James Tien's Bleeding Head (shortly before his death he is being hurt at the head) Roundup: Promotional material like showcase pictures or the 8mm trailer can give hints. Many useful information about this can be found on this page, which is recommendable to every fan and mystery solver. Of course, it is nothing special that some of the filmed footage isn't used in the finished movie, but because of the many abruptly ending scenes in both of the two versions here it will continue to be an interesting topic. In the first half, this version follows the popular version, but then switches to the old US version in the finale.ĭue to many censored scenes it can't really be recommended in comparison with the other versions.Īs already mentioned: Many scenes allegedly were additionally included/ longer in the original screening and, mainly due to the long time that has passsed, there probably will never be a final answer to the rumors that are being spread in the net. Despite the rather heavy overall cutting, this is the so far only version which shows the ending scene without a single piece missing.Ĭ) The UK VHS version, taken from the VHS by Polygram Video / 4 Front Video

The popular cut version is based on a master by Fortune Star. None of these can be called perfect because of the visible cuts, but the popular cut version can be considered best due to it's better image quality and availability.įollowing is a general overview of the various releases as well as some information about certain peculiarities and missing material that hasn't been released yet.
