Zombies attack the most forgetful people in the world. Also forget about the children too, they aren't important. phelous.com / phelous Originally Released: January 26, 2011
I met Mr Savini here in Pittsburgh last year. He was just walking down the street in front of my work and I come running out ...and then realize the last thing he'd want is some douche bag running up to him all crazy... So as I stop short he sees me and I just sheepishly from across the road say that I was a fan sorry don't wanna bug you blah blah blah... He came over and said hi...then asked how the food was at my work..and came in and got some sushi and oysters. We bullshitted for like a half hour..i made him and i a few oyster shooters to cheers to...then he bounced. Hes super super chill and down to earth . so if you ever see him just give the man some seafood and booze..then you too can have a 3/10 RU-vid comment anecdote to tell
I’m so glad I decided to rewatch the “… of the dead” videos because the “I don’t have to understand anything” line snuck into everyday use and I had completely forgotten what it was from
Oh man I kind of wish would re-review this, if only because the behind the scenes for this was INSANE! Basically after the movie was done the director Tor Ramsey explains most of the shittiness of this to the daughter of the producer, who used nepotism to run the entire production with an iron fist that would make a dictator stop and take notes. Keep in mind this woman had no directing, writing, or editing experience, but somehow felt inclined to think she was more then qualified to do all three, also never watched the original. Seriously, if you ever want to watch a Hollywood Horror story look up the Tor Ramsey letter, explains a shit ton of the well...shit.
"A crappy pseudo-sequel to NOTLD by John Russo? How have I not HEARD of that, much less purposely suffered through it?" *watches Phelous' review* "Oh... THAT'S why..."
Gasoline85 Naw if it was "Scooby Doo" the zombie would be old man jessup in a zombie suit trying to prevent the building of the car lot because one of the graves actually has a bunch of gold doubloons in it that he wants.
Just to be clear, _Return of the Living Dead_ was a novel that both it and Russo's initial screenplay adaptation played straight. It was when Dan O'Bannon joined did he rewrite it as a comedy. I feel compelled to note that since it seems Russo gets too much credit for the film when the closest he came was writing the second version of _Return of the Living Dead_ which was just a novelisation of the movie.
John Smith What's funny is, I have never seen a zombie movie or TV show that has said anything about how bad they must smell. Not in any real or meaningful way anyway, as in knowing they're coming due to their stink or something. :)
Wrath's Attack Thank you. I haven't spent anytime around rotting human corpses but I can say that one time there was a dead mouse in my bedroom and I couldn't sleep all night from the smell. So, yeah, I would think a rotting human body up walking around would be hard to miss. :)
Wrath's Attack It was night and I couldn't find it. I had to wait until morning when I could really tear the room apart and locate it exactly. I also needed help moving a bookcase and it was too late to get anyone.
Wrath's Attack Yeah, I got all the way on the other side of my bed and tried as hard as I could to not smell it until daylight. Made me wonder about these stories you hear about someone killing a person and living with the corpse for days or longer and how they stand that. On the upside I was doing my zombie short fiction site at the time and I managed to work it into a story I was doing at the time. :)
Wrath's Attack Yeah used to get ideas like that all the time, like when I had the dream about being bitten and turning into a zombie. I turned that into a story as well.
@@LibraGamesUnlimited they weren’t she kept threatening to fire several people, and used her nepotism to control and change production for her own personal “vision”. It’s an insane story honestly
Wait, the zombies "don't take to children"?? But this guy worked on the original Night... and then he did a 30th Anniversary... and then he did this sequel... so why couldn't he remember that there was a zombie child in that!?!
So how can anyone forget the ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE?! World War Z happend! There should be walls around every city or at least spotters! Espcially since its enver expalined why the zombies came up in the first place!
In World War Z Japan has nothing to fear all the zombies were killed there and most places don't to fear either there's rarely zombies the zombies lost
That VW bus going over the cliff, kills me every time :D This film is so packed with unintentional laughs it's actually watchable. Truly awful, but in a really fun way. Considering the history of zombie movies ( and there are plenty of them now ) the genre is great for one thing at least. So many laughs :) So much nonsense and fun !
