Comparison between the regular uncut version, which will be referred to as "Uncut" for convenience, and the workprint.

Unfortunately, the workprint does not have too many surprises in store. However, there is a lot of alternative (yet unspectacular) footage, many scene extensions and, above all, more dialogue. The new scenes between Frank and Freddy are top notch. It really is a shame that those did not make it on the DVD as deleted scenes and thus can only be seen in the workprint.

Whoever expects longer or extended gore scenes in the workprint will be disappointed. Apart from one or two exceptions, the workprint even contains less gore. Plainly and simply because all the gory close-ups had not been shot yet. You will find full particulars below.

Since both the image and sound quality of the workprint are extremely poor, it proved quite difficult to perceive alternative or new dialogue correctly. Such being the case, a question mark in brackets (?) was used to indicate unverifiable sentences or words. Completely unidentfiable text passages were omitted; they are indicated by three full stops in brackets (...).

Runtimes:

Uncut: 87:04 min. excluding end credits NTSC
Workprint: 108:04 min. excluding end credits (the workprint does not feature end credits) NTSC

In absolute terms, there is a difference of 21:00 min.. Nevertheless, since the workprint contains lots of alternative footage, one can assume that there are roughly 45 minutes of new footage.

General differences

First some information on general differences:

The workprint represents a very early cut of the movie. Consequently, the workprint appears less dynamic compared to the finished uncut version. Furthermore, several scenes (in particular various close-ups) had not yet been shot. This being the case, the workprint for one thing contains storyboard drawings of scenes which had not been included in the movie then, and for another thing shows a brief white-yellowish image as a kind of placeholder.

The workprint gets by without a movie score. (The only exception is Trash's dance/striptease scene. However, the workprint offers an alternative score here.)

The famous "Brrrrrains." phrase of the corpse in the container is missing. The corpse is moving its lips, but there is no sound.

The voices of the zombies sound more natural. In the uncut version they are deeper and more artificial.

The workprint lacks any text insertions; that includes opening and end credits and date display.

Frank's instructions to Freddy are more detailed in the workprint:

Frank: "Here we got the surgical devices, all through here. Look over there: See, those are gurneys. Oxygen, Freddy. Oxygen is highly explosive and I want you to be careful. I don't want you smoking here."
Freddy: "Don't worry, I don't smoke..."
Frank: "Good."
Freddy: "...cigarettes."
Frank: "Hahahahahahaha. Freddy, this is where we keep the fresh cadavers."

Here the uncut version sets in. However, Frank says:

Frank: "Over here, Freddy, is where we keep the fresh cadavers."

In the workprint, everything is seen from below (the camera follows Frank and Freddy). In the uncut version, the camp is seen from above briefly.

22 sec.


[00:03:17][00:03:27]

Frank: "You're not a clockwatcher, are you. Freddy?"
Freddy: "No, don't have a watch."
Frank: "Oh well, what time is your date?"
Freddy: "10 o'clock."
Frank: "Oh no, we're fine. I mean, we only got work an hour or so. Who you gonna date with?"
Freddy: "A girl."
Frank: "Well, I hope it's a girl, Freddy. You know, I was kinda nervous with that damn ear ring you got there."
Freddy: "Hehehe."
Frank: "You got some exchange for the soda machine?"
Freddy rummages around in his pocket.
Freddy: "No."
Frank: "Guess, I have to threat then."
Frank laughs.
Frank: "Where you're going?"
Freddy: "Oh, we're gonna dancin' tonight over the red dog (?) soon."

Frank walks over to the beverage dispenser.

working."

Cut. The workprint offers an alternative scene:

[The phone rings. Freddy startles.]

Now follows the same scene with similar dialogue, but they are actually two different recordings. One can tell that this is the case because of a slightly changed sitting position and because in the uncut version a few pencils fall off the table, which does not happen in the workprint.

Workprint:

Frank: "Hello? Oh, hi honey...Yeah...No, no...we just be another hour or so...ah, you keep the pop rost (?) hot for me...yeah, I love you too, honey...kiss kiss yeah."

The desk is shown from the side all the time.
