Info on alternate versions?

There's obviously some different versions of the film in circulation. I was just wondering if anyone has any specific information about the differences. The version which used to air on HBO, for example, was titled SUPER FUZZ -- it had closing credits, and I presume (per the listing here on imdb) that it ran 97 minutes. I just got the widescreen DVD, which has an on-screen title of SUPER SNOOPER, it runs 100 minutes and has no closing credits. I couldn't pinpoint anything specific that was different (it's been eons since I've seen the movie), and unfortunately the prerecorded VHS that I used to own was loaned out long ago and never returned, so I can't compare... I'm not even sure if the VHS was the same as the HBO version (I only watched it once before I foolishly loaned it), but I'm relatively certain that it also had the onscreen FUZZ title and end credits.

I believe that the newest widescreen version is the Super Snooper version that was released overseas. The older Fullscreen DVD and VHS, HBO versions are the United States released version. I would love to see both versions combined. I liked the USA version better, but the extra footage on the newer DVD would be nice to have on that version as well.
