7	Arbie and Wendy just finished high school. They celebrate it by having sex on a [[IndianBurialGround burial ground]] of a local Tromahawk tribe, and during the act they promise that while Wendy is leaving town to study, they will stay true to each other. A year later, Arbie meets Wendy again, on a protest of the American Chicken Bunker fast-food net's intrusions against rich cultural history of the area and their slaughter of millions of innocent chickens. But alas for Arbie -- in the meantime, she became a "left-wing {{lipstick lesbian}} liberal." In disgust over it, and to spite his ex-girlfriend, Arbie gets a job at the American Chicken Bunker. One problem: it's built on that Indian burial ground, as Arbie finds out... in song.

9	It's a Creator/{{Troma}} BMovie, and it says all.
10	----
11	!!This movie contains examples of:
12
13	* AddedAlliterativeAppeal:
14	-->'''Arbie:''' My girlfriend has become a left-wing lipstick lesbian liberal!
15	* AlienBlood: The chicken zombies have green blood.
16	* BestialityIsDepraved: Carl Jr. loves him some bestiality, and doesn't mind doing it to animal [[ILoveTheDead carcasses]] as well.
17	* BigDamnHeroes:
18	** Humus attempts this with meat steroids, which ends badly. [[spoiler: However, she ends up defeating all of the chicken zombies with a suicide bomb.]]
19	** [[spoiler: Not to mention Paco saving the heroes from the Chief Zombie Chicken after having been eaten by it.]]
20	* BodyHorror: People turning into chicken zombies are only one example.
21	* BreakingTheFourthWall: When it's discovered the Indian chicken zombies are vulnerable to alcohol, Arbie turns straight to the camera and gives a speech acknowledging the misery the introduction of alcohol brought to Native American communities.
22	%%* BurgerFool: American Chicken Bunker.
23	* TheDitz: Arbie, Arbie, ''Arbie''. While wide-eyed and innocent, he is one of the dumbest main characters in any Troma movie
24	* DoubleEntendre: You can guess what kind of jokes the Troma guys couldn't refuse themselves when a chicken zombie was grabbed by throat...
25	* EyeScream: Several customers get their eyes gouged out, which are then placed on an egg carton.
26	* FanService: Plenty of it, and perhaps even more of...
27	* FanDisservice: Mikki, Wendy's "girlfriend" [[FloweryInsults looks like a turkey a week after Thanksgiving, before you boil it for soup]]. This is a Creator/LloydKaufman movie. Needless to say, we will see her topless, whether we want to or not.
28	* FatSweatySouthernerInAWhiteSuit: General Lee, the head ACB guy.
29	* {{Gorn}}: All over the place.
30	* {{Fingore}}: When General Lee Roy starts turning into an egg, his fingernails start peeling off and he pulls one off.
31	* GroinAttack: Carl Jr. decides to... [[BestialityIsDepraved get familiar]] with a chicken carcass in the basement and is unfortunate enough to have it reanimate and attack while in a very good position to exact vengeance.
32	* HeadCrushing: [[spoiler: ACB mascot/chicken zombie/future!Arbie kills a priest by stomping on his head.]]
33	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Humus performs one in the end, using an explosive belt (that she apparently kept hidden under her niqab all the time) to blow up the restaurant and destroy the remaining zombies.]]
34	* HulkingOut: Humus tries to perform a BigdamnHeroes through this by guzzling up a tank of meat steroids. [[BodyHorror It doesn't end well for her]].[[spoiler: She gets better for the ending though, for unexplained reasons.]]
35	* ImmigrantPatriotism: Humus, despite being a stereotypical caricature of an Islamic Middle Easterner, is a proud American patriot who [[spoiler:commits a HeroicSacrifice in the name of democracy.]]
36	* IndianBurialGround: The American Chicken Bunker was built ontop of a Tromahawk burial ground and the bodies were apathetically thrown into the nearest dumpster. Quite displeased at this, the angered souls of the dead native Americans are teaming up with the souls of dead chickens to get their revenge. This information is given by Paco Bell [[ItMakesSenseInContext after he is resurrected as a sloppy joe sandwich]] as well as the restaurant's first customer who so happens to be Ron Jeremy.
