FAQ
- I have the Italian version (sent by mistake by the seller; NO English audio/subtitles) that lists the film's time as 157 minutes, I have a Blu-Ray with English subtitles that lists the time as 140 minutes. I've tried to find an extra 17 minutes in the Italian version, but just don't see any differences. Is the 157 minutes an error?
- What are the differences between the R-Rated Version and the Director's Cut?
