When Dawn of the Dead came to Europe, it was actually called Zombi or even Zombie everywhere in Europe except for the United Kingdom. Maybe there was a few countries in Europe that called it Dawn of the Dead or something else, but Zombi/Zombie was the European name. You can find the French posters where it funnily says 'Zombie' on it, just like the name of Lucio Fulci's Zombie in North America. So it's very possible that Zombi 2 or Zombie 2 was the common European name for the Fulci classic, other than 'Voodoo' which was the name in Denmark. Hilariously, Japan not only shared the exact same cut as Europe but they called it 'Zombies'. And Zombie/Zombi 2 ended up being called 'Zombies 2' in Japan. And the award for most amazing history of a film's title history goes to...
Zombi is my fave Fulci and def a masterpiece, agreed. That shark vs zombie scene is up there with the chariot race in Ben Hur lmfao. Not kidding.
Listening to 'Living After Death' is enough to turn you immediately into a badass with a pastel suit, a pair of Aviators, a big gigantic moustache, a Countach posing right behind you out of nowhere and a goddamn Uzi magically appearing in your hand. It's just that type of song. The type that puts a bloody smile on your face while your ready for battle!
Zombi 3 is pretty dope imo. Yeah it has flaws but its so fucking FUN. Plus its a zombie movie in the PHILLIPINES. My family is filipino we love that.
Can't imagine why Italy doesn't make horror or genre movies anymore, with such an immaculate eye for quality as this.
"Zombies don't have the brain-power to run a radio show!" I don't know mate, you didn't hear British radio DJs of the late 1980s.
I can't bring myself to tarnish the perfection of Dawn/Zombi 2. This is all the info I need on the "franchise." Thanks, fellas. 10/10 fricheks
Dawn of the Dead is the best zombie movie ever made. Zombie 2 is amazing and may be much favorite Fulchi film. I thought Zombie 3 was okay. Zombie 4 and 5 were both horrid. Especially 5.
Not gonna lie I love Zombi 3 & 4 as well as the first Zombie. But 5 is of no redeeming value whatever, garbage from beginning to end & not in a good way. At least 3 & 4 had a recurring theme that in a way tied them to the first movie.
Don't forget Hell of the Living Dead another bad fun dawn rip off directed by Bruno Mattei who I think finished zombi 3 for fulci
You're convulsing with laughter & your giddiness is contagious. Thanks for the uplift.
Always fun to watch your videos. Thanks for making my day!
So, the article on Wikipedia says that there was confusion among the "Killing Birds" production crew as to who was actually directing the film. Not surprising. Robert Vaughn must have been having financial difficulties. Wow, what a crazy non-franchise patchwork! As for the many names of "Dawn of the Dead" I feel like I know less now than before I watched the video. HILARIOUS video, by the way! I loved it. The perfect interlude from a crap day at work.
funnily enough, Fulci said the thing he was most proud of in Zombi 3 was the radio DJ zombie
Zombi II is my all time favourite zombie film. Very atmospheric.
I've seen the first two many times as they're classics. The one half-directed by Fulci is fun in a "so-bad-it's-good" way. That bird attack scene on the bus with the accompanying cheesy rock music... Then again, I've never watched it sober 😆
Haha man I gotta say I love Zombie 3. Sort of feels like a strange video game or something. Just a weird fever dream of a film
There's a Greek zombie movie
Yeah they really don’t make em like they used to. Even the games too
Awesome episode. I’ve only ever seen zombi 2 and dawn of the dead. I might watch zombi 3 just to see how bad it is.
