OVERALL: Draw
The 2020 US and UK editions for having two versions in HD - including the longest known version - and each including substantial and differing extras.
GENERAL NOTES:
Both versions on the German Blu-ray are cut in the sense that they represent the German and Italian cuts of the film. A version with some extra scenes appeared on German VHS and a longer director's cut is the source of the US and UK Blu-rays.
Several versions of this film exist:
(1.) Italian version (88 minutes).
(2.) German version (84 minutes).
(3.) International version (87 minutes).
(4.) Re-Release version (91 minutes).
(5.) Director’s cut (104 minutes).
