Greatest Movie Deaths: ‘Men Behind the Sun’
Helping promote ABCs of Death 2, now on VOD platforms, we caught up with director Dennison Ramalho who guess blogged about his pick for “Greatest Movie Deaths,” which is included in this awesome supercut that includes picks from all 26 directors!
Ramalho heads back to 1988 where is talks about a classic scene in T.F. Mou’s Men Behind the Sun.
There was something wrong about the Hong Kong Horror-Drama MEN BEHIND THE SUN (1988, Dir: T.F. Mou). Something so evil and venomous that transcended mere shock value. The video store promised young Dennison a film that was “more shocking than FACES OF DEATH.” I was ecstatic, lining-up to rent that VHS. I like to be shocked, after all! But this thing was a different kind of beast…
Perhaps it was the way it was filmed…
It felt like a kinky, pleased look upon death and torture that disturbed me back then (and does it to this day). My favorite death scene in the history of movies is in one of its scenes. It made me suffer, cringe, barf… It branded itself in my brain forever.
Here it goes:
An elderly Chinese death camp prisoner is locked, naked, into a metal-walled room. We don’t know what that place is before the door is sealed. It’s a submarine-looking kind of environment. It doesn’t look good… Suddenly the man starts screaming from a pain in his ears. He collapses, squirming, as his body starts bloating like a puffer-fish. Sadistic doctors watch from above, as more atmospheric pressure is exerted upon the prisoner. When the body can’t handle no more pressure, his intestines snake out of his anus, expelled from the inside-out.
It was really tough to watch. It changed me.
Daniel Roebuck has been cast as Santa Claus in Terrifier 3, Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report.
Writer-director Damien Leone is currently wrapping production on the highly-anticipated sequel, in which Art the Clown unleashes chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve.
“I’ve been holding this secret for a long time!” Roebuck tells Bloody Disgusting. “I’ve been really excited about it. I’m actually entering into the movies that I watch. It’s extraordinary. This is Terrifier bigger, badder, best.”
Roebuck appears in Terrifier 3 alongside returning cast members David Howard Thornton, Lauren LaVera, Samantha Scaffidi, Elliot Fullam, and AEW superstar Chris Jericho.
No stranger to iconic horror properties, Roebuck has squared off against Michael Myers in Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, played The Count in Zombie’s The Munsters, succumbed to The Tall Man’s sphere in Phantasm: Ravager, and investigated death in Final Destination.
A distinguished character actor with over 250 credits, Roebuck has also appeared in The Devil’s Rejects, 3 from Hell, Bubba Ho-Tep, John Dies at the End, The Fugitive, Lost, Agent Cody Banks, and The Man in the High Castle. Incidentally, he’s also playing Santa in the family drama Saint Nick of Bethlehem, due out later this year.
Terrifier 3 will be released in theaters nationwide later this year via Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting in conjunction with our partner on Terrifier 2, Iconic Events Releasing.
