Hail Caesar, godfather of Harlem...the cat with the .45-caliber claws!Director: Larry Cohen
OVERALL: R1-
OVERALL: R1
The US MGM release for the audio commentary.
Note:
The European version included an additional scene before the end credits, where, after Tommy Gibbs is seen wandering in a neighborhood slum, a street gang robs him and fatally beats him up. This sequence was originally cut from U.S. prints, as AIP was already interested in making a sequel. In the late 1990s when MGM bought the Orion Pictures library, and for some reason, all home video releases from MGM only featured the European version and not the original theatrical version. -
