While training to fulfill their dreams of being jujitsu champions, Fujio (Tadanobu Asano) and Mitsuo (Shô Aikawa) work in a fire extinguisher factory. But when a mob of zombies suddenly invade Tokyo, they’ll have to employ their limited fighting skills to battle the undead. They soon join with other zombie fighters to try to reclaim the city. Directed by Sakichi Sato, this Japanese zombie-movie satire is based on the manga by Yusaku Hanakuma.
As much as I love Tadanobu Asano in just about everything he does, TOKYO ZOMBIE is utter garbage. While the film's duo is hilarious (when they are together, which isn't often), this J-comedy is just way too cartoon-y but Troma fans will eat it up!
Like a lot of Japanese films, this movie drags ass in a lot of places, and it almost feels like two different movies in one, but what it has to offer is extremely funny and bizarre. You haven't seen another zombie movie quite like it.
