He begs for Ripley to kill him. It's pure nightmare material, no idea why they cut it out of the movie.

Does anyone here have the DOTD Ultimate Edition Box set? It has four discs: the US Theatrical version, the Extended version (an extra 15 minutes), the European version (about 10 minutes shorter than the US version) and the final disc is a bunch of extras. From what I've read, the extended version had an extra scene at the docks, and the Euro version cut down on character development and focused on the action elements.
Originally Posted By brotherdave I have to admit, I don't own any of Romero's "Dead" movies on DVD. But, I have a brother who is an enormous fan of them, and have watched them at his home from time to time. I think that he may just have that Ultimate Edition that you mentioned!

It's this: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/393gbf" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/393gbf</a> So is this close to being right? And anything outside of these is just various editions of the same? If so, I suppose I have a lot of movies to watch to fully come up to speed. Night of the Living Dead.(1968) Original Dawn of the Dead.........(1978) Original Day of the Dead..........(1985) Original Night of the Living Dead.(1990) Re-make Dawn of the Dead.........(2004) Re-make Land of the Dead.........(2005) Original Diary of the Dead........(2008) Original

Originally Posted By brotherdave The 1990 remake of NotLD was done by Romero, with Tom Savini directing. So, in essence, it's 'part' of his "dead" series. He redid it to regain the copyright of the title and story since the first film fell into public domain years ago.

Originally Posted By Fe Maiden I enjoyed the remake. Re: the baby part, I've never seen such a reaction from an audience like the baby scene.
