Please note that only the Italian and German Blu-Rays carries the film's original audio mix (and the original foley effects). The MGM releases' mono track is in actuality a 'downmix' of the 5.1 track. It's unknown if the Mono track on the US Kino releases are either the original mix or a downmix of the 5.1 remix.
The Italian release also features a new restoration that is, by most accounts, superior to the MGM release - which suffers from noticeable cropping.
The German release has exclusive locations featurettes, and is not cropped, but doesn't include the Christopher Frayling featurette from the MGM releases.
The US Kino releases also includes some exclusive extras including an additional commentary. Note, the 2022 release has a newer transfer.
This film exists in two versions:
(1.) The original Italian version (which is also available dubbed in English) (100 minutes).
(2.) The cut US English language release version (96 minutes).
