Plot

A go-go dancer (McGowan) is flung into a world of zombies with her ex-boyfriend and only one good leg. As you can tell from the DVD Cover they found her a rather powerful artificial leg to replace the one the zombies took from her.

Pros

It's a zombie movie with two very lovely ladies so it can't be all bad. There's plenty of gore and violence to keep your attention with a little humor mixed in. Quentin is also given another opportunity to play a psycho. And last but not least you have the very lovely Rose McGowan in almost every scene in some very nice outfits.

Cons

Rodriguez went out of his way to make this film look dated; the picture at times really looks like crap. Replacing a person's leg with a fully functional machine gun is a little too over-the-top even by my standards.

Recommendation

I love zombie movies and picked up this movie along with "Death Proof" thinking I would like this film much better; I was wrong. This is a decent popcorn flick just don't let your expectations get too high.
