It seems this fully-uncut Thai-DVD is a fantasy...:(

Hi! The running time is 98 minutes, 53 seconds. The uncut version I have is the same release once sold by Xploited Cinema but now out-of-stock there. Have a look at http://xploitedcinema.com/catalog/ulzanas-raid-uncut-ntsc-region-release-p-12725.html for full details.
Although Catalyst Alliance Co. has discontinued this title, ULZANA'S RAID is still available in some malls here in Thailand. My price is $24.99 plus $6.99 priority airmail delivery with confirmation number. Payment can be completed through Paypal with full buyer protection. Please check my 9000+, 100% positive Ebay feedback rating (User ID maxrenn2, store name TK Worldwide). Feel free to contact me at [email protected] with any questions.
In answer to some questions I've received concerning the running time: IMDB's listed running time is incorrect, approximately 2 minutes longer than actual length of the film (visit here for more info: http://www.latrobe.edu.au/screeningthepast/firstrelease/fr0600/bsfr10c.htm).
If you visit dvdcompare.net you'll find that the uncut PAL speed running time is the same as the Catalyst release. This is because the Catalyst DVD is a PAL-to-NTSC conversion that hasn't been speed corrected. However, this is completely undetectable to the human eye.
The IMDb running time for this film is definitely incorrect, although having said that there was a German videocassette release of this film that married the unique footage from both the Lancaster and Aldrich edits (for example, it contained both the pre-credits scene from Aldrich's edit and the scene with the troopers being ambushed from Lancaster's cut); this tape ran for a little over 105 minutes, if I remember correctly. This may be where the erroneous IMDb running time is sourced from.
I uploaded some (but not all) of the unique footage from the European cut (which doesn't seem to be available on DVD anywhere) onto YouTube: http://uk.youtube.com/user/lewisherschell
