          • Alternate versions
            The DVD version of this film that was released by Something Weird Video in 2001 included the film as it was originally released in theaters, plus a special feature (one of many) of over 30 minutes of deleted scenes, including a completely different ending, which had been removed from the original film that it had been before and then were replaced with new scenes that were added into it by its co-writer, M. A. Ripps, that had both completely different characters and new subplots.
