Planet Terror

[ZZERO]

¿Habláis de zombies? Creo que a lo largo de mi vida habré visto medio centenar de pelis de zombies, y eso sí, es un género que admite todo tipo de categorías. Me río del calificatívo de Serie B para algunas de ellas.

La de GEORGE A. ROMERO se justifica de más por ser la precursora de esta temática. No sabría decir cuántas revisiones de esta pelicula han sacado, todas ellas regodeándose en al carnaza y los efectos especiales. Pero ninguna consigue plasmar el terror de la cinta de ROMERO con esos contrastes de luz.

Entre todas las peliculas de zombies la que más he visto y con la que he disfrutado bastante es "Zombie, Dawn Of The Dead", que algunos recordaréis por ser aquella cuya acción transcurre dentro de un supermercado. La que no consigo recordar cómo se titula es una con una vertiente un poco verderona donde hay una escena en la que un niño llamado Michael le arranca a una mujer un pezón de un mordisco. En ese género terrorífico todo se ha explorado ya.

Acá algunos detalles de los cambios realizados para esta edición :

    * The DVD release has had some changes in the audio compared to the original version :
          o The TSOL song has been replaced with another song
          o The Tar Man's voice has been re-recorded. However, the original Tar Man voice can be heard briefly during the closing credit sequence.
          o The line "send more cops" has also been re-recorded
          o The song "Take a walk" has been removed, now you only hear it for a few seconds with no vocals.
    o The song "Burn the flames" has also been shortened.


    * The original version of the movie had "The Damned's 'Dead Beat Dance'" on the scene where all of the punks are driving in Suicide's car, but some versions have a different song and it is a little longer. You can tell if the version you have is the original if there is loud laughter after Col. Glover says "Look, we've been through all this before. They could be anywhere" to his wife.

    * The edited-for-TV Version cuts out all nudity, gore, swears and curses and (some delete anything like "God damn", but others go even further by deleting "Jesus Christ" or any other name-in-vain type of stuff). Some of the scenes are changed around, slightly. For instance, the part where Casey (Jewel Shepard) say to Chuck (John Philbin): "Oh great here's your friend and mine!" Suicides reply "Hey F**k you, ball-buster!" is changed to "I mean I got somethin' to say, ya know!".

    * German version is edited to remove most blood and gore and the final scene stops before the zombie appears from the grave.

    * A workprint version is about 20 minutes longer than the theatrical release. Additional material includes:
          o An extended scene that takes place after frank shows Freddy the split dogs, but before he shows him the cadaver in the freezer. Frank shows Freddy a tank of oxygen and tells him how explosive it is.
          o A deleted scene after Frank shows Freddy the cadaver. Freddy asks how late are they working. When Frank tells Freddy, Freddy says he has a date with Tina. Frank says it's a good thing it's a girl because he was nervous about the earring Freddy had. Frank also tells Freddy that he has to close the cadaver room tight because it pops open.
          o An extended scene where the punks are walking down the street. After Casey says they should all go pick Freddy up, Tina says that it's only him and her alone going out, meaning that Tina never really wanted to hang out with them that night. This scene also has some more profanity and it also introduces the character Suicide as Trash tells the punks that he has a car.
          o A deleted scene as Freddy is looking at the medical book, Frank looks outside an says "It smells like rain!"
          o An alternate, and longer take of Frank telling Freddy about the events in the 1960's with The Night Of The Living Dead. This scene version of the scene also has some extra dialogue where Freddy says that Night Of The Living Dead was on of the best movies ever. He also says it's impossible that it's true cause he would have heard about it. An extended scene where the punks are deciding what to do. As Chuck suggests that they hang in the cemetery, Suicide says, "lets pay our f***ing respects!"
          o A deleted scene that shows Scuz, Spider, and Casey looking into a mausoleum and seeing all sorts of debris littered inside by other people who had previously partied there. Spider replies, "I don't ever want to be buried in a place like this!" then Scuz pinches Casey as she calls him a dork.
    o Extended scene from when the punks are all screaming about the zombie in the basement. As Tina suggests they call the cops, Scuz replies, "no because they'll kick out a**!" Casey and Chuck then tell the others where they saw Freddy. Tina gets mad for them not telling her.


    * Also a never-before-seen opening and ending was shot.

    * The phrase "F*ck You" is written on the back of Freddy's jacket. When some of the scenes were re-shot for television, the phrase on his jacket was jokingly altered to "Television Version."

    * 2002 DVD release (MGM DVD) appears to restore much of the music to its original design.

