OVERALL: Blu-ray ALL
Mondo Macabro for the pressed disc, unmodified soundtracks, English subtitles, and English-friendly extras.
GENERAL NOTES:
Although domestic clothed and export unclothed versions were created, only the former has turned up after the film was refused state protection due to charges filed by an extra alleging she has been forced to do nudity (the export version allegedly only included nudity from two other actresses). The clothed version with the English track synchronized was repurposed in English-speaking countries for television sales. -
CUTS:
- Blu-ray ALL Red Case Limited Edition America- Mondo Macabro - No cuts - Spanish clothed domestic version (86:19) including 36 seconds of end credits and 2:37 of exit music on black missing from the 16mm TV print source in various PD box sets.
- Blu-ray ALL Spain- Francisco Herrera - No cuts (82:06) from a 25fps source incorrectly sped up.
