11	----
12	!!Tropes found in this film include:
13
14	* AdaptationExpansion: The movie greatly differs from the manga it's based on. The original manga was more contained, taking place solely at the strip club, where the action started as early as Chapter 1. The movie also gives the characters more backstory and personality. The cause of the zombies was kept ambiguous in the original story, while the movie has the cause being Maria reading the Book of the Dead.
15	* AdaptationalVillainy: PlayedWith. [[spoiler:Maria]] in the original manga was an abusive {{Jerkass}} HateSink who was [[DirtyCoward cowardly]] and didn't mind tricking zombies into killing co-workers. The movie keeps the cowardly arrogance, but now has [[spoiler:her accidentally create the zombies, use them to successfully kill most of her co-workers, and even dreams of destroying the world and recreating it in her own image]].
16	* AntiHero: None of the girls are very heroic. They lie, cheat, steal, and at one point, they run over an old man with a minivan just in case he ''might've'' been a zombie.
17	* AnArmAndALeg: Limbs fly off with regularity.
18	* AxCrazy: It turns out that [[spoiler:Maria]] is crazier than the girls originally thought.
19	* BadBoss: The pimp whores out strippers, and tries to stiff dead people on their pay.
20	* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Averted. As expected, some girls get turned into zombies and the results are [[BodyHorror not pretty]].
21	* TheBet: The girls gamble with the {{yakuza}} and each other. One bet involves Rena and Ginko sumo wrestling each other. When Ginko loses, she has to perform BodySushi.
22	* BigBad: [[spoiler:Maria starts out as merely the accidental summoner of the zombies, but eventually becomes their leader, and decides to use them to kill her co-workers and rebuild the world.]]
23	* BittersweetEnding: As expected from this genre, most of the characters are dead, but at least the ZombieApocalypse has been averted. [[spoiler:And it seems that Rena can use the Necronomicon to summon her friends anytime she likes by the end.]]
24	* BlackHumor: All the darkness of a zombie movie, but with a comedic edge.
25	* BloodyHilarious: It is a bloody movie, but most of the gore is PlayedForLaughs.
26	* BodyInABreadbox: [[spoiler:Darna]] finds a zombie head at the bottom of the chest full of cash.
27	* BodySushi: Which is not played for RuleOfSexy but rather uncomfortable for the woman in question, especially once they start pouring sake down "there".
28	* BoomHeadShot: Genko only has about three bullets, but uses them wisely.
29	* CameraAbuse: Blood splatters on the camera after a character gets shot.
30	* CarFu: The girls run over a (possible) zombie with a van.
31	* CatFight: There's a few in this fight, the first two are over minor squabbles and mostly for fun, the last two are leading up to death or life circumstances.
32	* ChainsawGood: This movie loves this trope. One of the first zombie-kills, only a few moments in the film, is via chainsaw. When Rena finds said chainsaw, she is overjoyed. It even sparkles.
33	* CheatersNeverProsper: Rena tries to cheat at a gambling game with loaded dice and Genko catches her.
34	* ClothingDamage: Two counts, both featuring Rena and Ginko:
35	** After an argument involving the loaded dice mentioned above, the two girls start to fight and end up tearing their tops off.
36	** Later, a zombie attacks the two girls and ends up ripping their tops off in much the same manner.
37	* CombatPragmatist: Rena throws the aforementioned Cool Hat and [[RuleOfFunny somehow knocks a zombie on his ass.]]
38	%%* DarkActionGirl: Genko
39	* DeadlineNews: A reporter gives an account of the outbreak while zombies approach from the background. She's eaten a few moments later.
40	* DevouredByTheHorde: A sauna-owner is literally turned into a buffet for zombies as she is laid out on a table with her insides draped over her like BodySushi. The zombies all sit around and eat her with chopsticks.
41	* DirtyCoward: When the zombies attack, [[spoiler:Maria]] takes off and leaves the others to fend for themselves.
42	* DraggedOffToHell: [[spoiler:Maria]], by the Blue Ogre, [[LaserGuidedKarma after attempting to]] cast Rena down the Well of Souls.
43	* EroticEating: Maria--who is a stripper--has an extremely sensual way of consuming lollipops.
