Dawn of the Dead Complete Cut (1978) HIGHEST QUALITY (1080p Blu-ray) |
|
That was filmed in the Monroeville Mall near Pittsburgh.
I used to go there, years ago (as a shopper, not a zombie - but not really much difference when you get right down to it!). |
|
There was a time when I thought this was the greatest film ever.

Saw this movie on Fordham Road in the Bronx when I was like 9. A bunch of us walked down from Bainbridge Avenue to go see it. Summer vacation.
Scarred for life would be an understatement. |

2004 version was more better. It actually shocked me into beginning prepping

Btw actually downloading this was a PITA. Was able to use firefox and a video downloader addon Everything Wrong with Dawn of the Dead 2004 (Zombie SIns) |

Ving Rhames and his shotgun are the best part of the 2004 version

The AP-74s ruined it a bit for me but it's still a great historic horror flick.

I agree. The 2004 version wasn't near as good and juvenile (fake CGI muzzle flash at the end of rubber guns sucked too). Initially, I had a chance to do all the gun work in this one but the production moved to Canada. I still got invited to to the premiere in Pittsburgh. Met Quinton Tarrantino (he's a dick) and Robert Rodriguez (great guy). Romero's son met with me that night about a movie he was working on but I passed as friends in the industry who just worked with him stated he is totally unprofessional and is high when he's in the the director's chair. |

I worked in the movie industry for 20 years (alongside working in the defense and firearms industries) but never found out why they did that for sure. I asked Tom Savini once and he didn't know. (Tom Savini is the legendary SFX makeup guy who had a cameo in the original - he is one of reasons Rodriguez and Tarantino got into the movie business- look him up). AP-74s were around $125 and AR-15s were about $375 at the time of filming but rentals from Stembridge were available. The AP-74s were purchased and not rented most likely as they were not rigged to function with blanks. There was was a full auto Thompson in the film. |

I can see the price difference adding up, and quantity needed being a factor. Especially for the police/national guard scenes. Not sure if it was in a commentary. According to imfdb they didnt actually fire the 22s. They mimicked firing and added in the muzzle flash/report later. Makes sense since they had that sweet ass machine gun sound effect used in movies. https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Dawn_of_the_Dead_(1978)#Adler-Jager_AP-74 |

Night of the Living Dead remake is better than the original

Yes they did fire them with regular. 22 blanks . It is very difficult to rig a .22LR to run in semi-auto with .22 theatrical blanks (they look like crimped birdshot). I never used .22s being the Theatrical Armorer on dozens of movies. |

Best zombie movie. I still sometimes find myself whistling that little muzak tune that plays over the PA system in the mall.

That movie made me want a slick side AR with triangle hand guards.
I got one and it’s been a fantastic gun. |

I never used .22s being the Theatrical Armorer on dozens of movies. Very interesting stuff. My pet theory is just “they knew a yinzer with an FFL who hooked them up at cost” for the guns. If you look closely they’re ALL cheapo 22s. Same thing happened with Evil Dead, Bruce Campbell just went and bought a cheap shotgun to use as a prop in the film. |

I finished watching it last night. Man, the editing makes some of the action pretty jumpy and herky jerky.
|

|
They couldn't have made it three seconds longer?
Also, will watch. |

Wish they would get this on iTunes one day. As an almost teenager, this movie and First Blood always made it home on Friday afternoon from the VHS movie store for the weekend. One of my favorite movies and takes me back to a time when America was great…….

The Regal Cinema here is showing it in 3D next weekend. I'm going to see it.

Day before yesterday, Don Campbell (Bruce’s brother)posted a pic of himself with the original Evil Dead shotgun, 20ga single shot Stevens/JC Higgins from Sears. He still owns it 43 years later.
