OVERALL: Draw
The US/Canadian releases have the shorter US version with some exclusive extras.
The French release has three versions of the film with some differing exclusive extras.
Note that the U.S. release is SDR and in mono (the film is Dolby Stereo) while the French release is HDR10 and has stereo audio.
Versions:
Approximately 13 minutes were excised by the film's US distributors (Universal and EMI). The version released theatrically in various European countries is significantly longer, featuring a different opening sequence and apparently expanding all of the scenes featuring Terence Stamp's character. (This version was released at UK cinemas, with a running time of 115:47 - see the BBFC.) The video version that was released in most countries - from Cannon in the UK - reflected the length of the U.S. version. -
CUTS:
- Blu-ray ALL America- Kino Lorber - No cuts - shorter US version.
- Blu-ray ALL Canada- Kino Lorber - No cuts - shorter US version.
- Blu-ray ALL France- Le chat qui fume - No cuts - Includes the shorter US version (in 4K and 1080p) (103:33), the composite extended version (125:16), and the French version (106:05).
