This reminds of the scene from Wild, Wild West where they use a special lens to project what it was that a dead scientist saw right when he died.

Also in one of the Robocop movies iirc.

why mention this, the need to post a comment cannot possibly be stronger than the decency to not spoil anything in a comment system that doesn't even have spoiler tags. Just delete that comment =)

Spoiling a movie from 1999?
selimthegrim
No, game from 20 years later.

Awful film. For some reason that's the only part I remember!

Literally the only good thing about this movie existing was that it made the punchline at the end of Kevin Smith's Superman/Tim Burton story so much funnier.

The spider mecha was very cool. That's all I remember, but what more does a movie need?

Greg Egan's distress has something similar although in that situation it's not just the retinas. All the organs are revived to make the person who died "alive" for a short while to help the police identify the culprit

I think in one of the Lord Darcy crime mysteries they used a magic spell to reveal the last thing a murder victim saw.

Holy juxtaposed headlines. For a second there I thought they were using revived retinas to make chocolate. I like mine dark and zombie-free, thanks.

This needs a little more explanation. I can't get chocolate from the current headline ...

oh, I see the link now ... ok in the article/page not the headline itself.

Seems the headline (original, not just here) refers to one piece of research, but the article is a transcription of a podcast that discusses that among other research (like 3D printing chocolate).
