Dead Men Don't Die (1991)

A cloddish zombie comedy with newsreader Elliott Gould rubbed out by cocaine dealers and brought back to life as a zombie by a passing Voodoo priestess cum office cleaner, wherupon he returns to the screen and to tracking the coke cartel. Gould's fifteen year career slump continues with a hideously embarassing geek performance, and ex Disney director Malcolm Marmorstein (Pete's Dragon) doesn't even throw in any bad taste to make the movie remotely interesting.