44	* EverybodyWasKungFuFighting: Even though none of the girls express knowledge in martial arts, they can perform all sorts of high kicks when the zombies come. Also, becoming a zombie can apparently give you martial arts skills.
45	* EyeScream: Ginko stabs her sister's killer through the eye (and presumably the skull) with the business end of an umbrella.
46	* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Maria, once she realizes the dead obey her, decides to kill her co-workers with them.]]
47	* FanService: The main characters are strippers, and the actresses portraying them are [[UsefulNotes/{{Pornography}} pornstars]].
48	* FieryRedHead: Maria, although she obviously dyes her hair.
49	* FortuneTeller: Nene practices with tarot cards on the side. Her predictions are pretty accurate, too.
50	* GagDub: The English dub available on Website/YouTube takes a few liberties with its translation, many of which might as well have been done by Rifftrax, though they don't really change the plot.
51	** For example, the English dub has Rena questioning why hobos in every country always [[CrossesTheLineTwice seem to be Mexican..."Wait, is that racist?"]]
52	** Maria's dead-raising incantation is the lyrics of "Zombie" by Music/TheCranberries.
53	** Rena said to be illiterate, and is informed by Ginko [[BreakingTheFourthWall that her contract obligates her to show her tits at least twice before the movie is over]].
54	** The strip club owner [[BreakingTheFourthWall laments being in such a shitty movie]].
55	* GenreSavvy: Maria points out that the creatures are zombies and explains how they work based on ''Film/NightOfTheLivingDead1968'' and other zombie movies.
56	* GilliganCut: Rena tells the midget {{yakuza}} boss that there is no way she will sleep with him because he is a disgusting little creep. The next scene has her waking up in bed next to the boss.
57	* GoryDeadlyOverkillTitleOfFatalDeath
58	* GratuitousEnglish: The boss briefly greats the girls in English when they arrive at his office.
59	* GratuitousSpanish: Rena answers her cell in Spanish ("hola") for no particular reason. It's shortly after she explains she has been to Mexico.
60	** At the same time, if Rena learned Spanish while in '''Mexico''', she would not say "hola" when she answered the phone but would be more likely to say "bueno".
61	* GraveMarkingScene: Rena and Ginko share a moment over [[spoiler:Nene]]'s grave, where Rena places plastic flowers on the grave as that was all she could find. Rena and Ginko then head back to the theatre to open a can of whoop-ass on the zombies.
62	* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Ginko uses her [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana]] to cut a zombie in half length-ways.
63	* HelpingHands: When [[spoiler:Drana]] is transformed into a zombie, her hand is severed from her body. The hand then continues to try to pick up the money she had been attempting to gather.
64	* HighPressureBlood: Anytime someone gets stabbed, expect a fountain.
65	* ImAHumanitarian: The undead yakuza devour the bath house owner as a CallBack to the previous BodySushi scene. This time, however, the woman '''is''' the meal.
66	* IncongruouslyDressedZombie: Zombies starts showing up in all kings of incongruous outfits, such as stripper costumes and school uniforms.
67	* InfiniteSupplies: Averted when Rena runs out of gas for her chainsaw. Genko also runs out of bullets for her gun almost immediately, resulting in a OneBulletLeft moment towards the end.
68	* InMediasRes: The story begins with Ginko suffering from a zombie attack, [[BigDamnHero gets saved by Rena]], goes into a fight scene, then Rena has a FlashBack to the previous events to show HowWeGotHere.
69	* InterplayOfSexAndViolence: At one point, after a zombie has [[FanService removed Rena and Ginko's tops]], it gets cut open. Blood then sprays across their breasts.
70	* ItCantBeHelped: Spoken by Maria.
71	* UsefulNotes/JapaneseChristian: It's implied that Rena converted to Catholicism while in Mexico since she is seen praying to "the Lord" during a gambling game and even makes the Catholic cross. Later, she places a Christian cross on a grave. She also thanks God when her chainsaw starts up after losing fuel.
72	* KatanasAreJustBetter: Ginko grabs a katana from the yakuza bathhouse and uses it as her primary weapon for fighting zombies. It can parry almost anything, and can cut zombies in half lengthways.
