Summary: Happy Death Day, Roger!
Review: Ahh, the splendor of reanimated Chinese chicken, violently screeching to life, as Joe Piscopo and Treat Williams die, die, and die again...all this movie needs is Jeffrey Combs in a dress! Vincent Price's mere prescence anoints this rollicking joyride cop/horror crossbreed that will cannibalize your attention span as it presents the universal truth that all heterosexual males wish to be "reincarnated as the seat on a girl's bicycle." God bless you, Joe and Treat, and a Happy Death Day to you both! "Dead Heat" will smoke your sausage.

Summary: Dead Heat = B-Grade = Enjoyable Fun That Is Irresisttible!!
Review: Don't get me wrong. The last time I watched this movie, it was memorable that I wanted to own it. Years past, my country sucks (sorry, but its true) and finally... HERE IT IS! The DVD version of "Dead Heat" (Thank you!!!)So anyway, after viewing this rare artifact, the fun is back again... with extras! The deleted scenes were something, but I like the promo kit and even the trailer I never get to watch at all! Fun, enjoyable and something you shouldn't pass it by, this movie features Treat Williams at his best with unbelievable (yet entertaining) dead zombies and animals that will either gross you out or just make you laugh out loud. Its a rare find and its worth on your shelve.

Summary: piscopo = pathetic!
Review: How can you allow people to make this kind of movies? It's theworst movie I've ever seen (Demolition High is up second). OK it maybe from the 80's but, c'mon...But I did sure laugh a couple of times, but that's just because I enjoy turkey movies...And what's up with Joe Piscopo? Fy fan!

Summary: Not A Comedy
Review: I am not sure what to think about this film. It is billed as a comedy but works better as bad horror. Comedy seems to only exist as a label. Sure, Piscopo does do some wisecracking but that hardly makes it a comedy.
The film opens with a jewelry store robbery. Officers Williams and Piscopo respond to the call and are soon involved in a major shootout where dozens of cops are shot (this is comedy?). For some reason the perps just don't stop when being shot. This is the sixth in a series of similar crimes.
The investigation takes the partners to a pharmaceutical company where Piscopo makes a discovery and Williams is killed. But Williams's ex-girlfriend sees what is going on and resurrects him using a strange device. Unfortunately the effect is not permanent and Williams only has about twelve hours of new life. He must use them wisely if he is to solve his own murder and nab those behind it.
There is a lot of death in this film. First are all of the cops in the opening robbery but we also have quite a few criminals get blown away as well as two love interests. I just can't believe that such a thing is a comedy. My guess is that it is more like An American Werewolf in London that people mistakenly label as comedy because there are light scenes to offset the heavy. But if you are looking to laugh, this is not the place to look.

Summary: zombies, piscopo, and price..., oh my
Review: I am very excited to discover that Dead Heat is on it's way to DVD. We have officers Roger Mortis (Treat Williams) and Doug Bigelow (joey P)hunting re-animated crooks. In the course of their investigation, Mortis get's whacked and must go through the "Resurrection machine" for a second chance at heroism. Dead Heat: blood, guts, decaying bodies, and laughter--one of 1988's finest films and an underappreciated comedy-horror. Other notable players are Dr McNab, played by Darren McGavin (father from Christmas Story), Martha Quinn (how 80's can you get), oh and some guy named Vincent Price as Loudermilk.

Summary: Just a fun shoot-em up undead film
Review: I got this movie back in the days when I had a video store. I wasn't much of a Piscopo or Williams fan. I was very surprised to find this a rollicking cop "buddy" movie, with one of the cops becoming dead.. and reanimated. I loved the crossing of genres, cop action with horror/thriller. This movie does have some fun twists in it. And to see one of Vincent Price's last roles this is worth it. Why don't they make more of this cross genre? Loved it, and have been looking for this movie for my collection since I sold my store in '93.

Summary: [shakes head in disgust]
Review: i remember watching this movie...sadly. it's totally devoid of any talent. i'll probably buy it because i love cinematic garbage. casual movie fans, however, should be reminded that this was the highlight of piscopo's laughable career.

Summary: Laughed my arse off
Review: I saw this in the theater way back when and I thought it was hilarious so I went and saw it again. Treat Williams is a cop who dies and yet he lives on and decomposes throughout the film. Piscipoe is not funny normally - this is the only time you'll ever see him being funny. The film was not well received and I think it has somewhat of a cult following since only a handful of people actually liked it. Haven't seen it in ages so I don't know how well it would hold up. I remember it being really cool though. This is what 80's movies were all about... being really terrible with cheesey special effects, but entertaining as all hell. I won't buy it until it comes to DVD.
