}}Chief Zabu is a long-unreleased film that was written, produced and directed by Neil Cohen and Zack Norman (under the pseudonym Howard Zuker).[2][3][4] It stars Norman, Allen Garfield and Allan Arbus as New York businessmen trying to take over a newly-independent Polynesian nation.[5] Production began in 1986 but, due to various issues, Cohen and Norman were unable to complete the film until 2016. It premiered at Laemmle Theatres' Monica Film Center on October 28, 2016[6][7] and screened a week later, on November 7, at the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival ("FLIFF").[8] Trailers and clips are available through both Vimeo[9] and YouTube.[10] On 8/16/17, Zabu's co-writer/directors were pictured on the front page of the New York Times Arts Section with a history of the film's unique and unusual journey.[11]

A long running advertisement for the film in Variety was the source of a recurring joke on Mystery Science Theater 3000.[12]

Beginning in September 2019, the filmmakers will embark on a 15-city tour with a live presentation event featuring screenings of the film followed by a stand-up Q & A.[13]

Reception

Sheri Linden of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a positive review, calling it "A comic time capsule with a timeless punch."[15]

In anticipation of the film's screening at FLIFF, a Fort Lauderdale restaurant introduced a specialty cocktail named the "Chief Zabu".[16]
