Big Tits Zombie

Madman Entertainment

R4 DVD

Japanese with English Subtitles

This film is also known as Big Tits Dragon, Kyonyu Dragon, and Hot Spring Dragon vs Stripper 5. Strippers, yes. Dragons, no. It was adapted from a manga cartoon but has more in common with Zombie Strippers (reviewed some time ago in Synergy) than with dragons. It is unashamed schlock but it stars some very attractive young ladies.

The plot is negligible, as you would expect from this sort of film. A group of down-on-their-luck strippers are squatting in an old building. In a basement they find an ancient book of spells and one girl tries it out for fun. She inadvertently summons an army of zombies and the slaughter begins.

The story and action are substantially the same as American zombie films. Japanese film often takes a different approach to a subject but in this case it is pretty standard. The zombies shamble, there are lots of decapitations, chainsaws are found to be useful weapons, you will become a zombie if you are bitten, and so on.

The differences with the American zombie style films are subtle. There are no boyfriends in view – the girls are on their own. There are no sex scenes even though the leading actress, the VERY attractive Sola Aoi, is a leading adult entertainment actress. Rather it is a story of survival of a small group of tough, independent girls doing their best in a hostile world. Especially young attractive girls.

The film looks low budget, but that doesn’t really matter. Everyone seems to have a lot of fun and so will the viewers. It is just silly enough that you can’t take it seriously – moments like when the girls’ sushi comes to life and attacks them are enough to lighten the mood and make you realise that this is a film to laugh with, not be terrified by.
