Glad you didn't buy it like I bought my Jap DC bootleg. I remember looking through eBay trying to find the workprint of Hard Target and at the time I thought the workprint and the Jap DC were the same thing. Luckily, it didn't cost me too much cash. As I said in my previous post I'm pretty sure that the Jap DC and the official UK release are the same cut. I know the UK version is touted as uncut and is three maybe four minutes longer than the butchered MPAA US version, but not owning the official UK cut, I can't compare the two, although just today I found it cheap on Amazon, so will probably make a purchase in the next few days.

Just found the running time of the UK version, which is 96 mins, the Jap DC bootleg I have clocks in at approximately 99 mins. So, given that the official release is PAL encoded and the bootleg is NTSC and there's a 4%(?) difference in the framerates, how is this calculated if I'm to find out that the bootleg is different from the official version?

Am I making any sense?

With regard to your version of The Killer, I'm afraid I'm no help there.
