has there been a good solid release for this? I am thinking about getting it, and all I have been able to find is 2 companies who have put out full screen editions, some region 2's and one unauthorized release? any help is appreciated

I have the Reg 2 BLOOD EDITION which is uncut, fullscreen.

I really don't think much is lost in the framing.

The uncut print is culled from different sources. The picture quality drops a notch during these brief scenes. There is also a deleted scene I had never seen before as a supplement.

Until Anchor Bay or someone else releases it here in the States, this isn't too bad of a copy.

what about this edition I've seen that says "special edition" on the side. how is that?

I have it. It's in no way Special.

VHS-ype quality and DD 2.0 Stereo sound.

But it is better than the VHS.

So if you find it for under 7 bucks, get it.

This was the last watchable movie from the series IMO. I hope someone eventually puts out a decent OAR version of this, since it's the only one missing. I'd love to replace my old P&S laser.
