Yeti: The Giant of the 20th Century - Ultimate Edition [Wicked Vision] in December 21

[Daniel Peree]

Rejoice, the Snowman is coming! This Special Edition marks the European HD premiere of Gianfranco Parolini's ("Commissioner X") masterpiece of bad taste - with exclusive bonus material and in two edited and dubbed versions.

We truly dug deep for this edition and with the help of the film club Buio Omega we were finally able to answer the essential question: "Is it true that there is a version just under 120 minutes long?"

For a long time this was considered an "urban legend", but we can now confirm it: There exists an Italian theatrical print believed lost, with more than ten minutes of alternate shots as well as many frame cuts for the international version. These will now, almost 43 years after the Italian premiere, find their way to the public for the first time in our special features.

This Ultimate Edition is limited to 333 pieces and can ONLY be ordered directly from the Wicked Vision Shop. The set includes a high-quality mediabook, 2 coasters, a poster and five artcards.

The edition is codefree and the Wicked Shop delivers worldwide.
