OVERALL: R0
The US/Canada Synapse release is the clear winner. Do note however, it's only available in a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack.
There has been a plenty of debate of the cut-status of this film. Thanks to Rewind users, we have now confirmed the running times of all of these releases, except the American 'Tango' release.
The one scene which is believed to be cut in the UK-version and others, is as follows in ALL of these releases:
"The scene where the girl is sexually abused by a solder iron lasts 24.5 seconds, but as he goes to touch her with it, she screams, and then the picture fades to white, and to the next scene."
Please, do not report any further cut-corrections/questions, if you´re not sure (we have had too many already). -
