- Originally a four-episode anthology released in Japan at 183 minutes. The USA version removes the second episode, starring Keiko Kishi and Tatsuya Nakadai, in order to shorten the running time to 125 minutes.
- A 161 minute version with all four stories present, but shortened, was released on LaserDisc and DVD as a part of the Criterion Collection (35mm prints of this version were also made by Janus Films). The Region 2 Masters of Cinema DVD was the first video release to contain the full 183 minute original cut of the film. That complete version has now been made available on Blu-Ray by Criterion and Masters of Cinema in the US and UK respectively.
