Somewhere along the line I believe I read that the watertower was cut short due to one of the stunt men getting injured.

This is reviewed in the April Widescreen Review Sound gets 2.5 and picture 3 Mono and Stereo soundtracks Problems with a crackling sound in both. Out of sync problems in both. Strident highs in mono Stereo is overbalanced to the right.
