Not knowing about the jazz dance scene in Army of Darkness Edit: okay, the scene was cut and used just to torture Bruce

Look at how they massacred Emo Peter

(Me who actually likes Spider-Man 3) *I'm Gonna Put Some Dirt In Your Eye*

@@dashingtherouxthesnow4017 Ahem, his name is Bully Maguire.

The tree scene is absolutely essential.

⁠@@blodarv666The tree scene is the first incident of the evil dead invading a human,thus kicking off all the wonderfully weird ensuing possession and craziness,so,although it makes me feel kind of creepy to say so,I tend to agree.The tree scene is needed.

The only difference between Raimi and Goebbels is Raimi dominated and still dominates comedy horror genre where Goebbels had a one day glory as the chancellor, sorta like that Jimmy carr lookalike

Bruce and Sam were massive stooges fans.

This video is more interesting to watch tnan the movie it is about

Well, that it one of the criticism of Drag Me To Hell, that he was just phoning it in and reusing techniques from Evil Dead without any innovation. I hated Drag Me To Hell and thought he had lost his way.

@@remlya I never even realized Drag Me to Hell was a Sam Rami film. I watched it in my high school horror phase where my best friend at the time and myself just were watching any and all horror films we could get our hands on. We both felt that it dragged in many places and that overall the ending left us unsatisfied. I don't really remember much of it except that its the last thing I recall Justin Long being in.

It was supposed to be set in the same universe.

Same here

Since I was the Richard Linklater Patience's video he became my favorite

Mine too

Mine too

same ever since his Criterion and UPA videos

have u ever seen Brick? It was Rian Johnsons low budget debut and I think its pretty awesome

Fortunately, overconfidence is in abundance at 20.

While I think Evil Dead II is a better made film, I still watch The Evil Dead a lot more than Evil Dead II.

Same here! One of my favourite horror movies. The second is great but for me it will always be the first.

Same here!!

Me too

It has its charms

edit: watching ROFS new video did indeed make my day

As if everything has to be made and appeal for children too

Fun factoid: Edward Snowden himself has advocated for censorship, albeit a particular kind.

This kind of actions are the same as saying "I don't personally like this so NOBODY will enjoy it."

I'm a brit and it's fucking awesome

Imagine caring about how you watch a movie and if it's "correct". Just enjoy the movie, doesn't matter whatever it's on

VHS is cheaper but 4K is better quality, which one ?

He was 20 not 21 when making the film

Love that podcast myself...George Romero would also make an outstanding season!

I mean... it's a few small details here and there that make sense to remove (cameraman reflection and stuff). It just tighten everything together better.

@@LaurianeG. But the whole point of the film is that it is a collective achievement of people who had nothing but the dream of making a movie, not mattering the effort. Those mistakes are history that Sam Raimi is erasing. Like(bad comparison coming) if someone from Kurosawa's family digitally stablized a shot Kurosawa left shaky. Like I said, the Bruce Campbell commentary track cannot be attatched to the new editions of Evil Dead because the mistakes he is talking about are not there. The mistakes are the soul of the film, imo. It shows humans made it for passion.

@@wandersonoliveira263 I mean... I disagree. One, considering it's the director himself who oversaw theses, the comparison does not work. But two, improving films is something quite normal that has been done thorough history, and many revised versions are now accepted as the definitive (blade runner's final cut to name one, but if I can make an even better comparison, the special edition of alien is also one that takes the film's qualities and improve upon them, perfecting it even). At the end of the day, what is really important is the film itself, the result and to be able to enjoy it. Sure, every film can have their little things that you forgive (like the car that disappear in jackie brown during the scene in the van between samuel l jackson and robert de niro).. but I mean every artist would tell you, if they could fix it, they would. And yeah, if it can improve the viewing by removing small details that can be distracting, why not.

