 This film was originally made in 1992 in a 50 minute version, which was shown  on BBC TV and also Spanish television. Director Alex Cox wanted to expand the  film to feature length but did not have sufficient financing at the time, and  a few years passed before he could afford to shoot the extra material  required. The newer footage consists mainly of extended monologues to camera  by an older, embittered version of the character of Treviranus, and a  flashback sequence showing the robbery of the Used Money Depository by Red  Scharlachs gang. Of the lead actors, only Miguel Sandoval was available to  reprise his original role, so his screen time is greatly extended in the  feature
