What's the longest running time in any available version of this film?

Hi, I see this site says the longest version is 96 minutes, does anyone know for sure if that's correct? I thought I'd heard years ago that there were deleted scenes available at some websites (scenes which were never included in any version of the film made available on DVD or VHS).

How many minutes' worth of deleted footage is available online? Does anyone have the link to that website, I've lost my link.

Thanks for any information.

About 2 minutes in which the Alpha Omega Bomb held holy by the mutants thousands of years later is shown and spoken of, as Kolps last directive was to use the bomb if he didnt return from Caesars village. Of course it wasnt. You also get to see Mendez the First. Founding head of the Order of the Bomb. You-Tube should have this scene. I would be surprised if it didn't.

The blu-ray version includes the missing scenes (there were two), which were deleted from the original theatrical version but restored for the TV versions shown in the 70's and 80's. not sure what the running time is.

The original theatrical cut is only about 86 minutes long

It wasnt me, it was the other three. Hang them!
