Still think the original ending is the better one. It's the one that closes on the idea that Ash is some kind over the top badass that works at a department store.

The first ending was alright but I liked the one they used better. It left them open to do more with it if they wanted to.

I own both versions on DVD. ^_^ Both of the cuts have parts better than the other. But, I think the original ending (Ash sleeping too long which I lovingly refer to as the DumbAsh ending) is too serious and depressing for the tone the film, which was cheesey even in it's earliest version. So, I still prefer the American ending (Ash telling Director Sam Raimi's brother in the store his tale of time-travel, which I lovingly refer to as the S-Mart Ash ending) because it left the story more hopeful for a continuation. I guess we won't see continuations in movie form anymore though.

BTW, the original cut of AoD is available on DVD in the US. There were at least three different releases of it. Being AnchorBay DVDs, they aren't sold in stores anymore because Universal has cleared the market for the "American cut only" HD-DVD release of the movie under their brand-name. But, I bet you can still find it on eBay. The ending might not be that impressive, but 15 minutes more Medieval Dead is more enticing. Don't you think? ^_^ And that's just the extra footage in the movie! There are four big deleted scenes that are on the disc as well (about 9 more minutes, I think).
