I saw this interview ages ago and not really understood why people found it funny that he compared the two films. He's only pointing out that the contamination is similar, nothing wrong with that. He doesn't claim that it was directly influenced by it.
That aside, he's one of the best interviewee's around and come out with some right corkers. I remember him saying something like George Romero should be ashamed for shooting footage for the US release of SPASMO (footage I'd love to see, if it still exists). Conveniently forgetting that he shamefully took footage from other movies to make EATEN ALIVE!
