Day of the Dead extras

[EvilFlyingCow]

I stumbled across this page somehow when I was surfing... I don't know how many people have seen this page with a picture of a couple of extras from the movie, but I just thought I'd share it.

That's the guy who comes out of the bank after the duct-tapped gator!

[mista_mo]

Pretty cool pic, that guy was a legendary extra. Must've taken some balls to stagger around that alligator!

I found this photo about 4 years ago and I contacted them. Bill Love was the "alligator wrangler" on the film. That is why he was picked for the scene. He actually kicked the gator when he comes out of the bank to get it to move. Bill is an amateur photographer and he had tons of behind the scenes stills from his personal collection from the shoot in downtown Ft. Myers. I purchased some of these from him and gave them to Anchor Bay for use on the special edition dvd of "Day of the Dead" back in 2003. They are in the stills section of the dvd. Really cool stuff, including a surfer zombie that never made it into the film.

Nah, perfectly safe to walk around a duct-taped gator...worse comes to worse he breaks your legs with his tail! What a great opportunity!

Did they somehow contact you or did you go to them? And on a side note: STILLS SECTION??? I must be blind....I haven't seen that yet.

I contacted Mike Felsher who was with Anchor Bay at the time and told him that I had the pictures and asked if they wanted them. They did and I sent them in. The stills are on the 2nd disc. There are tons of cool photos on that disc.

Good day! I am new here. I like to share scan(s) I did from german magazine "BRAVO Nr. 36, 1987.08.27, page 41". It has an announcement for "Zombie II - Das letzte Kapitel" (Day of the Dead) in the "Kino-Wochenschau" (Cinema weekly show) section. You might add this for documentaction somwhere you like. Title of the mag: Full page 41 scan: And the rest of the cinema section I scanned, because why not, page 40: Page 42: [Edit]: Magazine is from 27. August (Not 14th. I got the post headline wrong). In West Germany the movie was started shown 20. August 1987. Movie was made from 22 October 1984 - 16 January 1985.
