Hi all

Just got this today and was wondering :

1. When the picture goes grainy, does it mean one of the added scenes is on?

2. IS the other ending anywhere on the disk?

please help dudes

cheeeeeeers all

As the resident sad Evil Dead fanatic I think I can help out

basically the footage from the bootleg which is grainy is the only way they could restore it without an expensive digital clean up into the dvd ( story goes they found this footage in Bruce Campbells shed ) so it is a bit deteriorated this is due to the rights problems surrounding all of The Evil Dead films it seems everyone owns a peice of these films .....therefore any restoration is from the Film-makers private collections

so yes the grainy stuff is the added scenes

If you have the THX version get the bootleg if you reeeeeeeally like the movie only, because it may be a bit too "Wacky" for some tastes namely certain parts of the mini ash scene are Over the top .....but they grow on you in time

supposedly there is going to be ED2 and AOD book of the deads depending on the sucess of this one PLUS a mysterious fourth disk ......im getting a bit peeved with Anchor bay milking the Evil cash cow to death

But im a compulsive completist so its my own fault for funding there exploits

Get it ... definitely. I also have the THX version too ... but it is worth buying the 'bootleg' just for the legendary Bruce Campbell/Sam Raimi commentary. Very funny !!
Well worth having the two versions IMO !!!
