What is the runtime of the French trailer?
Also, is the disc sold on Amazon France the 2-disc or the 1-disc? Did you buy it from there?

I'll check the trailer runtime when I get home later.

I originally bought this disc in 2008, also from amazon.fr, but stupidly sold it on ebay when I bought the USA version, thinking that that would be uncut.

When I found out the US version had been edited, I rebought the French version from the amazon.fr link I provided (though just as before, I got a used copy from a third party seller). The disc/edition was exactly the same as the one I bought in 2008 - 1 disc, cover as per the blogspot link and not the amazon.fr listing. I assume it is the original French DVD release, I know of no earlier version.

I don't know if there ever was a 2 disc French edition other than the one with the grey cover and Starcrash 2 (in French only) as an extra. I know that exists because I saw it in the shops but because all the extras are in French and I don't speak French, I didn't see the point in buying it.
