Dawn of the Dead re-releases are different to The Lord of the Rings issue.

At least Romero's movie had been genuinely edited to suit different (European & USA) audiences, which someone obviously thought was a good idea at the time.

Then there is the element of its various censored editions, and some sought after cutting-room-floor footage.

Compare this to the drooling producers of the Rings trilogy... deliberately holding back on perfectly useable footage until a re-release opportunity is ripe.

Do you mean this scene isn't on any of the discs in the recent re-release, or isn't present in one of the old censored versions?
