The japanese zombie movie "Wild Zero" is quite enjoyable ... pretty much as quirky as it gets.

Why will they laugh at you?
Army of Darkness== Evil Dead 3, check the aka list at imdb
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106308/
Or if you are suggesting that people will laugh at you because of the film, then I may have to come over there and put the smack down!

Whilst Sam Raimi's word should be final, I don't think anyone would laugh at you for calling it Evil Dead 3 as iit is clearly a sequel to Evil Dead 2 (which is not a Sequel to Evil Dead 1), and Sam Raimi' does not have final say as to what it gets called when released in different locations, that is down to the distributors in the different locations (as can be seen in the AKA list at imdb).jvd said:
Still if Sam want's to call it Army of Darkness then that is fine by me

Shaun of the Dead, not only one of the funniest movies I've seen last year but also one of the best zombie movies I've seen of all time.
I really enjoyed it and highly recomend it.

A. They Live is one of the most entertaining movies I've seen. CRIPPLE FIGHT!
B. George A. Romero is coming out with the fourth ____ of the Dead movie this year, Land of the Dead. The plot makes the rest of his movies look normal--Pittsburgh is the last remaining human city (or at least that's what it was early on in production, because everything Romero does takes place in Pittsburgh), surrounded by giant walls and protected by a huge tank. Crazy guy takes over tank, good guy has to regain control while the zombies outside are "evolving." Apparently, George A. Romero is on crack.
C. IMDB just says that Cannibal Holocaust has no rating (assuming for the director's cut) but the original had a rating of X back in 1984. There are no "banned" movies in the US, just those that don't get distributed.

I gotta agree, that movie slayed me the first time I saw it and I still smile anytime it's on and I happen to catch it.The Baron said:

Re: Zombie Movies
It was originally released under the name "Dead Alive" here in the states and had a slipcover that suggested NOTHING of the over the top goriness inside. I'm thinking they re-released it under its native name after that "Hobbits Big Day Out" movie? "I kick ass for the Lord!"
Also not mentioned is Return of the Living Dead, a mid-80's direct followup to the "Night of the Living Dead". It's not totally bad, decent enough, but the sequels to that one aren't worth mentioning.
Didn't realize until this post how few true Zombie movies there are, and of those few, nearly all tend to play on the ones that came before it. Shaun of the Dead requires a good working knowledge of the "___ of the Dead" series, "Evil Dead" series, and even 28 Days Later to catch all of the "inside" jokes in the movie. Shaun even uses Romero's "metorite" origin idea over of the "28 Days" and "Brain Deads" monkey virus origin idea.
Here's a stretch; Maximum Overdrive, is pretty much a "Zombie Truck" movie. Its based off the SK short story Trucks, that he got the idea for after watching some of the previously mentioned Zombie Movies. Instead of humans roaming around for brains, you have Trucks terrorizing people for gasoline. The Dawn of the Dead remake even uses the same "ending" idea as Maximum Overdrive had. "I'm sailing away, setting a course for the open sea.."
And the RE series, while full of eye-candy, flip tricks, and Milla Jovovich, sucks horribly as a Zombie Movie. All action, no Horror. 'Tis a shame.

28 days later was really great. Best zombie movie ever perhaps, zombies(human) were so frieghtening, mainly bec'se they were so fast. RE pales in comparison. Those London shots with empty roads were fantastic. How did they do it? Were those special effects, or did they shoot at night?
Deepak said:
The DVD had a feature where they explained how they did it.
It was a mix of dawn-shots, closed roads and photo imaging.
Basically, the close shots were obtained through shooting very early in the morning (and it shows in the movie), closing roads when it wouldn't disrupt London too much, and the backgrounds, or the A1 (is it the A1? can't remember, u know, the highway when they go to Manchester) were just modified later.
Like, for the shot in Piccadilly Circus (where he sees all the pictures and messages from families looking for people), or when he's walking on a bridge (cant remember which one it is, i think it's London Bridge) they closed the proximity and then photoshopped the rest, cause cars were still passing by in the streets in the background.
