You looking for a New Zealand commercial? If so probably the best way is to just do a ton of research online to try and find what company / people made it and then try and contact them. The production company will likely have archives as would TVNZ too who you could potentially contact.
I remember being 6 or 7 years-old when I saw Meet the Feebles on TV for the first time, then you have to imagine how schocking that was for me, while watching this movie. In fact, this Jackson's film had me nightmares for a while.
Thanks To NZ Retro Top 40 doing the September 1991 Chart this week, they mentioned they didn’t have a radio Quality version of this song, and requested anyone who has a copy to get in touch so it can be played on radio again. My First listen today on 21st September 2024. Instant love, played it three times already. Let’s get a petition to get this a Debut in the Rock 2000 in 2025!
We can see some stunts here that weren't used in the movie. The cannon roll at 1:08, the explosion at 3:00, and the crash into the Giorgio Armani store at 3:56.
I randomly did an impression of Bamber Gascoigne once down the pub. They all fell about telling me I'd nailed his voice to a 't'. Had to keep doing it all night. Thinking up new questions that 'sounded right' became incredibly difficult but it kept them all mightily entertained. Residential course, Winchester 1984.
This reporter, along with the rest of his channel, thinks that he's above BRAINDEAD/DEAD ALIVE ahahahaha Well let me tell you, buddy - NOBODY remembers your name. Everyone who's worth a damn remembers Dead Alive/Braindead. Get wrecked.
I think nearly all them programmes are from the BBC or ITV in Britain. It seems very similar to what Irelands second channel did, RTE 2, in the early years (1978 to about 1981). They mainly showed BBC and ITV programmes in their schedules. Just to say, I’ve nothing against it. New Zealand was similar to Ireland when it came to television. We only had one channel (RTE 1, formerly just Telefis Eireann) until November 1978, then two channels for 18 years until Telefis an Gaeltachta (T na G) opened in 1996 and even then, you had to buy a new aerial to receive (from what I read). TV3 opened in October 1998, giving us 4 channels, although it was originally planned to only be available on the MMDS system (this was a system to broadcast cable channels to areas that didn’t have cable (outside the main towns and cities)). The only good thing going for Ireland is that we could pick up British channels (BBC 1, BBC 2, ITV and Channel 4 / S4C (from 1982 on)) from Wales or Northern Ireland, or if you were lucky, you had a cable system in the town you lived in.
It's one of the most messed up movies ever. But it really grew on me, PJ has a fascinating mind. When I first heard he was to make LOTR I thought - The guy that made Braindead?!
If only they knew whilst he was making his silly 'splatstick' movie, that the man would go on to become the most important kiwi filmmaker of all time, almost single handedly turning new zealand into one of the most attractive places to make a film in the world....
Yeah there are longer versions out there. This special was a condensed version of a bunch of other episodes if I remember rightly. You should be able to find it on RU-vid somewhere.
11:30 Thats Dr Bob, i know i red this somewhere that he worked with peter jackson on Braindead 😅 Thank you so much for this, i never saw any behind the scenes from this movie ❤
FUN FACT: Richard Edlund not only did Air Force One, but also Turbulence starring Ray Liotta and Lauren Holly. It’s a shame we never got new footage of the behind the scenes from that movie
And I think they also didn't mention it because the movie was a box office failure, but you have to admit that Turbulence got some very good miniature effects, the best since Executive Decision 1996 and even Air Force One.
