contract killer

Is there an unrated version of this film?
What are the differences in the unrated versus the R.

If you have a region-free player get the R2 HKL version. It goes by the name Hitman and it's by far the best version out there.

Here's a link to HKL's website where you can propably also order it from. http://www.hongkonglegends.co.uk

As far as the review here states: http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=4256
"Contract Killer" wasn't cut in anyway from the original version. However, it is missing its original language and score, so "Hitman" is the way to go.

According to the packages, "Contract Killer" (false movie title) is 6 minutes shorter than "Hitman" (real movie title).

Actually, "Hitman" isn't even it's real title. It's original title translated is "King of Killers." "Hitman" is it's original English title, and "Contract Killer," is the alternate title Columbia came up with.
