5 Stars! Puhlease
C'mon, what's the point of giving a lousy movie 5 or 4 stars? Are you trying to trick someone into wasting their money? Or are you showing since you're an aficionado you can overlook bad acting, no real plot, no suspense, no frights, and no real reason to get excited? The movie had potential, who doesn't like lesbian bikers kicking zombie tail? But, it just does not deliver. The acting is Billy Jack quality. Remember how bad that was? There is no humor, except for the silly music played when the un-frightening zombies spend more than half the movie slooooowly stumbling down the road to town. The bikers are not cool, menacing, interesting, or sexy. Their exploits are dull; their conquests are like a Love Boat episode, except the actors are not as attractive. Oh man, could this movie have used just a little skin.
I likes me zombie movies, and I'm not expecting much from a move featuring Cycle Sluts and zombies. I would have been disappointed if it had been competent and mainstream. And, I'll concede it is an honest attempt at making an entertaining zombie movie. Heck, it's got a bug-eyed villain, dwarfs, blind orphans, dikes on bikes, Billy Bob Thonton, and zombies. But, it just didn't come together. Maybe if they had doubled the budget to like, $200, and made the actors, er, act... But, they didn't. You must include this one, NOT. In the pantheon of low budget zombie flicks, this one has a great title, and a great concept, but it's lower tier.

Zombietown - in my favorite getaway.
OK. So the story is a stretch. But since I've stayed many times in the town of 80 people where it was filmed it is special to me. The general store, only bar, and the front of the hotel where I stay are major scenes. Besides, a girl motorcycle gang ("Cycle Sluts"), zombies, and a school bus full of blind orphans. All in a nearly ghost town. What more do you need for an innovative story line?

Delivers exactly as it should
This title says it all. I ordered because of the ballzy title, and by golly it gives you exactly what you think a movie with this title should. Hot chicks killing zombies with indiscriminate violence. Life is good.

Very nice
With a name like "Chopper Chicks in Zombietown" it should be good...and it is. It was alot better then I expected it to be. After all it has alot of the essential elements that make a good movie- a dwarf, cheezy music and effects, blind kids, biker chicks, and meat-eating zombies. What more could you want? And Hal Sparks (gotta love the guy) always seems to get the best lines in all of his movies, such as "A dwarf, blind kids, d*kes on bikes- we could start a side show!" Anyway, this movie is definatley worth atleast a rent. Enjoy!

So bad it's ..... still pretty bad
When the zombie motif has already been self-parodied with such class and black humour as Romero's Dawn of the Dead and 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, and the Uzi weilding kid bemoaning the zombie attack on their school bus by grumbling "what rotten luck - going blind, being orphaned and now THIS!" has to be the best line by far in the movie. The townsfolk are reasonably well observed 1950's B-movie caricatures, and the choice of weaponry by the chicks in the final showdown with the zombies was quite amusing. The overall impression however is dull, tedious and lacking the usual Troma gross-out but stylish trademark. Even at only 83 minutes, it feels overlong and 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.
