Cannibal Holocaust Page #3

Yes...

This is Jack...

Faye...

Alan...

And this is Mark...

They have worked together for years.

They were terrible prima donnas

I have to admit they were real pros

The stuff they shot

could really gut punch you.

Yes I can imagine.

Their ratings were fantastic.

Higher than most of the big comics.

And they know how to play an audience

Alan especially

Look at this bit they shot before leaving.

Yes, were coming back anyway...

we got Felipe our guide

Come on up here...

Yes there we go ok...

This shots dark because the diaphragms

...setting on the camera was wrong.

There, now he's got it right.

Forget it.

There's no electricity where we're going.

Nope, this is anything but a well organized

safari with all the comforts.

Weapons...

Camera...

medicinal supplies.

That's about it!

Since we'll be covering hundreds of miles on foot

And that's another thing...

Who knows when we'll have another shower?

Of course I don't think Faye

will have any problem...

remaining the sexiest script girl in history.

Are you really shooting! Jerk...

Okay, okay,

that's enough.

Has anyone seen my pants anywhere?

What do you want those for?

To put them on my head, stupid...

I thought ever since Jack

took them off two years ago...

You didnt need them anymore.

Right, Mark?

That's right!

You idiot.

Knock it off...

Are you shooting again?

You idiot.

Crew of clowns.

They had a great sense of the theatrical.

Like I said...

Real professionals.

What was I saying, Professor?

I tried working with Alan a couple times

...and I just couldn't handle it.

You know he pushed his people to the limit...

Demanding everything including blood.

And talk about paranoia.

God have mercy on his soul.

He was one ruthless son of a b*tch.

So I feel we have a duty

to tell the public their story Mr. Yates.

You know I really appreciate you coming.

You're the first person to come...

...and talk to me about Alan

and what happened.

What I'd like to know professor is

What did happen to my son?

Can you tell me?

Faye - no, it was not her real name.

she always wanted to be an actress

her real name was Tina.

Excuse me a minute.

Children, look I'm just going to be

speaking with this man one more minute.

And then we'll play, OK?

As you can tell we're very different in our characters.

but Tina was very energetic.

Very hard working...

very ambitious,

extremely ambitious.

I used to say to her

Do you ever think you'll be

at peace with yourself?

Anyway...

Now she is...

God rest her soul.

Elizabeth! Elizabeth!

Excuse me, Ms. Anders,

...just two minutes.

How did you feel about Jack?

What's the use?

What I'm I suppose to say about Jack?

After two years of marriage...

I was with him for just for four months.

What are you doing?

I'll see ya.

He was always on assignments.

India, Asia, Africa.

Yea sure he was good in bed.

But, he liked to eat too.

No brains though.

To easily influenced...

Alan was his god you know...

You know what I mean?

You guys think I can get any bread out of this.

Mr. Tomaso,

Mr. Tomaso, please ...

I just want to ask you one question about your son.

Ya what do ya wanna ask me?

Look, your son was a man of special importance

to the news world.

Can you tell me something about him?

My son, my son was no good.

He doesn't work he doesn't go to school.

Wants to lay around the house all day.

He's no good period! Now that's it....

Now I gotta go back to my job.

Don't bother me no more!

But Mr. Tomaso, please,

your son was very well known

by a lot of people... just one question.

OK, just one..

About your son what kind of man was he?

My son, my son was a son of a b*tch.

And he was no good.

That's it, my son is dead!

I don't wanna talk about him no more.

Now leave me alone!

Good bye.

Mr. Tomaso, millions of Americans...

Mr. Tomaso, please...!

Why didn't they print the whole thing?

The negative needed special treatment

because of the humidity

The quality isn't the best,

but its pretty good

considering the lousy conditions

they were shooting in.

Unfortunately two reels were light fault.

we had to throw them out.

I put a piece of black leather between

one sequence and another.

Good, that's were will put

the interviews with the families.

...and the one in which you talk

about your search for them.

Go ahead Bill.

This first segment is silent.

Evidently they didn't always use their mics,

though they were attached right to the camera.

just above the lens, like a gun barrel... see?

Remember this is a very rough cut.

Almost like watching rushes

a lot of this stuff will be thrown out

in the actual editing.

Here we are; there should be

some sound coming in now.

No, no, not yet.

Here...

Felipe.

We've been walking for six days

in this marvelous air.

Today is Saturday the 25th

If I were in New York right now,

I'd probably be out shopping.

Get the camera.

Damn thing.

Wait, wait, wait...

How much of the material is without sound?

Less than half.

Every so often I laid in some stock music.

...to juice things up.

What is it?

The Yacumos passed this way

We are not far from the village.

Move away!

Jack, get the shot!

This is f***ing dangerous.

Shut the f*** up!

Look at it...

We've been walking through

the jungle for days.

With the harrowing feeling

we've been moving in circles.

At night we have to sleep in the trees,

so we don't get bit by...

...the snakes or spiders.

Felipe, are guide claims

we're near the big river.

Where the Yacumos live in the village.

Look at my feet!

F***ing jungle...

Alan do you want some tea?

Ahhh!!! Puta! Puta!

Cut my leg!

Cut my leg!

Puta!

Kill it!

Grab the leg...

Hold him down...

My God...Jesus Christ

Cut my leg

Cut it off! Come on put it on the fire...

Come on, do it.

Are you still shooting? Yea...

Do it now...I'm gettin' all...

Do it!

Felipe was a great buddy and a top-notch guy.

We'll miss him.

But even more we'll miss

the security he gave us.

We decided to go on.

But we've only got the compass...

...and our instincts to show the way...

Panning to you Alan

Faye, give us some earth shattering...

You know this is gonna make us famous.

You think so?

How famous?

Real famous and real rich.

What you going do with your money?

Gonna buy a house...

and a piece a ass...

Do you think this is funny?

Think that's funny huh?

Yea that's the only way you can get it.

Where's Faye?

I don't know.

Turn the camera off, will you.

Christ, what's taking you so long?

Well, I had to wait in line with the rest of the animals.

You're disgusting!

Hey get outta here!

I told you to get outta here with the camera.

Hey, I just want a little peak.

Will you get outta here!

I told you to turn the goddamn thing off.

I'll get you...

Come on, push!

Look there's a caiman.

Get out of the water.

No, no, forget about me.

Film it, film it...

Come on, get on the raft you guys.

Snake!

We're saved...

By the anaconda!

Saved from the jaws of death.
