      Storyline

      Edit

      Did you know

      Edit
      • Trivia
        (at around 12 mins) One of the thugs was shot dead at the beginning of the movie, because the director Ryûhei Kitamura disliked the actor who portrayed him.
      • Goofs
        (at around 42 mins) One of the detectives says (in the subtitled version) that he was trained at FBI HQ at Langley. Langley is the headquarters of the CIA, not the FBI. This fits the character, though, who seems to lie about his abilities throughout the movie.
      • Quotes

        Cop with Barrett: You can't hit me! I have five hundred times faster reflexes than Mike Tyson!

      • Alternate versions
        German rental version is cut for violence/gore to secure a "Not under 18" rating. The Retail Special Edition DVD will be uncut.

      Zombies vs. Yakuza
      You can't beat that combination, unless you add in ninjas, or samurai... or Godzilla, but zombies and yakuza alone make a very compelling film, even if it has no sensible plot.

      The storyline is simple enough - prisoners escape, get double crossed, then find out they're in a "forest of resurrection" full of zombies that don't like yakuza very much. That's all you really need to know.

      Sit back and relax as you watch hilarious gory and impossibly bad acting. The movie is based on its visual appeal alone, forget the plot and the characters, watch the fight scenes, the strange standoffs, bad monologues, and hideously bad acting.

      There are parts, however, where the movie drags on a bit. Killing zombies, even though enormously awesome, does become monotonous after an extended period. But these lulls are few and far between them. The action definitely keeps you hooked for most of the film.

      Overall? Great action film.
