Additional material in the IFD version
00:00-01:50 / 00:00

The IFD version starts with an additional ninja scene. A master explains the code of their community as well as the usual blah-blah on how invincible they are. Richard Harrison sits directly in front of them and Shima (Yasuaki Kurata) from the original film is cut briefly into some room in between. This is followed by the title insertion over an additional shot of the city.

+ 110,4 sec (= 1:50 min)




The credits following immediately afterwards are different. Of course, the half-English pseudonyms in the IFD are nice.

Shima is pulling down the rope. He looks around a bit and then opens the disc with a suction cup. Silently, he sneaks inside and rolls himself through various offices.

The following pictures inside are crassly darkened in the IFD master. In general, the colors are not so sparkling, see also the scene on the beach a few minutes later.

After an identical outdoor shot, Jenny uses a face mask earlier. In between, Harry enters the house and wanders through several rooms, accompanied by music to build up tension.

Harry and Jenny are smooching in the original version for a while. Then she says that she is not taking the pill right now. Harry is unimpressed. After the sexual act, there is some discussion about whether it should be a boy or a girl. Suddenly, the phone rings and the not yet dead Shima is on the line. After a short complaining, there is another sex scene between Shima and Sarah.


In the IFD version instead, an additional scene in which the bald man picks up drugs from a dark-skinned man - which he curiously conjures up in masses from the corner of his mouth. Suddenly, Richard appears with an entourage and since the baddies naturally resist arrest, a short fight ensues. Richard arrests the bald man, his colleagues take him and his accomplices away.
This is followed by another drug deal on a bridge, which is also stopped by Richard and a colleague.

In the following scene, Harry's telephone calls from his bed are interrupted only in the IFD version by several cuts to Richard. He explains the background of the drug case there and orders Harry to the office.

Instead, the original version stays with Harry, who initially expects the opponent from the previous scene. Since he is also called to the office by the boss, his tone of voice changes.

From here on, there will be several re-cuts to Richard in the IFD version and again to the projector. For this, comments of the colleagues present from the original version were also ignored occasionally. In general, the meaning was of course completely changed here.
