Thanks in advance

The theatrical French version is hard to find and has a flawed soundtrack mix (which we have fixed) It was released by TFI, I think Amazon France had it but no longer carries it!
The Fullscreen version of the American release is widely available on amazon.com (but I don't recommend it, it is has horrible color, picute, sound and just about everything else!)
The full unrated R-18 British Cut is not available, only in bootlegs my friend! Thus is the reason parts of this extended edit are in fullscreen. Trust us, we would have loved to have a wdescreen 2:35.1 British Cut.

I think a few people in this thread have the french theatrical.
We had to restore all of them first to make this version, this is the reason why this has taken over a year to complete. You can't just piece a film together without all the elements being similar in quality.

Thanks again for the questions and interest. ;-)

Trust me I am excited about this release.

We did create a rough cut that has all the deleted scenes from the SE DVD included in this version but it just didn't work. Deleted scenes are cut for a reason, lol! You'll see this version uses elements that all have been released on film or DVD. Yes, in different forms or versions (ie: British Cut, Jap Cut, etc.) but all released in some form over the years.
