return of the living dead (1985)

[kakihara]

i just got this one, havent seen it since the late 80s. wow! its a fun movie, its very troma like. they dont make em like this anymore. it scared me as a kid, espescially the tar-man thing that crawled out of the barrel. look at that thing! thats the stuff of nightmares! i was always afraid that thing was hiding in my grandma's basement. i think they should make a movie with just a couple of those things running loose.  some of the characters crack me up, like suicide. thats the tough guy with a chain through his nose. hes like f this, f that, f you! in one scene hes standing there whining how nobody understands him, while his girl  (linnea quigley) dances around naked.  it kind of sucks the way it ends, it seems like the ran out of ideas or budget.

I love Return of the living dead. A great B movie zomibe flick.

This weekend I'm going to meet MIGUEL NUNEZ (Spider from Return of the living dead)

The most ironic thing is that for such a fun movie, it has the 'worst' zombies I can think of. You can't stop them! You cut them up and the pieces come after you, you burn them and they get in the soil and make more zombies.

How would you stop a ROLD zombie?

This one is in my top 5 of all time favs.

The second movie provides a lame weakness (electricity kills them).  I prefer the third movie - ice guns!  That really makes the most sense.  That or extremely high caliber machine guns.  Use a BMG and you could probably cut them into pieces, or at least ruin enough flesh so they couldn't move.

Oh yeah, and ROTLD is a great film.  One of the best 80s movies!

The soundtrack and movie is one of the reasons I got into punk......Also hoping to met a girl like Trash

Are you kidding? I love the ending.
"Apparently, they've got some sort of contingency plan to deal with it."

[venomx]

I agree with you Andy, that ending was a great idea.

I first saw this at a drive-in on Lonf Island in the 80's-without sound! we were on a hill next to the drive in drinking Johnny Walker Red and Jim Beam-me  and my brother Glenn. A couple of days later we went to a movie theater outside of Shirley (LI) and watched it drinking Jim Beam we smuggled in....! GREAT FILM!!!! I was really into punk at the time-this movie was perfect!!! The first punk-horror film!!!

Agreed, there was only one way to end this film and breaking out the nukes was the answer.

ROTLD is easily one of my favorite movies of all time. Highly quotable as well.

Am I the only one who feel James Karen deserves an award for his performance in this film?
