What's up with the running times listed on IMDB??

IMDB lists the running time at 92 minutes, with a cut version of 88 minutes. The only version I know is the 88 minute US VHS. Is there a "released" version that runs 92 minutes?? Or is it just another "troll" putting false running times on IMDB??

It would make sense that the workprint runs 92 minutes, the released version runs 88 minutes and there is no 86 minute version.... anyone know if that is correct??

Encore version I just watched was slightly less than 90 minutes.
What would I have seen in the slightly longer version?

As far as I know... there is only 1 released version (which runs 88 or 89 minutes)... there is a "bootleg" of the workprint version (if it is on DVD, it's a bootleg)... it has a few violent scenes which were cut to receive an "R" rating... info on this "workprint version" is on "movie-censorship.com".

This "workprint version" was never properly "mastered"... so it is of noticeably low quality.