    * Some more additional material in the "Workprint" version:
          o Extended footage of Ernie preparing the corpse (inserting a set of clamps, putting a rubber block under its chin, applying makeup, stapling its face)
          o Instead of calling Casey "Ballbuster," Suicide calls her "Chocolate Face" (presumably a reference to the chocolate bar she is eating earlier in the movie).
          o Trash, wandering by herself in the graveyard and crying, says "Hey wait, you guys, I ain't got no shoes!" The scene ends before she is attacked. Her actual attack by the corpses is moved to a later spot in the film.
          o When Ernie tries to use the phone in the office, the take is very different from the one in the released version: he doesn't close the steel shutters, leaving the window wide open.
          o When Spider demands to know what's going on, Bert calls him a "Black Bastard," and he goes into more detail about what the chemical does to the corpses.
          o Freddy's attack on Tina is extended and cut a little differently: they circle around the podium at the front of the chapel, which he knocks over. She runs to the door, he follows and slams into it. He pushes her down on a pew and she kicks him off (which is where the scene in the released version actually begins). Before throwing the candlestick at him she throws a folding chair, which he knocks aside. There is an additional shot of Frank running down the hallway.
          o Ernie comforts Tina by saying "Don't you worry about Freddy and Frank. You see, they've gone to heaven. Those things out there...they're just dead bodies that want to eat our brains."
          o Frank's cremation is much longer: it starts with a closeup of Frank staring at something. The camera slowly pulls back to show that he's staring at the furnace across the room. He stands and groans, the furnace tilts back and forth in a dreamlike way, he mouths a prayer just before putting his wedding ring on the furnace switch.
          o The scene where Bert and Spider are preparing to leave the mortuary is an alternate take, with different dialogue. Instead of telling Bert to watch his "ass out there," he says "no matter what happens, don't name it after me." Tina wonders what they should do if Bert and Spider don't make it, and Bert tells her to "think positive."
          o Bert's call to the police is longer: he is put on hold by the operator, and gives more details about what's happening and where he is.
    o After the nuclear weapon explodes, a voice-over explains that the disaster was "officially described as a petrochemical refinery accident," and that the contaminated dirt from the incident is "residing in 175 railroad cars, parked on an unused railway line in South Dakota."



Lo único que me preocupa es como serán los cambios en la música y algunas cositas "re-recorded"   :?

[ZZERO]

Un momento, ¿"El Retorno de los Muertos Vivientoes" no era una parodia de la de ROMERO?.

[darkpadawan]

Hubiera sido una parodia si se la hubieran tomado a coña. Pero es que semejante despropósito se hizo como una continuación de la trilogía de Romero pero destrozando todas las sugerencias de la saga, y, lo que es peor, pensando con toda la seriedad del mundo que se estaba haciendo arte.

(O sea, de visionado imprescindible  :lol:)

[ghostgoblins64]

Esa peli no está mal por el año que era (1985) , bastante bien la sensación de encierro y desesperación en la funeraria.

A mi me parecen "de terror"  :-P las nuevas versiones tipo El amanecer de los muertos o La Tierra de los muertos , pura sangre y desparramo de partes pero muy aburridas.
Ahora se vienen otras dos nuevas veriones, The Night of the living dead y la re-remake  :-P de The Return of the living dead.

Además de las pinículas, también hay un excelente juego de mesa con el mismo nombre, Zombies, al cual juego mucho y con gran alegría con mi compadre Hobbit...

Hoy se estrena Death Proof de Quentin Tarantino...  si en España se hubieran atrevido hacerlo como Rodriguez y Tarantino lo plantearon las dos películas se deberian poner en sesión continua, con falsos trailer entre ellas, se dice que al menos hay un trailer dirigido por Rob Rombie.
En Planet Terror nos deleitaron con un falso trailer de una película sobre una venganza titulado "Machete"....  el trailer daba grima de pura serie B que rezumaba.

Queda pendiente para una próxima visita al poblacho comunista, que ya tengo ganas de probar ese tan alabado juego :wink:

Volviendo al tema... En España han preferido ponerlas por separado porque se trata de dos directores conocidos y quieren sacar el doble de pasta. Porque hay una producción germanobritánica (toma ya) que consiste en más o menos lo mismo, dos películas gore de serie B puestas juntas, y esta producción no la han separado porque entonces en vez de un fracaso tendrían dos... La doble sesión se llama Desmembrados/Las ovejas asesinas. Ahí queda eso...

[Umbopo]

Vaya...  el caso es que al ir separadas Tarantino ha aprovechado y le ha puesto escenas que no se vieron en los EEUU.
