Right-it says on the Absurd site that this is a rental version and the sell thru version will be out in 3 months-now Im wondering if the sell thru version may have extra material on it!!

The sell-thru will be the same disc. The cover will be slightly changed.

Sergio Martino is a very underrated director - it is good to see more of his films appearing on dvd.

Will someone please spill the beans on what this missing footage is?

It's 91 minutes in PAL, how long is it supposed to be?

The quality of the picture/sound on the disc is really OK though.

Actually, false alarm. The claim was due to a poorly made composite copy, the DVD is INTACT, and yes, it's entirely in English too!

A true MUST-BUY disc.

A great movie. Uncut. Full english language soundtrack. Scope format (2.35:1). And a beautiful transfer!

Releases like this are what makes DVD great. Astro is really making great releases these days. Not all european releases are shoddy german languaged, full screen, crap transfers.
