If by Braindead you mean the Peter Jackson one, that is on blu ray in the US under the name Dead Alive

I had the dvd release of deadalive a few years back and it was missing some humour and plot. The gore was intact though!

Yeah but that's a crappy Cut version which hasn't got good PQ reviews so I'm ignoring that one

There are 3 versions. The R Rated cut at 85 minutes with a lot of gore scenes removed.
The US unrated cut at 97 minutes, is the one on that blu ray, and is Peter Jackson's preferred version, as he was allowed to give it some "additional spit and polish", in his words. But this still doesn't have all the gore scenes.

Australia and the UK got the complete 104 minute version upon original release, and there are still some DVDs of this around, but you will mostly find the 97 minute version, as it's essentially the "Directors Cut"

On every copy I've seen, the whole movie looks like it was shot with a soft focus, so I'm not sure how good that much will ever look, but from what I've heard, the noise and contrast could be better.

Not to mentioned the awful Dead Alive moniker, frigging hate that title almost as much as Terror at the Opera or Dr Butcher M.D!

Well I certanly prefer the version that I know from the UK DVD. There's an awful lot of cool stuff missing from the Unrated-Cut

And FUTUREWORLD which is good news. The German BD is supposed to be bad and haven't found a review of the Australian disc so didn't want to shell out for it in case it's also lousy.
