OVERALL: Draw
Each edition has exclusive extras but the 2015 88 Films' version is cut (it's feature length extra is available elsewhere albeit only with a lossy soundtrack).
REGARDING THE 88 FILMS EDITIONS:
However, the remastered edition has a newer transfer with a different colour grade and is a longer version of the film.
However, both are taken from a new restoration with some claiming that the first release's grade was flawed. It doesn't explain the two extra minutes though.
The Severin transfer also includes a brief opening shot missing from other editions.
Two versions of this film exist:
(1.) Uncut original version (92 minutes).
(2.) US R-rated version (85 minutes). -
CUTS:
- Blu-ray ALL America- Severin Films - No cuts (91:45), including a brief opening shot missing from previous Blu-ray and DVD releases.
- Blu-ray ALL The Italian Collection #7: Remastered Special Edition United Kingdom- 88 Films - No cuts (92:00)
- Blu-ray B The Italian Collection #7 United Kingdom- 88 Films - Yes - Although the nature of the cuts are unknown (89:51)
