grande film splatter , con moltissime scene esilaranti, prima fra tutte la
scena del prete ninja!!!!
Due domande:
1) C'e' l'audio originale?
2) E' la versione integrale?
Circola infatti almeno una edizione ridotta, quella americana
(rititolata "Dead Alive" in luogo dell'originale "Brain Dead"). Ti posto
qui i raffronti...
Originally released in unrated 97-minutes long version, later cut down
to 85-minutes
to ensure a R-rating. Both versions are available on video.
The Japanese laserdisc version is 104 min. long. Additional footage
contains
significant character development and gore.
Hong Kong release is 103 minutes long.
UK version is the complete original version which left British film
critics stunned as the censors let it through uncut. Differences between
British Braindead (uncut) and the unrated American Dead Alive include:
Braindead opens with a closeup of the New Zealand flag, which then
changes to the Queen riding accross a courtyard, finishing with a close
up her on horseback. God Save The Queen is playing in the background.
The opening sequence in Sumatra that begins Dead Alive follows.
At the mother's funeral, uncle Les is seen walking down the church isle
and sits down behind Paquita. A conversation in which Les tries to hit
on Paquita follows, which is unsuccessful. Piquita then stands up and
sits away from Les.
After Lionel agrees to let Les have the money and the house, we see the
music for the party get turned on and Void breaking free from his bonds.
In Braindead a party guest lets Void out of the basement, and for his
trouble gets headbutted.
During the party Void enters the living room and attacks a guest. Lionel
intervenes by hitting Void around the head with a Jack Daniels bottle
and then pours the contents down Voids throat.
After the Zombies have been let out of the basement, there is a short
sequence where a guest with glasses is chased around a room by 2 zombies
before he is finally caught and bitten. (In Dead Alive you can see the
very end of this sequence just before the camera switches to Paquita
stabbing a bag of tomatoes in the airing cupboard.)
After Lionel has bitten through the intestine and falls onto a zomies
head, in Dead Alive we move onto Les killing zombie by "rolling" it to
death in a clothes press. In Braindead Lionel is confronted by the vicar
& nurse zombies who impail each other on a pitch fork and continue to
have sex.
In Braindead there is approximately 16 seconds of extra gore in the
lawnmower sequence where we see Lionel hack up numerous zombies, see the
demise of the vicar and the nurse (whilst still in the middle of making
love) and see Lional kicking body parts towards Paquita to be put into
the food mixer.
Braindead also contains the following scene missing from both versions
of Dead Alive:
Just before Lionel makes his entrance with the lawnmower, Paquita and
friend (the one with glasses) are attacked by Voids legs (cut off in the
bathroom scene) and a horde of zombies. Paquita and the girl grab a leg
each and rip them apart. They then use these limbs to attack any zombie
that comes near them.
In the original New Zealand release when the zombie baby first apears it
attacks Lionel but is unsuccesful as its umbilical cord gets caught up
on a nail. This scene is not present in the unrated american version.
The Australian version is also titled 'Braindead', and like the British
version, is complete and uncut. The shorter running time for the
Australian version, as listed in the IMDB, is due to technical factors
based on the transference of film to video. The time of 100 minutes
refers to the video version. The Australian cinema version ran for 104
minutes.
