Just Before Dawn : A German DVD from this movie is UNCENSORED!

A German DVD from this movie is UNCENSORED!

The german dvd label CMV Laservision released "Just before dawn" last year UNCUT. The print is 16:9 and looks a bit better than the US Shriek show release. The machete scene is fully UNCENSORED and best of all the DVD includes ALL the deleted/extended footage from the longer cut (UK DVD) as a bonus extra. Picture quality of this material is also cleaner and in better shape as on the UK version. Other extras are trailers, photo gallery, audio commentary. Unfortunately the making of from the US DVD is missing here! Sound is in English and German. The DVD comes in a stunning book style case, with the original and FANTASTIC German cinema poster art on the cover! German title is "Vor Morgengrauen".

Re: A German DVD from this movie is UNCENSORED!

Thanks for the heads up. If you want to know if all the missing footage from the UK disc is on the German dvd (doubtful), check under the alternate version here. The imdb just posted what I sent into them when I had to play the UK print side by side with the US paragon tape.

CMV also released a very nice edition of the incredible melting man


why it took over a year for anyone to mention this disc is odd. Then again amazon (amazon germany) does not carry cmv laser titles and most of them do not show up on ebay, so if you do not shop speciality dvd stores you probably have no clue (like myself) that this even existed.

You can get the DVD here….

It`s true that amazon doesn`t have the DVD in stock. This is the link to an austrian DVD online shop where everyone who`s interested can order the DVD from CMV : www.dtm.at The site is in german, but you can e-mail the staff and they will help you placing an order. The extra footage is identical to the UK DVD, about 20 minutes long and worth a look! Another great DVD from CMV : They released Alice, Sweat Alice (under the alternative title "Communion")last year in anamorphic widescreen (The 2 US releases are non-anamorphic!). Comes in a beautiful book-style case as all CMV releases. A great collector`s item too! Includes a photo gallery and the alternative title (same a Anchor Bay), but is missing the audio commentary!

"UK DVD, about 20 minutes long"



UK dvd does not have 20 mins of extra footage, it only comes out to about 9 mins(not counting scenes with different or missing music cues). Of that many of the scenes are literally 1-2 seconds in length and this is why I see it as very doubtfull they went through that hassle. I can see some of the more major sequences being on there, but not these ones (which most would miss if you did not play the US and UK version side by side)


I got a hold of these guys and placed an order, though they told me the dvd will be back in stock next week (however if I do not hear anythjing will go with the link you gave)

PS: the site you gave
www.dtm.at does have an english option. Once you go to the main link, hit the enter shop, then on the top right you will see the UK English flag, click on that for the site to show up in English

The footage is unedited!

The deleted footage is 20 minutes long because they show each scene in full lenght, even if some of it is included in the original cinema version. That`s why this part of the extra material on the DVD is almost 20 minutes long. You`re right, they (dtm) have an english option on the site. To be honest I haven`t noticed that before. I live in Austria and get my orders from the shop within 2 days each time.

Re: The footage is unedited!

I placed my order with them today. The extra footage is secondary because I own both UK (and the recalled US disc of the same version) as well as putting together a composite of that and the US paragon tape (which can be found here
http://fanedit.org/365/ )

I am mainly after this for the remastered and uncut pic (though the film is actually full frame and not a true widescreen ratio), as well as the extras they put on the disc

This is everything the US shriek show disc should have been

Hopefully all goes will with my order

OCT 4 2008 update

Still a big thank you for the heads up with http://shop.dtm.at The dvd came in today and I just sent this info in (eith more detail), but here is the lowdown

It is the same as the US region 1 Shriek Show dvd (even down to some of the same film noise in spots), however it offers the machete through crotch scene completely uncut unlike the US shriek show disc which shows an edited down version. The rest of the minor scenes that are missing from the shriek show
disc are also missing from this CMV edition as well.
As far as the UK footage goes, the CMV version offers most (but NOT all) of the alternate footage.

Re: The footage is unedited!

So the FANEDIT remains the most complete verison of the FILM?

Re: The footage is unedited!

Yes, my fan edit is still the most complete version to date. However the CMV is a very nice edition to own as well. It also comes in an old style vhs big box case (but slim). I might have an extra copy of their edition very shortly and would be looking to sell it if interested--

Re: The footage is unedited!

Hi there. Is the fanedit available anywhere these days?

Re: The footage is unedited!

Sending you a PM with more info--

99% of you people send me PM's with questions and never bother to check that I replied to them.

Re: The footage is unedited!

Could you please send me a pm as well. I'd like to see this fan cut. Thanks!

Are there any sites that carry this that accept paypal? I don't want to pay 13 euros for shipping and a $50 fee for the international wire transfer.
