OVERALL: Draw

Between the R0 Severin, R1 2-disc SE, R2 Italian 2-Disc set by "Beat Records" and the R2 Austrian release.

R1 SE and R2 Italian releases have both English and Italian audio (original score) with English subtitles, and some good extra features (English friendly).

The R2 Austrian release includes a slightly longer cut of the film (compared to the Italian-release at least) and audio commentary (probably not English friendly) with some additional minor extras, but it does not include the Italian audio track for the film.

Two versions of this film exist:
(1.) Uncut original version (92 minutes NTSC = 88 minutes PAL).
(2.) US R-rated version (85 minutes NTSC = 82 minutes PAL).

A comparison between the cut and uncut versions can be found at Movie Censorship but note that it includes some explicit material.

This film is also known as:
- Antropofago
- Gomia, Terror En El Mar Egeo
- Man Beast
- The Savage Island
