dawn 04/dawn 78 differences

[ipotts85]

just realized another difference (probably been mentioned but...): the zombies don't eat animals. intentional? or more likely the film makers hadn't seen the original, and just didn't know any better...

Did they eay animals in the original? I forgot about that.

In Night 68 a zombie ate a bug. In the Night remake a zombie bites the head off of a rodent.

Well, seeing as how they totally screwed up Romero's idea of ALL dead people returning to life no matter how they died(except head wounds), I would say that the film makers hadn't seen the original and don't know any better.

If I ever become a zombie, the first thing I'm going to do is eat Hack Snyd-HER. When Hack Snyder made this flick (Yawn'04) he didn't think, he played. I'll bet he'd only spend ten minutes in the directors seat and allowed a rental, mentally retarded orangutan to direct the rest.

I actually think the direction of Dawn 04 was the good part. It was the script that was pure crap.

I actually think the direction of Dawn 04 was the good part. It was the script that was pure crap. Well,.......I can think of ONE scene where I was thoroughly impressed...... Sarah Polley's foot stepping out of the tub. I did (kinda) like the transformation of Max Headroom, but......eh.....

Let's see how Zack Snyder pulls off 300. Surely, It'll be pure crap.

i watched the remake again last night for the umpteenth time. there's too many holes in the story, things that should have been put in the movie like...... how michael, andre, & luda made it to where they ran into ana & kenneth? how did the 3 zombies(the other security guard, & the two people in the sporting goods place) in the mall at become zombies? why wait until almost the end to try to get andy over there? maybe someone needs to remake the remake the right way

also, in the original script, the zombies eat fran's puppy... (although this thread has been hijacked since then, i thought i'd through it out there)

in romero's original dawn script.. didn't the protaganists have a pack of dogs in the mall to alert them to zombies, and in the end, when the zombies got in, they tore up the dogs.

My differences: Dawn 78 - best movie of all time Dawn 04 - not the best movie of all time
