Trivia
Amusement Securities Corp., a company that had helped finance Les Morts-vivants (1932), claimed its contract for the 1932 film gave it the exclusive right to use the word "zombie" in movie titles. The New York State Supreme Court ruled that screenings of the film could take place until a settlement was reached and awarded Amusement Securities $11,500 in damages and legal expenses.

Goofs
In scenes set during World War I, characters use the word "robot" repeatedly to describe the mind-controlled soldiers. The word was not coined until 1920, in the play "R.U.R."

Keep It In Context... This Was Probably Cool Stuff in 1936!

REVOLT OF THE ZOMBIES (2 outta 5 stars) No, this is not a long-lost ancestor to the classic George A. Romero zombie flicks. This is a low-budget potboiler from 1936 that probably seemed very cool to audiences of the time... but seems awfully routine these days. There is actually a pretty good scene at the start of a soldier firing off his pistol into a horde of approaching zombie soldiers... and a close-up of bullets entering the bare chest of one of them. The effect looks hopelessly fake these days but in 1936 I'm sure it had audiences gasping. The story concerns the search for the secret of mind control... ostensibly to create an unstoppable zombie army... but later as a means for one character to win the woman he loves. The movie is barely an hour long but moves at a snail's pace so it seems feature-length, believe me! There really isn't much to recommend it... you may get some amusement from the faked studio shots of the star "wading" through a "swamp". The ending is interesting... so I'd say the movie is worth seeing at least once. More than likely you will see it as an extra feature on some cheap "4 movies on 1 DVD" compilation at Wal-Mart for five bucks. Hey, it's well worth the money...
