OVERALL: Draw
R1 by Shout! Factory has an anamorphic transfer and plenty of extras. Not though it's the US PG-Rated Theatrical Version.
The R2 German mediabook Blu-ray / DVD combo and the UK 88 Film's release have anamorphic transfers of the uncut international version.
Two versions exist:
(1.) The US PG-rated theatrical version (91 minutes NTSC = 87 minutes PAL)
(2.) The uncut international version (93 minutes NTSC = 89 minutes PAL)
A comparison between the US PG and international versions is available on Movie Censorship.
The international version has approximately 1:30 of more nudity:
- When Adrienne Barbeau takes a bath in the swamp, you could only see a side shot of her breast. Now you can see some extra footage of full-on breast shots.
- At the beginning of the party scene, two dancing gypsy women taking off their clothes. -
