He must have been way ahead of his time to guess the high legs and electric blue. (I shudder to remember myself dress in a very similar and embarrassing way) All I can say is go zombies. girls dressed like that should think twice...

Thanks for sharing that info here since Nightmare City is regularly discussed as a zombie movie and featured in many books I own as a zombie flick. But it's interesting to know what Lenzi thinks. I guess the creatures in the movie are "humans contaminated with radiation" who also just happen to die and return to life and then enjoy eating human flesh? ;) That’s funny Michael!

I watched this movie last night for the first time and really enjoyed it. Great "dancing" clip! In an interview on the R1 NTSC Anchor Bay disc - I believe it's also on the the new Blue Underground version - Lenzi says that it's really not a Zombie film, that the deformed characters in the film are really humans contaminated with radiation. However, I still bet they're the influence for Danny Boyle's zombies in 28 DAYS LATER. HA!

Keith - I'm glad you're a fan of the film too. It's a lot of fun! Gautam - I'm happy you enjoyed the clip so much! I suspect that a lot of guys find the dancing rather "stimulating." ;) I hope you get the opportunity to see the entire movie soon. If you like zombie movies you'll probably love Nightmare City. Thanks for the comments guys!

I can't believe the level of Gore in this piece- did I just see a Zombie slice off a woman's breast??!! I'm almost feeling guilty because I enjoyed it very much :-) And the dancing- I personally thought it was rather stimulating.

I watched it again not long ago. It's some pure escapist fun. It can be quite cheesy at times. The bad makeup and bad acting just adds to the fun. This movie is a blast to watch.

I didn't think so, but it worked, really tied the movie together, like the dude's rug :-) PS, loved the hatchet into the skull, and of course the nipple hacking off, who doesn't like THAT :-) great clip, keep them coming I loved how the TV cameras were still following the action when presumably the cameramen had say “fck this, I’m off”

McCubed - You were warned above that this clip was "gory and not for the faint of heart." Personally, the cheap special effects sort of take away from the shock value for me. And last but not least, when you've seen as many zombie flicks as I have you'll discover that zombies come in all kinds of flavors besides slow and weaponless. Jonathan - These zombies are very industrious! They know that being on TV is the real way to get your message across. Kate - The dancers do seem like they're hearing different music at times! My only complaint is that I wish there were a few close-ups of the spandex-clad male dancers. We can barely see them in the background and then they're seen running around crazily.

This is one of the suyperb moments in trash cinema. I love the fact that the dancers are barely in time with one another, like each one is dancing to music only she can hear... Great stuff.

They're like chimpanzees that have learned basic tool technologies. Unlike those other zombies who primitively bite the breast off, they've figured out the more efficient method of carving it off with a knife. I'll take this over Thriller any day of the week.

A little to intense for my breakfast ritual! Does it really count as a zombie movie if the zombies use weapons? A little to intense for my breakfast ritual!

It's definitely one of the greatest zombie stories ever told. Whitney - Nightmare City predates Thriller. I think Michael Jackson may have borrowed some of his dance moves from this scene.

If my memory serves me right (I haven't seen this movie in years!) The on set choreographer giving directions to the girls and the "Disco Music" sign hanging in the studio are supposed to make you believe that it's some kind of dance instruction show. Sadly, in the late 70s and early 80s this is what a lot of "interpretive dancing" looked like. I’m not sure what they’re doing exactly but whatever it is, it’s bad!

I like the sentience of the zombies. They actually don't seem that hungry, just offended by the amateurish show. It's great how the entire scene is on TV as well; isn't that just what we see on the nightly news--some cute duck and her chicks crossing a road, followed by an explosion in Baghdad?
