GENERAL NOTES:
The film was officially unreleased in the United States; however, footage from the film was edited into the American feature The Serpent Warriors.
There are two primary versions of the film:

- the export version (~87 minutes) which includes a brief shot of nudity and a slightly more explicit sex scene (with no additional nudity) than seen in the domestic theatrical version.
A comparison of the content of the two versions can be found at Movie Censorship. -
