OVERALL: Draw

Difficult one.
-R2 Dutch Filmworks release contains English audio and is presented in its OAR, but seems to be a shorter cut of the film--perhaps the same cut that is contained on the German release from Screen Power.
-R2 Italian -release has the best transfer and longest version, but no English subtitles.
-There are several German-releases (see notes) with different running times, and quality also varies. No English audio/subs on any of them, it seems.

General notes about various German DVD-releases:
-Original German release title was "Gott vergibt - Django nie!", with a length of 95 minutes.
-The film was turned into a comedy in Germany by way of dubbing and released in an 85-minute long version. This "comic version" was released on DVD by 3 German (Euro Video, KSM, Screen Power) and one Austrian (Best Entertainment) company under the Django title.
-Screen Power also released the non-comedy version under the title "Zwe vom Affen gebissen".
-The film was re-released with yet another German title, "Gott Vergibt - Wir Beide Nie!" using the old dub of the straight 95min version ("Gott Vergibt - Django Nie!"). Now, "Gott Vergibt - Wir Beide Nie!" was put on DVD by KSM running 95 min, but in the meantime Screen Power has restored a much longer version in their "Italo Western Collection" which runs 107m 16s, being the longest version of the film outside Italy (some pieces of dialogue and a hold-up and rape scene are still missing).
-All of these DVDs are cropped to 1.85:1.
-After these, some German DVDs were released in the aspect ratio of 2.35:1.
