Full Length Version


How long is the full length version of this film?

imdb says that the Argentinean Version runs 116 minutes. The version available on German DVD only runs 97:30 minutes (PAL, equals about 101 minutes NTSC) and it is clearly in some transitions that it is cut.

The US DVD I have says it's 104 min on the cover. But i've heard it's only 94 min. Have not whached it in years. Would have to try and dig it out to make sure.

The current German 2-disc set has a short version at 98 minutes and an uncut version at 109 minutes. (Interestingly, only the uncut version has the original audio available…)

However, PAL format runs about 4 minutes longer than NTSC. So, a PAL disc that runs 108 minutes is actually 104 minutes in the US NTSC format. 104 minutes is the standard cut in the US. But yes, the US DVD is a shorter cut of 94 minutes.l

Actually, the exact opposite is true: The running time in PAL format is 4% shorter than NTSC or the original film length, as PAL has a frame rate of 25 fps.

The uncut version on the German 2-disc set is a 114 min version of the film. PAL speed-up shortens the running time to 109 minutes on DVD.

There is a digital version making it's way around the 'net with a running length of 101 minutes. I just watched it and there seems to be a couple of scenes missing/shortened.

Sig, you want a sig, here's a SIG-sauer!
