I currently only have the Arrow Films 2 Disc Special Edition version of Day, which runs for 97 minutes, but I noticed the other version runs for something like 101 minutes. My question is, what exactly am I missing? It seems to have similar special features, but is it the same thing as the cut version of Dawn, cutting out some of the more brutal scenes or is it dialogue?

Internet DVD comparison guides are your friends: DVD Compare (http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=677)

There are supposedly no cuts. The differences in running times can probably be attributed to 4% PAL speed-up.

Also, the Arrow Films 2-Disc edition has audio commentary with the special effects crew minus Savini (Greg Nicotero, Howard Berger, Everett Burrell and Mike Deak). This isn't available on the Anchor Bay 2-Disc edition.

yeah, I have yet to watch Day with the commentary funnily enough, I'd rather it included Savini.

Savini's commentary is on the Anchor Bay edition.

Someone should do a fan-edit and merge all available commentary tracks to a single disc. It's a pretty easy job if you have all the materials, even with the 4% speed difference between NTSC and PAL.

That'd be great :D Isn't Anchor Bay US only? Like I said before I have a PS3 which is apparently Region Free but I wouldn't want to risk it without reassurance.
