    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
