OVERALL: Draw

- R0 DC offers the preferred version of Jess Franco uncut, with a proper transfer and the best set of extra-features.
- R0 X-Rated "French version" includes X-rated scenes which were not made by Franco (the shorter version is the "Director´s Cut") and it's English-friendly.

According to author Stephen Thrower (Murderous Passions: The Delirious Cinema of Jess Franco) there are four versions of this film:
1.) The director's cut
2.) The Spanish version (99 Mujeres); a differently edited version with none of the sexually explicit material.
3.) The 1974 French hardcore version which adds just over eight minutes of hard material shot by Claude Sendron (X-rated version).
4.) The Greek video release which contains an expansion of Zoe's flashback scene shot in the USA by other hands (this material is in the deleted scenes on the Blue Underground disc).

This has also been released in:
- Holland by Dutch FilmWorks
- United Kingdom by Mediumrare

This film is also known as:
- "99 Donne"
- "Der Heiße Tod"
- "Prostitutes in Prison"
- "Sex im Frauengefängnis"
- "The Hot Death"
