1. Iguana (1988)
Note: If you want to know how I saw the 102 minute version of China 9. Liberty 37 (1978), the answer is TCM’s showing of it back during September 7th, which aired after midnight. Hopefully, with TCM’s showing of it in that format, a DVD company will release it in that form and not the chopped 78 minute version, which pales in comparison.
