Japanese LD is more like (or maybe it's exactly the same as) the International Cut, which differs from the US Cut. It has the love making fireplace scene and the longer Sheila ripped blouse scene. At the end, it also has the US ending tacked on after the credits. It also has longer windmill and Ash spider walk scenes. It's P&S and has hard subtitles. This was the longest version available for a long time. Eventually, Anchor Bay released a Director's Cut, that has similar but slightly shortened scenes that I mentioned above.

The US ending is the supermarket one, while the apocalypse ending is the original one.
