Too much of everything
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
The reason i watch this movie because it directed by Wilson Yip the guy that brought us the Ip Man trilogy and many great martial art movie like Flash Point,SPL:Kill Zone so for me it really interesting to find out that before all of that he did a horror comedy called:Biozombie and probably his first successful movie until this day.So the movie is about 2 slacker named Woody Invincible and Crazy Bee that own a DVD shop in a mall has to defend themselves and friends during a zombie outbreak cause by them when they ram into a guy with a car then accidentally make him drink a soda that has zombie virus in it.Pretty crazy plot right ? But the thing only get better when they drove the car with the guy inside it to the mall and we has our movie.The movie itself is chessy,campy,the character is very wacky and entertaining to watch but my issues is sometime it getting a little bit soap opera and the gore effect is very terrible when they jump cut and blurry the scene every time a zombie appear,some weird attempt to recreate scene from the game House of the Dead but near the end there are a quite badass zombie fight scene in the parking lot and a bittersweet ending that really surprise me
Although I am not a big fan of "Zom-Coms" (Zombie-Comedies) after seeing the high rating on IMDb I decided to give this one a try. Needless to say I found it to be more than a little disappointing for several reasons. First, it is my opinion that this particular sub-genre is a very difficult undertaking to begin with due to the simple fact that zombies are not typically "funny" and any comedy at their expense risks lessening their overall value--and subsequently that of the movie as a whole. Therefore, I believe that it is extremely important to have the audience invested in the main characters as their welfare or predicament is quite often the key to the entire film. Unfortunately, in this particular case the two main characters named "Woody Invincible" (Jordan Chan) and "Crazy Bee" (Sam Lee) were hardly worth any concern or sympathy as they were nothing more than mere street thugs. Perhaps if they had been "adorable losers" it might have changed things but as it was I certainly didn't care for them one way or the other. As a matter of fact, if anything the only characters of any interest was a mugging victim named "Rolls" (Angela Tong) and an abused wife named "Mrs. Kui" (Dorothy Elias-Fahn) due in part because of their unfortunate circumstances but also because but they both lent some nice scenery to an otherwise drab atmosphere. And then there was the awful decision to give ridiculous names to the characters like "Jelly" (Suk Yin Lai) and the aforementioned "Rolls". Quite frankly, I found this action to be both cheap and childish. Ditto the entire movie. Below average.
In the 1998 Hong Kong zombie/comedy "Biozombie," we meet a pair of very amusing ne'er-do-wells, Woody Invincible (Jordan Chan) and his younger sidekick, Crazy Bee (Sam Lee). When not engaged at their regular occupation as clerks at a bootlegged VCD store in the New Trend Plaza Mall, the two boastful cowards can usually be found either smoking pot or gambling and whoring in nearby Macao. As in another Asian horror film that I recently saw, 1960's "Jigoku," their lives are suddenly altered when their car accidentally strikes a crazed pedestrian. But rather than pulling a hit and run, as in "Jigoku," Woody and Bee here make the mistake of helping the dying pedestrian, not knowing that the soft drink that they pour down his throat actually consists of an Iraqi biochemical weapon that can transform anyone into the lurching, flesh-hungry undead! Soon enough, the zombie scourge has increased exponentially, and our hapless heroes, along with some hotties from the mall's beauty parlor AND an obnoxious cell phone dealer and his gorgeous wife, are playing hide-and-seek with the gut munchers in the locked and deserted shopping emporium....Anyway, "Biozombie" succeeds wildly at both its missions. It is both very funny and a fairly gripping zombie experience. The film is extremely fast paced--the zombies here are a pretty hyperkinetic bunch--and director Wilson Yip does a terrific job at wringing shocks and yucks on his obviously limited budget. Though his zombie makeup and FX are nowhere near the level that fans of Tom Savini may be accustomed to, they are certainly good and effective enough. It's loads of fun watching our two stoner heroes morph from empty braggadocio to full-fledged, superefficient zombie slayers, and most of the film's laffs come as a result of the hilarious expressions on these dudes' faces; they seem to be mugging ALL the time. The relationship between the two is a touching one, especially toward the film's end, as Bee's idolization of his older mentor becomes more apparent. The film gives the gorehounds out there any number of pleasing set pieces, too, including a frenzied fight in a security office, a zombie free-for-all in a sushi bar, a nerve-racking attempt to procure some handcuff keys out of an imminent zombie's mouth, the use of a power drill (!) on a zombie's head, and that final melee in an underground garage. The picture is nothing demanding or terribly earth shaking, but it sure is fun, right to its surprisingly downbeat ending. This fine-looking DVD from Media Blasters, by the way, offers the option of excellently translated English subtitles or what has been called "Engrish" subtitles, which are hilariously mistranslated in the worst pidgin English style. That latter option is certainly not recommended for use during an initial viewing, largely incomprehensible as these subtitles are, but is highly entertaining later on. However the film is viewed, though, this cult item should readily be acknowledged as a significant addition to the zombie/comedy subgenre.
Okay now, let me start this off by saying that I'm a sucker for anything with the word zombie in it. And every time I come across another movie that has the word zombie even remotely associated with it I'll have to sit down and watch. Unfortunately, time and time again I am tricked, and find myself sitting in front of the TV being inflicted with the pain of yet another crap horror movie.Often times I log onto IMDb and read these reviews in the hopes of getting a "heads up", and maybe stumbling upon some lost zombie gem of the film. Maybe and supercritical. When I read good reviews for a film such as this it only strengthens my doubt in my own opinions of the zombie genre.The truth! This movie was bad. This movie was bad with a Chinese accent. Save your dollar, put on your old copy of "Night of the Living Dead", and order in some takeout.
