Building a Better Zombi (2004) *** 1/2 (out of 4) Extremely entertaining documentary that takes a look at the filming and history of Lucio Fulci's groundbreaking 1979 film Zombie aka Zombi 2. We get interviews with producer Fabrizio de Angelis, writer Dardano Sacchetti, cinematographer Sergio Salvati, special effects supervisor Giannetto de Rossi, make-up artists Maurizio Trani and Rosario Presopino, composer Fabio Frizzi, special effects artist Gina e Rossi, actor Al Cliver and actor Ottaviano Dell'acqua who plays the wormed faced zombie, which was on the cover of the American release. All these folks tell stories about the production of the film and the history behind it and there really isn't too much that isn't talked about. We learn how the special effects were created and this includes the infamous eye/splinter scene as well as the famous throat ripping. The budget for the film is also discussed as is its box office returns. The title refers to the controversy about whether or not this was a cash-in, a remake or a rip off of Romero's Dawn of the Dead, which was released in Italy as Zombi. Everyone here claims that the Fulci film was better but at times they are pretty harsh in their comments and sometimes they come off quite bitter. The most interesting thing was the story Sacchetti tells about how Italian movies were sold to people before they was even a screenplay. helpful•4 1 Michael_ElliottJun 16, 2008 Zombi 2 Directed by Lucio Fulci Written by Elisa Briganti[1] Dardano Sacchetti[2] Produced by Ugo Tucci Fabrizio De Angelis[1] Starring Tisa Farrow Ian McCulloch Richard Johnson Al Cliver Auretta Gay Stefania D'Amario Olga Karlatos Cinematography Sergio Salvati[1] Edited by Vincenzo Tomassi[1] Music by Fabio Frizzi Giorgio Tucci[1] Production company Variety Film Distributed by Variety Distribution Release date 25 August 1979 (Italy) Running time 91 minutes[1] Country Italy Language Italian Budget ₤410 million Box office ₤3 billion $1,925,000[3] Zombi 2 (initially released in the United States as Zombie[4]) is a 1979 Italian zombie film directed by Lucio Fulci. It was adapted from an original screenplay by Dardano Sacchetti to serve as a sequel to George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead (1978), which was released in Italy with the title Zombi. It stars Tisa Farrow, Ian McCulloch, and Richard Johnson, and features a score by frequent Fulci collaborator Fabio Frizzi. Frizzi's score has been released independently of the film, and he has performed it live on tour. The film tells the story of a Caribbean island cursed by voodoo whose dead residents rise as zombies to attack the living. A scientist's daughter journeys to the island after her father's boat turns up abandoned in New York City. Intended by its writer as a return to "classic zombie tales", Zombi 2 was filmed in Italy, with further location shooting in New York and Santo Domingo. Produced on a small budget of 410 million Italian lira, the film earned several times its production costs back in international gross. It attracted controversy upon its release in the United Kingdom, where it screened as Zombie Flesh Eaters,[4] where it became listed as a "video nasty". However, in the subsequent years the film received a greater appreciation from critics, and has gained a cult following.[5] Cast Tisa Farrow as Anne Bolt ('Anne Bowles' in the English dub) Ian McCulloch as Peter West Richard Johnson as Dr. Menard Al Cliver as Brian Curt ('Brian Hull' in the English dub) Auretta Gay [it] as Susan Barrett Stefania D'Amario [it] as Nurse Clara Olga Karlatos as Paola Menard Uncredited actors in the film include Dakar as Menard’s assistant Lucas,[4] Ugo Bologna as Anne’s father,[4] Franco Fantasia as Father Matthias,[4] Arthur Haggerty as the fat boat zombie, and Ramón Bravo as the underwater zombie.[7] Director Lucio Fulci makes a cameo appearance as Peter’s news editor.[4] ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3R1pdgtJoc

Real Wheels, also known as There Goes A..., is a series of children's educational videos for ages 3–8 that features a specified vehicle and the different jobs that it has along with real people who work the job which requires the vehicle. Episodes like There Goes a Garbage Truck, There Goes the Mail and There Goes a Rescue Vehicle, were released as a part of the Dream Big series. Each episode focuses on different modes of transport, though one episode is reserved for Santa Claus and another for roller coasters. Each is live-action, starring Dave Hood who is sometimes accompanied by Becky Borg. Dave Hood does not appear in There Goes a Farm Truck, There Goes a Tractor and There Goes a Dump Truck, in which he is replaced by David Sidoni. Plot The series of videos revolved around Dave (sometimes with Becky) in jobs that focus around the vehicles being featured. Dave and Becky always reminded kids that they did not have the respective jobs, but the real workers had agreed for them to pretend for the day so that the viewers could learn about the vehicles and a little more about the jobs they serve. While the most part of the videos focused on showing how the vehicles worked and what they can do, some episodes also featured a trope where Dave would predictably get into trouble (example: accidentally knocking down a building in There Goes a Bulldozer) and deliver his catchphrase, "I shouldn't have done that!". Becky would sometimes get into the same trouble caused by Dave. In these videos, the hosts talked about how the vehicles worked, the history of the vehicle featured and talked to real people who worked in their fields. At the end of each episode, Dave and/or Becky would encourage the viewers to visit their local library or the place based on the theme's episode to learn more about the vehicles. On other episodes, at the end, Dave and Becky would also remind the viewers about safety (such as "don't play on the railroad tracks" in There Goes a Train and "don't play with fire" in There Goes a Fire Truck). Other times, the people who worked in the fields of the vehicles would discuss safety to the viewers as well. Some episodes are hosted by Dave Sidoni. Locations The majority of the episodes were filmed on location in southern California at locations such as Union Station, Ontario International Airport, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Six Flags Magic Mountain, the Metro Headquarters Building, the Getty Museum and Camp Pendleton. They were occasionally filmed at places like the Kennedy Space Center, the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum and the USS Kitty Hawk. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhLHI71fCdk
