I mentioned this in another thread, but I thought it merited its own..."Return of the Living Dead 2" has gotten its much-anticipated DVD release in the States, and as soon as I was aware it was out, well, I ran out and got it.

By golly, I was looking forward to seeing it. I was totally shocked to discover that someone, and I don't care why, or how, SOMEONE decided it was a good idea to completely rescore the movie and eliminate most of the original music in favor of the new tracks (both the score and source cues).

And in addition to that, some seriously bad and unnecessary narration was recorded so the film could begin in an extra-lame way.

ROTLD2, while it's arguably not a masterpiece, nonetheless is a watchable horror flick with lots of effects and a tight sense of atmosphere. The original music score contributed a lot to it.

If you want to see the film with its original score, I thought it reasonable to mention that there are a number of VHS copies (from 1993) available online, for example on Ebay.
