Does anyone know if there is a proper release of this title somewhere? Australia or Asia, perhaps?
Columbia reportedly spent $9,000,000 to make March Or Die, which was a HUGE budget back in 1970s. The film was trimmed of footage just before release. The theatrical release was 104 minutes. It failed miserably at the box office, reporting a paltry return of $1,000,000. A longer and differently edited version aired once or twice on television, although I did not see it myself.
Does anyone know what the correct, full-length running time is supposed to be?
Columbia / Sony released March or Die on a double-feature disc with The Domino Principle. Customers complained that both films are in poor quality, pan & scanned, and in the case of March Or Die, cut. But constant references to the longer version suggest that it is in release somewhere.
March or Die (Dick Richards, 1977) widescreen, uncut?

Re: MARCH OR DIE (Columbia, 1977) -- widescreen, uncut?
The UK disc is cropped down to 1.77:1(16x9) from 2.35:1. There are no obvious signs of censorship, but it is apparently the shorter (release?) version. Bloody awful film, I have to say
