Indeed, the Italian title lets on what it is really about. Director Antonio Margheriti was about to embark on his Vietnam war obsession. And that sort of ties in with this: its an alienated vets film. There are loads of films where Vietnam vets go off the rails and thus the cannibal virus in this. The original title of the film, incidentally, translates as Apocalypse Tomorrow, Which I took to be a play on Apocalypse Now.<br /><br />Oh and did you notice the rat catching fire- it was clearly an accident. That scene I believe has been cut in earlier UK releases- animal cruelty! (though I guess the definition was stretched to cover accidents). Thanks for the plug for my blog btw.
