Original German version was released to cinemas with a "Not under 16" rating and a running time of 127 minutes. Several years later the film was re-released in a cut version with a different ("funnier") dubbing. This version was rated "Not under 12". Since then only the cut version was shown on TV or available on home video. In 2003 German distributor e-m-s released the original version of the film to fans who had to mail in 8 coupons which could be found in other Spencer/Hill DVDs of the company.
