The Evil Dead 2 Commentary Track: Part Three



DVD CHAPTER THREE:

SAM:
 ...came out of the ford factory. Problem was, it was an oldsmobile.

LAUGHS

BRUCE:
Yeah because I...

GREG:
That's a miniature, too, right?

SAM:
 Yeah, again Bob Dyke and Tom shot that first piece.

BRUCE:
That then goes into the location.
I actually kinda like this sequence.
This is a good ridiculous sequence.

GREG:
This was the first day we had that the dummy of you that
we pulled through the windshield on the wire.

BRUCE:
Right.

SCOTT:
You mean that wasn't Bruce?

BRUCE:
HAHA!
[ACTING LIKE HE HAS A BROKEN JAW]
No, that was me Scott.

SAM:
Bruce, you were doing the driving in shots like that though, weren't you?

BRUCE:
 I was doing some of it, yeah.

GREG:
John Casino was he...

BRUCE:
John Casino was my stuntman for a total of probably 2 shots in the
whole movie cause Sam refused to let him do anything.

GREG:
Suddenly, it's dark.

SAM:
Because the more that there was a chance of Bruce hurting himself,
the more appealing it is to let him do his own work.

GREG:
Not only that but with Casino, it was too much of a gamble.

LAUGHS

GREG:
Hello?

SCOTT:
 Hey, it's night!

BRUCE:
See, that branch was piloted by Sam Raimi. I want you to know that.

SCOTT:
I know, you can just tell. It's got an extra evil force to it. [whip}

BRUCE:
Now, that rock salt was also thrown by Sam....

SAM:
this is the ramo-cam. this is the most frightening shot ever to film.
That thing built by Vern Hyde

GREG:
Vern Hyde, yeah.

SAM:
And uh Dale.

BRUCE:
Which was basically a steel pole about 30 feet long with a camera...

GREG:
Yeah.

BRUCE:
…attached to the end.

GREG:
 It had a spike on it.

SAM:
And it weighed hundreds of pounds.

BRUCE:
Yeah, it was horrible.

SAM:
And then you better… I remember just ramming that thing.

BRUCE:
 It took 6 or 7 of us cause then ya hadda feed it through
once you got it the back windshield

GREG:
 Lookit. I love this. You have to point out, you can see over
the edge of the set in in all these shots.

SCOTT:
Don't ruin the illusion.

GREG:
Oh look, there's the...

SAM:
There's the roof.

SCOTT:
Don't.

BRUCE:
I just love how big the cabin is inside.

GREG:
It's huge.

SCOTT:
But why wasn't it on an aluminum pole or something?
I mean the thing was like rigged to break.

GREG:
Because it was st... Nah, it was steel to puncture the windshield.

SCOTT:
Oh, I thought that was on a rig to explode and timing wise, but I guess not.

BRUCE:
It was, but that would have been too easy.

LAUGHS

GREG:
Where did Bruce go?

BRUCE:
 I love being so fast that I fake this thing out.

SCOTT:
LAUGHS

GREG:
And then it just gets pissed and pulls back.

SCOTT:
You’re getting pretty good. It's the second night in the cabin there.

BRUCE:
The cool thing about this is uh the hidden cuts throughout here to
link the outside location to the inside studio.

SCOTT:
No, it was all one shot.

BRUCE:
 I'll never tell where they are.

SCOTT:
It was all one shot. Yeah.

BRUCE:
Yeah, yeah.

GREG:
Just keeps going all the way to Rockingham.

BRUCE:
Yes. Well, everything's ok now.

SCOTT:
LAUGHS

GREG:
That was cool.

SCOTT:
 I think I'll redecorate.

BRUCE:
Sam, we sorta got hassled by having one person alone
for so much of this movie, didn't we?

SCOTT:
From who?

BRUCE:
I mean, from... from the studio.

SAM:
From Dino?

BRUCE:
[IMITATING DINO DELAURENTIIS]
 “Sam, you can't have one man for half an hour alone.”

SCOTT:
Yeah, but didn't he read the script? I mean it was there.

SAM:
Actually, I wanted to make the whole movie with you alone.