73	* KimonoFanservice: Apparently part of Nene's stage act.
74	* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Rena briefly bemoans cheap horror movies featuring [[SelfDeprecation "some girl with a sword fighting monsters"]].
75	** An extra one from the English dub: Dana calls home, speaking [[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign "Thai,"]] while Ginko scolds, "This is Japan, dammit! Learn to speak dubbed English!"
76	* MisterBig: The leader of the yakuza is a little person. As in "midget" little.
77	* NotSoHarmlessVillain: [[spoiler:Maria]] was treated as a minor nuisance, and the girls never really paid attention. Unfortunately for them, the nuisance considered them to be BullyingADragon all this time. [[spoiler:Once she learns to control the zombies, she proceeds to use the zombies as her personal minions and sics them on the girls.]]
78	* OffWithHisHead: As expected for a zombie movie.
79	* OhCrap: When the chainsaw runs out of gas for the first time.
80	* OnlySixFaces: All of the zombies get reused from scene to scene, not even changing outfits.
81	* OurZombiesAreDifferent: They use weapons, which is rare for zombie flicks.
82	* OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank: Genko stabbing her sister's killer in the gut might have been a dramatic scene, but he sprays an absurdly sustained gout of blood over Genko and Rena's bare breasts.
83	* OverlyLongTongue: After becoming a zombie, [[spoiler:Darna]] sprouts an overly long tongue which she uses to attack Rena.
84	* ParasolOfPain: Ginko is shown (in flashback) killing the man who murdered her sister by jamming an umbrella through his eye.
85	* PerkyGoth: Maria.
86	* PocketProtector: [[spoiler: When Genko slowly turns into a zombie, Maria orders her to shoot and kill Rena. Rena tells her to aim for her heart. Thankfully, Rena is TheAlcoholic and has a metal flask of red sake' in her jacket's breast pocket.]]
87	* PredatoryProstitute: [[spoiler:Maria, one of the five strippers who the movie revolves around, is the one who unleashed the ZombieApocalypse in the first place. While she did so by accident, she then proceeds to screw over her co-workers [[DirtyCoward just to save herself]], and upon learning that she can control the zombies, decides to TakeOverTheWorld with her new zombie army.]]
88	* RaisingTheSteaks: When the dead are summoned to rise, the sushi the girls were preparing comes alive and attacks them.
89	* ReallyGetsAround: Rena but only when she's [[HardDrinkingPartyGirl drunk]].
90	* RedRightHand: When one character is bitten on the hand, it later turns into a grotesque green claw.
91	* {{Retirony}}: A non-cop example, oddly enough. [[spoiler: Nene]] was not far from retirement when she was turned into a zombie.
92	* ShoutOut: Aside from the Romero zombie films being mentioned above, the Blue Oni mentions that [[Film/DawnOfTheDead1978 "there is little room in Hell"]] when apologizing for the zombies.
93	* TheSociopath: [[spoiler:Maria decided to start a ZombieApocalypse because she felt bullied by her coworkers.]]
94	* {{Stripperific}}: The main girls. Well, they ''[[JustifiedTrope are]]'' strippers.
95	* TokenMinority: Dana is said to be from South East Asia. More than likely, Thailand.
96	* TomeOfEldritchLore: The ''Book of the Dead'' that unleashes the zombies.
97	* VaginaDentata: When [[spoiler: Nene]] is turned into a zombie, she shoots flames from her nether regions.
98	* VillainousRescue: A Blue Oni [[spoiler:pops out to drag Maria to Hell just as Rena is about to be pushed in]]. Granted, he doesn't seem as evil as most depictions of that sort of character. In fact, he apologizes for the mess and says, "You know how it is. Prisons are full everywhere."
99	* WaifFu: The girls are pretty agile in a fight, likely from their dancing experience.
100	* WickedCultured: [[spoiler: Maria]] and the Blue Oni.
101	* {{Yakuza}}: Their most frequent clients in the bath house.
102	* ZombieInfectee: The movie starts with Ginko suffering from a zombie bite. She later apologizes to Ginko for not telling her sooner.
