Tell me something Mark,the scene where they are transplanting the monster's hands and Briant states he can't hold the vein and stitch it at the same time,so Cushing demands a glass of water and holds the vein between his teeth as hi hands are knackered.
I don't recall seeing this before and I have owned the Terrorvision vhs(Which if I remember right,was butchered),the DD UK DVD the Dutch DVD and the German Hammer Edition dvd (Which tbh I haven't watched for a few years).
I'll need to double check the German disc,which is supposedly uncut....But I definitely don't remember that scene....
Anyway-Daemonia-big fan of this-grab one mate you won't be disappointed.
It's region B as well.  |
The original DD Home Entertainment release was also missing the artery clamping,but after complaints a replacement was offered restoring the footage (also missing from the 'R' rated dvd release from Paramount).Unfortunately the 'restored' DD release was still missing the following:
A side shot of Briant popping in one of the monsters eyes & a zoom out from the empty socket prior to this.
A second shot of the bloody stumps of Bernard Lee's hands when the lid comes off his coffin.
A side shot of Briant sawing at the professor's head during the brain sugery scene.
The longer shot of the asylum director's gory throat wound
Shots of the feet of asylum inmates stomping on the creature's innards as well as C-U footage of some of them holding chunks/organs of the creature.
AFAIK all the above is in the German dvd release bar the complete shot of the asylum director's throat wound.
