- US and UK versions feature different endings. The first
ending has Ash battling a she-demon in a department store
in the present. The alternative ending has Ash imbibing a
secret potion that would make him sleep one century for
each drop of the potion he drinks. He then goes to a cave
to sleep. However, he drank one drop too many and wakes
up to find a barren post-apocalyptic landscape. The final
shot is Ash screaming in rage at a red sky. The Great
Britain video version shows the ``potion'' ending, and
the version shown in US theatres showed the ``she-demon''
ending.
- In Australia and Japan there is a version of the film
called "Captain Supermarket: Evil Dead III - The
Special Edition", which contains many alternate
scenes, including the following:
- A cheesy shot is included in the pit: Ash decapitates the
female deadite and a previously deleted shot of black
blood splashes on the wall.
- Ash and Shiela make love (tastefully--you can't see
anything) in front of the fire on a bearskin rug. Then
there is another shot upon the tower: as Ash looks out
over the field, Shiela comes up to see him, and places
the cloak on his back, they then kiss. The cue "Give
me some sugar" is identical to the one on the
soundtrack album.
- Lengthened scene as Ash enters the windmill.
- Re-edited, shortened Little Ash torture sequence, missing
most of the music.
- Extended conversation between Ash and Badash: Ash: What
are you? Are you me? Badash: What are goo? Are goo me?
You sound like a jerk! Ash: What is this? Badash: Oh, you
wanna know? 'Cause the answer's easy: I'm Badash and
you're Goodash.
- Instead of "Good, bad, I'm the guy with the
gun," Ash says "I ain't that good".
- Ash's return to the castle is scored with "The
Forest of the Dead" in the regular cut; here it is
unscored.
- Scene featuring back and forth camera movement as
Arthur's men argue about staying at the castle and
extended Ash speech.
- Ash encourages the troops on the stairs to the parapet:
"I know you're scared; we're all scared, but we can
fight back...with technology." Extended
"Building the Deathcoaster" montage that
includes the complete music cue.
- Evilash asks his scout for a looking glass, attempts to
fix his hair, then, frustrated, tosses it back in the
scouts face.
- Ash runs up a spiral staircase which is open on the back
wall before viewind the army's approach on the tower.
This effect was achieved through camera movement rather
than cutting, as in the regular print.
- Henry the Red's army has a different fanfare, based on
the deleted theme from "The Deathcoaster," as
it appears on the album.
- The alternate ending is included as a bonus after the end
credits.
