Anyone seen Fulci's City of the Dead?

From the reviews you guys are giving this film it sounds as if all i need to see is a 10 minute gore highlight reel. Seems to be its only redeeming quality.

I read they made the chick who vomited intestines or something actually swallow lambs intestines and vomit them up.... you couldnt pay me to do that

If that's true then that's real dedication to your craft. No paycheck is worth that.

The intestine-vomiting scene was accomplished by having the actress swallow still-warm sheep entrails, then regurgitate them on camera. In extreme closeups of guts flying out of her mouth a fake head was used. http://imdb.com/title/tt0081318/trivia

That's freakin' awesome!! That's what i'm talking about !! Who needs cgi when you have stuff like that? Now if i could find a woman with that kind of lack of gag reflex i'd marry her.

If I was put into her position i'd make like Fran from Dawn of the Dead and be like HELL NO AND NEVER ASK ME TO DO THAT AGAIN (when GAR asked her to scream and she refused to play a weak character) ...you gotta draw the line somewhere for your dignity

But is her just indecisively standing there while one zed is attacking her man and another is closing in on her make her look any less weak or dependent on someone elses protection? I think that scene turned out to be a compromise between the extemes that both she and gar wanted. I think this is a stand she took because of the independent/strong woman movemen tthat was happening at the time. I would have definitely been at those bra burning bonfires.

I haven't seen City of the dead yet, but I don't think I want to waste my time. I watched Zombi2, or something like that by Fuci and thought it was kind of boring. I guess I had been too spoiled by watching Dawn and getting a fast, to the point story line that I couldn't wait for this movie to start moving along. I ended up returning it to the video store and never even watched the whole thing.

I read they made the chick who vomited intestines or something actually swallow lambs intestines and vomit them up.... I have met the guy that sits next to her when she chucks up. His name is Michelle Soavi. He became a director himself and directed Dellamorte Dellamore (and a few other films) as well as being an occasional actor and second unit director. He was really nice but spoke hardly any English. Oh, and he still had the back of his head intact "Loo loo loo I got some apples, loo loo loo you got some too"

It had it's moments but when you're used to the master's work (gar) everything else pales in comparison.
