 Additional Information by laserking (42)   10/11/2008 - Last update: 27/12/2023 

Only the opening and closing credits are letterboxed at 2.35:1. Although the jacket lists the running time as 119 minutes, that includes the copyright warning and ERA Home Video logo at the beginning of the disc. Deducting these, the running time is 118 minutes, the same as the U.S. releases.

In a direct side-by-side comparison with the Singapore release [INTG 010-5101], I found that the Singapore disc is 6 minutes shorter. Most of the difference in running time is due to time-compression on the Singapore disc. However, it is also missing footage in one scene, apparently to remove graphic violence. In the scene when Marek kills the Skinhead, you only see him turning to slash his throat, and then the closeup of the Skinhead's face with blood starting to come out of his throat. Then the cut occurs, and you see Marek looking down, laughing maniacally, and saying, "Now THAT's funny!" The footage missing from the Singapore release shows the Skinhead's eyes rolling up and his head starting to tip backward, Marek looking directly at him, and then the Skinhead's severed head falling off, and the other Outsiders backing away as his body falls to the ground. All of this is fully included on this Hong Kong release.
