That'd be great, if only for adding to my own collection.

In terms of offending people, Ireland has quite a colourful/violent past in relation to peoples attitude towards religion. Whereas there is a very rich history of radical liberal forward thinking there are also a lot of 'nut-jobs'.

One badly placed promotional poster and I'd have every devout RC who can hold a placard standing outside on movie night. Actually, come to think of it, what is it they say about all publicity?

The most complete version is the 2004 Uncut restoration version-
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Devils-Speci...8781054&sr=1-4

sadly it's currently unavailable at amazon and out of print :(

You have to take risks with events like this if you want to draw in the crowds. I'm sure it's available if you have a quick look elsewhere ;)

This info is gratefully received! I could really launch the most complete version with a lot of fanfair in the local press...

I finally watched Evil Dead II yesterday. I thought it was a really good movie, although quite different from the original. I was a little confused though. Was the film a comdeic remake of the original or an actual sequel? I will say that I thought the original was better, but again the two films were quite different. The first being a dark film with little to no humor and this film being dark, but far more comedic.

It was a sequel-at the time I believe Sam Raimi lost the rights to the original film so those flashback scenes at the beginning had to be re-filmed he couldn't use actual scenes from the original.

Why didn't Ash seem to remember anything that happened in the first one? Or was it simply a continuation of the first one?

It was supposed to be continuing straight after the first film. In those flashback scenes things were different than in the first film as he re-filmed them. I don't know why Raimi made it seem like it was just Ash and his fiancee in the cabin and left out the fact there were other people there too.

I always thought that they were given a wad of cash to remake the first on the strength of the ability demonstrated in the first part. Is it not roughly a re-telling?

I asked the same question on here a couple of years ago but people told me what I said in the previous posts. I assumed the people on here who told me would have looked into this already and not have relied on guesswork.
