Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "Das komabrutale Duell" or "The Coma-Brutal Duel" is a German 80-minute film from 1999. The writer and director here is Heiko Fipper and he is also one of the actors. I am not sure you can say "actors", as no cast member has any acting experience apparently. From what I saw here, I refuse to call Fipper a filmmaker. It is actually his second movie. His first work is from the early 1990s and then he took a break of eight years and then he made this one here. I have no idea why he returned to filmmaking as it is certainly not the case that he improved his skills whatsoever and his first can't be worse than this one here I guess. Anyway, the title is already as baity as it gets, but the film is not good at all, or probably right what you would expect looking at a title. It's gore and splatter from start to finish, but the production values go close to zero really and it looks amateurish during its entire 80 minutes. And sadly, the effects, an area that these films usually make up for weak storytelling, are not good at all either. Is there a good thing about this film? Yes there is. It shows aspiring young filmmakers that you can still make a somewhat known movie, even if you have no talent at all. Apparetntly, Fipper has understood that filmmaking is definitely not his area of expertise and he has not made a new film in the almost 2 decades since this one. I highly suggest you stay far far away.

art-bizarre A bad movie, that's the truth. Despite being film Z is not a criteria to recognize this movie as good or fair, though, the film has what promises too much, much gore, no rhythm completely, a nonsensical story and uncreative ... to the make a gore movie, consider that by having 125 minutes of blood and violence, means that the viewer enjoy the gore, like me for example, I was pleased with the film ... must have rhythm, knowing when to and when not gore. In this sense the film fails ... But if we see Faces Of Death, but fictitiously ... clear Komabrutale Das Duell served, if we see gore film, with all that has to be a movie ... only see gore and not a movie.

ultra_tippergore Das Komabrutale Duell is maybe, the bloodiest and goriest movie ever. Maybe it is. I love bloody movies, i love gore, so i should love Das komabrutale duell if its one of the goriest. Well, this is not math. I can hardly watch this movie complete. The fast-forward help me a lot on this one. Its ultra-gore, ultra-bloody, but its boring. You need at least something like a plot at least. This movie is just a juxtaposition of gory scenes, one after the other without any plot (well, its about some gangs that fight or something like that, but that its not a plot, believe me). Lots and lots of blood (lot of the blood is brown....) but it sucks big time. 3/10.

EVOL666 Honestly, I have no f!cking idea what DAS KOMABRUTALLE DUELL is about. I have a Geramn language only copy and as I don't speak German, the "finer points" were totally lost on me. I will say that it ranks up there with some of the goriest films ever made - but from what I witnessed, it also ranked amongst the stupidest films ever made as well.The storyline seemed to revolve around some rival gangs that are trying to slaughter each other. Problem is, it doesn't seem like anyone can ever die. People get shot 100 times, chainsawed, beaten with objects, and all other sort of mayhem, and they just keep coming back for more. At one point, some of the gang-members come back as zombies (or something to that nature) but this doesn't seem to have any real effect either...Again, I really don't know what the hell was going on here. It seemed like a retarded cluster-f!ck of a film that I think was trying to be some sort of splatter comedy. The gore FX, though plentiful, are weak and laughable, and the whole production seems like it was shot on a weekend by a bunch of drunk teenagers. Some will be interested strictly because of the ridiculous amount of fake blood used in the film - but even that does not save this piece of garbage. The only people who I can seriously see gaining any sort of enjoyment from these films are those that REALLY like crappy zero-budget gore films, like Andreas Schnaas' sh!tty films. If you're a fan of crap like the VIOLENT SH!T films, then you'll probably love this one. All others should either steal this from someone or pass altogether, as it is ABSOLUTELY not worth paying for...2/10 (and that's only for the "fetus" scene)
