Kung Fu Zombie: Anyone seen it?

Has anyone seen it? Is it any good? Intriguing title, but it kinda sounds like that's all it has.

Kung Fu Zombie is a great flick. It's fun, cheesy, wacky Asian cinema at its best. I think it's even better than the Mr. Vampire movies, but I don't know if your taste is the same as mine. Some people on this forum don't even seem to like "badmovies" at all. If you do end up enjoying Kung Fu Zombie, you should also check out Kung Fu From Beyond The Grave. It's even better.

Cool, how's it compare to say Redneck Zombies, Bad Taste, Drunken Wu Tang, that level of 'badness'?

Hmmm, level of "badness".....that's a tough one. There are so many nuances to that term. I haven't seen any of the films you just mentioned, so I can't make any comparisons there. I guess it's about as "bad" as "The Devil" aka "The Devil's Express" (another crazy Asian horror movie) if you've ever seen that one, but "Kung Fu Zombie" is funnier. If you've seen any of the "Mr. Vampire" movies, it's kind of along those lines, but cheesier. You've really just got to see it and answer that question for yourself.

I've not seen any of those. I'd never heard of Mr. Vampire, I gotta check one out, any recommendation about which movie?

The Mr. Vampire movies can be watched in any order, since the stories are all different. The first one is a great introduction, but it's more polished than the later ones which have more of a b-movie feel to them.

I have a DVD that I bought a couple years ago that has "Kung Fu From Beyond The Grave" and "A Chinese Vampire Story" (aka Mr. Vampire 5) as a double feature. I recommend that one if it is still available. Most of the Mr. Vampire movies are still readily available on ebay.

I have Kung-Fu Zombie. Got on DVD for as a spur-of-the-moment purchase when I found it that the bottom of a bargain bin. Awesome, awesome, awesome flick. Wacky as all get-out, and bursting with b-level badness to the max!
