I downloaded this movie a while back, it was the widescreen version. I already saw it was cut on some parts...
I posted a request for the uncut version not knowing the main page had another version of this movie... namely the full screen version...
I thought, what the heck... CLICK

I did a preview and I already saw at least 3 new parts that weren't in the widescreen release. Hurray, it seems it's uncut. I almost finished downloading to check the rest.

Best part is.
The widescreen version is a cropped version of a full screen version.

Check out these 2 screen shots




So widescreen owners (including me): Widescreen is not always better it seems

can u say plz what was cut?
which scenes?

and yet, i read some manuals, forums. and many peeps r saying
"i crop usually 40pix from all sides - it does not loose anything..."
ffs...

well I can tell from the first scene it would be:

SPOILERS!!!

1. after fingers being eaten you see blood squirt from the hand, it's cut in the widescreen, you just see the hand move away from the mouth and blood on the window
2. they show the eaten fingers longer (on the hand that is), right before the zombie spits out the other parts of the fingers
3. more stabs in the back are shown
4. a close up of the brain of the laboratory worker with the boiling sound, right after he awakes from the dead
5. the laboratory worker eating the leg of his collegue is shown longer, you can see blood come from his suit

END SPOILERS

this is just the first gory scene of the movie, I can make screenshots if you want to

I know the asian shop owner has some nice parts too that are cut from the widescreen version.
So basicly the widescreen version looses some image and scenes and is blocky... avoid at all cost

I think the release company screwed the consumers....THEY stretched and sold it as WS...

it's not stretched, if you check both pictures you notice from left to right everything is the same, but from top to bottom you can see the heads are cut on the widescreen but in fullscreen they are fully visible.

LOL

tnx El Mariachi
i have uncut version.

The cropping on the widescreen version is correct, this is how most 1.85:1 ratio movies are shot.

This page explains it:

Thanks mate, that's a very nice page!

although I still prefer the uncut one over a cut and cropped widescreen one

I'd go for a fullscreen uncut version over a cut widescreen any day (I have the uncut UK DVD), but since I have a widescreen TV I prefer my movies in the theatrical ratio. Although on a PC monitor I'm not too fussed unless the fullscreen image is cropped at both sides. Sometimes you can't have the best of both worlds!

hehehe
an actual legitimate video company actually did that to say it was widescreen? hehe, now add the blackscene changes/editing marks and release it with '5 minutes of unreleased footage!(all black)'
