Mine arrived a bit belated, opening sequence also in B&W. So I'm still curious for the corrected monochrome version, may it be in Sepia or Golden Yellow.
Checked the film and it looks uncut to me, I didn't feel like anything was missing. Even the first HOTEL sign shot is there.
Plus the nicest "framing" I saw so far. I thought it might be of some interest to people to actually see how much "More Beyond" they get from Arrow.
A few screencaps from the same shot are attached below, in the following order:
1. Anchor Bay / Grindhouse US-DVD(s)
2. Italian, French, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish DVDs (from the same master)
3. Arrow Video DVD
It's especially fun to directly compare them. Download the pics and switch back-and-forth between the Anchor Bay and Arrow one, there's quite some "Zoom" effect.
