Funday Sunday: "I Kick Ass For The Lord"

Now... two weeks ago I gave you that clip of a zombie baby from Peter Jackson's movie "Brain Dead". You have probably figured that it is one of my all time favorite movies. It was a bit of a surprise to me that it seemed to go down pretty well with most of you, so I'm bringing back that same movie for this weeks Funday Sunday.

One of the reasons is that this is really the clip I wanted to show, but decided against... because it is kind of violent and bloody. Then Knight posted this as part of a comment in that thread:

Knight: "No blood? What kind of zombie movie is this?"

Well, here's some blood and gore for you. Still not anywhere near what is represented throughout the film, but at least a decent chunk of violent, gory fun.

The way I like horror comedies to be made is to do them like a Tom & Jerry cartoon. You know, over the top and non-stop hilarious action. Why aren't there more films made in the "cartoon" fashion. Sam Raimi did the "Evil Dead" films, which are really the only one's that truly match this one.

No, watch that clip, and enjoy some serious zombie ass-kickin'!

Funday Sunday: "Zombie Baby"

Oh, dear!

I couldn't withhold this one any longer. This scene is from one of the funniest movies ever made... no question about that! And, which movie is that?, you ask. Well, the answer to that would be Brain Dead, aka Dead Alive, which really was the break through movie for Peter Jackson. Yes! That same Peter Jackson who brought us the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, and the remake of King Kong.

For those unfortunate enough to have missed this brilliant and completely whacked movie, I will just give you a little introduction to the scene. I won't go into great detail (watch the whole film if you haven't seen it. I guarantee you will laugh your socks right off!).

Lionel, our main character, has found a baby zombie. Yes, you read that right - that's a zombified infant child. Now, Lionel is a nice guy, you know... so of course he decides to take the child down to the park in a stroller. This is (as if you couldn't have guessed) a recipe for disaster... especially when you know jack-all about taking care of babies.

Now... this is not a scene for the faint of heart. I don't know why I offer a warning here - but some people seem to have a problem with these kinds of things... blood and gore (which however is not present in this clip), and violent behaviour towards cute little (zombie) toddlers.

Darn it! Take it for what it is... pure entertainment! Enjoy!

Oh... only three more days to go on the Picture Fiction Challenge. Wednesday is when you should post your contribution... but you do have until the 23rd to make the deadline if you're short on time. Don't know what this is? Need to refresh you memory? Take a look right HERE.

Until next time...
