Zombi 3, the continuation of Lucio Fulci's work in zombie cinema. Yeah, right! Fulci walked out during filming because he was dissatisfied with the way it was turning out.

So many different things are ripped off from so many great, classic zombie movies, there are way too many to list here. Basically it's every Romero flick ripped off and wrapped up into a single crappy package.

A formula that re-animates the dead called "Death 1" is stolen during a transfer from the lab who created it to the military. The military gives chase, and eventually the box containing the formula is broken open and spilled over the hapless victim. The victim turns into a zombie, he spreads the virus to a few hotel employees. The original victim is captured, killed and cremated, his ashes fly up into the atmosphere, infecting a bunch of birdies, who in turn fly down and peck away at people turning them into zombies.

There was some pretty decent gore here. Not the kind of gore you'd expect from a Fulci film, but this really isn't a Fulci film now is it?

We get the aforementioned zombie bird attacks, more than a few hypersonic zombies (they're fast) a flying zombie head (no wings mind you, it just flys across the room) and a zombie who speaks fluently enough to be a radio disk jockey.

Some of the things that really bugged me are zombies who were able to grapple and overpower humans with no problem, there were no special "rules" to kill the zombies (i.e. no headshots) you could stab them bludgeon them shoot them in the chest, it didn't matter.

There was some classic overacting from Dr. Holder (Bill Shatner would blush) and absolutely no nudity.

I can't really recommend this movie unless you are a die hard zombie movie fanatic. Not a fan mind you, a FANATIC.
