    OVERALL: R2

    Finnish release, for the anamorphic transfer. Please see the cut-notes.

  •  

    CUTS:

    • R1 America- Image Entertainment - Yes (96:30 NTSC), apparently similar cuts as in the Finnish release. We are not sure how similar they are though.
    • R2 Finland- Finnkino - Yes (92:32 PAL). Compared to at least a Spanish VHS, approx. 5 seconds are missing:
      – 2 shots are missing from the opening scene, where the reindeer is killed (one involving axe, and the other involving knife).
      – 1 shot is missing (bloody face) from the scene, where some Russian soldier is hit by a truck at the village.
      These are not due the Finnish censorship, so shorter master probably has been used.
    • R2 Holland- RCV - Yes (92:40 PAL), 3 shots missing:
      – 2 shots are missing from the opening scene, where the reindeer is killed (one involving axe, and the other involving knife).
      – 1 shot is also missing (bloody face) from the scene, where a Russian soldier is hit by a truck at the village.
      These are not due to the Dutch censorship, so shorter master probably has been used as in US/Finnish releases.
    • R2 Spain- Notro Films - Yes, presumed to be cut as the Finnish release.
