Zombie 5: Killing Birds

The Cinema Snob bites the bullet and suffers through "Zombie 5" to determine if it really is worse than Part 4.

It's true, "Zombie 5: Killing Birds" actually was the first movie I ever netflixed. I got so many requests to do this movie, I set up a netflix account so I could specifically get this movie. The reason I have a blanket on in this episode is easy. I had one on for the "Zombie 4" review. Although I'm still not sure why I had it on in that review.

Also, this is the first episode to inquire my now trademark use of the Stinger at the end of each video. For those of you who don't know, The Stinger was most popularly used at the end of "Mystery Science Theater 3000," where in a preposterous, ridiculous, or just down right funny 5 second clip of the movie would be placed at the end of the episodes. I didn't start out wanting to use The Stinger for every episode, but after I got many many requests to do so after the "Zombie 5" review, it simply just became a tradition for the reviews.

There are a couple of previous episodes that have a clip of the movie at the end ("Zombie 4," "Ninja Untouchables"), mainly just for time's sake, but I credit the "Zombie 5" review as strictly being the beginning of the Stingers.

The "Zombie 5" video is also notable for being another beginning for the series: The debut of The Cinema Snob opening credit sequece. For the theme song, it came down between "Theme From Greatest American Hero" and "Looks Like We Made It" by Barry Manilow (which had been used at the end of the "Satan's Children" review). I went with the former though, seeing how it is possibly the greatest TV theme of all time.
