Running Time


I saw this from a download from Blockbuster at Home and it was only 70min. The IMDB time is 95min. This version must have been edited by Disney. It has very little nudity or gore. Has anybody seen the the 95 min version to say what was missing? This short version is not worth watching.

I just saw this via EPIX and the runtime was also 70 minutes...though it seems "cut" in some places, but it looked like it was edited for VIOLENCE more then SEX.

According to one of the reviewers, there are actually 3 versions of the film, the one you & I saw (70 minute cut) a 93 minute Producer's cut (released by Synapse Films apparently) and a XXX version. The latter was made after the fact to throw in French p0rn theaters, but apparently the actual actors came in to do the hardcore THEMSELVES, including Franco himself!...which I find unusual.

Netflix has the 1 hour 35 minute version, but it must be out of print or not replaced now because it had a "Very Long Wait" status (however I got it within a few days of putting it at the top of my queue). My guess is that the really long close up and zoom shots of mons pubis were taken out and possibly one particularly grisly moment of one of the sacrifices. The disc has an interview with Franco that I have yet to watch, but the presence of that leads me to believe that it must be the first cut before heavy editing (including both the sanitization AND the hardocre inserts).
