Is the Thai DVD any different from the VCD? Where should the scene of Dr. Akom meeting the crocodile expert go, and is there any footage only found in the Hong Kong print? What language is spoken in this HK print?Also, I have a Dutch-subtitled version of the film and expected it to be the international version, but while it opens up with the naked babes getting eaten, it ends like the US version.
I'm not sure, either. Since the international version is so dizzily edited during the water buffalo scene and because the Thai version is so dark during the same scene, I'm leaving it the way it is on the Thai VCD.

Hi AllenThanks for this! Very interesting suggestion.Of course, we'e very well aware of the film.Unfortunately, the US and ex -UK rights to this are owned by the Estate of the late Herman Cohen. They're not interested in doing a deal on this (or not at any reasonable price) and as it's already out on VCI (albeit in a crap edition), there's much else we can do.It also seems that no-one appears to know where the materials for this film are located - hence the crapness of most of the video versions out there.It's a shame, but not sure what else we can do.Pete
