I want to say that the DVD commentary said they were brothers, but that recollection is so vague that I could be conflating it with something else.

When I saw the name “Frank Agrama,” it instantly reminded me that Ahmed Agrama was the executive producer on Robotech. Oddly, though IMDB agrees with my childhood memory that it was Ahmed, Wikipedia agrees with you that it was Frank. Is Ahmed the same person as Frank?

A lot of people assume this movie is Italian, and the zombie makeup is one of the reasons. No thin greasepaint and bloody mouths here!

I do have to say that these zombies look more impressive than the common John Doe zombie these days.

Somewhere in the Internet is wrong. Frank Agrama (born Farouk Agrama) had a dozen local Egyptian productions under his belt before he tackled this one, with obvious Italian sympathies (and help); he was also the founder of The Harmony Gold Companies, which gave Robotech to English-speaking audiences.

I’ve read somewhere in the Internet that Frank Agrama (the director) is just a pseudonym of Lucio Fulci.

My favorite part of this movie is when Rick finds one of his lackeys strung up on a meathook, then runs outside and pretends to barf! As I recall, he was literally bending over and going, “BARRRRRRRF! BARRRRRRRRRRF!”

We are now officially waiting for the “Sefirama Has a Posse” T-shirts and commemorative mousepads.
