message: "Possibly the goriest movie ever" - I don't know - it may have a greater quantity of blood and guts, but Bad Taste has a higher quality, and is the only film I have ever seen that genuinely made we want to vomit. M-Henry 10:52, 22 Sep 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: That depends on how "goriest" is calculated. Most minutes with blood in the scene: Braindead wins over Bad Taste by a mile. Greatest QUANTITY of blood? Brainded again beats Bad Taste, and most other movies. GROSSEST and GORIEST are two seperate things, I would consider the vomit-eating scene in Bad taste to be one of the grossest scenes on film, but doesn't really qualify as "Gore". I think one of the things that make Brainded catch the lable of "goriest" some of the gory things seen that differ from just about any other movie: The mother having eaten the dog scene, Lionel being "re-born", the entire zombie party scene, including the lawnmower scene, Father McGruder and the nurse making out (and eating their faces), all fall into the "Gore" catagory. To me, the scene where Lionel pulls the dog's carcass out of Vera's mouth was way more repulsive, and had much more of a vomit factor than did the "Vomit eating scene" in Bad Taste. If one goes by the definition put forth at http://www.dictionary.net/gore, then the quantity of blood and guts, which the above user says Braindead has more of, cements Braindead as the gorier of the two movies spoke of. 146.63.253.183 15:40, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

message: 'Those censors who recognised that the film was a cheerful farce, such as those in Australia and Britain, allowed the 104 minute film to be shown in full. In countries where the censors were unable to see beyond the extreme gore the film was initially banned or left unrated before being heavily cut; the US R-Rated version (released as Dead Alive, because of another film with rights to the title Braindead) is only 85 minutes.'
POV, anyone?  Can someone fix this?

message: Having watched the FSK16 release of the film here in Germany, I can confirm that the cuts made are anything but "minor". There's a report here about the cuts made for anyone who speaks German. The DVD itself is usually to be found in bargain bins going for 2 euros.

message: Shouldn't the "ass" in "Father McGruder: I kick ass for the Lord!" be "arse"?
: No, he definetly says "ass". Rzrscm 08:50, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not hearing any "R" sound in what Father McGruder says. It's definately a longer A sound than is used in the word "ass", but it sounds much more like the word "ass" spoken with an accent than the word "arse". Though the word "arse" uses the long A, the letter R should be heard. In what Father McGruder said, it is not. The pronunciation that FMG uses DOES approach being a combination of the two words, which is understandable since one of those words is a derivative of the other, but it still sounds much more like "ass" than it does "arse".146.63.253.183 20:31, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  In New Zealand we speak in a non-rhotic accent: we don't pronounce "r" unless it is followed by a vowel. Typically the "r" just acts to lengthen the vowel. So "car" sounds like "kah" and "arse" sounds like "ah-ss". If there's a clip of this qoute on youtube or something I could check if it actually sounds like how we say it in NZ...  140.184.21.115 (talk) 16:59, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

message: This edit-block bot disallows 'no-one will love you as much as your mother'. Expansion (and correction of errors) in the grotesque storyline are accepted, but the above triggers an automatic vsndalism block. Does anyone know why this particular mild phrase is blocked? thanks!

replies: text: Problem solved - I put 'the one who bore you' rather than 'mother' as the latter is construed as auto-vandalism although it is just talking about Lionel's mother. The edits do add to the plot but I would be grateful if someone who can evade the above-bot due to having higher posting privileges can correct the above. I do find it funny it was the word 'mother' that gets blocked while discussion of zombies, lawnmowers, body parts, blood, intestines, priests, breasts and so on don't get blocked!
