The Overtime Theater is running a series of Midnight Movies on Saturday nights. We’ve mentioned this before, but there has been a schedule change you may be interested in. Instead of the previously touted Giorgio Moroderized version of Metropolis, you can itness the spectacle of KUNG FU ZOMBIE!
Here’s a mini-review from the Overtime’s inhouse martial arts enthusiast, Scott McDowell:
Kung Fu Zombie is a charming flick loaded with fast-paced martial arts fighting. The story is too over the top to explain here, but it’s worth mentioning that this film has zombies, ghosts, a vampire, a wizard, possessions, an exorcism, paintings that shoot lasers out of their eyes, and a healthy dose of well-executed kung fu! All of this is packed into a film on the short side of 80 minutes. Intentionally funny, Kung Fu Zombie is a hilarious, tightly edited romp of a film. The big pay-off is at the end of the film when Billy Chong fights an undead vampire martial arts master. The energy and absurdity of this scene is magnificent. If you’re expecting a lot of zombies, you may be disappointed, but if you’re looking for an entertaining ride on the wonderful roller-coaster of crazy kung fu films, Kung Fu Zombie won’t disappoint!
Hard to resist with a description like that. It will give you a reason to stick around after seeing The Brain That Wouldn’t Die: A New Musical.
