OVERALL: Draw

The U.S. and French have exclusive extras and are the longest version (do note the latter is not English-friendly for the extras).

GENERAL NOTES:
The film exists in a number of versions:
- Italian and export version (~112 minutes)
- Canadian theatrical version (~108 minutes)
- U.S. theatrical version/U.K. pre-cert VHS (~96 minutes)
- U.K. theatrical version (~112 minutes)
- U.K. 18 certificate version (~95 minutes) based on the U.S. version with 13 seconds of cuts to animal violence.

There are also two versions of the English dub track: one with profanity, (U.S. prints) and another with softened dialogue (Canadian prints).

The German theatrical version ran ~91 minutes while the Blu-ray is based on the 105 minute version that originally played on the Arte HD network in Italian with German subtitles.

CUTS:

• R0 France- Le Chat qui Fume - No cuts (107:26 PAL)
• R1 America- Anchor Bay Entertainment - No cuts - international version (111:51 NTSC)
• R2 Germany- Tiberius Films - Yes, German version (105:55 PAL)
• R2 United Kingdom- Optimum Releasing - Yes - cuts unknown (101:05 PAL), longer than the UK VHS versions but shorter than the export version. The BBFC X-certificate version was uncut while the pre-cert VHS and 18 certificate cassette ran only ~91 minutes with 13 seconds of cuts (0:13) to a frog being torn apart (which has been waived here).
