Force 10 from Navarone (1978) More at IMDbPro »

• The original release ran 118 minutes. A restored 126 minute version, has additional footage; however, a few short scenes have been removed; a few scenes have been re-edited into different portions of the film; some dialog was removed; some dialog was redubbed. Among the additions are:
  • An introduction hosted by a man with a British accent
  • A scene where Schroeder thanks Bauer for daily reports before entering his bedroom.
  
  
  
• The European 2005 DVD release (by Sony, not MGM) contains only the extended version, but a different one from the US release. It has a new credit sequence set against a background of changing lights and shadows - just like during the end credits.
  
  
• The UK cinema version was cut for an 'A' (PG) certificate by the BBFC to remove shots of Maritza being beaten and kicked, and to reduce the decapitation of a German motorbike rider. The cuts were restored in later upgraded releases.
  
  
• The DVD release from MGM contains both the 118-minute version (in standard format) and the longer 126-minute version (in widescreen).
  
  
• The 118 minute version has the American International logo, an American voice narrating the introduction, a "silly-ass" British voiceover saying "Mallory, Miller, good to have you aboard. We thought for a moment we left you on Navarone." when they are pulled out of the water, and an Eastmancolor credit. The 126 minute version has a Columbia logo, British narrator in the opening, no voiceover, and a Technicolor credit.
