A trio of bozos from “the Burbank karate club” meet some bikini-wearing kickboxers and take a boat to Warriors Island, unaware it’s home to machete-wielding zombies, mad monks and a slave trader with a Hitler moustache. When the boat is attacked by Village People-ish pirates (there’s a construction worker, an Indian, plus a biker in a Nazi helmet) our heroes manage to save the day before reaching their destination.

Once ashore, they’re attacked by Hitler who, despite being armed with a bazooka and surrounded by henchmen, simply panics and runs away. Appealing to the island’s monks for help, our heroes are told that they’ll only be granted assistance if they can demonstrate “superior fighting skills” against a zombie army.

Making his directing debut, the brilliantly named Edward D Murphy doesn’t exactly keep a firm hand on the tiller, randomly throwing in comedy, thriller and sexploitation elements, but it’s certainly not your typical kung-fu zombie movie.
