The original R3 subs found on the R3 with extras ARE MASSIVELY superior. I couldn't believe my eyes when I read the choice of words in many places, especially during the pivotal end scene.
The newer subs are an insult to the film, greatly dumbing it down. Yep I definitely think a subtitle example is needed.
Everyone is likely to have seen the film here but add SPOILER to the title and include caps from the pivotal end scene, they're the worst there.
I own the R3 (I paid £25 mail from China Town, London
, months before it came out anywhere else) and rented the UK R2. If they'd not fucked the subtitles up, strong word but true then I'd have given one of the SBs a go by now.
As for the DVDs the UK R2 is "slightly" sharper but is too dark too, I prefer the R3.

Then why on earth buy not one but two DVDs of it? That's something Romero likes to do but not you to

The original R2 and R3 should have proper british subs.
Afraid not it doesn't work that way. The R3 (& "maybe" the R3 SB) has unique subs. The UK R2 definitely has the dumbed down subs, like R1.

All later versions are supposed to have the american subs.
Really? What a shame. The British subs as you call them are definitely how it was shown theatrically, at least in the UK anyway.
p.s - I'm sure they're not American/British subs Tom, just different wording (dumbed down is more accurate). There's no American English in them for starters.
