Running time

I am looking at this message board because I'm transferring my old VHS copy of this movie (recorded off the air in 1985 with commercials cut) to DVD and I pressed STOP on my recorder with the timer reading 2:19. The info about this movie says running time of 94 minutes. If that is the running time of the prerecord then what is the difference between that version on the TV release? I see that IMDb dosn't have an alternate version listed. (I don't think I missed any commercial breaks...)

You are right the film was 3 hours with commercials. The imdb used to have the right time, but someone with a VHS copy only must've changed it. I have the orginal TV guide article that lists the time of the film.

I've been looking for a full version for years. Do you want to trade?

The vhs was heavily cut from the original this is the time shown on IMDB.
