How much longer is the uncut fight scene?


The titanic clash between Tessier and Maynard as it stands is, IMO, one of the all-time great fights of the movies.

However, I'm disappointed to learn that the only version of the movie currently available is heavily truncated, and this scene is one that suffered from some paring down. It seems that the original fight was much longer.

Can anybody validate this? If so, would anybody out there be willing to describe just what's been removed?

Cheers.

I don't know what it is about the fight scene, but it still bothers me to this today. I though it was pretty brutal. It reminded me of a retro UFC fight. If my memory serves me, I think the fight was longer. Maybe the VHS tape will have the extended fight scene?
