I have to say Student Bodies and Scary Movie 3....or ?

Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Terror is also very funny.Damn copyright laws!LOL

Shaun of the Dead is also a great one.

Scary Movie 1,2,3
Shaun Of The Dead
Ghostbusters

Shaun of the Dead

rotld 2 and shaun of the dead

Return of the Living Dead Part 2?

Surely not - this was by far the weakest entry in the Dead series and its knockoffs.

ROTLD was marvellous, and Part 3 was even better!

wrong

What about?

Return of the living dead was good, but part 2 was better.

and part 3.... was awful

I agree 100%

...
 

I agree that the sequel was better than the original, but I didn't even know there was a third one made.

Do yourself a favor and dont watch it lol..

ITS BAAAAAD, i mean super bad

i'm shocked that people thought return of the living dead 2 was better than the origional ..

not gonna argue about it .. just shocked ..

...
 

I liked the characters better.

oh man, the Clu Ghallager character was priceless ... all 3 old guys were great in the 1st.

the kids werent so hot i admit ..

not to mention .. that inane perception of 'punks'
like that crowd would hang together :P

I just came across this by accident.

and I'm still not sure whether I liked trash or hated her. She's easily one of the dumbest characters ever, that's for sure.

Wait now I remember seeing that movie. I thought it was pretty good. Not as good as the first two, but it was a totally different movie.

I remember thinking it was going to be horrible and being pleasantly surprised. It was really different than most zombie movies.

Re: Re: Re: ...
 

Beyond Reanimator kinda took the same path as ROTLD 3...but Beyond Reanimator was a lot better executed despite the fact that BR was filmed in Spain..

Part 3 wasn't even funny. If it had some humor in it, I would have thought it was better. I felt bad for that dude's girlfriends. It was depressing.

I dont think its meant to be funny..Its just a bad movie like "Plan 9 From Outher Space"...but both have its funny moments...but they are bad and boring too....:)

WHAT ?? are you kidding me ?
have you seen it ?

the scene where they drop a guy off in the middle of nowhere in scuba gear ?
the car chase where they are going so slow they get out and chase by foot ?
the boardroom too small for the table in it ?

it was a comedy .. intentional comedy .. and pretty funny.

one sad note .. the guy actually died in the helecopter crash in the film.

Hmm didnt know that.....What i meant ....it was not meant to be a parody..maybe a comedy..:confused:

Whoa, hold it there crazy people.

While we all have our movie favourites, the original Return of the Living Dead crackled with dry (and slapstick) humour, outrageous nods to Romero's Dead series (take note on how NOT to come across a smug know-all git, Mr. Craven), some splendid latex gore (check out 'Tarman'... "MORE brains!"), memorable characters (Thom Matthews, Clu Gulager, James Karen & Linnea Quigley in particular) and dedicated, lively writing and direction from the excellent Dan O' Bannon.

Compare this to the lacklustre and bland 90 minutes of Ken Wiederhorn's Part 2, featuring - horror of horrors - a young mouthy blond kid as the main protagonist, a lot of running about and falling over outside (eliminating the claustrophobic atmosphere of the original and Romero's movies), and some shockingly bad attempts at gore effects (nifty 'half-zombie' scene excepted) such as the cruddy bits-of-liver-hanging-out-of-the-mouths attempts to convey zombie cannibalism and those ghastly animated blue electricity bolts.

ROTLD is a punk rock gorefest with plenty of quality splatter and nudity - Part 2 is simply... well, a shit movie - as a sequel or a standalone zombie effort. Instead, watch Wiederhorn's eerie Shock Waves or nasty Eyes of a Stranger.

Part 3 criticised for not being funny? It's a fucking masterpiece tragic love story with some fantastic rubbery gore (USA viewers note; lots of this was cut in your country - surprisingly released uncut in the UK) - why downbeat themes and endings are seen as a turnoff to some people is a mystery... total misunderstanding of horror films from the word go, perhaps ?

Wait, so two movies can be a parody but the Third has to be Serious?..... thats retarded

Im all about The Frighteners

we're getting away from horror parodies and confusing them with horror comedies

Well i know why your called the "Extremist," now.

This might be a dumb question. But whats the different bewteen a comedy and a paraody? Is their serious parodies???

In parodies they make funn of other films/scenes.....but i guess its under the genre comedy or :confused:

Apart from some lame in-jokes (like the woeful "Michael Jackson" zombie), ROTLD Part 2, however hard it tried, wasn't so much a horror parody - and certainly not of the Romero films like the first instalment - as it was a daft "party" zombie movie.

More farce and comedy than cute tribute to the monumental Dead series like Part 1.

As far as the third instalment being "retardedly" serious... this was a masterstroke - Brian Yuzna turned Wiederhorn's tiresome effort on its head with a suprisingly straight approach to a doomed zombie love story... complete with some awesome spine-ripping, skin-puncturing gore to boot!

If this film doesn't sit well because the Return of the Living Dead series is supposed to be all about parody, then that's fair enough - but I find the evolution of Part 3 from the ashes of the second movie one of the best horror experiences of modern times.

a horror comedy is just that .. a movie blending horror with comedy..

a parody is a comedic version of something serious ..

The second ROTLD is really shit, the first and third one are way better. My favorites would be Re-aminator, Return of the Living Dead, and Reposessed.
