Zombie Strippers
Zombie Strippers! is a 2008 movie written and directed by Jay Lee, reportedly inspired by a suggestion as to the most marketable film title possible. It centres on the "accidental" infection of a strip joint by a virus designed to offset the American Army's disastrously high body count in several world conflicts.
Tropes used in Zombie Strippers include:
- Action Girl - The female members of the zombie-killing squad are trained and capable in both weapons and hand-to-hand combat. Naturally, they are also as good looking as the strippers.
- Affectionate Parody - the entire film is a humourous homage to 50's B-movies, zombie B-movies and thinly veiled political satire B-movies
- Artistic License Military - Do NOT watch the first ten minutes with a trained soldier.
- Bandito - an entire character is introduced to do little more than to play with this trope, and pretty much every other Mexican stereotype.
