Beaten, Betrayed and Bustin' Loose!Director: Cirio H. Santiago
OVERALL: Draw-
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. -
