Madrugada dos Mortos

When Ving Rhames heard of a remake of Zombie: O Despertar dos Mortos (1978) was in production, he tracked down producers to be in the film.

When the group goes into the parking garage to turn on the generators they never make it. They are instead confronted by zombies who they douse with gasoline from a pump and set on fire. If there was no electricity in the garage then the gasoline pump wouldn't work.

During the closing credits we see a series of shots filmed by the survivors using a camcorder they find on Steve's boat. There are a couple of scenes of Steve and his girlfriend (still left on the camera), then the survivors finding a small boat with a still-animated zombie head in an icebox, and finally them running out of gas and landing on an island where they are attacked by zombies. There are then a series of brief almost-subliminal flashes of zombies "attacking" the camera.

The print used on MTV and AMC had a truncated ending, which changes the entire outcome of the film as presented in its theatrical version. This print ends with the fade to black and the gunshot at the boat dock just before the end credits start. The rest of the theatrical ending which details the final fate of the mall survivors is removed. The end result is the ending is a "happier" one.
