The film would be a tad esoteric for regular mainstream tastes. Those that appreciate original and intelligent film-making needn't look any further than EGIB.
Diminutive Blake holds it all together and the support cast is exceptionally solid too.

The vhs contained an extra close up Wintergreen's demise by shotgun
, gory Peckinpah style. It was cut to obtain a PG rating, which was still pushing the boundary. The fate of our tiny hero has always been the same.

I believe that's the version I have seen.

My blu-ray doesn't contain the extra shot. I ordered it from the US.

Is yours from the US? I have watched both a region A and region B blu ray and they are the same.

I don't have a DVD, I watched it in the cinema only.

You mean you loved the film, not that you own it on disc? Gotcha!

Some deluded moron on drugs obviously did this insane poster.

On IMDB, it was apparently known as
The Legend Of Big John
upon a reissue. It doesn't mention this title, which is ludicrous. Both are. It does look like an authentic US movie poster.

It might be authentic, but it's still
insane
and wildly inaccurate.

It's terrible and misrepresentative.
The film wasn't a big hit. It was released in 70mm in some locations apparently.

Do you recall a reissue of the movie, if you saw upon initial release?

No I do not. I saw the original in the local cinema.

I was way too young considering the rating it had where I was living, R16.

Great film and there is a new blu ray coming out in a few weeks.
