Runtime and Versions
According to the German language Wikipedia, the German theatrical cut was shortened from 77 to 61 minutes, but a later TV version for channel ZDF created by Hans Schipulle (a documentary filmmaker and dubbing producer) was extended by using scenes from Schwarzen Adler von Santa Fe, Die, and a new opening credits sequence and completely new title melodie. This resulting 75min version is available on DVD and also known as the "extended version", it lists "Clint Reinard" as an additional director. This background is the reason the SWDb lists this as a Eurowestern, a definition only this extended cut meets somewhat.
