action
The action takes place in the near future. The United States is still ruled by George W. Bush , who is about to take his fourth term after winning elections. After his renewed triumph, the US president has an amendment to the constitution passed that bans nudity in public. In addition, Bush dissolves Congress . US troops are still deployed in various trouble spots around the world, including Canada and independent Alaska . A "troop crisis" threatens. The US company W-Industries is therefore offering a solution together with the US military. In a secret laboratory in Sartre in the US state of Nebraska , a toxic, easily transmitted chemo-virus is being developed that is supposed to reanimate dead tissue. The aim of the experiments is to create a super elite soldier who will continue to fight fearlessly and uninhibited after his death.
An incident occurs at the facility, and the scientist in charge asks the military to help eliminate the subjects - they mutated into zombies , brainless monsters with an insatiable appetite for human flesh . The living dead are unceremoniously liquidated by the marines summoned. During a mission, a soldier, Byrdflough, is bitten by an undead . His immediate transformation is imminent, but out of fear of his trigger-happy comrades, the infected fled to an illegal and exclusive strip club called Rhino . Here the deceased meets the racy stripper Kat, the “best dancer” of the men's club, as a revenant .
Byrdflough bites the undressing artist in the neck in front of the eccentric club owner Essko. He fears the loss of his audience star, who is equally hated and envied by colleagues. Since the virus reacts differently to the female chromosome set, the deceased, now equipped with superhuman powers, does not become a mindless being, but a super stripper - that zombie stripper. This dances dead and covered in blood for the favor of the drooling spectators and becomes the show attraction of the club, a kind of sex bomb. The efficient Essko senses a big business, even if the undead Kat mutilates and infects a viewer after each performance. With the help of club staff and an aging diva, Essko holds Kat's zombified legacy trapped in the building's basement.
The resounding success of the zombie stripper, however, is not without consequences. Kat's colleagues are no longer in demand, so that more and more strippers, driven by envy and resentment, decide to transform themselves into the living dead. Soon business is booming and more and more strippers and guests fall victim to the general thirst for blood; Meanwhile, in the basement there are crowds of male, mindless zombies. The situation escalates. The captured creatures break free and march into the busy nightclub, where they attack the paying guests. At the same time, Kat and her rival Jeannie, who is also infected, dance duels on the show stage. In the midst of this absurd situation, the armed reaction force storms the shabby scene. All zombies are eliminated, the infected Essko is captured.
At the end of the film, the scientist responsible informs the astonished Marines about the real goals of the Bush administration, namely to cover up the catastrophic economic crisis with the staged zombie plague.
Reviews
The film magazine Blickpunkt: Film wrote that the production was a good-humored "Splattertrash sex joke with Freddy Krueger as the cock in the basket."
The film magazine VideoWoche wrote that the film was a “nice excuse”, in which appetizingly decorated silicone bunnies were depicted rhythmically undressing, although the “low-budget horror sex film and zombie film wave rider” came up with rich, “very professional splatter effects”.
