Anchor Bay also touted their Hell Of The Living Dead as released for the first time uncut. But, save for the widescreen and cleaned up print, which you can FINALLY see what's going on, it's as uncut as the Night Of The Zombies Vestron Home Video print, which was the same as the Creature Features print, which was used for the Cydonia DVD release. Other than the widescreen and clean up, the only difference is the title card, and a few extra notes of music in the closing credits.
The copy of Nightmare City that appears on the Anchor Bay DVD is the same I've always seen. On the German DVD (Laser Paradise?) Grossgrangrif Der Zombies from about 1999, the New Star City Of The Walking Dead VHS from 1988, and Continental's VHS release under the City title were all the same content, just presented differently. e.g. Nightmare City was letterboxed and cleaned up, the German DVD apparently, which I believe had the Nightmare City title card, used a Japanese print with subtitles burned in to the original print, and the two VHS releases were the same full screen print. Even down to the title screen with the R rating on it. Yes, apparently, this uncut movie was just rated R. :) There has been lots of talk about edited and unedited versions, but, all versions I've seen since about 1987 were the same. So, it highly unlike all of these were cut versions.
Now, as for the topless woman discussed, this always made me wonder... what WERE those creatures doing? LOL If they are blood drinkers and not flesh munchers, why attempt to tear open her stomach or chest as they appeared to want to? Simple: it makes a good excuse to show a topless lady. ;) Such as the nipple rip in the TV studio. It makes little sense to do that to a victim whom you are attacking for their blood, i.e. why spill so much? But, it makes for damn fine exploitation. :D