15:00 He tossed the dynamite over the roof and it landed on the passenger seat? How did that happen? I guess 14 years was also long enough to forget how physics work.
They could have had the kids visit the place they were kept by the zombies as a mean to deal with trauma. That could have made the characters sympathetic and add tragedy as terrible things happened again. But no, the party cliche it is. Which is especially stupid here as Phelous mentioned, with everyone forgetting a zombie outbreak.
You forgot to mention the part where the Sheriff told the guys before the big fight "to not make contact with their teeth". Sheriff wouldn't it been better to have said "DON'T LET THEM FRICKIN BITE YOU"?! 😂
Met Savini at a con some years ago. I tried to give him props in his role in this movie “although with all due respect that movie..” and he butts in and says “that movie was a piece of shit” with a smirk on his face. He wasn’t gonna get any arguments from me lol
I remember watching this movie when i was 7 back in...well 2007 of course. Everything you said in this video was basically 7 year old me when i first watched it.
what was the worst choice in Tom Savini's carreer? being a mumbling zombie killer in children of the living dead or being killed with horrible CGI in Machete Kills?
Fun things from the Wikipedia article: In an interview with Tom Savini about his career, he referred to the film as "the biggest piece-of-shit movie ever made" and that his lines were dubbed. Savini echoed what Ramsey stating that the "producer on the show as an idiot. I think her father gave her that movie as a present, and she didn't know what the hell she was doing." and that "the film shouldn't even be on the shelves of video stores."
+Charlieboy Saldivar An old actor who got started in the 1960's. He's been in MASH, the Long Goodbye and other Robert Altman movies. He's still alive and been in stuff like Friends, the Ocean's Trilogy and Ray Donovan.
"Zombies don't take to kids." Ummm....did Russo forget that they had a kid bitten by a zombie in the first movie? I mean, he only _wrote_ the damn thing!
As both this and Sleepaway Camp show us, being raised as a girl makes for serial killers. Unless you're a girl, because hey, they're /supposed/ to be treated like that. Edit: I've been tallying them. Up to 5.
yup . so when you were born a dude but your mum wanted a chick and dresses you up like one you're either doomed to go phsycho or becoming a cross dressing cheesy horror movie with a fuzzy sweater #edwood
Its sort of true, once a psicologist made a familly raise a boy as a girl afrer his penis was destroyed in a circuncition, it didn't end well He knew he was a man, even with hormone therapy, and suffered alot of mental issues like depression wich lead him to comit suicide
+lastswordfighter none Nobody’s talking about actual transgender people here- you just decided to up and insult them for no reason. Great job, asswipe.
Fun story: Russo may have written a novel known as Return of the Living Dead, but Director Dan O'Bannon, et al, wrote the screenplay! He was also the director of Total Recall (1990)!
So it only took 14 years for the post apocaliptic world to return back to normal and people to forget there were zombies all over the place? Great writing.
Always one of my favorite reviews. How they could fuck up a movie this badly is kind of astounding. The director's explanation over at IMDB's comments section is very illuminating in that regard. P.S. - Diamanda also did a pretty awesome review of this movie, too. I recommend checking it out if you get a chance.
Tom Savini?! Really Tom?! REALLY?! You go from great stardom from your epic works on LOTS of different cult classic movies and now you resulted to this?! C'mon man, your the king of gore and damn good director. You don't deserve this!
So... Wasn't Abbot Hayes in the 30th anniversary said to have "did" stuff to little girls? Maybe that's why he really never had them kill children and keep them around, so he could do stuff to 'em. That thought at least makes the movie a bit creepy, sorta.
You should do a review for Flight of the Living Dead Outbreak on a Plane 2007 Phelan it’s a good stupid Zombie movie in a good way and I’m surprised that you haven’t review that movie all this time bro and you should do a review for it too
