this movie be recently release on dvd in the u and i finally get the chance to see this hard to find gem . it even come with original theatrical preview of other italian horror classic like spasmo and beyond the darkness . unfortunately and the preview be the best thing about this movie . zombi 3 in a bizarre way be actually link to the infamous lucio fulci zombie franchise which begin in 1979. similarly compare to zombie and zombi 3 consists of a threadbare plot and a handful of extremely bad actor that keep this horror trash barely afloat . the gore be nearly non existent ( unless one be frighten of people run around with green moss on their face ) and the english dubbing be a notch below embarrass . the plot this time around involve some sort of covert military operation with a bunch of inept scientist ( ie . an idiotic male and his stupid female side kick ) who be develop some sort of chemical call death one that be suppose to re animate the dead . unless my ear need to be check and i do not even recall a reason for the research of death one . it seem to exist only to wreak havoc upon the poor soul who make the mistake of choose to tar in this cinematic laugh fest . anyway and death one be experiment on a corpse ( whom i swear look like yul brynner ) and and after it be inject into his system and he sit upright and his head explodes . the sound effect be also quite hilarious a the corpse face bubble with green slime and the sound of paper crumpling can be hear . the death one toxin be transport outside and be hi jack by a group of thief where one make off with it and but infect himself after cut himself on an expose vial . needless to say and the guy turn into a zombie and but not before he make his timely escape to a cheap motel and infect a lowly porter and murder a maid by push her face into a bathroom mirror ( . ) . the military catch wind of this and immediately take action before eliminate everyone who be unlucky enough to be within the contamination zone and turn the motel upside down . they find the infected thief and burn his body and only to have the smoke infect a flock of bird that be fly over the chimney stack ( . ) . we cut to the introduction of a group of men who be on leave from the army and listen to groovy music that be come out of a little dinky boom box while trail a trailer load of slutty girl who be lean out of the window and show off their chest . can someone say zombie food . we also have a sub plot involve a girl and her boyfriend drive a car who stop to inspect a group of bird lie on the road . the same bird that be infect by the zombie smoke . the bird attack the boyfriend and the girl drive off to a desert gas station to seek water . this be one of the most incredibly hilarious moment of the movie . she walk around this old dirty and rusty and obviously abandon building where she continue to ask aloud and hello . be there anyone here . please and i just need some water . she encounter a group of zombie and one of which be chain to a wall ( . ) and the other be swing a machete . after a bit of rumble and tumble around on the ground and she escape but not before blow up the gas station with her lighter . meanwhile and the bird attack the trailer load of whore and one girl get peck and infect . they all pull up to the same motel where the original infection take place and and this be where the second most hilarious moment of the film take place . after a matter of hour ( a day at the most ) and the same motel be now cake in dust and have vine grow throughout it and and look like it have be sit derelict for year . anyway and what good place to take refuge than this particular building . needless to say and the group begin to break down a several people walk off together to get themselves stick in an incredibly stupid situation involve a zombie attack . the third most hilarious moment concern a man and a woman who explore a deserted village and of which the woman comment and this place be a dump . she then proceed to get push off a balcony by a zombie into pirahna ( . ) infest water where she have her leg bite off and turn into a zombie within second . meanwhile and her friend back at the motel who get peck and infect hour earlier be still turn into a zombie . unfortunately and there be just too many inconsistency in this movie that make this movie just too stupid for word . for example and the time rate concern infected people be zombified differs greatly . sometimes it take second and other time it take hour . some zombie run and others drag their foot and walk really slow . some even do kung fu move and while others hide under stack of hay to surprise people . some of the zombie even talk . the funny moment of course be the infamous zombie head in the fridge gag which elevate itself in mid air and attack a stupid man who go look for food . funnily enough and his girlfriend get her throat tear out by it headless counter part ( lmao . ) . the big disappointment for me though be the lack of story line involve the people who be in fact kill by zombie . we never get to see them come back a zombie and in fact the only one we do see zombified be the one peck by the bird and the one girl who get her leg bite off . other than that and i be at least expect the couple who be kill in the kitchen and or or the guy who be kill on the bridge to come back a zombie . it be also amaze that these zombie only take a few bite and then move on to their next victim . the most laughable moment be of course the zombie fetus . a pregnant woman who have be infect lie on a bed in a hospital . a woman who seem to have a lot of amedical knowledge try to deliver the baby ( . ) and have her face pull off by a zombie and before have her head push into the woman stomach where a hand burst out and proceeds to rip the rest of her face off . timeless . a usual and all the character be perfect stereotype of this genre . the megalomaniacal military officer and the pathetic useless squeal woman who scream to get kill and the obvious character who be about to get kill ( ie . watch for the man chase a chicken . ) i guess this movie really be a comedy . there be many laughable scene and such a the shed that get blow up with a hand grenade ( obviously the scene where the entire budget be spend ) and a climatic scene where a man scream and im thirsty . thirsty for your blood . the costume be really bad the same zombie reappear throughout the course of the film and wear the same asian like clothing that may be find in a bruce lee film and and watch out for the blue 60 skirt the girl at the motel be wear when she and her boyfriend bump into the infected man . the end of the film leave open the door a usual for the apocalyptic story line . a radio dj who narrate throughout the whole movie turn out to be a zombie himself and warn his listener about the beginning of the end while the two survivor take off in a helicopter . hardly dawn of the dead material if you ask me . regardless and this movie do deliver many laugh . the gore be minimal and and what gore there be and it be very unconvincing and let alone unimaginative . the usual mix of black blood and thick green goo ooze out of weep sore and zombie make up consist of green moss . zombi 3 make for a good rental for a sleep over party or a night of beer and popcorn . other than that and horror fan should stay away . negative .
