Note: Not the best VHS transfer for this movie I’m afraid, the image is quite jerky and the subtitles sometimes fade with the background so it’s hard to read them, if I find a better quality copy in the future I’ll upgrade it.

      That’s interesting, I think it is the full version, does your version have scenes that aren’t included on this copy? Do you remember where did you record your copy from? The version released on VHS in the U.S. is also 97 minutes so same runtime as this one.
