Alternate versions
The 2005 DVD of Point Blank includes two versions of the featurette "The Rock" which are quite different from each. The DVD menu labels them "The Rock Pt. 1" and "The Rock Pt. 2" but that is misleading; the films themselves both have the on-screen title "The Rock", and really they are just two very different cuts of the same film. One version, at Title 8 of the DVD, has a running length of about 7.5 minutes (7:31) while the other version, at Title 9 of the DVD, is around 9 minutes (8:49). It is the longer version, at Title 9, which includes the footage of former Alcatraz prisoner John Giles.
