Because of the extensive wars that America is waging (in the not-too-distant future), a military personnel shortage is starting to be noticed. So the government decides to develop a serum, that when injected will reanimate a soldier once they are killed and turn them into an unstoppable super soldier. Interestingly enough, the serum is passed into anyone the new super soldier bites, but the result becomes a less stable and more feral creature with a severe lack of higher functions, something that is also seen when any male is infected with the potion.
As you would expect from any self-respecting movie titled Zombie Strippers, not only does the infection sneak out of the testing facility, but it makes its way into an underground strip club called The Rhino, thus turning the female strippers into super strippers instead of super soldiers.
Jenna Jameson's character is the first to be infected. She is already the star of the show who is envied by some strippers and looked up to by others. Other strippers include the goth girl, the indecisive one, the one that follows Jameson's lead all the way and the new stripper who is a wholesome, Bible-belt girl trying to earn some money for her grandmother's operation.
When the undead Jameson starts raking in more money than ever before, and the normal girls start to get ignored, all hell breaks loose. Some girls turn zombie to try and compete, while others do it just to spite Jameson. Meanwhile, the club owner, a germaphobe played by Robert Englund (how can you not enjoy a horror movie featuring Freddy himself?!?), has to not only keep the growing population of zombie patrons (after all, the girls have needs too) at bay, but also keep the whole thing under wraps if he is going to keep the club going.
Like I said, Zombie Strippers doesn't really take itself seriously. The visual effects (particularly blood splatter) are beyond cheesy and the movie has a super zombie strip-off in it that involves everything from projectile golf balls to a tornado created by spinning on a pole. It also has a very overt, left-wing message that you get hit over the head with many times throughout the film. I don't mind movies with political statements, but I would prefer to not have it so obviously pounded into me over and over again. So, if you aren't easily offended and enjoy bad horror movies that are heavily sprinkled with tasteless comedy, then you might want to give Zombie Strippers a go. As for Blu-ray versus standard definition, there are only a couple of extra features in the newer format, so that may or may not sway you.
