OVERALL: Draw
The Raunchy Tonk release has the best set of extras but the runtime quoted in reviews corresponds to that for a PAL to NTSC transfer. Otherwise, stick with the Odeon Ent. or VCI releases.
There are other releases in America (Alpha, Jef, Rhino) which are said to be of poor quality. -
CUTS:
- R0 America- Legend House - No cuts (~65:00 PAL > NTSC)
- R0 America- Raunchy Tonk - No cuts (~65:00 PAL > NTSC)
- R0 Thriller United Kingdom- Odeon Entertainment - No cuts (65:21 PAL)
- R1 British Cinema Classic B Film Collection, Vol. 1 America- VCI - No cuts
