Sakichi Sato’s Tokyo Zombie makes its way to DVD.

This Japanese zombie comedy features two wannabe ju-jitsu champions who dispose of a body at a toxic waste dump. Unfortunately for them, other people have done likewise, and the undead are eager to escape the sludge and wreak havoc on the city. Five years later, Japan is beset by class wars were the rich and powerful have enslaved the poor, including our bungling martial artists, who are forced to battle the zombies for sport, gladiator style.

Part black comedy, social commentary, and sheer lunacy, this movie was written by director Sato (Ichi the Killer). It features limited gore – it’s a little light on the zombies – but lots of plot and slapstick, and is sure to please zombie fans that also enjoy quirky Asian cinema and the odd buddy movie.

It’s based on a Japanese magna comic strip of the same name.
