Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The film was written before Dawn of the Dead (1978) was released in Italy, as an action/adventure thriller with no link to George A. Romero's films. The opening and closing scenes (which take place in New York) were added to the script later when the producers wanted to cash-in on the success of Dawn. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: The scene near the beginning,where the cop shoots the big bald zombie,and it falls overboard. You see the zombie fall into the water, and the camera pans across the water towards NY harbor. If you look very carefully in the bottom right hand corner of the screen, after the zombie falls underwater, immediately before the camera moves, you can see his head pop up as if waiting to get back on the boat. more

Cracking Fulci effort!, 29 March 1999
Author: Robbie-27 from Wales

Surely the best film Fulci has ever directed, involving several zombies on a Caribbean island. As with all Fulci films, the movie suffers from rather bad dubbing, but all Fulci films seem to have this problem, so it`s almost a hallmark for the director. The gore is graphic & over-the-top, but when you`ve seen a zombie deep in the ocean fighting with a shark, nothing is over the top. A few memorable scenes, (the eye scene has to be the highlight) but this is movie is all about escapism. If you can handle the explicit gore (and if you`re watching Fulci, you better had!) this is a definite `lads night in movie`. Just don`t try to find too many subtexts in it`s, ahem, plot. (7 out of 10)
