     The splitting of the world into continents is somewhat of a culturally arbitrary thing, and I wouldn't be terribly surprised if Italy does things differently. Splitting Eurasia into Europe and Asia is entirely arbitrary, and you can also do other things like combine The Americas or connect Africa with Eurasia into Afro-Eurasia. Plus, Antarctica doesn't really count.

  I think y'all are misreading the ending there. The rat guy's not trying to look menacing, he's just freaking out at these weird hairless bipedal rats they've come across!

  I think the whole guinea pig - rat confusion is probably down to language differences. He probably meant lab rats (as in guinea pigs in the experimental sense). Werner Herzog used dyed lab rats in Nosferatu.

  I don't think they were rats OR guinea pigs. They are obviously mutant gophers, which explains a lot about the movie Caddyshack.

  Great Stuff'
  T love the ending of Rats. My reading of it is that the rat men recognise the humans a sentient and worth saving in a way that shows they have become more advanced than mankind. It's not menacing, it's ironic.

  So glad to see the return of The Bruno Mattei Show! It's probably my favorite of your series and after six months I was going through withdrawals.

  "I wonder who the real rats are..." Nice timing, with the Cannibal Holocaust commentary having come out recently.
  I gotta go pick up some Bruno Mattei movies. I think I'll start with this one.

  I knew it was just a matter of time for you to talk about Bruno Mattei's "RATS" (which has the most freakiest ending ever put in a horror film)!!!!

  my theory about the ending was that shortly after the people who rebelled went to the surface, the rats somehow attacked and took over the underground population, turning them into half-man, half-rat creatures. These creatures see themselves as a new species which is why they're so dead-set on killing the old rats as well as understanding basic English.

  I'm so happy to see more of this show! I like how you guys actually thought surprisingly deeply about what most people would have dismissed as meaningless shlock. I think the ratman in the end was just trying to say hello in his native tongue and was rather surprised when the strange bald ape started screaming at the top of her lungs. A moment later when she was curled up in a fetal position shaking in fear he probably tried to give her a piece of cheese in apology.

  Yay! I was waiting for this one since I saw the title card for the episode on eBay.XD
  
  Coincidentally, Rats is one of the few Bruno Mattei movies (along with Hell of the Living Dead and Jaws 5) available on DVD here in Italy at the moment. Which is quite sad, considering that Mattei was Italian...

  A couple things, you should read A Feast of Snakes by Harry Crews. It would have made a great exploitation movie if it had been made into a movie in the 70s or early 80s.
  
  Also, I know that Dawn of the Dead is your all time favorite horror movie. And I know you didn't care much for the remake. Or so I've heard. Can you give some of the reasons you didn't?

  After hearing hints about the ending to rats, seeing it was... wow. I know that you're all American and so were never exposed to a kids show called 'Roland the Rat', but when your movies big reveal reminds someone of a welsh gerbil off a kids show, you need to get in Stan Winston.
  Even though I know the ending, I really wanna see this film. I was laughing at each scene which involved rats being dumped onto someone and then just casually scuttling away. I did feel bad for the one rat on the guys head when he got set on fire; the poor little dude didn't know what was going on! Bruno really should be more careful with his miniature tailed guinea pigs...

  What if the title crawl at the beginning was being told from the ratmen's point of view? That the "Second Humanity" were the ratmen who stayed underground (in the sewers and fallout shelters left behind by the humans and were warped by the radiation over the 225 years), while the "New Primitives" were the rats the humans encountered, who had regressed back to their natural states?
  Also, I agree that the humans were being purposefully depicted as the vermin in this film, with the way they were wasting food and breeding like animals.

  Also, Bruno Mattei (if he's still alive) needs to remake Birdemic.

  Still need to watch them. But seeing the review got me in the mood too XD

  A fun review and certainly more thoroughly though out than my own view of RATS which basically amount to "Huh... so that happened."
  
  Can't wait for more TBMS!

  Yes, The Bruno Mattei Show is back! Great to see you guys take on this gem. Such a far out and awesome film. One of the funniest Bruno movies in my opinion.
  Nice to hear you argue about the unclear ending. I'm not sure if they're gonna get gassed too, or if the ratmen saves them.

  A few days ago, a friend of mine at work was talking about how he got a DVD set of movies about violence in women's prisons. And thanks to this show I was immediately able to ask him if they were the Bruno movies. We then got to talk about Bruno movies for about 30 minutes. Fantastic

  Funny note on the ending of the movie; real rats bulge their eyes when happy, this is known as bruxing. I seriously doubt Bruno knew this, but it would be hillarious if that was the ratfolks' elated relation to finding humans.

  I've recently discovered this site (through TVtropes.org) and absolutely love it! I just finished going through all of the Bruno Mattei episodes, and I seriously wonder if this isn't my favourite part of the entire site. So, I just wanted to drop a line to say how much I've been appreciating everyone's work here and I'm looking forward to continuing going through all the archives and watching for new material. Kudos, folks!

  I actually own rats and they are one of the best pets you can have! They're cute and can become cuddly if they get used to you, they're intelligent and you can teach em tricks and they freak some people out which is always a plus.
  
  So boo to animal cruelty!
