After all these years, I've finally found a copy of this film on E-Bay. Granted, it cost me a whopping $48 with shipping, but it's the original uncut
French language Region 2 DVD release (out of Germany).
I know that the US release of this film has been panned by critics and fans for it's truncated scenes, poor dubbing, and crappy, unfaithful to the source dialogue. However, I remember catching the French version on the midnight movie a couple of times as a kid back in the seventies, and I really liked it then. Plus it has Chris Lee doing his own dialogue in French, no less.
For $48, I'm really hoping this one will have lasted the test of time.
More to come in a coupla weeks when it arrives....
