Full Length Version

I know the film has some choppy editing (most of which added to the anarchic pace of the film), but did anyone else get the sense that bits were missing form the TCM version? Do the bootleg versions fill in any gaps?

I get the feeling that what was shown on TCM in the States, at 76 minutes, was a print that had some secondary trimming done to it (this is common for these kind of films; damaged prints, shorten running times for more screenings etc.)

Any ideas?

The version shown on TCM is virtually identical to the VHS sold by Romeo Carey (Timothy's son) at Absolute Films.net. I bumped them both to DVD-R and the TCM print runs one second shorter than the Absolute Films VHS. The only difference I could see is a seconds-long title card at the beginning of the Absolute version that appears to have been added by Absolute.
