The US Code Red 30th AE for the complete version of the film (with 2 widescreen versions and the original full screen version) and great set of extras.

There are many different cuts of this film. Most versions are missing most of the bloody moments, but there are also longer dialogue sequences in some cut versions than in other uncut prints.
