Actually, not quite. I have the 88 and 99 minute versions. The 99 minute is cut in the same order as the 103 minute version. [The slashed version, as you probably know, is also out-of-order in some places] but the film quality of the inserted scenes is clearly not as good as the 88 minutes used for the US theatrical release: they're really dark, and one outside night scene [about 90 seconds long] is so scratchy it's practically unwatchable.

I've been trying to find the 103 minute version for a while -- but haven't been able to even in PAL Region-2. I understand it shows up on eBay from time-to-time.

I got mine from a video store going out of business.

I’m one of those “weirdos” who HAS to see the uncut version of *everything*.

It took me years but I finally got hold of the uncensored version of “The Devils” starring Oliver Reed and Vanessa Redgrave.

Well worth the wait, IMO.

The only one I regret was the unrated version of Caligula. [I’m a major Malcolm McDowell/Peter O’Toole fan]

Damn.
That was one brutal, perverse flick.

Gave me nightmares.

Borders was selling a box set [literally...wooden box with wood-burned Wicker Man on it] that had both versions.

It was $50 but I bought it any way.

*Then* somebody did a UK published limited release of the official Wicker Man soundtrack.

Pure bliss and blissiosity.
