OVERALL: Draw
Each edition has exclusive extras but the 2015 88 Films' version is cut (its 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).

- Blu-ray ALL America- Severin Films - No cuts - Includes a brief opening shot missing from previous Blu-ray and DVD releases (91:45)