37	-->'''Ron Jeremy:''' "You ''fools!'' This restaurant is built on ancient Tromahawk Tribe sacred Indian Burial Ground! Get out while you still can! Get out! Save yourselves! Save yourselves... Uh, I'll have the Sloppy Jose Value Meal."
38	* MeaningfulName: All the main characters are named after fast-food chains.
39	* TheMusical: That's right. It's a musical.
40	* NiceGuy: Humus, despite being a somewhat offensive stereotype of a Muslim woman, is by all accounts the only truly decent person in the film, almost never swearing and [[spoiler:sacrificing herself to save the others twice.]]
41	* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: When the movie really gets going, we get Native American chicken zombies.
42	* NoButYes: This exchange after a thawed chicken carcass screams in pain after being put in a deep fryer.
43	--->'''Arbie''': Hey Denny, is it normal for thawed chicken carasses that have dead and frozen for weeks to scream out in excrutiating pain like that?
44	--->'''Denny"': No Arbie, that wasn't a scream, that was just an air pocket... bursting and, um... begging for help.
45	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: American Chicken Bunker and its KFC Colonel-{{expy}}, along with a Jared Fogle expy.
46	* ObviousStuntDouble: Parodied when Humus removes her burka to reveal a much taller, white, blonde actress whose lines are as [[HongKongDub obviously]] [[GagDub dubbed]] as an anime.
47	* OurZombiesAreDifferent: Two words: Chicken zombies.
48	* {{Portmantitle}}: Poultrygeist... poultry and poltergeist. See, it's poultry-themed version of ''Film/{{Poltergeist\|1982}}''!
49	* PublicDomainSoundtrack: General Lee Roy fights off a zombie chicken in the bathroom while ''In The Hall of The Mountain King'' is playing in the background.
50	* RaisingTheSteaks: Chicken zombies aren't too happy about being eaten.
51	* RefugeInAudacity: Basically, '''THE ENTIRE MOVIE''', which makes sense given the creator.
52	* SexSignalsDeath: Paco jerks off into the meat grinder in one scene, right before [[KarmicDeath a zombie chicken pushes him in it]].
53	* ShoutOut:
54	** Almost every character is named after a restaurant chain or fast food franchise;
55	*** Arbie - Arby's
56	*** Wendy - Wendy's
57	*** Paco Bell - Taco Bell
58	*** Carl Jr. - Carl's Jr
59	*** Denny - Denny's
60	*** Mikky - McDonalds
61	** One of the drinks available at American Chicken Bunker is called [[Film/AClockworkOrange "cluckwork orange".]]
62	* SuddenDownerEnding: PlayedForLaughs. [[spoiler:The child lays an egg at the end, causing everyone to panic and car losing control as a result, killing everyone inside.]]
63	* TerroristsWithoutACause: A Muslim ACB employee sends the others running for cover -- in fear of her being one of these -- whenever she says things like "I'm gonna explode!", to her understandable dismay. [[spoiler:Then it turns out she had a bomb belt under her niqab the entire time. Subverted however since she uses it to [[HeroicSacrifice destroy the haunted restaurant]] (for democracy).]]
64	* ToiletHumor: '''Tons of it.''' One scene is just of a fat guy taking a very noisy dump and after an [[OrificeInvasion]] from the bowl, he falls off the toilet and ends up painting the walls brown.
65	* TwoferTokenMinority: Paco is both Hispanic and gay.
66	* UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler:Humus suddenly returning perfectly intact after literally exploding is explained by her quickly saying there's NoTimeToExplain.]]
67	* VoiceGrunting: Due to her lower face being covered by her burka, a majority of Humus' non-verbal reactions are communicated by her loudly grunting like a cartoon character (along with a large amount of {{Eye Take}}s).
68	* WeaksauceWeakness: The chicken zombies are vulnerable to alcohol, since they're actually the Native American chicken zombies.
69	* WeightLossHorror: Mixed with CursedWithAwesome, as Jared finds himself ecstatic over a thin version of himself ripping out of his morbidly obese body (though he does lack skin).
70	* WorkplaceHorror: A fast food restaurant built over an Indian burial ground, which results in zombified chickens.
