Its really just that I don't think I will enjoy it based on everything I've heard and read, and that I will be fine without watching it since the 2nd one is all I really need to see.
To each their own, so if you like it, great, but I'll just stick with the 2nd one.

That's a whole bunch of bullsh*t the first is the best one.

It's not a Hong Kong ripoff, stupid. It was remastered and released quite GENUINELY by MGM through Deltamac. It's the longest version available, with the clothes ripping scene fully intact.

But don't take my word for it, read it here at dvdbeaver:

Wow, I wasn't aware this version was better. Hopefully this print will be released on BD in the future, probably not in the U.S. though.

You live and learn. Hopefully Universal will release this version on Blu. I hate the shorter cut with the SMart ending.
