Dawn Of The Dead (1978 Arrow Release)

[Baraka X]

Anybody know what the specs are for this release? Amazon UK lists it as two discs and I really miss the "Director's " & "Argento" Cut. I know Anchor Bay is "working" on getting out the Ultimate Edition on BD, but I want it asap.

Any friend in the UK have any information regarding this release.

Thanks in advance.

I think I'll wait for reviews... I do have some early arrow DVDs and they are nothing to brag about.

A classic in the genre of Zombie movies and a deffinate must have on blu-ray.

Thanks so much for the info!

Release date has changed on Amazon UK though. Now it is listed for 3/1/10

Pre-ordered as there are nothing but rumblings of all the cuts being released in the US.

Thanks again Michael

Why not? It's easy to import using Amazon. I import from the UK and Japan using Amazon.

the US version is censored though, even if it claims to be 'unrated'.

Ditto, I got the ultimate editon dvd set, which will be fine untill a ultimate edition blu-ray set.

The U.S. version is the theatrical cut, which is unrated, meaning that it wasn't rated by the MPAA.

Censored? Try "edited by the director to flow better and keep the audience intersted", as all films are. The extended cut (frequently mistakenly referred to as a "director's cut") was an early workprint, and is only regarded as an "official" cut of the movie due to the fact that it was screened at Cannes. All films are shorter than their initial rough cuts. That doesn't qualify every movie ever made as "censored".

I'm thinking KaiGusto may have meant the DOTD remake was censored in the US, even though it was "unrated."
In the (pre credits?) scene just before Sarah Polley meats up with Ving Rhames, she's parked near a bus. The naked woman (zombie?) that comes towards the car has her breasts obscured by CG blood on the windshield. In the UK DVD version, the blood isn't there.

Also, was excited about this release, but no sell for me. I have the Ultimate Edition and the US Blu.

Thank you. Yeah the comment I replied to was originally referring to the 2004 version.
