  • Hey, YAY for mentioning Tony Arzenta! I saw this from the screen coupla years ago, and the damn ending was cut from the start of the wedding. Some shooting was visible, but when the titles suddenly came everybody was thinking there must have been an ending massacre – very mismatching and odd viewing experience.

    Recommended, if you just find a dvd/vhs copy or screening. I did some googling and there seems to be options, some adequate quality (bootlegs?) and OOP Japan edition. And this: http://www.amazon.com/Big-Guns-Collection-Alain… . French dvd seems to be cut: http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?… .
