New Blu-Ray release not the fully UNCUT version?


The Greek version has a running time of 95 minutes and the upcoming Shout! Factory release indicates a running time of 91 minutes.

The Shout Factory "uncut" version is Michael Winner's complete director's cut. The VHS version released only in Greece contained one deleted scene (a dinner vignette between Bronson and Ireland) and some extended (dialogue-only) scenes in the mid-section of the film. The deletion and trims were made by Winner himself to tighten the film's mid-section. The uncut version that Shout Factory is releasing is the definitive, final director's cut that Winner wanted. The Greek VHS version is an alternate, hybrid version. The Greek VHS version is NOT Winner's intended final cut and should NOT be considered as the "uncut version."
