Dawn of the Dead (2004) HD DVD still censored!!!
i just received conformation that the american hd dvd of zack snyder's dawn of the dead is still censored. the scene in question is when ana arrieves at the bus and a naked woman passes by on her car. the windshield has digital blood to cover the naked's woman breast.
i'm not going to buy this release and wait for the proper european or asian version.

Re: Dawn of the Dead (2004) HD DVD still censored!!!
Was the Unrated US DVD also censored in the same way? I don't recall the scene so I can't say.
Either way it's unfortunate but one digitally altered T&A shot isn't a deal breaker for me as long as the PQ is up to snuff.

Yes it was. Basically R1 was the only (="Unrated"-version inc. "blood on a car window") one, since other "Unrated" DVD-releases included "a shot of a topless zombie". Sure, this is not the end of the world, but I have to admit that "topless zombie"-shot is quite powerful. I definitely want it if other HD-releases include it..
I love the film. Even when itīs a "remake".

Why was it censored in the first place?
There's already a few topless shots, including a sex scene

Re: Dawn of the Dead (2004) HD DVD still censored!!!
I got the R3 DVD, which didn't have the blood obscuring the boobs. To be honest, although I can't imagine why anyone bothered to make the change for the R1, its such a non-event that it doesn't really matter to me.
What I want to hear is the PQ of the disc. I'm hoping its a winner, because this film has real rewatch value for me!

Re: Dawn of the Dead (2004) HD DVD still censored!!!
so covering a boob shot with blood that signifies violence and death...yep, us north americans have awesome priorities. hehe
I for one do not get the point of covering it up but I also do not get why someone would not buy a film because they don't get to see a boobie.
Whatever floats one's boat I guess.
