I believe IMDB is wrong about the 107 minute runtime.
It refers to the 107 minute one as the Japanese Video version, which is this one. I don't think there is any other cuts.
I just deleted an old divx of the Japanese DVD and it was also 103 minutes.

Off subject: I just rewatched this film last night and was again surprised that in the 'hacking his own brain scene', it's less sensical compared to the U.S. cut.


Hmmm...I hope you're right or else I'll be going nuts looking for yet another cut.

Off subject: I disagree, in the Theatrical it's just a bunch of crazy shit going on with J-Bone giving a play by play ("He's doubling himself! Look!"). In this cut, he gets in there, sets off alarms, battles with the IC of his own implant, and gets the last code piece pretty quickly -- which felt much more satisfying. it also lacked that CGI tricycle and all the lame 8mm footage of his childhood in some generic neighborhood, which i always disliked.
