Lena (Sola Aoi) is part of a group of strippers performing at a mostly
empty house somewhere in the middle of nowhere, and they are less than
certain their manager will ever pay them, but still he tries to trick them
into prostitution from time to time - and Lena is klutzy enough to fall
for it every now and again ... Then the girl discover a door behind a
curtain in their changing room, a door that leads to a basement full of
occult stuff, including the fabled book of the dead. Truth to be told, the
girls don't know all that much to do with the stuff, only one of them,
Maria (Mari Sakurai), who fancies herself to be a performance artist
rather than a stripper, starts chanting the spells from the book - and
before you know it, the dead rise from their graves - to visit the strip
club and go after the strippers. One of the strippers promptly falls prey
to the zombies, Lena manages to escape with fellow strippers Ginko and
Nene, who has been bitten by a zombie and slowly turns into one of them
... but Maria reads in the book some more and learns how to control the
zombies and turns them into her army of the dead. Lena, armed with a
chainsaw, and Ginko, armed with a samurai sword, do their best to ward off
the zombies and stay alive, but eventually they realize this is not
enough, they need to return to the stripclub and put an end to it where it
all begun, in the creepy basement. There, they have a final confrontation
with Maria and her zombie hordes, made all the worse by the fact that
Ginko has been bitten, turns into a zombie and shoots Lena - but only hits
a metal hip flask that shields her heart. However, in the end it's not her
who defeats Maria but the Blue Ogre (Minoru Torihada), a department
manager from hell sent upstairs to fix the living dead problem ... In
recent years, with movies like Zombie
Strippers, Zombies!
Zombies! Zombies! and Stripperland,
strippers have for some reason invaded the zombie genre to at best mixed
results. Bit Tits Zombie now is the Japanese take on the
genre-bending subgenre, and it's one of the more inspired genre entries,
mainly because it self-consciously goes over-the-top with its story,
remains unapologetic about the girls being strippers, keeps them in (and
sometimes out of) sexy, revealing and also campy costumes all of the time,
treats its silly story with all the comic disrespect it deserves, manages
to be really funny at times, features quite a few quite inspired gore
scenes, and all the action is actually well executed. That all said, the
film isn't without its letdowns, the setup for its feeble plot lasts way
too longsome fight scenes seem repetitious, and some of the characters
could have used a bit more development. But that said, as a party movie Big
Tits Zombie is just as its title suggests (even if the title in fact
is misleading, there is no zombie with big tits in the whole
picture - then again, who cares?).
