Between "The Reconstruction" versions for the longer version of the film with the most extras.
About the "The Reconstruction" version:
"What you have is this (with the help of director’s notes, shooting script, and unprinted stored negatives and sound rolls): 15 entirely new sequences, as well as inserts and extensions added to another 23 sequences.
A film that went out 24 years ago at 113:11 minutes, is now 162:56 minutes (NTSC).
Producer Richard Schickel has gotten what he believes is 90% of the "Director´s cut” of the film (every scene in Fuller's script, with two exceptions - which he may not have shot - is now present and accounted for).
