A ver si lo entiendo:


Hay un montaje, pre-estreno, de 96 minutos.

Hay un montaje, de estreno en Inglaterra, de 82 minutos.

Hay un montaje, de estreno en Estados Unidos, de 82 minutos, pero que parece no coincidir con el previo.

Y hay un montaje, de re-estreno en Estados Unidos, de 96 minutos, pero que no parece coincidir con el primero...

Así es, Bela. Aún te falta el montaje que hay aquí para que solo exista una edición en BD-r. en total, cinco montajes

Esta sería una buena edición para que los de A Contracorriente nos la trajeran por aquí... ¿Alguien que tenga contacto con ellos se la podría insinuar...?

Se lo he preguntado por twitter. A ver qué me dicen.

Tened en cuenta que a A contracorriente, el fantástico no les hace mucho tilín...

Aunque, en todo caso, veo inviable que en este país pueda editarse un título como este, con cuatro montajes diferentes, y todos esos extras. Puestos a ser más realistas, yo sacaría el montaje de siempre, acompañado, eso sí, del más extenso. Y los extras que fueran factibles...
