The Italian and German e-m-s "Special Collector's Edition" releases have the longer Italian release with differing exclusive extras.
The US and French releases have the US version with differing exclusive extras.
The differences between the shorter US release (128 mins) and the original Italian release (142 mins) are numerous where the longer version includes both exposition scenes and scenes of violence censored from the US print. It is likely that the extra Italian dialogue scenes were never recorded in English and in addition, the opening credits have all been redone and run shorter (with shorter accompanying music) in the English version. Thanks to Rewind member Tim Rogerson for providing these details.
