 The German TV version removes around 10 minutes of footage after the boat is  sank by the fishmen.  This robs the film of its introduction to the main  characters, and now begins with a fishman killing one of the boats crew (in  the complete version hes looking for food to help the other survivors).  The  German print is also missing the following scene where the other members of  the crew find his body, in order to belatedly introduce them in the scene  after.
