Big Tits Zombie
This movie involves two things. Guess what they are.
Based on an obscure manga, Big Tits Zombie (aka Big Tits Dragon) is a Japanese comedy-action-horror film starring adult actress Sora Aoi. Aoi is an exotic dancer named Rena Jodo who has returned from Mexico and is now staying with four other strippers: Ginko, Dana, Nene, and Maria. They struggle to get by in their lonely club that receives few customers. When their boss closes the club, they are forced to live in a local bath house and entertain gangsters for a job. Hilarity Ensues. Oh yeah... the bath house was previously owned by occultists who committed suicide.
Maria soon finds the Book of the Dead in the basement and unleashes a horde of zombies who are under her control. Of course, it's up to this Ragtag Bunch of Misfits to stop the Zombie Apocalypse.
Tropes used in Big Tits Zombie include:
- Anthropomorphic Food: When the dead are summoned to rise, the sushi the girls were preparing comes alive and attacks them.
- Anti-Hero: None of the girls are very heroic. They lie, cheat, steal, and at one point, they run over an old man just in case he might've been a zombie.
- An Arm and a Leg: Limbs fly off with regularity.
- Ax Crazy: It turns out that Maria is crazier than the girls originally thought.
- Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work: A demon pops out to drag Maria to Hell just as Rena is about to be pushed in.
- Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Averted. As expected, some girls get turned into zombies and the results are not pretty.
- The Bet: The girls gamble with the yakuza and each other. One bet involves Rena and Ginko sumo wrestling each other. When Ginko loses, she has to perform Body Sushi.
- Black Humor
- Bloody Hilarious
- Boom! Headshot!: Genko only has about three bullets but uses them wisely.
- Car Fu: The girls run over a (possible) zombie with a van.
- Chainsaw Good: This movie loves this trope. One of the first zombie-kills, only a few moments in the film, is via chainsaw. When Rena finds said chainsaw, she is overjoyed. It even sparkles.
- Cheaters Never Prosper: Rena tries to cheat at a gambling game with loaded dice and Genko catches her.
- Clothing Damage: Two counts. Both featuring Rena and Ginko...
- After an argument involving the loaded dice mentioned above, the two girls start to fight and end up tearing their tops off.
- Later, a zombie attacks the two girls and ends up ripping their tops off in much the same manner.
- Cool Hat: Rena has a sombrero from Mexico, although she normaly has it flung on her back and not worn the traditional way.
- Combat Pragmatist: Rena throws the aforementioned Cool Hat and somehow knocks a zombie on his ass.
- Dark Action Girl: Genko
- Dead Baby Comedy
- Dead Line News: A reporter gives an account of the outbreak while zombies approach from the background. She's eaten a few moments later.
- Dead Little Sister: Part of Ginko's backstory.
- Dirty Coward: When the zombies attack, Maria takes off and leaves the others to fend for themselves.
- Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting: Even though none of the girls express knowledge in martial arts, they can perform all sorts of high kicks when the zombies come. Also, becomming a zombie can apparently give you martial arts skills.
- Fiery Redhead: Maria, although she obviously dyes her hair.
- Five-Man Band
- The Hero - Rena
- The Lancer - Ginko
- Team Mom - Nene
- The Chick - Dana (while they're all women, she serves the role of the peacekeeper)
- Smart Guy - Maria
- Fortune Teller: Nene practices with tarot cards on the side. Her predictions are pretty accurate, too.
- Furo Scene: Oddly averted despite many scenes taking place in a bath house.
- Genre Savvy: Maria points out that the creatures are zombies and explains how they work based on Night of the Living Dead and other zombie movies.
- Gratuitous English: Their boss briefly greats the girls in English when they arrive at his office.
- Gratuitous Spanish: Rena answers her cell in Spanish ("hola") for no particular reason. It's shortly after she explains she has been to Mexico.
- At the same time, if Rena learned Spanish while in Mexico, she would not say "hola" when she answered the phone but would be more likely to say "bueno".
- Mister Big: The leader of the yakuza is a little person.
- High-Pressure Blood: Anytime someone gets stabbed, expect a fountain.
- Infinite Supplies: Averted when Rena runs out of gas for her chainsaw. Genko also runs out of bullets for her gun almost immediately, resulting in a One Bullet Left moment towards the end.
- In Medias Res: The story begins with Ginko suffering from a zombie attack, gets saved by Rena, goes into a fight scene, then Rena has a Flash Back to the previous events.
- Interplay of Sex and Violence: At one point, after a zombie has removed Rena and Ginko's tops, it gets cut open. Blood then sprays across their breasts.
- I'm a Humanitarian: The undead yakuza devour the bath house owner as a Call Back to the previous Body Sushi scene. This time, however, the woman is the meal.
- It Can't Be Helped: Spoken by Maria.
- Japanese Christian: It's implied that Rena converted to Catholicism while in Mexico since she is seen praying to "the Lord" during a gambling game and even makes the Catholic cross. Later, she places a Christian cross on a grave. She also thanks God when her chainsaw starts up after losing fuel.
- Kimono Fanservice: Apparently part of Nene's stage act.
- Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Rena briefly bemoans cheap horror movies featuring "some girl with a sword fighting monsters".
- Not-So-Harmless Villain: Maria, once she learns how to control the zombies. The girls never really regarded her all that much but she considered them to be Bullying a Dragon all this time.
- Not Using the Z Word: Averted. The term zombie is used quite liberaly.
- Off with His Head: As expected for a zombie movie.
- Our Zombies Are Different: Type V. They also use weapons, which is rare for zombie flicks.
- Perky Goth: Maria
- Pocket Protector: When Genko slowly turns into a zombie, Maria orders her to shoot and kill Rena. Rena tells her to aim for her heart. Thankfully, Rena is The Alcoholic and has a metal flask of red sake' in her jacket's breast pocket.
- Really Gets Around: Rena but only when she's drunk.
- Retirony: A non-cop example, oddly enough. Nene was not far from retirement when she was turned into a zombie.
- Stripperific: Well... they are strippers.
- Token Minority: Dana is said to be from South East Asia. More than likely, Thailand.
- Tome of Eldritch Lore: The Book of the Dead that unleashes the zombies.
- Vagina Dentata: When Nene is turned into a zombie, she shoots flames from her nether regions.
- Yakuza: Their most frequent clients in the bath house.
- Waif Fu
- Zettai Ryouiki: Mostly worn by Maria, although Dana and at least one zombie gets in on the action.
