Braindead = Dead Alive?

[–]rammsdell 42 points43 points ago

yes

[–]danrennt98 20 points21 points ago

I thought she had a prolapsed mouth for a second.

[–]MILKYCAT 9 points10 points ago

i like how it gives away the entire movie in the description.

[–]Tetha 16 points17 points ago

If you think those lines tell you everything about the movie, you are going to miss out one of the most hilarious gore movies I have ever seen so far.

[–]diehardcubforever 23 points24 points ago

I kick ass for the Lord!!!!

[–]tomtick[!] 17 points18 points ago

Braindead was the original name. America changed it to Dead Alive.

[–]Jisaw 3 points4 points ago

It's a more original name than POPS!

About a hundred liters. gallons.

[–]TheGreatTesticle 3 points4 points ago

There's a part where it's being pumped out at almost 20 liters per second.

Edit: logged into wrong account... BALLS!

[–]big_wang_theory 2 points3 points ago

In your case, just one magnificent ball.

[–]_Jake93 29 points30 points ago

Peter Jackson's best at least.

[–]midnightsbane04 1 point2 points ago

So.. You think Braindead is better than any of the LotR movies?

[–]sp0oky 71 points72 points ago

LOTR could use a zombie lawn mower scene.

[–]midnightsbane04 19 points20 points ago

What movie couldn't?!

[–]NolanRoss 16 points17 points ago

Adding a zombie lawnmower scene to a movie is like adding a trampoline to a sport. It's gonna make it better.

[–]FUCK_WIZARD 12 points13 points ago

Too bad Slam Ball never caught on :(

[–]fazzah 0 points1 point ago

This can not be unseen.

[–]Beanchilla 4 points5 points ago

He should go back to horror with this budget... OH SHIT my mouth is watering now.

[–]mrbooze 11 points12 points ago

I'll always have a soft spot for The Frighteners.

[–]mrdengue 4 points5 points ago

Plzzzz, You can"t compare them! Is like comparing Sam Raimi"s Spider Man vs The Evil Dead

[–]_Jake93 4 points5 points ago

Tremendously.

[–]midnightsbane04 0 points1 point ago

Well shit. More power to you then, mate. Cheers.

[–]Duck_Duck_Gonorrhea 11 points12 points ago

Party's ovah.

[–]fooosh 5 points6 points ago

[–]rammsdell 5 points6 points ago

I love the lawn mower scene. That needs to happen more often in newer movies.

[–]Dubwizer 57 points58 points ago

Stay back boy.. This calls for divine intervention.

[–]MillaMia 66 points67 points ago

I kick ass for the lord!

[–]fooosh 15 points16 points ago

[–]fazzah 4 points5 points ago

The best part of the movie. Too bad, there wasn't much more action from the priest, would make a badass support hero.

[–]newbiephag 242 points243 points ago

Thats damn good editing. Today's Hollywood would have CGed that scene. I miss real special effects.

[–]Dasklown 86 points87 points ago

Peter Jackson!!!

[–]HerpingtonDerpDerp 64 points65 points ago

I remember when I first heard that they were letting him do the LOTR trilogy.

"You mean the guy that did Meet The Feebles?!"

[–]Owlettt 50 points51 points ago

Come on dude, directing a scene in which a cat is getting butt-fucked by a whale is about the best resume I could possibly imagine for directing the hobbit-Gandalf reunion scene at the end of Return of the King.

Gandalf and four hobbits in bed together. Jumping around and giggling. In slo-mo.

[–]postmodgirl 7 points8 points ago

god I love the shit outa that shit.

[–]mitchy94 3 points4 points ago

This this is beautiful

[–]pineyfusion 2 points3 points ago

I can't decide which is better -- Legolas' "Mmmm. Mmmmm" or Aragon's "YeaaahhhHHHhh?"

[–]ultralame 12 points13 points ago

I will never get the image of that fly spoon-feeding himself shit out of my head.

[–]fooosh 9 points10 points ago

Relevant to this movie (and your comment)

[–]IrrelevantLeprechaun 9 points10 points ago

A cat....getting butt-fucked by a whale....? I have a morbid curiosity to find this...

[–]aedmark 1 point2 points ago

It's fairly easy to find

[–]Kellogs53 4 points5 points ago

Bletch is a walrus actually.

[–]cosmicr 4 points5 points ago

I all seriousness, with his previous credentials, how did he manage to get the job with such a huge budget?

[–]MrMelty 2 points3 points ago

That honestly made me chuckle.

[–]jasper_grunion 2 points3 points ago

Dead Alive - great movie. It's like Dawn of the Dead meets Moulin Rouge.

[–]fooosh 7 points8 points ago

[–]AdmiralSkippy 9 points10 points ago

I love real special effects. You look at something like Hellboy where almost everyone was in a costume and the settings were real sets instead of total green screen, and it looks awesome!

[–]megatom0 2 points3 points ago

I believe it is just a talented director. The Lord of the Rings films are composed of a great deal of practical effects with miniatures mixed with CGI. When you see shots like Helms Deep those shots are about 40% miniature, 30% CGI and 30% real location. It is a complicated shot, but it really blends well. Also considering that those effects are basically from 2000, it is amazing how well those shots hold up to even modern movies. It wasn't until he went overboard with it by having Legolas do backflips off of aliphants did he really lose the realism.

[–]PFCDoofles 3 points4 points ago

The shot of the fangorn river dam bursting and flooding Isengard always bothers me. You can built an epic 1/20 scale miniature of a scene, but real water and fire are always going to be 1:1.

