OVERALL: R2

Koch Media for the unrated version with extras.

Two versions of this film exist:

- R-rated theatrical release.
- Unrated version which runs approimately twenty seconds longer.

CUTS:

• R0 Australia- Rainbow - No cuts. R-Rated Version
• R1 America- Trimark Home Video / Lions Gate - No cuts - R-Rated Version. Scenes of gore removed and alterations that lessen the impact of some of the more visceral scenes. Some notable omissions:
  - Split-second peep at lab technician's festering zombie bite.
  - Camera lingers on zombie gobbling brains, and as one of the techs is dragging himself to the door, a zombie gnaws on his leg.
  - A chunk of storekeeper's brain splatters against the van when he is shot by the police. Followed by a close-up of Julie eating his brains.
  - You actually see the storekeeper cram a crowbar into the cop's eye socket.
  - Bullet impacts to re-animated storekeeper's chest.
  - We see the wire break the skin when Julie pierces her arm with the spring.
  - Camera lingers when Julie cuts her hand with glass.
  - The lauded ripped lip is trimmed.
  - More lingering when Julie pulls an attackers head off.
  - Dramatically different shot selections when Julie is discovered chowing on Riverman (Basil Wallace).
  - Riverman's severed spine writhes around after the shotgun attack. (This info is from G. Noel Gross / DVDtalk)
