LA cops Roger (Treat Williams) and Doug (Joe Piscopo) investigate a series of brutal robberies by men who are very hard to kill. Coroner Rebecca (Clare Kirkconnell) discovers that the men are zombies, bought back to life somehow using chemicals and something else. Roger and Doug track down these chemicals to a shady bio-tech company where they discover bizarre human experiments taking place, including bringing the dead back to life. After Roger is killed by the company's henchmen, Rebecca and Doug bring Roger back to life as a zombie cop!
Roger unfortunately only has a few hours before his body breaks down. With the help of the company's former PR head Randi (Lindsay Frost) they discover a shadowy plot to give the rich immortality, after a fee of course. Quite how is Loudermilk (Vincent Price) involved?
A terrific action romp of a film, part buddy cop, part zombie horror. At times it gets very gory indeed, and also pretty violent. A highly entertaining film which maybe shouldn't be but the makers and cast managed to pull off a bit of magic here.
Look out for a number of interesting appearances as well as Price in one of his last few films, including Robert Picardo (Star Trek Voyager's EMH) and Keye Luke who was of course Charlie Chan's Number 1 son!
