I seem to recall some time ago on this board someone had mentioned the full-length version (or near enough) of the above film being available on DVD somewhere. I've seen the Japanese release (not cheap) but I also thought that I'd read someone saying it had appeared in a box set somewhere (possibly not billed as such) but I can't for the life of me remember where. Can anyone enlighten me as to this or any other release of the full length version of this movie? Thanks in advance.

I believe it's available uncut in the US as part of this box set:

Sonny Chiba Action Pack: Virus/Golgo 13/Bullet Train

That'll be the one - thanks!

Is it OOP then? Seems to be widely available but not so much new. Not that I'm fussy, I'm just curious.

It's got to be better than the version I've got, even though it's full-length, so I'm going to give it a try. They put out a really nice dvd a few years ago, but it was just for Asia and I don't have an all-region player.

I got mine through Amazon, and is it nice having a great print of the full-length version, with pretty much everyone over-acting their way through it. Especially Henry Silva! I love this movie!
