Thanks very much!
Wrong link for subs
On the Region 1 Sony DVD the 2.35:1 desaturated colour print is edited for content, reducing the f-bomb count to 2. There also seem to be problems with the word "scumbag" which is largely changed to "ratbag" or "dirtbag". This version also only run 118 minutes. The 1.85:1 b&w print on the other side of the disc runs the full 124 minutes, and is unedited. There does not seem to be an unedited, 2.35:1 b&w print available.
The B&W is supposed to be 2hr4m
I love this film. Absolutely riveting, and funny as all get-out. What's more, it's actually a true story... you need to file it in the 'Couldn't Make it up' drawer...
