Dead Men Don't Die

During the first minutes you think that this movie is terrible, and Gould must have gotten himself into something really bad- but from the moment on he becomes a zombie it's certainly one of the funniest flicks in history, IMHO. I would give him a 7 to 8 out of 10, but it's impossible to rate such a film with anything else than "awful" or "excellent". You will hate it, if you expect blood and gore. You will hate it, if you expect realism or a reasonable storyline. You will hate it, if you hate Voodoo/hoodoo-clichés or Eliott Gould stumbling around and uttering silly sounds.

But if you don't hate it, you'll love it. Just as I do.

Of any film I have ever seen this has to have the most problems with appearing boom microphones - they are everywhere. Besides this, Elliot Gould perhaps should have known better, as he is wasted in a feeble, unfunny comedy with little or no plot direction. There is nothing to warrant seeing this film.

This film is so off the wall it has to be a comedy classic. Elliot Gould was fantastic as the Zombie, (remember him in such classics as Capricorn One?). It does remind me of a B-Movie, daft but highly enjoyable.

Can't help wondering if it influenced "Anchorman" (Ted Burgundy. But perhaps not.

The rest of the cast look familiar and perhaps have appeared in other American films/TV productions, but Eliott Gould appears to be the only Famous face, (albeit in heavy white foundation to compliment his "undead" Zombie persona). If you get the opportunity to see this film give it a go, the surreal humour will not disappoint.

Can't help thinking David Cameron would make a good Zombie, hang on I thought he was already!!!)

I never post reviews on the IMDb.

But for reasons best known to my subconscious, the memory of this film slipped into my head on the bus this morning. Wandering online, I was amazed to find this had mustered above 3 stars.

Woeful in every manner, devoid of comedy or redemption and leaving a slightly nihilistic sick taste in the mouth, even as an undemanding teen

I remember my childhood abhorrence for this film. And since it was on Sky Movies weekly for a month back in the 90s I had enough opportunities to hate it.

I think a comment from my father best sums up this mess.

'Dear God, what is wrong with Elliot Gould? Things can't be that bad?'

Ugh.

I worked on this film as an extra. Like the other reviewer, I worked long hours and was used a lot in the filming. While I am in the movie, most of my long hours ended up on the cutting room floor. If you can stand to watch this movie, I'll be in the news room scene - one minute in a suit and the next second in a white shirt. Same scene, but differently dressed. I only appear in the news room.

Like the other reviewer I had hoped this would be a cool movie to watch and I tell my friends I was in a particular scene. I too was horrified by just how bad this movie is. The only good thing that came out of this experience was I met a girl (a extra too - a red head in the news room scene typing) that I dated for quite sometime.

-5 (negative) Stars from me.
