The Plot.
It's the end of the century at a corner of the city in a building riddled with crime.
Everyone in the building has turned into zombies.
After Jenny's boyfriend is killed in a zombie attack, she faces the challenge of surviving in the face of adversity.
In order to stay alive, she struggles with Andy to flee danger.
Strange zombie movie that's all over the place but no where near as bad as that idiot on IMDb said.
Break down: The first half is rocking.
The second half is disjointed at best.
The direction sucks for the duration. But for some reason you cannot take your eyes of this film.
I give t a six for chutzpah.

I'm not sure what Shi Cheng means exactly (not that it matters now, after watching it), but I'm sure it doesn't translate into "Zombie Fight Club". I'm not even sure (or wasn't most of the time), why they chose that title. Apart from making this appealing title wise to some viewers (?), I reckon.
But even after understanding somehow, why they chose that title, it's kind of lame. But let's get back to the movie, that has scantily dressed women in it (there's a bit of nudity during a sex scene too, in case you were wondering) and some fighting and shooting in it too. There's a bit of an attempt to make some zombie jokes and other things to that effect, that either kind of work or are annoying. Depending on your taste. The action scenes (stunts) are pretty decent and the actors are pretty ... if that helps

I gave this movie 3 stars. All 3 were for the hot Asian girls. The story and video game special effects were pretty bad.
Zombie Fight Club is not the sort of movie that would win an awards. However, as a fan of campy B movie horror action I enjoyed this quite a bit. Now, there are some flaws for sure and the film is a bit disjointed and falls apart a bit in the second half. But, I digress Zombie Fight Club is a non stop action packed gorefest like Raid Redemption with zombies. As far as that goes this film delivers the blood splattered goods in spades here with a level of carnage that goes past eleven. The people who review and rate this movie on here must not be horror fans or action movie lovers. There are a enough bullets, blood and brutal beatdowns to make the most ardent of action fans wince. The fight choreography is great and Andy On is good as leading man and takes down an army of the undead with guns, sharp and blunt objects as well as using his kung fu skills as well. In Hong Kong cinema this kind of movie is extremely rare and is the 1st movie I have seen like this from there since Bio Zombie. Zombie Fight Club is not as well made as Bio Zombie, but far surpasses it for extreme violence, gore and sheer action. The best/worse actor in Hong Kong Michael Wong appears and is actually decent in this. To see what I'm talking about, check out his awkward performance in Beast Cops. Also, there is a Taiwanese rapper called Mc Hotdog(I plan on looking him up later) and lots of gorgeous skantly clad Chinese woman to take this already insane movie over the top. I thought this is good for what it is and for this type of craziness, I'm all in.
I'm enjoying my Halloween horror marathon and decided to include Zombie Fight Club. At first, I was impressed-the film seemed like a surprisingly decent zombie movie, packed with action, particularly dynamic and visually impressive martial arts, along with familiar elements from solid zombie stories.
But then came the downhill slide. To summarize, this film is one of the most mindless collages of gore, violence, nudity, sexuality, sexual violence, and outright chauvinism I've ever seen. And there's plenty of all of it. It feels like someone's secret bedroom fantasy put on screen. While zombie films often mix in some of these elements, here they dominate the runtime. Much of it doesn't even make sense, and the enjoyment quickly fades.
On top of that, there isn't even a real story-or rather, the story is all over the place. Characters randomly switch between Chinese and English, sometimes even mid-sentence, for no reason. By the end, I could only remember two characters by name, and one of them was zombified early on. There are no likable characters, and for the first hour I didn't even know who was supposed to be the protagonist.
The film also crams in references to other horror movies-not just zombie films-but many feel totally out of place. For example, who thought it was a good idea to throw the power loader from Aliens (1986) into a zombie flick? And more importantly, who has a power loader sitting in their small condo? Well, I guess the question doesn't matter-it only adds to the film's mindless nature.
There was a clear moment when I thought the film had ended, and I was ready for the credits. But no-there was still half an hour left. The story then shifted so drastically that I had to double-check I was watching the same movie. That final stretch was even more saturated with violence, nudity, and sexual violence, and even less concerned with coherent storytelling. By then, I just felt bad and disgusted.
It's sad, because I love zombie slashers and this one could have had potential. Instead, it squandered it. I don't recommend Zombie Fight Club. It's simply not worth your time.

- TriviaAt 57:05, when Andy and Jenny are about to leave the apartment with the old man, the camera pulls back showing him "wearing" the lower legs of a Caterpillar 5000 Work Loader, better known as the Power Loader from "Aliens" that Ripley uses to fight the queen at the end. It appears as though the foot plates have been removed to allow the actor to wear them with the suspenders he has on and one leg is stamped with "ZOMB 1970MAY19" with a suspicious looking "Umbrella" type logo.
- GoofsThe American Bluray cover art depicts a woman with a bob haircut in a black leather (tactical) outfit akin to Deadpool/Blade, complete with double katana style swords across her back as she stands off against a horde of blood red zombies. There is no scene with this outfit, weapons or character in the movie.
