Just out of curiosity, how many seconds of footage were cut? Was the movie shot open matte? Is there a possible PAL DVD release overseas that isn't cut?
The only LD release was in 1985, and it's analog sound sound only, with no CX noise reduction. A Beta Hi-Fi might sound better.

I'm willing to help with a capture though.
