A lesbian, biker girls, zombies, dwarfs, blind kids, a mad scientist and some small town hicks make up the cast of Chopper Chicks In Zombie Town. It’s a recipe for offense and disgust from everyone’s favourite b-movie studio: Troma. It even has that delicious b-movie treat, a small role for someone who would later become an a-list celeb. In this instance it’s Jolie-shagging archetypal redneck Billy Bob Thornton who makes an appearance.
The chopper chicks in question are an all-female biker gang named ‘Cycle Sluts’. It’s not the most subtle of monikers for their ragtag group but it’s reasonably accurate insofar as they ride motorcycles and revel in their promiscuity. Led by a bitch-from-hell lesbian stereotype they apparently travel the highways of the USA looking for trouble, sex, booze or ideally a combination of all three. The story opens with their arrival in a town so small and fictional I can’t actually recall the name. Sufficed to say they soon encounter the promised zombies that were created by a mad scientist to mine for uranium under the town. After getting past the requisite “we don’t take kindly to your kind of people round here” routine, we get some zombie killing and a trite reconciliation with the town that initially spurned the Cycle Sluts.
