fangoria mentioned there is a dream sequence here involving a dog getting vivisected, and that this scene almost got fulci and his FX artist jailed.
i didn´t see this film but in all of fulci´s other works the violence looks like FX, never convincing
what about the dog scene?
It's a pretty shocking scene for the time. The dogs look fake by today's standards though. Apparently the film makers were taken to the Italian courts and made to produce the dog puppets to prove they were fake!
You shaid you wanted to know how to get Capone? Well here'sh how you get him...
One of the judges thought they'd just constructed the "dummy" dog after the fact to try and get themselves off the hook, because it looked so realistic in the movie!
shareThat scene looked pretty sick. It looked fairly real too imo.

GimboTheGhoulie: That scene looked pretty sick. It looked fairly real too imo.

Well it isn't and if you look carefully you can even see the effect(tubing etc) and much of the dogs anatomy is missing so to speak.
One should judge a man mainly from his depravities.Virtues can be faked.Depravities are real.Kinski
thanks for the info
shareCarlo Rambaldi - a man capable of greatness (ET, Alien etc.) and awful work (the first King Kong remake, where Rick Baker did the good stuff) - did the dogs for this.

It looked pretty sick. The dogs face didn't have as much movement as you would think, but as far as the organs go.... wow!
I've seen real surgeries. Those organs looked pretty (bleep) real.

The movements of the dogs looked mechanical and repetitious to me. I thought they were constructed realistically enough but when they moved, the looked fake. I can't believe anyone ever thought they were real live dogs. I read the same interview in an early issue of Fangoria but I am starting to question whether it really happened that Fulci ended up in court and Rambaldi saved him. It's a nice story but sounds kind of unbelieveable to me.
