5.) Those absent copyright laws pop up out of nowhere when it comes time to import Zombi 2 to other countries. Because of this, it can't be released under its "proper" English title Dawn of the Dead 2. In the USA, it is released simply as Zombie. In the UK, it is released as Zombie Flesh Eaters. It gains a sizable cult following.

Alright, my question is this: were any "official" Zombi sequels made and originally released under the title "Zombie 4+" in Italy. Not under some hack dub title in the States, but in Italy, where they should come from. Or was Zombi 3 the last official entry in the series?

3) er no

4+5) different countries, different laws
