EVIL DEAD HEAVEN

Bruce the Shark?

No. You're thinking of VINNIE the Shark. Da
boss means Bruce da Moose.

Oh yeah, my bad. What was I thinking.

I eagerly await the video game. I also think
it wise to expand beyond just the cabin.

Stage 3: The Bathroom!

Raimi said that if number 4 ever happened, it
would have to go back to his old-school horror
stuff. I'm down with that. You down with that?

Well, I would not want them to do a sequel unless THEY were into it. I wouldn't want them to feel pressured into doing one just because they felt the fans wouldn't like them. But, it would be cool to have an Evil Dead 4 to look forward to somewhere down the line. As long as the studio lets them keep their original titles (read: MidEvil Dead).

You troll! I didn't know if Raimi spelled it the correct way, or the way I had it. Obviously my way was wrong. You're a freedom FIGHTER!

To quote Bruce at the last A-Kon:
"Will there be an Evil Dead 4? *beat* Yes."
*wild applause. Applause slowly dies down.*
"When monkies fly out of my but."

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
-hahahaha, ha ha...a-ha...hee hee...hummhumm...Hoo-boy!

...Good one, Bruce.

(chanting) Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey we're the Monkies...

'member brisco county junior? i always wathced that show... that is... even up until when it had turned into a scifi with naked peeps from the future.

anyway, i am 17. new to the board, but big fan of CHUD for about half a year now. very very cool place.

now, onto the topic... (sorry about all that muddle above)
i just saw the great trilogy... backwards... but that's beside the point. my question is... what the heck is the deal with the first one? did he die or what? why did he come BACK to the SAME house and listen to the evil recording AGAIN? is he insane? ... okay, yeah... he says "groovy"; that's pretty insane... but my point is i think ED1 was just a prototype. then they saw it, realized they had taken it a little too seriously and made a "sequel" ... because they didn't want to say it was a "remake" it had the same actor for the main character! i think they revised the first movie because the wanted to make it a little more toungue-in-cheek and goofy, plus they had to change the ending to work in army of darkness which they were probably planning ahead of time...

but even in the end of ED2... are the knights at the end from that enemy general guy in Army of Darkness? because the knights are praising him, then suddenly (in the next movie) he's a slave... does anybody know why it's like this?

peace

Yes. I do. Ash never goes "back" to the cabin. Tapert and Raimi signed a deal with distributors that gave them absoltely no rights to their film, so when Evil Dead 2 began production, and Sam wanted to use footage from the first one as a prologue, he found out it would cost less to just reshoot some of the action. Theoretically, as Evil Dead ends, everthing in Evil Dead 2 is prologue until Bruce gets thrown down the road and hits the tree. In Army of Darkness, there was footage shot of the warriors excited about the "hero from the skies", then Arthur changes their minds with, "likely, he's one of Henry's men!", but it was cut for time. So there you go. I had planned at ne time to put together a cut of the film as one continuous epic, using all available footage, but it becomes very obvious that bruce ages from 19 to 36 in the course of an hour and forty minutes.

But, everything's fine, because we all know that up is down, black is white, and I am a pretty little girl. I remember watching the Evil Dead series and seeing the continuity errors, and I thought, "Eh. What the hell. It's Raimi. It's all in good fun." Somethin ya gotta remember, Max: continuity Things like don't us, here bother at CHUD. First off, lemme say, "Hi, Max!" I was thinkin that Raimi just decided to change Ash's arrival, because he thought this would be more interesting. Sometimes movies get all rearranged, changed, or even deleted.

I have had many, many, many, many, many arguements with people about the transition from part 1 to part 2. All you need to know is that the first 15 minutes or so of ED 2 is remake, and the rest is sequel. Simple.

Didn't the original cabin they used in part 1 burn down before part 2 was made? That is what I heard, but I am not sure if it is correct.

Look upon me, for I am the beast

That's ok, Faust. I'm sure someone ELSE will read my post in the morning, and laugh heartily over it.

You know, Cinescape.com has a little blurb from Bruce about ED4, but it says the same thing Nick did. I saw a whole shitload of previews for 'Jack of All Trades' this weekend, and I gotta say it's so fucking cool to see Bruce on the screen again, in any fashion. 'Cleopatra 2525' looks horrible, though.

i see! finally, i know! i can tell people what it's all about then. errors don't bother me much really but sometimes i just need to know why they happened see? cool, well thanks mr. hot animal! that's very nifty!

peace

Here's Evil Dead Heaven ... I've not seen any of the three ED movies yet. As wife and kids take off for their grandmother's house (deep in the dark woods) next month, I intend the rectify that situation.

Jealous? I'm going to see EV1, 2 & 3 for the first time in March!

If there's an Evil Dead 4, does anyone know what version of AOD it would follow? The American or the European?

Both. Ash would have to lead humanity to victory through the barren wastelands of K-Mart. It would rock.

Blofeld, if it makes you feel any better, I haven't seen them either. I'm going to retify my situation as soon as I can find them for rent on DVD.

Lowshot -- I don't feel badly about not having seen the Evil Dead films ... I do, however, live in fear of having my CHUD access priveliges revoked if I don't like the movies upon seeing them.

Perhaps we should both just sit here and say -- Oh, yeah -- B. Campbell is God! Love those films!

That's not a bad idea! I too, live in fear of CHUDlessness, and so I have resolved to find those bastard films and watch them.

Ah, it feels good to know that I am not alone.

I remember when AOD was announced at a Fango Con I was at, I turned to my friends and said, "Yep-and at the end of this one, he's going to be stuck in the future."

I am the man! However, I would have tackled it a different way. I would have had armed guards outside the cave-the only natural formation in the center of a Blade Runner-esque city besiged by Deadites. Atop the cave, an L.E.D. counter ticks off the time remaining until Bruce awakens-as prophesied in the Necronomicon. The guards are future cops-SDTF-Special Deadite Task Force. They have back-holstered shotguns and side-holstered chainsaws, have modeled their fighting tactics on Ash's, and they are waiting for him to wake up so that they can debrief him and he can save them from the Deadites. In hindsight, the little treatment I wrote kind of sounds like Army of Darkness meets Demolition Man-which, of course, hadn't been written yet. I think any sequel would have to get him from the fakee ending to the time-travel one-perhaps via cheesy dream sequence?

And just to add fuel to the fire, Bruce had always said of a director's cut of AOD that there wasn't enough fan interest in it to make it worth Universal's while financially. This is the same argument that he and Sam use to dismiss sequels.

How many of you kids own that special edition DVD? No interest, huh?

It's just a matter of time...

I actually stand with you. I love these films. As I have stated on another thread, they inspired me to make movies. The first film made me say, "Aw, I could do better than that." The second made me say, "Holy Shit! I want to do that!" It was only after I learned about FILM BUDGETS did I grow fond of Evil Dead. The Renaissance clan was right to reshoot key ED scenes for ED2. Evil Dead 2 is much more polished than it's predecessor, the old footage would've stuck out like a sexually aroused, demonic tree limb-I know, I endeavored to edit all three films together, and in so doing, found that the growth of Sam Raimi as a director becomes very apparent-he discovered that he didn't need to hammer home the obvious so much. The first film, when viewed against the other two, looks very amatuerish-although it does have an undenyable energy, and its most stylish shots were ripped-off for years to come in music video. The first film stands as a thrilling first look at a director who has learned a little discipline and become very good at what he does.
