Recently got my hands on the extended version of The Salute of the Jugger, a very underrated post-apocalyptic sci-fi flick.

Anyone interested in an even more extended version?

The shorter version called The Blood of Heroes in the US runs 90 minutes, has an extra scene that the longer version doesn’t have and ends on a more uplifting ending.
The longer version runs 104 minutes has many scene extensions, longer fight scenes, more character development and a more reflective ending. I much prefer this version.

The sources I have are two Australian DVDs, one of the shorter version (with the Jugger title) and one of the longer version.
I used to have The Blood of Heroes DVD from the US but the picture quality was terrible.

The shorter version has much better picture quality than the extended version so I plan to use the shorter version as the base and add back extended scenes from the other dvd.

Final specs:

  • 4:3 Progressive PAL (I believe both discs are open-matte, so you don’t lose any picture information)
  • Dolby Stereo 2.0
  • Runtime: Approx 101 minutes (PAL runtime)
