Check yo self Friends and Neighbors. Today's movie review is Straight Outta Compton. Perhaps one of the saddest zombie movies I have ever been subjected to, "Mutant Zombie Vampires from the Hood" stars C. Thomas Howell as a police officer who is out to catch the hoodlums dealing drugs in the inner city. He and his partner, we will call him Murtaugh, get in a shoot out as the leader of the asian gang (we will call them Dragons) and the leader of the black gang (the bloods) are in a dispute over a hostage / drug deal/ Along comes a solar flare - oh my! This proceeds to knock everyone unconscious.
They awaken to find that the world has changed. After some time the bloods leader meets up with his friend who has been killed by zombies. Luckily he is saved by the old mexican man, Julio. You can't make this up folks. So after showing the bloods leader how the zombies are terrible and monsters, in a scene that is absolutely hilarious wherein our heros watch - via binoculars from a nearby building - as zombies rip the arm off of a helpless woman and proceed to eat it. Oh, but before they eat the arm they also of course rip her clothes off so she goes running topless at the camera and presumed armless safety... This girl is actually credited as "Gratuitous Nudity Zombie." At least they don't take themselves seriously.
So the obligatory team up for survival happens, cop and gangster and gangster set out to find safety. Along the way they encounter a woman and her father who have the answers, maybe. They find it hard to get to safety when all of the zombies are not only semi-aware but also quite randy. Yep, apparently the zombies that come from a solar flare become rapists. Geez. Still the final solution remains elusive and you can predict the rest.
I give this one 4/10 on because of C. Thomas Howell and the cajones to use rapist zombies.
As always,
Be excellent to each other.
