AFAIK the European Argento Cut of Dawn of the Dead still not on BD in USA. So:

The french release with forced french subs on english audio was allready mentioned. Well: Austria also got the Argento Cut. NSM released a 2 Disc BD Box with US Theatrical Cut and Argento Cut. Also there are single Disc Releases with the Argento Cut.

The Boxes are different Hardboxes with some nice artwork.

(I link to the Austrian Shop site, where I found them, because of feature listing)

Double Feature:

 

Argento Cut:

Cover A / B / C:

 

Romero Cut:

Cover A / B / C:

The Double Feature is limited to 333 pc. The Single BD Editions are each variant limited to 131 pc.

I expect the image quality to be like the US and the french BDs. But: no forced subtitles. Region Code not sure, yet. Will get my double feature next week, maybe.

According to ofdb.de the Regioncoding is B. :(

The Bonus features are the same as on the US Disc, The Dead will walk is english audio with german voice over.

The englisch audio on the Argento Cut is stated to be 5.1 DTS-HD.

No sub, neither german nor english.

 

Checked a bit: The French BD is BD 50 and the main movie seems to need about 29 GB on the Disc. The austrian BD is just BD25. So I expect the quality to be lower. :( I will see and try to bring a comparison online. If the Quality is noticable worse than the french, but the audio a bit better (french disc is stated to contain DTS 5.1 english audio, austrian is stated to contain DTS-HD 5.1 english audio) it could be a nice preservation project, bringing french picture, austrian english audio, and someway some english subtitles togerther...
