OVERALL: Draw
The US Vinegar Syndrome and the German releases for the uncut version and widescreen transfer, with minor language differences. Note the film is not available separately.
GENERAL NOTES:
The film's original version "Vengeance is Mine" was released theatrically as "Death Force" at a running time of 106 minutes with a downbeat ending. The 1981 reissue version "Fighting Mad" was not only more than twenty minutes shorter, but it freeze frames the ending early to create a happy ending. -
CUTS:
- R0 Drive-in Collection America- Vinegar Syndrome - No cuts (110:40 NTSC)
- R0 Martial Arts - 50 Movies America- Mill Creek Home Entertainment - Yes - edited 1983 reissue version (89:51 NTSC).
