“OK! Lets get one thing straight right now. If youu0026#39;re looking for a serious movie about cops v robbers a la Robert de Niro, Al Pacino or something similar this is not the place to come.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf on the other hand you want an action packed, leave your brain in the lobby, tongue in cheek zombie flick, with a side order of buddy-cops take on dastardly criminals thrown in then you arenu0026#39;t going to get much better than this.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCops Mortis (Treat Williams) and Bigelow (Joe Piscopo) are on the trail of nutty old Vincent Price (unfortunately not given much screen time) bringing dead criminals back to life so they can carry out jewellery store robberies. Of course being dead already makes it a tad difficult for the police to kill them.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMortis comes a cropper fairly early on, but worry not as he is soon resurrected with the regeneration machine found at the dodgy research company that they think might be connected with the crimes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe only problem is Mortis now has only twelve hours to solve the case before he decomposes, so things move on at a fair old pace after this as the lads do battle with various zombies, and a Chinese butchers shop full of meat that comes back to life!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eGreat fun for fans of u0026#39;Braindeadu0026#39; or u0026#39;The Evil Deadu0026#39; style horrors, and anyone else who wants a film that they donu0026#39;t have to take to seriously. Also stands up well to repeated viewing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e8/10 I say, but judging by some of the other IMBD reviews others wouldnu0026#39;t (boring gits!)”
