 Abel Ferrara (qv) had to cut approximately 11 minutes of footage from the  final cut due to the restrictions imposed by New World Television on the  running length. A scene where Rick (Ken Wahl (qv)) and Susan  (Nancy Allen (I) (qv)) go out for a meal and debate the motives behind the  gladiator made up the majority of the cut footage; it is unknown whether  future DVD releases will contain missing scenes to this date (May, 2007).
