OVERALL: Draw
The Wicked-Vision editions have the most comprehensive extras (go for the limited edition if you want the additional "nostalgic" version on the bonus DVD).
-
CUTS:
- Blu-ray A America- Kino Lorber - No cuts (87:26), but it uses the Kendall Schmidt synthesizer score composed for the 1984 VHS release since MGM could not clear the home video rights for the original score (MGM's HDTV version does, however, retain the original score).
- Blu-ray ALL United Kingdom- Odeon Entertainment - No cuts (87:04), previous BBFC cuts waived and uses original Peter Knight score.
- Blu-ray B Limited Collector's Edition Germany- Wicked-Vision Media - No cuts (87:07)
- Blu-ray B Standard Edition Germany- Wicked-Vision Media - No cuts (87:07)
