No idea if Wild East’s statement “Full uncut version” on their website means the release to be exactly like the original US theatrical release or what, but the fact is that this disc is CUT compared to the german e-m-s release.

CUTS:
|
|
* Wild East:
- Starting at about 58:47 approx. 11 seconds of Charlie talking is missing, just before Charlie throws the gun to Ben.
- At about 1:12:29, shortly after the fistfight, right after Charlie takes his hand away from Ben’s shoulder. The clip missing has Ben & Charlie exchanging few words and Charlie turning away and trying to leave and Ben pulling him back again. approx 19 seconds is missing.
- Starting at about 1:17:48, right after Smith has left the bank and walked over the street and camera zooms to the wanted posters. The missing clip has Ben and Smith and the other gang members talking about something for about 53seconds, and after that the same scene continues the same way in both discs. In Wild East disc there is a dialogue going on during the time Smith walks across the street, this probably is something which the gang is talking in german in the longer version.
- Starting at about 1:38:08 approx 21 seconds is missing. This missing clip has a long zoom to Ben’s face and a few seconds of closeup as he’s shouting something to the outlaw waiting in another building.
– Total time of known cuts is 1 minute 44 seconds. But it is possible there are few seconds more that I have missed. It’s not easy to see the exact times of missing footage (the estimates for each clip can easily go half a second wrong to either direction) and since the credits in this seem to be in NTSC speed and the rest of the film in PAL, it causes some problems when comparing the running times.

No known cuts, although I suspect this might be the same version as the Wild East one.
