Dawn of The Dead DVD (2004) Review **SPOILERS**



all you can eat at Ryan's Steakhouse



I saw the unedited version of DotD and loved it. What I can't understand is why didn't they leave in the parts they cut? The asian one armed running zombie was fast as hell!! The look on his face as he was getting shot cracked me up!

There was also more character development as well. Normally I don't give a shit, but it was still interesting learning a bit more about these people before they became zombie chow. Glen's little confession to the guards was funny as hell, plus the part with him saying he doesn't believe in God was cool too.

Then there's the slut chick. I always wondered why there was tension between her and dumb ass dog loving chick. That was revealed in the deleted scenes section. And you know what? I hate that stupid, dog loving, piece of shit retard bitch, too!



The part where they bust out of the guns and ammo store, they show that they used a propane tank to disperse the zombies before they made a run for it. This was NOT in the original movie. It should have been because I always wondered how the fuck they were able to make it outside while being totally surrounded by zombies. You never see HOW they do it, they're just...out there all of a sudden. Always thought that was lame as hell, but I'm glad they explained it.



Oh, yeah, back in the beginning when Anna is getting the fuck outta dodge, she encounters a random naked chick just walking down the road in a daze. She wasn't a zombie and none were attacking her, she was just walking down the road, butt nekkid. This was cut out of the original release. I'm kinda torn here-- I could see why they cut it out because it made no sense, it slowed down the pace and it served no purpose to the story whatsoever, but it's a random hot nekkid chick!! So confusing!



Oh yeah, (yeah, I'm skipping all over the place) when they first enter the mall, they show the origins of the toilet that was thrown through the window and why they did it. Apparently a lotta dumb asses with NO imagination complained about this scene and I guess they needed to spoon feed them the reasons why: THEY WERE IN A BED & BATH STORE. THE DOOR WAS LOCKED! THEY NEEDED A WAY OUT! window+DISPLAY TOILET= a way out!!!

I remember hearing some dumb cunts asking why did they dismantle a toilet to break a window? Jeeeeeeezus. Anyway...



The bonus features were cool too, particularly Andy's documentary. Apparently his tape is found by other survivors which is cool. I like the way he addressed the age old question: "why didn't he just snipe all dem damn zombies?" Well he tried, you know what? The gunshots just attracted MORE zombies! Makes sense...probably not a good idea shooting a gun off in a city full of creatures who are attracted by sound.



The deleted scenes were cool too. I can understand why they left some out, but there were others they should've kept, imo. Particularly the scene where they open the moving truck doors to free the people and they get a nasty little undead surprise.

Also the part where they actually show them barricading the doors (and doing a half ass job at it).



The other features were well done, too, like the News coverage of the outbreak. I especially like the dumbass frat kids who have a zombie chick chained up and encourage another dumbass to try to rape her or something. Of course the outcome is hilariously inevitable. What's even funnier is that during the credits they are actually referred to as DUMBASS#1, DUMBASS#2, etc. Good stuff!



The special effects feature was awesome and a bit frustrating. It's always been my life long dream to appear as a member of the undead in a zombie flick and watching all these people getting made up in zombie make-up and having a good time running around like idiots REALLY made me jealous! That should be me dammit!!! Rest assured my dream will be fufilled....oh yes....it will.



One of the best parts of the dvd was the "headshot effects". Man, nothing is as satisfying as seeing a zombie's head get blowed up reeeal good! Kind of a turn on as well..... I'm sure that's not normal....I might have to look into that.





Okay, I'm bored now. There's a whole lot more that I don't feel like yappin' about. Just watch it for yourself.
