OVERALL: Draw
The US & German SE releases have a documentary and an audio commentary with the director & cinematographer.
The UK Fabulous Films release has a different solo director commentary plus a director introduction & interview.
The French release has 5.1 audio and differing exclusive extras, but has forced subtitles.
Versions:
The original version of the film utilized the song "Signifying Rapper" by Schoolly D in 4 places. In 1994, due to a lawsuit from the members of Led Zeppelin over the unauthorized sample of the song "Kashmir" in "Signifying Rapper," all uses of the song have been removed/replaced in all known subsequent releases.
The original cut of the film was rated NC-17 and runs 96 minutes.
A censored R-rated cut running 90 minutes was released on VHS in the US.
Information on the differences between the NC-17 and R-rated versions can be found at Movie-Censorship.com (SPOILERS!). -
