Return of the Living Dead

3. It's just a movie man. it does say at the start thats it based on real events

[Huescacho]

The sucess of the 28 Days Later, could be real?. A virus of the rage modified, that can pass by touch, peron to person. They aren't zombies, but they was like zombies, no?.

Anyone tried calling the 800 number on the drum lately?

Just a few quick questions (as I watch) ... I understand that the scene after the Trioxin spill at Uneeda implied that the gas reanimated all the dead things in the warehouse. IMO a nice touch was the butterfly display coming to life. My question is WTF was up with the split dog? The scene seemed to suggest this was an actual half-dog carcass that was brought back to life. Apart from never hearing of such a biological study tool, what was the significance of this little segment (discovering the split dog all wet, goopy and alive)? I always thought it was a replica dog for school study. And if this were true, why would it have returned to life? How in the fcuk can you say "BRAINS! LIVE BRAINS!" without any frickin' lips? (furthermore, "THE PAIN! ... THE PAIN OF BEING DEAD.") With the skull being the casing that holds the brain, how exactly does one break through and instantly chomp on the brain simply by biting? It would seem more likely that the attacker would have to crack open the skull to get at the brain ... right? I know these have surely been asked before. But I'm throwing it back out there anyway. I wasn't so critical of these things when I saw this film in the theaters at age 4, but indeed these questions have surfaced over the years ... Good points, But it is just a movie. I do not think it was intended to be looked in a serious way. That dog thing had me wondering as well. Those things are always plastic so that was odd. The skull with eyes I thought was not needed. And how can an extremely rotten corpse talk anyways? I do not think the people that made the movie intended to make it as realistic as possible. They just wanted to make a fun movie. I loved how those two guy slowly turned into zombies while still being alive. They never killed over or anything. They just slowly changed color, dropped body temperture and such while still up and talking.

Yes, this questions was asked before. All members of this site know that zombie crisis is impossible that suced, but in a movie, the actors must do impossible things for gain scenes of action... If we want reality, zombie movies can't exists!. ... but, hey, its a movie. Its a movie. Yep, its a movie. 1. Remember this movie is a horror/comedy; a spoof of sorts. 2. Remember this movie is a horror/comedy; a spoof of sorts. 3. Remember this movie is a horror/comedy; a spoof of sorts. ......It's just a bad movie. 3. It's just a movie man. Good points, But it is just a movie. I do not think it was intended to be looked in a serious way. I thought my suspension of disbelief would've been obvious by the fact that I'm posting on website devoted to films about the living dead. I'm aware of the comic book and cartoon aspect of this film. I posted this in the curiosity realm of "runners vs. shamblers" ... that's all.

its only an 80s movie, what do you expect (dont get me wrong thats all i watch mostly). i have always liked this movie, good times in my book

[capncnut]

I agree, Return of the Living Dead is pure 80's flashback material. The soundtrack even more so.

Anyone tried calling the 800 number on the drum lately? It's a number for Pilgram Telephone services. Sex related junk it seems.

The sucess of the 28 Days Later, could be real?. A virus of the rage modified, that can pass by touch, peron to person. They aren't zombies, but they was like zombies, no?. It wasn't passes by touch, you moron. Anyway, do you even know how Rage worked?

[Huescacho]

No, I don't know exactly. I wanted tell you if it could happen sometimes... How are you for tell me this?. I could tell you injuries until tomorrow, but you are very stupid. My time is very expensive for use with you...

[Pothatuu]

As for realism in living dead films, it's begun to bother me when the dead have crystal clear eyes instead of the milky cataract look (like Night '90). Now I hope it bothers you all too. Dawn, Day and Land all had crystal clear eye zombies (although Romero didn't have the budget for those kinds of effects)

dont call nacho a moron he is a good person and would never insult you nacho the rage virus is spread thru bites or exposure to blood or other body fluids of someone who is infected already i always wondered about rage, and this is my one major problem with the films concept is why dont they attack each other it is called "rage" not 'selective rage" they dont kill for food they kill cuz they are full of mindless rage and therefore they should attack anyone or anything they come across wheter that person was infected or not as for return, i saw it when it came out and i clearly remember it being described as a horror comedy and the orignal return storyline by russo isnt bad but the zombies behave much different from the romero ones in dawn and day ect it has the sherrif as the main charecter and has a zombie baby in it long before dawn 04

It wasn't passes by touch, you moron. Anyway, do you even know how Rage worked? Thats extremely rude. What are you, twelve? My man is chill and is always nice. You're just jealous cause the ladies seem to really dig homeboy Rage is passed by body fluids. If blood etc gets in and open wound or in your mouth, eyes (like the Dad) you get it. i always wondered about rage, and this is my one major problem with the films concept is why dont they attack each other it is called "rage" not 'selective rage" they dont kill for food they kill cuz they are full of mindless rage and therefore they should attack anyone or anything they come across wheter that person was infected or not I think the real reason is he wasnted to make a romero zombie film, thats why other than rage and non dead, it is conceptually the same thing. He changed it up a little bit. If the infected attacked each other they wouldnt be as much of a threat because they would be very busy with each other, thogh that might've been cool. as for return, i saw it when it came out and i clearly remember it being described as a horror comedy and the orignal return storyline by russo isnt bad but the zombies behave much different from the romero ones in dawn and day ect it has the sherrif as the main character and has a zombie baby in it long before dawn 04 I saw it in 9th grade I think and it was described as a horror comedy. In the commentary the director (O'Bannon?) said he worshiped GAR films and didn't want to crap on him so he made it funny and changed Zombies enough so it wasnt that close. Man, that movie was SUPER popular back then.

[Head Shotz]

Its was just made for entertainment. I don't think it was ever played off as a GR type film, which seems to be the norm nowadays. Rape the past for a dollar today! I still think one of the funniest scenes is in the cemetary in part II.

there zombies cereval, they can do anything but yeah, i thought the same thing about the whole no lips situation
