Plus Vic Israel as a shambling zombie priest. He's in a lot of Italian spaghetti Westerns, plus played the whistling baggage man in Horror Express.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

Does he quality as a "that guy"?

Yep, he does. He's "that guy in all the spaghetti Westerns."

Awwww
I love a good "that guy".
I love spaghetti westerns too. I'll probably see him around!

Finished watching it this morning and they did have problems with remembering the head shooting rule. I got a bit bored during the village sequence but apart from that it was a fun watch.

Yeah it was around half way through that someone was shouting to shoot them in the head. Not that much of that happened.
The stock footage was quite obvious.

I loved the overdubbed news footage and the random animal footage. The way it cut from the crazy SWAT man shooting the zombie in the head to stock footage of diving birds did my head in for a few seconds.

Anyway, i read from an expert film reviewer that you have terrible taste in horror movies. Also his film reviews of horror movies are written better than yours.

This movie is asinine. I love it.
Happiness is a warm… yes it is… GUN!

Right?
These movies are often funnier than actual comedies.

I love how much of a lousy rip-off it is of Dawn of the Dead, which is a superior movie in every way. It uses the same score and tries to use the same character of Roger about 4 or 5 times. One of those lame clones even dresses in drag in one scene. WTF Italy, you glorious bastards, you!

Yes!
Speaking of Italian rip-offs…Have you seen
Starcrash
?

Never even heard of it, but Hasselhoff? Joe Spinell? AND Caroline Munro? (I met her)
It's on my radar now.

It's quite something. It even had John Barry doing the soundtrack.

Now that is one I have seen. How Did This Get Made? featured it last year and I wanted to make sure I knew what they were going on about. Christopher Plummer agreed to be in it because he wanted to go to Rome.

Luigi Cozzi made it! He's kind of a classic.

And still working away on the smallest budgets possible!

He's also a sweetheart!
