What would happen in a shootout between two zombies with machine guns? Would they just keep shooting each other endlessly without accomplishing anything? We're lucky we have movies like Dead Heat to answer these tough questions for us. Also, if you've ever wondered what Vincent Price would sound like if he channeled an undead Mr. Burns from The Simpsons, cackling about how he'll live forever and avoid passing on his riches, this clip from Dead Heat has you covered. Sadly, a lot of the rest of this zombie buddy cop comedy, with Treat Williams and (Aieee!) Joe Piscopo as the zombie officers, is on the dull side. But we've got the best few minutes of zombie-shooting action for you.

I...I don't know if I should be angry, or astounded! The dueling zombie uzi battle was pretty sweet, but the one liners make me groan. I bet in the long run the movie wasn't as amazing as those glorious moments. But thanks for bringing it to my attention.
It was awfully nice of that security guard to roll off the desk for that zombie who wanted his belt.
Oh and if they can ride motorcycles, reason, speak, use tools, and problem solve, are they still zombies? Or just fugly immortals.
@Garrison Dean: Who knows, I mean couldn't ask the same things to movies like Resident Evil? I think Zombie is a shaky term used for undead that don't fall into a more specific categories...Like Vampires, and David Duchovny
1988 was the year all movies had Heat. Dead Heat, Red Heat, Outer Heat (renamed Alien Nation), and I seem to recall there was a Future Heat in there somewhere, too.
I find this movie quite amusing.
Still wish I could find the uncut version of it, because there are very obvious trims in the violence and the zombification that occurs.
Possibly the best (and worst) line in this movie is Joe Piscopo saying to his undead friend Treat Williams: "Roger, you were underwater in that hot tub for five whole minutes! (pause) Can you teach my girlfriend to do that?"
@Plague: Not only that, but one needs all the Piscopo one can get.
I don't know much about Dead Heat, but I'm going to see Diary of the Dead in a few minutes. I haven't read any reviews and know virtually nothing about it, other than it probably has a lot of zombies. Wish me luck.
Ya know...I really liked Dead Heat when it came out. It wasn't good, but it was fun. Treat Williams made that flick.
zombie can damme AND vincent price?!
