Scalps

According to director Fred Olen Ray, this film was severely re-edited without his consent by the distributor at the time of its release. Scenes were added out of context which threw off continuity and gave away major spoilers, such as the fates of most of the characters, as well as the shots of chanting Indian ghost's head, which was haphazardly overlayed over such scenes as the old man cutting his own throat. Also, all but one of the scenes showing the ghost with the lion's head were shot as test footage and were never intended to be included in the released film.

Before one man's decapitation, his head comes off before it's supposed to.

Next summer watch for SCALPS II: THE RETURN OF D.J.

According to the director, the "20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition" DVD is the most uncut version presently available, and is a combination of footage taken from a heavily censored German master, a Canadian master and the American VHS release which was the only source he could find for the imfamous scalping scene, this accounts for the wildly varying video quality of the DVD.
