OVERALL: R2
The UK Arrow release for the extras and uncompressed audio.
The German Koch Media release has some additional extras, but note that some are on a bonus Blu-ray and not on the DVD.
GENERAL NOTES:
The film exists in at least three principle versions:
- the R-rated American theatrical version
- the television version which trims the sex and violence but has a coda with a child in a Halloween costume (who may be a werewolf) and a priest who are both credited in the cast list but do not appear in the theatrical version.
- the international cut of the film which has some additional footage during the sex scenes, the aformentioned coda, additional takes of Danning ripping off her top during the end credits montage, and gypsy music over the rest of the end credits crawl (this passage is silent in the American version). -
CUTS:
- R0 Germany- Koch Media - No cuts - international cut (87:11 PAL)
- R1 America- MGM Home Entertainment - No cuts - international version (90:47 NTSC)
- R2 Germany- EuroVideo - No cuts - international cut (87:09 PAL)
