Notes:Even though the Braindead trailer is selectable from two different locations, they are two different video tracks, not the same one. The German DTS track has no sound during the Queen sequence at the start of the film. Also available as a single-disc release called "Peter Jackson's Braindead", which is identical to this release.
Note also that this is a second "Peter Jackson Collection" and should not be confused (even though that's difficult!) with the Laser Paradise/Astro – Blood Edition (Red Edition/2nd Edition) version which was also released in a "Peter Jackson Collection"! -
