This title was originally released in three parts, totalling just under 227 min; the DVD is a 'combi' version of 200 min. and is essentially complete. The discrepancy is accounted-for by the plot-recaps and repeated end-credit sequences in parts 2 and 3. In the breakdown below - taken from the DVD - the VHS parts correspond to, respectively, scc. 1-3, 4-7 and 8-10.

The breakdown only hints at the immense of amount of plot-filler in this title - at a rough estimate no more than 30% of the runtime is devoted to hardcore sex. Presumably this is because the producers started out with a plan to release a side-by-side softcore version. Perhaps as a result of this plan the credits are voluminous and seem to include anyone and everyone, perhaps even passers-by: "Joe Murphy, Petra Vinten, Mercy van Lingen, Rudolf Rogers, Melanie Wilder, Steve Strange, Carlo de Nova, Olaf Tenner, Enrique Diaz de Bethencourt, Katharina Roberts, Amanda Woolbridge, Mihaly Jccsik, Doc Ben, Kitty Leoni, Diederik G.

"and many more"". Fortunately, for our purposes only the first few names merit any serious attention.

In the DVD intro four cast-members are illustrated against their aliases: Mercy, Joey Murphy, Rudolf Rogers and (non-sex) Carlo de Nova.
