From the liner notes

Japanese horror-comedy at its most outlandish, this hilarious parody of zombie movies features Tadanobu Asano (with an afro!) battling a very funny invasion of the undead. Destined to be a Danger After Dark favorite.

Review

If you’re searching for serious-minded, scary horror cinema, Tokyo Zombie is definitely not for you. The feature directing debut of Sakichi Sato, a writer (he penned the Miike films Ichi the Killer and Gozu) and actor (he was the “Charlie Brown” waiter in Kill Bill Vol. 1), Tokyo Zombie is simply a wild widescreen funhouse ride of slapstick humor, genre parody, gore gags, and general horror-comedy anarchy. It’s pretty irresistible. Japanese genre film favorites Tadanobu Asano (Survive Style 5+) and Sho Aikawa (The Dead or Alive Trilogy) – both saddled with haircuts that will provoke giggling anyway – star as two blue-collar laborers with dreams of being jujitsu champions, a shared goal sidelined by the sudden invasion of a zombie army storming Tokyo, descending from “Mt. Dark Fuji.” The duo are separated by fate (but can one become a zombie if you’re bitten by someone with false teeth?), but reunited years later. Just when you think the film can’t get any
