Different titles for Zombie that all the hipsters use to sound more clued up!

Never heard of peplum. Just did a google search and came across one of his sword and sandal films from 1962. Thanks for mentioning it.

"A" sphagetti western? He made three of em:- Massacre Time, Four of the Apocalypse and Silver Saddle.

And I would rank his westerns on par with his horror works, if not just a slight notch below. While the first one was quite good, the other two are entertaining at best. All 3 have their respective flaws, but thats Fulci.

I still say his earlier 2 gialli - A Lizard in a Woman's Skin and Don't Torture A Duckling, are his best works.

Genre title for S&S es. Leone reportedly worked second unit on Ben-Hur, and liked to claim he directed the famous chariot scene(disproven). There are quite a few legends abounding, about him, most of them fostered by him, in his lifetime.

A great anecdote about him, involved an actor named Al Mulloch(you may remember him as the first face you see, in extreme close-up, in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly). He was one of the initial gunfighters at the beginning of Once Upon a Time in the West. During production, Mulloch committed suicide, by leaping from a hotel room window(he purported went flying past the stunned Leone on the way down) still dressed in costume. Leone rushed out into the street, frantically trying to retrieve the costume(it was the only one made). The story has fostered the notion that Leone's callous indifference to Mulloch cursed his films to be box office flops, forever after.

I chalk it up, more to crappy US distributors, myself.

From what I have seen, I agree. These are my two favorites. Particularly Don't Torture A Duckling.

But I am not much of a Fulci fan. I am one of the few that just can't stand The Beyond. I do like City of the Living Dead (or Gates of Hell, whatever) though.

Would have to say my favorite Fulci is either Dont Torture a Duckling or the obvious Beyond. Also high on the list would be Lizard in a womans skin.

Leone certainly had some backward habits. This might explain why the Man With No Name Trilogy appears to have been filmed in reverse chronological order. The most obvious clue is Eastwood finding his poncho on a Civil War battlefield at the end of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. The next would be For A Few Dollars More where a now ponchoed "Monk" watches Colonel Mortimer open a safe filled with cash with The Confederate States Of America printed on it. Finally, A Fistful Of Dollars, the first filmed would be the last chronologically as a headstone during the cemetery shootout is clearly marked 1874.

Don't Torture a Duckling, The Beyond and City of the Living Dead top my list followed closely by New York Ripper and The House by the Cemetary (mainly for the good Dr. at the end).

I'm a die hard fan of Zombie. I've seen a lot of Fulci films but non can compare to the fun that is Zombie.

To each his own.While I dont think CityOTLD is anywhere close to his best film, or my favorite.Well it is my favorite for the fact the GORE in it is excellent.Not that it isnt in all his films,but in COTLD its got some good gore and sick scenes.
