Chopper Chicks in Zombietown (1991)(a.k.a Cycle Sluts) Written and Dircted by Dan Hoskins
When an all-girl motorcycle gang called the Cycle Sluts arrive at the small, desert town of Zariah they are looking for a little R&R and some 'meat' and I don't think that last one has anything to do with a tray of mince and half a pound of sausage. Well. not the mince anyway. Unfortunately for the 'meat' seeking girls what they find instead is a whole load of trouble. A zombie menace is heading for town and things are not looking good in Zariah because the zombies want some meat too. The zombies have been busy working at the local mine and they all used to be living, breathing members of the local community until the local undertaker, Ralph Willum, stepped in and recruited them for his zombie workforce. And of course, seeing all of that fresh meat arriving by chopper Willum sees a chance to swell the ranks of his undead workforce and so sends out his pint-sized henchman, Bob Littleton, to kill the sluts and bring their bodies to him for reanimation.
The leader of the Sluts is a tough-talking lady called Rox who is perhaps not the best loved of leaders and she knows it, but her way is the only way she knows and the girls are just going to have to like that or lump it, but her dyke-heart is in the right place and she does care about her girls even is she doesn't always know how to show it. The
Slut who tends to lock her red-headed horns with Rox the most is Dede
and she is less than keen on a stop in Zariah and would prefer to have
ridden straight through the town. Dede has her reasons for this though,
not least of which is the fact that she used to live in the town and
was even Homecoming Queen, a fact that the locals remind her
off any chance that they get, "Hey, weren't you homecoming queen?" Of
course her fellow Sluts knew nothing about any of this and Rox takes an
especially dim view of the whole thing, especially when Dede's husband
shows up looking for her, "Choose babe," Rox tells her, dangling the
keys to Dede's bike between her fingertips. Rox
kicks Dede's bike over and rides out of town without her. The rest of
the gang are less than impressed with this sudden turn of events and
are also wondering what has happened to Lucille who went off in search
of some 'meat' and never returned. With a total disregard for Rox's
feeling on the matter, some of the girls decide to head back into town
and look for their friends, even if it does mean fighting a few zombies. As it turns out it is a good job that the Sluts are back in town because the local townsfolk are somewhat reluctant to kill the zombies because they are (were) their friends and family. The Sluts have no such reservations, however. Dede's weapon of choice is a baseball bat and boy can that girl swing. Zombie are losing their heads over her left, right and centre, while her fellow slut, Rusty, uses a blowtorch to blow the wax out of some zombie ears. T.C, meanwhile, is packing a staple gun and if nothing else you have got to admire her for her optimism. Rusty, however is not so optimistic and swaps her blowtorch for a chainsaw, but the zombies keep on coming and just to make it interesting there is a bus full of blind orphans for the Sluts to protect as well.

Chicks in Zombietown
is a lot of fun and is a very entertaining film that doesn't
require you to think too much. There is plenty of humour,
plenty of chicks and an abundance of zombies. I can't
remember ever watching a comedy horror that I enjoyed more and I even
liked the music, although, Rox's rendition of Do
What Your Big Mamma Tells You did
leave me feeling a little mystified (what's THAT all about?). And after
watching her sliding up and down the jukebox while she sang it, the
locals looked more than a little mystified as well, but it's all good
fun.
