[edit] Full screen?

Was the film originally shot in 1.33/1 and then matted for DVD release (like the original Evil Dead), or shot in 1.85/1?

[edit] Remake Theory

In my opinion everything that happens up until Ash is thrown through trees is a remake. The beginning is just a retelling without Ash's pals and only his girlfriend.--suit-n-tie 20:16, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Validity of claims

I've noticed some of these trivia bits are taken from the IMDb, which is often quite unreliable. I think someone should put a tag or something on this.

I don't see one that isn't backed up by either the audio commentary on the DVD, Bill Warren's Evil Dead Companion (ISBN 0-312-27501-3), or Bruce Campbell's autobiography (ISBN 0-312-29145-0). Is any item in particulary troublesome to you? --SB | T 03:12, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I just removed two items that I couldn find no sources for (about it being Matt Groening's favorite film, and the "La Casa" Italian release material).--SB | T 05:36, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My Edit

Although no one cares, I have edited out the boyfriend/research partner with simply research partner. Not once was Ed called what's her name's boyfriend.--suit-n-tie 01:57, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Remake or Sequel? neither

i'd like to redo this section but obviously not without a strong concensus. while many people argue about whether it is a remake or a sequel, there is a STRONGER argument that it is truely neither, but does incorporate aspects of both. the main reason that it is NOT truely a remake is that although the beginning of the film is 75% true to form of the original certain key aspects (storyline deviations) make it clear that is not a remake. first of all, three less characters arrive in the woods intially and secondly, Ash destroys the Necromonicon at the end of Evil Dead. Also the storyline incorporated from part 1 accounts for less than of part 2, since the similarities end after Ash deals with his dead girlfriend. Now the obvious reason that this IS NOT a sequel, which came to me after watching Evil Dead II, seems rather obvious, that in Evil Dead II, none of the events from Evil Dead I have taken place, in fact, they take place within the movie Evil Dead II. Let's clear up the confusion in this article. --AlexOvShaolin 18:26, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
