OVERALL: Draw
Between the R1 2-disc SE, R2 Italian 2-Disc set by "Beat Records" and the R2 Austrian release.
R1 SE and R2 Italian -releases have both English and Italian audio (original score) with English subtitles, and some good extra features (English friendly). Note, that R1 is 1.78:1, while the Italian -release is 1.66:1 (this was probably shown in both ways).
The R2 Austrian release includes a slightly longer cut of the film (compared to the Italian-release at least) and audio commentary (probably not English friendly) with some additional minor extras, but it does not include the Italian audio track for the film.
A comparison between the cut and uncut versions can be found at Movie Censorship but note that it includes some explicit material.
This film is also known as:
- Antropofago
- Gomia, Terror En El Mar Egeo
- Man Beast
- The Savage Island -
CUTS:
- R0 America- Liberty International Entertainment - Yes - This version is heavily cut. The original running time is 90 mins. (NTSC) and is rated X. This dvd has the R-rated US version, which only runs 81 mins. (NTSC).
- R0 SE Germany- Astro - Uncut (Italian version) 86 mins (PAL). Some sources have said, that this might still missing some material (might be some dialog-scenes).
- R0 United Kingdom- Hollywood DVD - Yes (81:54). Various edits to violence and gore, as per the R0 US release.
- R1 SE America- Media Blasters/Shriek Show - Uncut (Italian version) 91:20 mins (NTSC).
- R2 Austria- NSM Records - No Cuts - "Uncut" 87.32 mins (PAL). Approx. 12 seconds longer than the Italian 'Beat Records' DVD (Slightly extended scenes only).
- R2 Germany- Laser Paradise - Uncut (Italian version) 86 mins (PAL).
- R2 LE Germany- Relax Publishing - Includes 3 versions of the film: Original (Italian version), cut (US version) and short (Super-8) version.
