OVERALL: R2
The Italian release for the uncut version being anamorphic, and with optional Italian Dolby Digital 5.1.
Do note, however, that portions of the film have no English, although this is not crucial to follow the film.
GENERAL NOTES:
The film seems to exist in three principal versions:
- the original hardcore version (121 minutes NTSC = 116 minutes PAL). The longer version on the German DVD is a cobbled-together composite cut, not a legitimate version.
- the 1982 censored Italian version (106 minutes NTSC = 102 minutes PAL) which was cut down from the hardcore version with no alternate takes - the main actors did not participate in any of the hardcore scenes - which was also the basis for the shorter English export version;
- the English export version (94 minutes NTSC = 90 minutes PAL) – the film had American funding as was marketed internationally by Continental Motion Pictures (a so-called "uncut version" running only 89 minutes which may be trimmed or derived from a PAL master). -
CUTS:
- R0 America- Soft Touch Video / Woodhaven - Yes - The cover claims that this is the "Unrated version" (~88:00 NTSC)
- R2 Germany- X-Rated KultDVD - No cuts - Contains two versions of the film; the full hardcore version (125:00 PAL) and the Italian version (102:17 PAL)
- R2 Italy- Cine Storm Entertainment - No cuts - Contains two versions of the film; the full hardcore version (125:00 PAL) and the Italian version (102:17 PAL)
