OVERALL: Draw
Film Masters has both versions, lossless audio, subtitles, and a commentary while Retromedia has the theatrical version, the television scenes as an extra, as well as a different commentary track.
GENERAL NOTES:
Following the film's theatrical release, nearly seven minutes of additional scenes were shot for television to accommodate a ninety-minute broadcast block (with commercials). The film exists in two cuts:
- the theatrical cut (~65 minutes);
- the television cut (~72 minutes).
-
CUTS:
- Blu-ray ALL Special Edition America- Film Masters - Yes, includes the theatrical version (65:22) - which is missing a five second shot of the ski lift before the title card and a brief bit of dialogue later - and extended television version (71:56) which has the ski lift shot but is also missing the brief dialogue.
- Blu-ray ALL Wide Screen Double Creature Feature America- Retromedia - No cuts - Original Theatrical Version (65:47).
