Dawn Of The Dead Unrated or Theatrical Release
I'm wondering what type of release are we getting next week?
I read somewhere around here about some other uncut release in another region.

The 'uncut' release in other regions is the Unrated version we are getting next week. It was just released earlier elsewhere.
I am getting that version for sure. Just forget about the R version at all costs. Since there is a choice. It is quite obvious to go for the uncut version,as the R version is quite choppy.

Keep in mind, the rated and unrated have some different special feautres...Lame, but I will need to atleast rent the rated version.

Actually Giz,the Unrated version features all the extras + a couple exclusives not available on the rated release!
The only real difference between the two releases,in terms of extras are different menus and cover art designs

Haha,as if the 'rated' version is 'more suitable' for children. Ahh the hypocrisy with views on ratings
Jack,you make it sound like there are only mere fleeting seconds added to the film,instead of 10 minutes. Now if it were mere seconds. Then depending on which version you pick up. Spending extra money to get the 'right' version is pretty much a waste.
Yet with this film,I would hate to 'accidentally' pick up the rated release. Since there appears to be a big difference between the two. So of course unrated all the way

In comparing the two releases, it states that the rated version is "loaded with bonus features", then mentions the unrated version with scenes "scripted, shot, and produced exclusively for the DVD". The way the ad copy is phrased, it makes it sound as though the unrated version has fewer bonus features, if any, than the rated version.

I just called my local Blockbuster and the ONLY version of "Dawn of the Dead" that store plans to sell and rent on Tuesday is the unrated version!
Good for them!
By the way, I hope everyone doesn't start threadcrapping about the fact that BB prices suck since I already know that, but I have a gift card I need to finish off!

You must be new around here if you don't get Groucho's posting style.

Trust me when I say this. I have seen the different versions of it. The Unrated is the real way to go, but it's not tossing in anything really major other than the escape from andy's gun shop, that was important to the story. The theater jump cut when they escaped the gun shop was awful and the DC does offer a much better detail view of how it went down.
