The first third of this movie has almost nothing to do with zombies, but don't let that turn you off. It is packed with hilarious situations, and you will laugh your ass off before the carnage starts.

About one third or midway through the film the action starts, and it is satisfying. While the makeup and effects are pretty low budget, it does not detract from the overall movie at all.

This is the best zombie movie I have ever seen. In this film you care about who lives or dies. The characters are well developed in the beginning so it makes the slaughter meaningful.

Sam Lee and Jordan Chan are awesome as far as being funny, such as when they admire the guy with big balls.

This film contains just enough gore to satisfy gore hounds such as myself, but not too much to gross anyone out. Basically, it has the perfect amount of gore. There are severed limbs and heads and occasional splashes of blood, but no gross out Bad Taste type stuff.

I found this movie to be thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to end, and there is not anything I can really think of negative to say about it. I suppose some people could be turned off by the slow beginning, but I loved it. This movie is genius.

It's hilarious and there are many nods to video games, including the reloading icon, and Crazy Bee figuring out how to kill the zombies. (Watch it, you'll see)

While not the goriest zombie movie ever, I found it to be my favorite. It has lots of humor, but it doesn't fail to make you jump either. The movie definitely takes a sharp turn into horror mode towards the end, but I didn't find it out of place, especially after someone in particular is killed. (I told you, watch it and see.) Also, the incredibly grim ending was awesome, and definitely more original than most crappy endings in a lot of zombie movies. I would recommend this to fans of any zombie movies, or fans of Sam Lee's laugh your ass of comedy. This movie is very well acted and it's hilarious...and it's a gory zombie movie!!! What more could you ask for in a film? Okay, maybe some nudity, but this movie is truly a must for your HK DVD collection!!!

Aside from the pleasing sight of Angela Tong's skin-tight wardrobe, Bio Zombie offers scant entertainment. It was obviously meant as a light summer film combining slapstick humor and over-the-top gore as evidenced by the DVDs festive box art (which is the second best thing about the film). But whereas the broad comedy patented by action star Jackie Chan actually propelled even the weakest of stories along, Bio Zombie's attempts at humor simply involve the asinine antics of two miscreants and their rubbery, oft-contorted faces. Admittedly, Sam Lee is FAR less annoying here than in some of his later films (notably Gen-X Cops), but he's annoying nonetheless. For example, a scene of Sam Lee picking his nose and wiping his "treasure" on Gordon Chan's leather coat is NOT funny. It's not. And no matter how many thousands of Hong Kong theater patrons laughed till they cried upon seeing Lee wipe his offending gift on Chan's jacket, booger picking on film stopped being funny sometime between Animal House and episodes of America's Funniest Home Videos.

Zombies terrorizing the occupants of a shopping mall is usually a promising premise (it also worked well in the fun '80s undead flick Night of the Comet), but a paper-thin plot and an ending that rivals A Hero Never Dies' in sheer lameness, kill what otherwise would have been a can't-miss idea. There's a brief attempt at explaining why zombies are terrorizing a largely unoccupied mall, but the set-up is so minimal it's amazing the film had anywhere near enough material to reach 97 minutes. Plodding zombies (are there any other kind?) roam the narrow halls of a near-deserted shopping mall intent on feasting on the flesh of our bumbling cast who desperately seek a means of escape. Gore, lame sub plots and close ups of Angela Tong's ass ensure, resulting in a conclusion so unsatisfying I actually had to skip back twice thinking I'd bought (!) yet another defective Mei Ah disk. Alas, the ending sucked (as does the alternate ending provided on this otherwise bare-bones DVD which, inexplicably, results in a conclusion so similar to the other one you have to wonder why anyone bothered filming both versions at all).

You could do worse than Bio Zombie (Sexy and Dangerous pops immediately into mind), but don't expect to have anywhere near as much fun as the box art promises.

THE MOVIE: 4.5/10
ANGELA TONG'S SHORTS: 10/10

Hong Kong's answer to George Romero's Dawn Of The Dead. A bio-chemical weapon, disguised as a soft drink, has the power to turn people into flesh-eating zombies.

In deal gone bad, a man steals the drink and wanders into the night. As two young VCD sellers (Woody Invincible and Crazy Bee) are returning to the mall with their bosses' car, they hit the man and pour the drink down the man's throat hoping to revive him.

Unsure of what to do, they bring the man back to the mall with them. The mall closes, and soon there are zombies everywhere! A small group of mall employees must bond together to try and fight their way out.

The first 45 minutes pure set-up and character development, and last 45 are straight out hi-jinks and action!

I got a VHS dubbed version of Bio-Zombie and its really bad. They dubbing is horrible, but most dubbed movies are, it really takes away from the horror aspects of the movie. Making it a comedy instead.

There's a great part when suddenly the movie goes video game and starts showing stats for everyone who's fighting the zombies. I don't know what the mean though, it was in Chinese writing.

Any zombie or HK fan will tell you this is a great pick-up. But please, try to get it subtitled!
