brain dead or dead alive???

[tarcher80]

this may sound like a stupid question.... i've loved "dead alive" for years and have never heard it referred to as "brain dead" until recenlty. what's up w/ the double title?

[_____V_____]

BrainDead is the original title of the movie when it was released. This movie is actually known by two names. In the UK it is named "Braindead", in the US it is named "Dead-Alive". When it was scheduled to be released in the US, the title was dubbed Dead Alive.

There is a rumour that the film adaptation of The Madness of King George III was changed to The Madness of King George because American audiences would snub it having missed parts I and II...

:D :D :D

You get this a lot with american films. Sometimes it's that long between the release dates, it's no surprise they change the title. Or maybe the americans just want to be different. I've seen it with leprechaun films, instead of leprechaun 4, they'll give it a sub-title.

Hey it's worst in Spain, here Braindead it's known as "tu madre se ha comido a mi perro" = "Your mam has eaten my dog", very original but sucks
