Good one, Big P. Can I call you Big P? Yes, yes I can, that’s why I just did. I hope you decide to imitate the prattling priest in one of the upcoming videos, though I can’t imagine how it would be funnier than your Jon Voight.
By the way, did you notice that you wrote ‘Geroge Lucas’ instead of ‘George Lucas?’ I think you should replace that error with a cg Jabba the Hutt who wriggles around and fails to be intimidating.
Oh, and thanks for hitting on the re-scoring thing, it’s not the kind of stuff I’d notice even if I investigated it myself despite the real difference it makes.
well, to the movie cridet that is really good clear qulity! that’s the only part they should ben kept and make a new realse of it! even if it’s still take the classic feeling of the movie……….. OMFG
OMMMFFFGGGG!!! no! noo *go and look childrens of the living dead up* pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff HOLY SHIT!!!
Wow, that was horrible. And “Children of the Living Dead” sounds even worse…
Ooh, did your opening reference the first Doctor this time? I’m enjoying the Doctor Who education. 🙂
Giving a crappy backstory to the first zombie was so necessary. And that endless “zombies walking down the street” scene really added, too. Look, a waitress zombie from that diner Ben mentioned once! She totally belongs in the movie!
How did the priest get a zombie bite to the face and survive? I love how even the dog got sick of him and left.
When I was in grade school or junior high I saw a colorized Night of the Living Dead that overdubbed all the dialogue to make it “funny,” and that was more respectful than this. What did George Romero do to get screwed over this many times, anyway?
I only recently discovered Doctor Who (this series is virtually unknown in my country, France, because apparently, TV executives think that Caruso one-liners are better than British witticism… French TV sucks), so I may be wrong, but I do believe this opening is a mash-up of the openings of the 1st to the 3rd doctors.
Also, I presume this is a reference to the fact that Doctor Who started in the 60s, and Night of the Living Dead was also made in the 60s (though there is a five years gap between the two).
Apparently public domain=free reign to ruin the original. I wonder if John Russo is related to Vince Russo (I’ve been watching too much Wrestle Wrestle and Botchamania lately, sorry).
Wow, this movie DEFINES the saying “if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it”. Seriously, did anyone come to Russo and say “yeah, Night of the Living Dead is pretty good but you know, I really want to know why the first zombie was there. I mean, a corpse in a cemetery? Come on, now” ?
Also, any particular reason the priest was made to look like Anton LaVey? Was it supposed to be some kind of “awesome” message about corruption inside the Christian church? Because you need more than a goofy looking priest for something like that to work, especially if you then turn him into a pseudo comedy relief (another thing the dramatic, tense and atmospheric original clearly lacked).
EDIT: whoops, this accidentally popped up as a reply to Desicas’ comment. That wasn’t supposed to happen. Oh well.
Dude… i never knew this existed…and i am a devoted fan of the original..
just looking at the clips you showed this makes it look like the film had the feeling that it dragged for hours…
but… a sequel? seriously? are you KIDDING me?! D: Phelous why do you do this to yourself ?!
Wow I have actually heard of this thing before but Ive never seen any of the footage. Goddamit this is horrible. The new music itself isn’t too bad but it just dosent fit with this movie. So I take it at the end of this version of night the zombie apocolypse dosent happen. Oh and poor Mushu.
Oh god. I hate this edition so much. It took me a really long time to get to see Night of The Living Dead. I missed it all the times when it aired on TV for one reason or another, and I could never find any copy of it other than the colored version (for some reason I was picky, and wanted to see the film in black and white for the first time). Then I saw this one on the shelf, expected it to be an update, like cleaning up film grains and such… but no. God damn I was pissed on this. It felt like something a bunch of highschoolers had spliced in, and the new music score’s completely tensionless. *Sigh* It remains the movie in my shelf that I get really pissed off whenever I see it. When I get a decent copy of the original, I’m gonna throw this garbage out. … Enough of that rant. Glad to hear you tear this a new one. The part where you splice yourself into the film was hilarious.
we just clean up the blur and thats it? a masterpiece ruined, if only russo had adapted in farmer chris redfield into this mess at least that would entertaining, stupid but entertaining.
