1. In the verdict section, 2nd paragraph:

"Note, that R1 is 1.78:1, while the Italian -release is 1.66:1 (this was probably shown in both ways)."

should be removed, as it is not true, although I've noticed some other releases listed are 1.85:1.


2. In the Cuts section:

R1 Special Edition America- Media Blasters - Uncut (Italian version) 91:20 NTSC)

has a bracket missing. I assume it should be:

R1 Special Edition America- Media Blasters - Uncut (Italian version) (91:20 NTSC)
