From Description Woody and Bee are a pair of young punks working at a DVD store. Out for a joy ride, the two hit a pedestrian and end up with a dead body in their trunk! Un-fortunately for Woody and Bee, this is just the beginning. The dead body is infected with a strange biochemical formula, which transforms the hapless mall goers into an army of blood-hungry zombies!

Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 19 Average rating: 4.5 "Bill & Ted VS Day Of The Dead" Worth while, almost follows all of Romero's Zombie rules, plenty of gore, but the gore could have been done a lot better. Fortunatly the sillyness of it all totally makes up for it, I actually even think the crappy english voice over adds to the sillyness of it all, check it out! "Gotta love the ketch factor" If you're looking for a movie that will scare you, look somewhere else. This is a must for everyone that loves zombie or incredibly cheesy movies. Low budget, high action, and a great story. The DVD offers English dubbing, and "Engrish" Subtitles. One of the main characters carries around a Game boy camera (remember those?), a poor sushi chef turned Zombie tries to woo his crush by offering her finger sashimi, and of course our two main heroes take on a hoard of Zombies in a parking garage, where rolling heads and the decaying flesh of zombies is enough to make anyone's sides ache from laughing. I saw this movie from a friend's DVD, and now I'm buying my own copy, I loved it that much. "Nice remake of classic" I bought this movie following the reviews on this page. I love ALL zombie movies. This one is a good time with some blood and gore in it, The flesh falling from the zombies is badly done (think my 4 year old could do better) but the story as a whole is pretty good. Then the part where they get there "BIOs and Weapons" haha thats a trip on its own. $15 is a little high but whatcha gonna do, A must for Zombie move buffs. "Amusing, but far from brilliant." Biozombie (Wilson Yip, 1998) Yip (The Mummy, Aged 19) turns in another of his comedy/horror/action flicks here, and really, it's nothing you haven't seen before. Granted, you may not have seen it all put together in this way. Jordan Chan (think of him as the Hong Kong version of Vin Diesel) stars as the amusingly-named Woody Invincible, a stoner and wannabe tough guy who runs a bootleg VCD store with his buddy and fellow stoner Crazy B (popular character actor Sam Lee in one of his first few movies). Their boss asks them to go pick up his car from the repair shop. On the way back from doing so, they hit a government agent who's carrying a very nasty solution that happens to be concealed in a soft drink bottle. Through various misadventures, said government official drinks some of said formula, and becomes a zombie, bent on infecting others around him. The mall closes, and... you can guess the rest. The usual horrible dubbing is found here, despite the American producers pulling in a wealth of voice talent rarely found outside mega-million-selling Japanese cartoon series. It doesn't help matters that the situations themselves are silly, rather than funny, and the directions the writers chose to go with some of them are nothing short of ludicrous. One reviewer referred to it as "Mallrats with zombies," and that pretty much sums it up; if you're a Kevin Smith fan with a closet fetish for bad horror films, this should be right up your alley. Otherwise, you can probably leave it on the video store shelf for the guy who's finally gotten bored with Clerks after his millionth viewing. ** "Silly fun" Bio-Zombie is one of those movies that surprised the pants off of me. I'm a zombie completist so any movie that features the undead I will want to watch, whether the movie has a reputation as being a stinkbomb or not. Well let me tell you Bio-Zombie is one of the most pleasureable experiences I've ever had watching a dead dude film. The two central characters are a couple of young punks who go by the names "Crazy Bee" and "Woody Invincible". The two own a small DVD counter in a shopping mall. While driving a car on an errand for a friend, the guys accidentally hit a man who was standing in the middle of the road. The man survives and while trying to help him up, our two heroes feed him a soft drink that happens to be a biochemical experiment engineered by some Mafioso types. The two guys drive the man back to the mall in an effort to clean him up, but then of course the man soon turns into a zombie. Soon, the contagion spreads and the mall is overrun by hordes of the undead. Anyone sitting down to watch Bio-Zombie should not expect a horror movie. It's a zombie movie but not a horror movie. Huh? Well imagine if Kevin Smith had decided to add packs of zombies into his movie "Mallrats" and that will give you a pretty good idea of the tone of this film. Witty dialogue, vanguard youth, clever pop culture references all of it done Hong-Kong style. Even though more of a comedy than a horror film, this certainly doesn't disappoint in the gore department. Lots of arterial sprayings and gut-munching Romero-style. The fact that there's no zombie action until the midway point did nothing to curb my interest, the first half of the film was very good at providing laughs and setting the tone. Even the two central dweebs, who were extremely annoying at first and who aren't much smarter than a couple of ten watt lightbulbs, really grew on me after a while. Other great characters are "Sushi Boy" who becomes a zombie with feelings and compassion, and "Rolls" one of the cutest girls I've ever seen in an Asian movie. Sure, Bio-Zombie is dumb as all get out but the filmmakers KNOW this. Bottom line is that Bio-Zombie scores humongous points in the fun department and that is why you should watch it.
