OVERALL: Draw

Between the Code Red release for the remastered transfer for the Unrated Version and exclusive extras and the UK 2-disc release from Anchor Bay for both versions of the film, differing (though minor) extras and 5.1 and DTS remixes for the Unrated Version. Just note, that the Code Red release has the original mono.

A UK release from 88 films is also available.

Three versions of this film exist:
