 The long sought after Japanese laserdisc is the same version as the US video  tape, However it does feature one difference. Before the film begins their is  a scrolling monologue that talks about the dangers of the American Grizzly  bear, and goes on to say that "the events in the film have become all too  common".  Also the beginning and end credits are fully letterboxed. For the  record, the film was released by Columbia pictures overseas and this may  explain why this monologue does not appear in the US version of the film.
