Directed by Dan Hoskins
New York's Troma Films continue their grand tradition of relentlessly bad taste with this horror epic, which follows the exploits of an all-girl motorcycle gang -- who go by the quaint moniker "The Cycle Sluts" -- and their fearless leader Rox (Catherine Carlin), who offers the freedom of the road to any frustrated small-town girl willing to slap on the leathers. Things take a nasty turn for Rox and her violent femmes when the gang rides into Zariah -- a town in the slimy grip of a deranged mortician named Ralph (Don Calfa), who has been busily turning the locals into cannibalistic zombie slaves. As if that weren't enough... a busload of blind, orphaned teens become stranded within spitting distance of Ralph's undead army, and it's up to Rox's twisted sisters to save the day. Troma is often guilty of slapping outrageously goofy titles on not-so-funny films (e.g. Surf Nazis Must Die, Fat Guy Goes Nutzoid!, etc.), but this is something of an exception, with wonderfully sleazy performances, lots of zany energy and many clever references to zombie and biker-movie genres. ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide

""Chopper Chicks In Zombietown" (I can not BELIEVE that SPOUT actually had this one!) ... This movie stars Joan Jet (!) as the 'bull-dyke' leader of an all girl 'Motorcycle Gang' that invades a small town just as The Zombies (which are several miles away! ... AND they don't move too fast!) are awakened!   " [More]

lost interest.
Any script audacious enough to smash together blind orphans, lesbian bikers, flesh-eating townspeople, and a morally conflicted young midget is certainly worth committing to celluloid. Writer/director Dan Hoskins may not turn such material into as auteur-worthy a statement as John Waters or Russ Meyer would, but he never allows himself (or his audience) to stop smiling while he tries. The zombie effects and the "suspense" here are fodder for laugher -- mostly intentional -- but the biker-gal glee and the feminist subtext are as genuine as in any classic exploitation film. Throw in a pre-Sling Blade Billy Bob Thornton (desperate for a paycheck around the time of One False Move) and a post-MTV Martha Quinn (similarly desperate, for obvious reasons), and you've got a late-night cable delight that's just screaming for a straight-to-video sequel. "Chopper Chicks in Outer Space," anyone? ~ Brian J. Dillard, All Movie Guide
