Jack,I knew Groucho was joking and I was playing along. Ie-there are some people out there who would think "This is R rated,it is ok for my kids,but the unrated version is not suitable at all!". So I was laughing at how absurd that really is.

It is the same with edited cds. If you think they can handle the edited version. Then they might as well be allowed to listen to the unedited version. Since it is just hypocritical to assume 'edited=ok for all' unedited=bad bad bad. If you don't want them to watch or view such content at all. Then all versions should be off limits. It is just common sense:D

That sure is a lot of words for "I was playing along" . You may want to censors yourself down a bit.

I say go for unrated, not because of some more gruesome headshots but for some scenes that clear up alot of questions you had when watching the original release, mainly how they got into the mall and how they escaped Andy's gun shop, also there are some nice character moments too.

OK I just look at the boxes for both versions at dvdempire and yes that feature was not listed on the unrated release.

Hmm,so now what to do? Buy both versions or pick only one?

Unrated if only to find out how they all got out of the gun shop.

Just pick up the Unrated version.

Got the Unrated edition...never saw the Theatrical...but theres a lot of exploding heads in this flick! :D

I picked up the Unrated version as well and never saw the theatrical, so I'm not sure what the difference is. This movie is awesome!

Word in another thread is that the Best Buy bonus disc is only on the Rated version. :(

Surviving the Dawn is the first featurette on BOTH versions of the film.

See my post in the other thread:

I for one will watch the un-rated with my 7 year old,after the movie ill explain to her what could happen if she doesnt start to listen and make her bed everyday.....

No, "Surviving the Dawn" isn't included on the Unrated Director's Cut. Unless I'm blind.

According to the specs on Deep Discount DVD, that feature is on BOTH versions. In fact, it shows three other featurettes ONLY available on the DC:
2. RAISING THE DEAD
3. ATTACK OF THE LIVING DEAD
4. SPLITTING HEADACHES: ANATOMY OF EXPLODING HEADS

In other words, according to the Deep Discount DVD website, the DC has ALL of the extra features of the rated version, PLUS three additional featurettes. Why hasn't anybody brought this up? Kinda makes the decision a no-brainer, if the information is correct.

Nope. I'm looking at the DC now. It ain't there.

Also look at the back covers for both the Rated & Unrated releases and you will NOT see 'Surviving' listed on the unrated release.

I'm glad that Netflix is renting the UR version. I got an email today saying it shipped.
I also saw it twice in theatres... great film. :)

Sheesh, I'm getting dizzy. -confused- Does anybody have a link to a confirmed list of features for both releases?

www.dawnofthedeadmovie.net has the features listed.

But the info is incorrect. No "Surviving the Dawn" on the Unrated cut.

..and here is all the proof you need.

DAMN CENSORSHIP ON AN UNRATED DISC!!!!111

Well, this blows goats....

So Blockbastard IS carrying the Unrated version of this, but if they'd released it that way in the theaters and gotten an NC-17 then Blockbastard WOUDLN'T carry it? Makes perfect sense.

Hollywood video only has the rated version from what I hear.

"surviving' is probably a lameo promotional featurette (sort of like an "hbo first look" that has no replay value at all.
