The U.S. DVD (from Trimark) is in fact Jackson's preferred cut. The extended international version is still worth it for fans, though.

how come the original new zealand release was the same as the "international" version then?

There was a fairly long delay between the NZ and U.S. release that Jackson used as an opportunity to "tighten up" the film. The IMDb has some more info.

As far as I'm concerned, the original Braindead cut seen just about everywhere but the U.S. is the only real version of the film.

All respects to PJ, but the Braindead cut is better. Even in the unrated version, there are two characters who simply disappear due to cut footage. That ain't right.

There is a UK release (supposedly just released); Widescreen. 99 Minute PAL = Film length 104 minutes UNCUT!



Screen Widescreen 1.66:1
Languages English - Dolby Surround

Coincidentally, it's 8.99 pounds at Play.com.

I personally am going to pick one up for myself at about $16 shipped to the U.S.

i got myself the dutch release at the store which i made a link to on the 1st post in this thread. yeah too bad it's penn and scan, otherwise it would be awesome for that prica but in this case it's still good for 8.99 euros. i guess i'm lucky that i didn't have to order it, i just go into the store.

Dutch subtitles are optional

I'm in R2, got to be pick this up, a R2 wanted uncut horror film, rare occurance

Weird. I picked up the UK. Universal Pictures Release of BrainDead and the cover is totally different than what I posted above. It's actually pretty cool with the picture of the baby (from the blender).

It look's like 1.66:1. The Trimark DVD is way superior in Video Quality. But this Universal Release is UNCUT.

Not sure if the frame was just opened up or not. Will check sometime soon.

The ending credits seem a bit different as well.
