When he awakes, the stolen money has disappeared. Figuring one of the mourners in attendance ripped him off, the thief tracks each of them down to peculiar locations populated by freaks and misfits. I Died is well beyond just a scene by scene adaptation of Wood Jr.'s screenplay. What he lacked in skill he more than made up for in uncontrollable enthusiasm. The film itself has no dialogue so the classic Wood Jr. use of stock footage and sound is edited in without any real rhyme or reason.
Night hilariously turns to daylight mid-scene.
The soundtrack jumps erratically from pulsing Latino beats to disorderly rock 'n roll. Seasoned actors Tipi Hedren, Ron Perlman, Andrew McCarthy, Christini Ricci and John Ritter purposely ham it up as if they were members of Wood Jr.'s re-occurring troupe playing dead very badly, overacting in dramatic scenes and exaggerating their movements. On the downside, this is afterall an Ed Wood Jr. plotline. Knowing good old Ed Wood Jr., he's probably laughing his ass off right about now at the bizarre twist of fate. Canada's Top Movies 1.
