I know it's picky, but I don't like that change.

It ruins the smirk-eliciting tagline, but hey... since when have Focus features known what to put on a DVD cover?

Let me rephrase what I said then.
I know WHY they changed it, but it doesn't make sense to me since the promotion of the film was built around looking at that line, "A romantic comedy. With Zombies." and then going WTF over it, seeing how it's not something we've seen before.

Those without region-free machines can thank me now.

Great flick. I picked up the r2 disc, and the only negative thing I have to say about it is that it's frustrating that I can't lend it to more of my friends since most of them don't have region-free players. Great movie. It was worth the price of the disc for the Queen-scored pool-que zombie bash.
And Spaced is every bit as good. I was depressed after finishing the last episode knowing that there weren't any more to watch.

On 10/9, Edgar Wright made an appearance at the JoBlo message boards and responded to the question:
"Will the Us dvd of Shaun have the same stuff the Uk dvd has ?"
thusly:
"Not quite. Due to difference in bit rate requirements, there will be couple of changes. A few extras will be swapped around.
Most excitingly, we will be able to put back a couple of unrated extras that we couldn't feature on the UK edition; namely unbleeped commentaries and a special foulmouthed alternative take to the infamous Ed 'Whassup' line.* Equally filthy. Very funny.
Also expect to see some previously unseen casting sessions."
So with the R1, you'll get to hear the word "c*nt" more, but you won't get all the extras of the R2. I'll bet cash on the barrellhead right now that not all four commentaries, and the trivia subtitle track and the storyboard feature will be ported over to R1.
*I'll also bet that this take is the one that Bill Nighy refers to on one of the R2 commentaries, where instead of "niggaz" Ed says, you guessed it, "c*nts."

And since it'll probably never be released in R1, it really is a must buy.
There's a cool review here: http://www.dvddebate.com/modules.php...rder=0&thold=0

Thank you for that info. Now I don't feel like such a fool for buying the R2 instead of waiting. Foul language isn't that much of a draw for me. I'll probably just rent the R1.

The last 20secs of the docu are almost worth the price of double dipping on the series discs!Dan

"Wassup my niggaz!"...and how he popped out of the car to say it? Lord, my sides hurt. Can't wait for this to be released. Had plans to buy a region free player for this. Still will go region free for the Spaced set, but its nice to have Shaun in r1. Great movie, and great creators behind both Shaun and Spaced. You guys are killing me with that "watch the last 20 seconds" business. Can't wait.

I really enjoyed Shaun Of The Dead and the idea of getting Spaced is one I'm really mulling over. I would have to get a basic region free player since I really don't think I'd buy too many DVDs from others regions.
Might have to give this one some serious thought.

I just saw this info posted on DVDReviewer.co.uk, iand if this is correct then it looks like none of the R2 commentary tracks are gonna be on the R1 release.
ook Out There`s a Zombie(or Two) About! posted at 15:17 Bookmarkable link for this item Discuss this item
Universal will release Shaun of the Dead on the 21st of December priced at $29.98.
The surprise Zombie hit film of 2004 was written by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright. It features Pegg with Kate Ashfield, Nick Frost, Dylan Moran,Lucy Davis, Penelope Wilton, Bill Nighy and Jessica Stevenson.
Shaun(Pegg) is a already living a dead existence which he determines to change by winning back his ex- girlfriend Liz(Ashfield). He is so wrapped up in his own life and woes that he, at first, fails to notice that the legions of hell have returned to walk the earth.
Extras will include extended scenes, outtakes, casting tapes, Simon Pegg's video diary, Edgar & Simon's pitch to the studio, a special effects comparison, extended scenes from the television shows that Shaun watches in the film and galleries of production photos, ad campaign art and theatrical poster designs.
