Yeah, but if it were really Fulci's ghost, the story would have featured maggots.

Whenever Cyborg's dick is not on screen, all the other characters should be asking "Where's Cyborg's dick"?

He may have been jackin' it at different studios in reality, but in his heart, it was always at Disney.

"This is God speaking. Cut that out."

I'm no expert*, but that clip looks lit and framed professionally and features multiple edits and camera angles. No way it's porn.