@@LaurianeG. Ok, let's continue the argument because I really like it. So would you say the Star Wars special edition, with the new CGI, with Han Solo shooting second, made the films better? Not only the CGI polluted the screen(not even talking about how CGI ages poorly), but it just takes the charm of the original effects and the effort people put on the making of it. Blade Runner is a very different case from Evil Dead, where Ridley Scott had an intent from the beginning, but the studio butchered it. For Evil Dead, even if Sam Raimi may had a better vision for it then the final product, what we got was an amazing tale of people following their dreams. For real, to me the story of these people making this film for the course of years, out of passion for the art, guerrilla style, is the joy of watching it, not the story itself. It becomes an inspiring story for film-makers. And Sam Raimi got the chance to remake it anyway with Evil Dead 2, where he obviously took what worked, but pushed it to a comedic approach. Evil Dead is a film built around its trashy style. So why fix it, like it was thought to be an AAA film from the beginning? Not even Coppolla went out his way to fix Sonny's punch in the scene he beats his brother in law, and that film is trying to be a AAA masterpiece, not a trashy college project.

@@wandersonoliveira263 My problem with the star wars films mostly is that they were far from being Luca's films (especially empire but not just). And... I mean I can't pretend to know him, but I have the impression he tried his best afterwards to claim ownership on them as much as possible. Because the thing is... there are a few details that were fixed, like blue outlines on ships during composited shots, a stick pushing a walker in empire, little details like that. The problem really lies with the very major changes that... often did not understood the point of the scenes, which is a recurring problem of his. He did the same with THX 1138: the whole point of the film was claustrophobia, so trying to make some of the sets "larger" goes entirely against that idea. There is a big nuance. And... well in the case of blade runner, there are stuff in the final cut that were definitely changing how the original looked, like creating a new matte painting for the bird flying-off (rather than the very conspicuous shot of a factory), or the death of Zhora where you could clearly see it was a stunt double wearing a helmet with some wig, now replaced by the actual actress filmed on a green screen (and damn is it seamless it's impressive, especially if you consider all the light refraction there is in this scene) Concerning evil dead, while it's true that no art is made in a bubble and the condition, state of mind, opinions, etc of the people involved affect it and enrich it (watching Porco Rosso, for instance, once you know a lot about Hayao Miayazaki, becomes a truly touching experience). (... and sometimes it can leave a bitter aftertaste if these factors were.... not so ideal, yes, but let's focus on the positive here ^^) I do think, however, that if the only way to truly enjoy a film is by knowing about it... then there is a problem (not that it's the case here but I just want to advance the argument). A film also has to try to stand on it's own as much as possible.

The Evil Dead original is my all time favourite film

Evil Dead 2 is a remake of the first one. It's interesting to see what they kept and what they cut.

@@Tetsuito It's a requel

@@Tetsuito uhh no it's not

@@traashghost what are you? 12? Use Google for once in your life.

@@Tetsuito haha ouch got me. Have you seen the movie? It's clearly not a remake, it starts with a recap of the first and then picks up right where it ended.

I had no idea! which one was it?

Raimi and them are best friends It's not a big deal

Sam Raimi is a master. I hope Marvel let him do his thing in the next Doctor Strange film.

I don't have firm plans yet, but I would love to turn this into an ongoing series since I find the stories behind low-budget directorial debuts endlessly fascinating. Any potential future episodes wouldn't necessarily be limited to the horror genre though - I've been thinking about doing a video someday about Scorsese's debut, for instance.

Ive been there. One of the best ways is to make a film completely on your own acting on your own. Or you can film a short with no actors like Tim Kellner. It won't be perfect but good way to get experience and get your friends to take you more seriously when you make a more serious short film

Oh boy, this comment took me way back in time, totally been there. Some bits of advice you may or may not have heard before, have you tried not working with friends and seeking out talent for the film? I used to make (piss awful) shorts with my friends, and by gosh I was happy to have them but they just weren't enthusiastic about movie making enough to keep them focused. Try facebook groups maybe to find talents that have no experience who are just looking for an opportunity to grow some skills (no experience is key; anybody experienced you should pay full rate). As for lack of resources, I mean that's a problem that persists clear up to the MCU, what kind of resources do you need? If you can't afford arri kits, maybe ask any handymen you know if you could borrow some work lights and diffuse them with bedsheets. Props? Dig around your house, talk to your actors, make a few goodwill purchases that you can return later. Locations? What kind of locations? I've used friends' houses, Airbnbs, I've used one house as multiple houses in the story and use different B roll of the neighborhood to imply different locations. It's a pain in the ass and it takes work, BUT it's work that you can do. I needed the light to change colors for a shot once, so I asked a grade school teacher for a few sheets of overhead paper and colored it with sharpies. It's not ghetto if it works
