Reader Reviews
Can one call Fulci a great director and still deserve to be taken seriously? Certainly the guy had some real talent, of a sort. But, let's be honest, he made some real bad movies - I mean unwatchable stinkers of the first order. But he also made a a number of movies that were of the so-bad-they're-good variety. Then there were the ones that weren't good by conventional standards, but were a lot more watchable and entertaining than any number of more conventionally "good" movies - too many of these to just be a fluke. And then, every once in a while, he made a movie that was actually good. 'Lizard' is actually pretty good, even by normal movie standards. The English dubbing is a lot better than what you're probably used to, for one thing. It's definitely got its charms. So it's a real pity about this disc. Obviously the problem here was finding acceptable elements. So we have this unwieldy two disc set that accentuates the downside a bit more than a patchwork composite of the available versions might have. (Examination of the differences between the English and Italian versions reveals some ways in which this might have been even more problematic, however.) The cropped Italian home video version is NOT, by the way complete. Both of the versions here have been shorn of sexy moments - different ones in each case! So there's a good chance that there might even be footage that doesn't appear in either of the versions here! Some deleted scenes from a (very poor) fourth source are included on the second disc as an easter egg - but this is not nearly all of the footage that was cut (rather sloppily) out of the Italian version presented here. If I ever find my old bootleg I'll do a comparison and update this review if I see anything new. Just know that this is a less than satisfying presentation - not for lack of trying, though. I'm sure the folks at MB were at least as frustrated trying to put this together as I was watching it. Note: While I can't really tell if my bootleg is a composite or not, there doesn't seem to be any extra footage. There is, however, a dialogue scene presented in English that only appears in the Italian version of MB's set - indicating that there was a complete English language version at some time. Also, the English language credits on my disc aren't the same as the ones presented on disc one - instead they reproduce the graphic style and effects of the more visually interesting Italian credits on disc 2 (except that they are yellow instead of white). One last thing I forgot to mention: In at least one scene the Italian version has some interesting background dialogue (in English!) that you won't hear in the English version. Why, I don't know. It enhances the tripped-out nature of the film as a whole.
