grey when they die, and for some odd reason, it is always only the face that turns grey, the rest of the body remains the normal skin color. I find that hilarious, and it always cracks me up.

The effects in "Big Tits Zombie" were questionable at best, but that was part of the charm, because there was a thorough all-out Amateur touch to the movie. Don't get me wrong, because I mean that in the best way possible. It was such a pleasure to see a low budget movie of this type turning out to be this enjoyable. There was even scenes where you could see the wires holding up various tendrils in some scenes, and it was so painstakingly obvious. I had to rewind for that scene twice, just to see it again, because it was so funny; it was so amazingly fake and bad (but in a good way).

Having an almost all-women cast, "Big Tits Zombie" is of course all about showing off skin and pretty women. And true enough, there is a lot of scantily dressed women in the movie, and of course the obligatory nudeness (check the title of the movie again, if you are in doubt why this was necessary). Personally, then I thought that Sola Aoi (playing Lena Jodo) and Mari Sakurai (playing Maria) were the ones who carried the most weight of the movie.

There was one scene that was so extreme that I almost didn't believe that I saw it. I will not give away what it is here, because you have to see it yourself, but I will give you this much, so you know what to keep a look for and wait for; Nene has been bitten by a zombie and is on bed turning into a zombie, then she does this back arch, and then...

"Big Tits Zombie" is a zombie comedy, so think a Japanese version of "Shaun of the Dead" gone awry, and with a smaller budget. But with that in mind, don't let that scare you off. If you are a zombie aficionado like me and enjoy Asian movies, then give "Big Tits Zombie" a go, because it is so outrageously extreme that it might just entertain you. I know I was laughing a lot throughout the movie.

And as a side note, I just read on the back of the DVD cover that Sola Aoi (playing Lena) and Risa Kasumi (playing Ginko) are Japanese adult stars, so that just makes the movie even more absurdly extreme!
