One Hollywood stunt rarely attempted in shot-on-video movies is the car chase, yet “Zombie Cop” spends a big chunk of its short running time attempting just such a feat, with mixed results. Voodoo rituals, fight scenes, questionable police procedure, and ample gunplay with actors using real weapons firing blanks also contribute to making this one of the most gonzo horror/action hybrids ever made.
After a cop named Gill and Haitian voodoo master Doctor Death kill each other during a routine drug bust, the duo rise from the grave to continue their game of cat-and-mouse as members of the undead. Gill enlists the help of human partner Stevens in tracking down Death and putting a stop to his nefarious plans for world domination!
Painstakingly restored from original Super-VHS-C camera masters with a dynamic new 5.1 surround remix, “Zombie Cop” is more arresting than ever on Blu-ray together with never-before-seen bonus materials from the Tempe vaults, three audio commentaries, and original 1991 home video presentation captured from the archival edit master.