It's hard to see in 360p, but Here, at 4:15 and then again at 4:30, the leading edge of the water gives away the scale of the miniature set really clearly. When compared to the much better CG moments interspersed within the video, you can really see the failings of miniature sets.

I think that the decision to use such a small scale model is what killed that scene: when you look at the behind the scenes documentary for the crash of the Nebuchadnezzar in the Matrix Revolutions, the ship and the dock are much larger, so the problem of real fire is much harder to spot. Isengard looks to be about the same scale as a sand castle.

Plus I suspect that pyrotechnics is a more advanced film science than flooding, as blowing up miniatures is a time honored film tradition, but drowning them is much less common.

[–]Beasty_Glanglemutton 4 points5 points ago

Yeah, films back then were a real hand-to-mouth existence.

[–]Satafly 0 points1 point ago

Good CGI kicks this in the ass dude, don't let nostalgia cloud your judgement.

That said CGI is usually done badly but there are exceptions (Avatar, Prometheus etc...)

[–]megatom0 2 points3 points ago

Lucas gave CGI a bad name. Really I blame him solely. I remember when Jurassic Park came out and CGI was the shit, everyone was excited about it and how it blew the limitations off of filmmaking. Then fast forward 8 years later to when Attack of the Clones came out and literally the whole thing is draped in shitty CGI, just makes Star Wars look like a shitty video game. That is what made people not like CGI. Then we had things like the Matrix Reloaded that kept that tradition up. Sure there were plenty of movies that had bad CGI but people expect bad effects from some films. I mean even with practical effects most of them from the 70's and 80's don't look that great. But when a big movie has horrible effects and it is CGI everyone blames the mechanic, when really it is the horrible director.

[–]Semire 30 points31 points ago

In case anyone was confused, Dead Alive and Braindead are the same movie. Dead Alive was the name used for the North American release. It was Braindead in the U.K. and New Zealand.

[–]lildansonman 13 points14 points ago

Correct there was a American movie called "braindead" already with Bill Pullman in it. So they changed it for legal reasons I believe.

[–]fooosh 8 points9 points ago

[–]andy_panzer 2 points3 points ago

Most (all?) versions of Dead Alive are actually cut versions of Braindead. Get Braindead over Dead Alive. Infact, get the original Australian or NZ versions of the film as they are the longest.

[–]giantstonegoat 24 points25 points ago

I love that film, it has everything, heads in blenders, lawnmowers, evil babies and narcissistic guts.

[–]SpencerJamesK 7 points8 points ago

What are narcissistic guts?

[–]wordwar 33 points34 points ago

Pretty much what you'd expect. Intestines with a hefty ego.

[–]fooosh 6 points7 points ago

[–]BestTastingFish 3 points4 points ago

[–]_Particle_Man_ 2 points3 points ago

[–]fooosh 2 points3 points ago

[–]busway27 6 points7 points ago

It's that kind of shit that makes Dead Alive one of the best movies ever made.

[–]thebuckmanguy 9 points10 points ago

BRAIN DEAD or DEAD ALIVE. I will be playing this movie at my Halloween party this year. The looks on peoples faces.

[–]fooosh 12 points13 points ago

[–]lildansonman 3 points4 points ago

I showed it to a friend once who actually got dizzy and almost got sick over the last 15 minutes.

[–]thebuckmanguy 6 points7 points ago

i showed it to this chick i was seeing and within' 25 minutes she couldnt watch it anymore and begged me to turn it off. I said "if you blow me ill turn it off" Dead Alive got me head, thank you Peter Jackson you brilliant bastard.

[–]lildansonman 3 points4 points ago

Should've not turned it off till the lawnmower scene, probably could've gotten a Z.J.

[–]thebuckmanguy 5 points6 points ago

the same thing happened to me once with Peter Jackson's BAD TASTE. The girl i was watching it with was like "this is boring, lets fuck" and im like "BITCH THESE ALIENS ARE HARVESTING PEOPLE FOR THEIR INTERGALACTIC FAST FOOD CHAIN DAMNIT!"

[–]Soulcoffr 3 points4 points ago

I read the all caps in Samuel L Jackson's voice.

[–]memefix 7 points8 points ago

Why "seems legit"?

Don't misuse and abuse.

However, it's a great clip from a great movie.

[–]ochtapas 5 points6 points ago

Dead Alive!

[–]energizerrabbit 8 points9 points ago

That looks like Jeremy Clarkson.

[–]sulta 21 points22 points ago

Braindead, one of my favorite Peter Jackson films!

Also, to quote Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw: "Or Dead Alive, if you're American and fat."

[–]Lookmanospaces 5 points6 points ago

Or Canadian.

[–]sulta 4 points5 points ago

Canadian and polite.

[–]VoiceofKane 0 points1 point ago

Canadian here. I call it Braindead, because that's a much less shitty title.

[–]bawlzsauce 3 points4 points ago

Braindead/Dead Alive

[–]lildansonman 0 points1 point ago

My dad rented this movie from our local small town video store when I was like 10 years old saying "this is supposed to be the goriest movie ever made." Changed my life, no other zombie movie compares to the amount of awesomeness this movie has. If I meet somebody who hasn't seen it I make it a point to let them borrow it. Just a great flick all around.

[–]AVeryMadFish 1 point2 points ago

I don't really understand the title but okay.

[–]hausscha 1 point2 points ago

Favorite scene: Divine Intervention, the lack of music on the soundtrack really accentuates the stupidity. Second favorite scene: That Fucking Baby, because that just had to make the list. Third favorite scene: Party Crashers, for the sheer goriness and absurdity.

[–]Nikkibamf 0 points1 point ago
