Argento cut is the most street credible version


Argento cut is the most street credible version of the three.

1.) All the wacky comical scenes are gone.
2.) Added dialogue that adds street credibility to the story line e.g. The mention of water! This is a big improvement! Water would be essential in a crisis like this and for some reason George A. Romero never mentions it.
3.) It is the shortest and thus it feels tighter. Movies often benefit from this.
4.) Music is more consistent throughout the movie. Remember this is a horror movie.
5.) Fixed mistakes in the end e.g. when Peter shoots the short biker in the end with the sniper rifle and he falls down and then gets eaten by a pack of zombies he actually screams and reacts to what is happening to him.

All this said, i still like the us version perhaps better because of those wacky comical scenes that for me make the movie what it is.

The extended cut is no doubt the best version of the film.

I don’t care if Romero didn’t like it, the extended version gave me a real sense of dread and the boredom the characters went through. Classic

The new poster expressed HIS opinions so according to you hes an idiot..?
Am i to assume that you are also an idiot?
You are doing a very poor job of running the show hot shot!

reply

You obviously do care or you wouldn’t have posted. Look, this is for Romero purists, why don’t you get lost

reply

You are obviously confusing yourself with your own nonsense...
This post was about BOTH Romero and Argento...What kind of a douche calls themself a 'purist?'
I dont need to get lost because you already did kiddo;)

I stand corrected - George A. Romero does mention water! But only once! It is in the scene where they are travelling from the small countryside airfield to the mall. Francine says: "We don't have food , We don't have water , We don't even have a radio"
I'm so happy that this line exists in the us theatrical version because it would've been a major blunder if nobody mentions water during the entire movie.
