Just bought and watched Dead Heat. It's a zombie buddy cop action comedy, starring Treat Williams and Joe Piscopo, with supporting roles by Darren McGavin and Vincent Price! I don't get how this one isn't better known!
I quite enjoyed it. Lots of those bad 80s one liners that I love so much, a decent amount of action and more gore than you'd probably expect - all of the physical effects are really good too. Treat Williams is great, and Joe Piscopo is actually decent, amazingly enough.
Also quite amazing to me, it has a Divimax DVD, with a bunch of features, including a number of deleted scenes, an audio commentary, screenplay, promos, presskit, etc. And, of course, it's only $5 on amazon.com. I think any B-movie lover would appreciate this one.
Yes, I'm a big, big fan of this film and I always recommend it to people who like zombie flicks, buddy cop flicks or action/comedy films in general. I had an old Fangoria magazine that featured this film just before it's release and I always wanted to see it, 10 years later I did and loved every minute of it. I got my copy for about $2 and the DVD is worth every penny for the extras :thumbup:
Got this one recommended to me on the recommendations thread, and I'm planning on getting it for Christmas :smile:
They used to play this on HBO all the time. I really liked it, but when I tried watching it a few years ago I didn't think I sat through it.
I have a VHS copy around here somewhere. I'm going to have to give it another shot.
