Resident Evil film - The zombies. To make sure that the zombies would move appropriately throughout the film, professional dancers were hired because they had better control over their body-movement than most. The most notable is the axe-wielding, bald scientist. In the famous entrance scene where a shot of the zombie's dislocated ankle is shown, was not any sort of special effects trickery. The actor could actually dislocate his ankle. While computer-effects were used on some zombies, much of the undead look was ...

Der Untergang is a scrupulously-researched historical drama, based largely on historical detail left by the Nazis, first-hand accounts of the final days of the Third Reich in Berlin, and the personal testimony of the people who knew Hitler. With treatment of the Third Reich still a sensitive subject among many Germans even 60 years after World War II's end, the film broke one of the last remaining taboos by its depiction of Adolf Hitler in a central role by a German speaking a ...

Despite his ability and success to get projects that would be considered dreams off the ground, Anderson and his films are not well liked by their intended audience, many of whom mercilessly assault him over the Internet, even going so far as to post death threats and perform elaborate hoaxes to discredit him. While it is not uncommon for directors to be attacked anonymously over discussion forums, the amount of abuse that is heaped on Anderson daily is above and beyond even the backlash suffered by Joel Schumacher in t ...

The low-budget film was never released, despite the fact that the production had been completed, the marketing campaign and posters created and the Motion Picture Association of America had even given the film a PG label. To this day, there is some dispute as to why the finished film was shelved, available to the public only through bootleg copies.
