In 2008, a workprint had leaked out online. This workprint only runs for about 36 minutes and contains only the first 21 minutes and the last 13 minutes of the movie. The workprint is severely degraded, with the audio being very grainy and the picture quality being very low. There is also a time code and reel changes throughout. The music is alternate as well and some special effects are incomplete. The audio also cuts out at random times as well as the picture due to damage of the VHS tape.
