It's unfortunate that in order to get modern audiences to watch a western, you got to put zombies in it. Even worse, you have to turn it into as comedy in order to have any credibility left.
Undead Or Alive is entertaining on a no-brainer level, though one wishes that the filmmakers would have watched a ton of straight westerns before making an attempt to spoof the genre. Come to think of it, the zombie genre doesn't fare much better in the parody department.
Instead, we're treated to a handful of clichés about as deep as a Looney Tunes short, mixed with a pinch of political correctness, and an ending that rips off A Boy And His Dog.
Still, it moves fast enough. Chris Kattan and James Denton are personable enough. Leslie Jordan is fun to watch too.
score 6/10
