This film is so off the wall it has to be a comedy classic. Elliot Gould was fantastic as the Zombie, (remember him in such classics as Capricorn One?). It does remind me of a B-Movie, daft but highly enjoyable.Can't help wondering if it influenced "Anchorman" (Ted Burgundy. But perhaps not.The rest of the cast look familiar and perhaps have appeared in other American films/TV productions, but Eliott Gould appears to be the only Famous face, (albeit in heavy white foundation to compliment his "undead" Zombie persona). If you get the opportunity to see this film give it a go, the surreal humour will not disappoint.Can't help thinking David Cameron would make a good Zombie, hang on I thought he was already!!!)
I am amused at other reviewers taking this film seriously and completely ignoring the fact that this is classic trash/black humor film. It is so trashy that it is funny as hell (Especially the Pacadena scene). The famous protagonist artist also makes wonderful job, and it is amazing that he was out-of-the-box enough to be engaged in this extraordinary (I mean, yes, literally) film. If you want/expect to see a horror movie, then do not watch it. If you want to see romantic comedy, then do not watch it. If you want to see philosophical, intellectual comedy, then do not watch it. This film is only trash black humor (though it has some elements of social satire. Not more, but not less.
I worked on this film for nine weeks as Elliott's stand-in. It was the first and last job i had in the film industry. Even though I got to know all the actors and crew - Even though I worked up to 16 hours a day for nine weeks- Even though my name appears in the credits as a PA Even though I expected to have a biased opinion--I can't even watch the whole thing, this film truly sucks, and not in the good way - you know, films that are so bad, their good. Not this one - this is a truly awful piece of crap. It never made it to theaters, TV or rental. I found it on Amazon, bought it for $4, watched about 1 hour of it, checked the credits for my name and stuck it up on the shelf (forever)The idiot that gave this 10 stars really skewed the rating which, without that vote would be a 1.5 at best. They should have a 0 star rating for films like this.
Of any film I have ever seen this has to have the most problems with appearing boom microphones - they are everywhere. Besides this, Elliot Gould perhaps should have known better, as he is wasted in a feeble, unfunny comedy with little or no plot direction. There is nothing to warrant seeing this film.
