I am wondering which version is better of Dawn, the original Romero cut, or the Dario Argento cut of it? If it is the Argento cut where can I buy it?

haven't seen the Argento cut, but I'm sure something like Ebay would be your best bet..

or, you could try the buy/sell/trade forum..

Well, you'll have to because it won't be out before August. Unless you have a time machine.

The only think I know is that the Argento's version is more action oriented.

In fact there are three different cuts of Dawn Of The Dead.

1.The Cannes cut, that runs approx 2,5 hours, which was the rushed cut and is now called Director's Cut(at least in here)

2.The Romero's Cut, which is the most famous and considered best,(though I haven't seen it)

3.The Argento Cut, that is more action oriented, as said before, and leaves out a lot of Romero's satire.

In Finland they released a 2-DVD set of DOTD with the Cannes Cut and Argento's Cut(which is unfortunately fullscreen). It also includes Document Of The Dead. I can't wait to get my hands on it next weekend.
