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!!

I think both versions include the following:

Trailer
10 Additional Trailers

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

The disc is missing footage - more details soon.

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

03-06-2002, 07:23 PM

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.
