They did that with Hellboy, too. Pissed me off so bad....

Romero said something about one of the major cut scenes was a story segment and not gore at all. Also, if I read correctly, he had zombies walk in front of a green screen and when there were big gore shots to lessen their intesity inserted the walking zombies which I don't think will be there in the unrated. No extra time, just not cheap censoring edited in. I also hope the hand ripping scene isn't all fog and shadow in the unrated...

I got it, but did'nt bother to see the theatre cut because it's only just come out in England. Some cool stuff on the dvd & not a bad commentary. One of the extended scenes felt really tacked on, had'nt seen the theatre cut but it was obvious watching the scene with Cholo in the Green that it was'nt in the theatre cut. As for the film not bad but i just hate that big daddy asshole!

Yaaaahhhh! Yaaaaaahhhhh!

Has anyone noticed that

1. Both "Land of the Dead" and "Ghosts of Mars" feature "monster warlords" who are named "Big Daddy"?

2. That the "monster warlords," in both cases, are transformed humans under the control of preturnatural forces?

3. That in both cases, the character makeup for these characters was done by KNB?

4. And that in both cases, the "monster warlords" generally get their people moving by screaming a lot?

But it goes farther than that, people!

"Ghosts of Mars" is basically a remake (on Mars) of Carpenter's "Assault on Precinct 13."

"Assault on Precinct 13" has many things in common with Romero's "Night of the Living Dead," including (as mentioned in a perceptive review I read once) the fact that in both cases the action is drawn to a central location by a character who, once arriving, becomes a vegetable and unable to greatly influence the outcome of the drama (Barbara in NOTLD, and the girl's father in ASSAULT).

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

noticed the similarities between those two films as well, Both those characters in both films annoyed the shit outta me. Anyone feel that the makeup on big daddy was really shit compared to the other zombies?
