• The segment "Running Man" made its first US appearance in an episode of Liquid Television (1991) originally broadcast October 20, 1992, in a different, censored English version, narrated by Rafael Ferrer. The whole, uncut anthology with the dub cast listed here was subsequently released theatrically in North America by Streamline Pictures on November 20, 1992 as part of a double feature with Silent Möbius (1991).
