Dawn Of The Dead: Unrated Director's Cut (2004) - German DVD
This is my first time watching the Dawn remake and I enjoyed it
 Still love the original but I thought this update wasn't too bad. Anyways, I picked up the German R2 DVD release two weeks ago and finally gave it a spin today. Pop in the disc and you get to choose between the English or German version. Nice animated menu. There's an introduction by director Zack Snyder explaining a bit about his director's cut. Basically, he's just saying there's more character and much more gore. And lots of cool gore there is Dawn is presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen. Print looks nice & clean. Audio is 5.1 DD and wasn't bad either. Extras include audio commentary which I haven't checked out yet and a few deleted scenes with audio commentary option. All scenes (about 8 I think) were cut for pacing. Nothing really spectacular though. Then there's a video diary by "Andy" which goes on a bit too long for my taste. A few (each about 20 minutes) behind-the-scenes / making-of about the special effects (exploding heads, zombie make-up, zombie attack etc), complete footage of the faux news reels that are shown in the movie plus a Shaun Of The Dead (in English) Trailer. Nice DVD, fun flick.

The Hong Kong disc is identical me thinks. I gives you an option for English or Chinese when you pop in the disc. And then when you play the movie, it asks you if you want to start the movie with the directors introduction. The cover art is identical too. Cool

I wish the R1 would've used that cover art. It's great.

i never understood the artwork for a lot of R1 discs. some of the worst artwork i've seen, yet foreign releases will get much superior artwork.

There's going to be unrated version in England three weeks after this, so maybe they wanted to use two different coverarts, but why didn't they use the one in U.S. and the one in Germany / Hong Kong / Australia. Last edited by Joni Backman; 09-20-2004 at 01:18 PM. |
