Just seen it, and it was superb. I'm just going to urge you to go see it. For fat zombies and zombie heads and zombie babies and zombie Jay Lenos.

Glad that needed saying twice in a row.
Yeah the original's on tomorrow.
It's on tommorrow. I think I remember hearing the helicopter splutter, but haven't seen it for ages.
What the hell are you talking about ? ? ?
Is that an ending that I haven't seen from the original. The only one I've seen is where they fly off together. I'm so confused.

And left the movie hanging? Hmmm, possibly. It's a while since I've seen it, but do remember the screenplay making it clear they ended up dead. Quite nastily too. I do know this version was different to the filmed movie quite significantly too.

Fran: OH, JESUS, PETER...PLEASE...
Peter: I DON'T WANT TO GO...I REALLY DON'T...
YOU KNOW THAT? I REALLY DON'T.
743 Suddenly, the door flies open and the creatures lumber into the
living space. Peter stares at them. He smiles slightly. The
creatures advance, led by Stephen.
744 Fran starts to scream.
Fran: STEPHEN...STEPHEN...
She makes a slight move for her lover, but Peter raises his
super-gun and shoots the Zombie through the head.
As Stephen falls, Fran comes up short. The act startles her into
awareness. Peter faces her as the creatures come up behind him.
Peter: MOVE, WOMAN!
745 Fran grabs the sacks and climbs the ladder to the roof.
746 The creatures advance on Peter. He backs away, trying to lead
them from the skylight. They crash through the living space,
upsetting the carefully planned room.
747 On the roof, Fran desperately starts the helicopter engine.
748 Peter backs into the storage room, slamming the door. The
creatures approach the door and the super-gun roars one last
time. The Zombies push through the door and move in for their
feast.
749 Several zombies manage to scramble up the skylight to the roof.
Fran stares, transfixed. The blades roar up to full speed.
The creatures advance toward the machine.
Fran steps out onto the running board; the creatures very close
now. She crouches, watching for a moment, then looks up at the
spinning blades.
She stands straight up, driving her head into the spinning
blades.
A headless form falls to the roof. The Zombies advance.
750 In a wide shot, silhouetted against the dawn sky, we see the
creatures huddled under the chopper blades, feasting on their
last victim.
The credits crawl up.
Just as the credits end...
the engine of the helicopter sputters...
and dies.

I'm sure the copter had ran out of fuel.

We don't actually know that all we know is they dropped the camera and ran back to the boat.

Heh, I laughed my ass off all the way through. Excellent (but funny) movie.
Shaun of the Dead, if I get half as much laughs out of it as I did this DOTD, will be great. ;)
