I believe that marketing Films or some other German film company released at least an abridged version of his World War 2 film "Cross of Iron" (a film from the german perspective of the war).

"Major Dundee" was released as a 400ft digest and also a 200ft "Making of" short about the work of the stuntmen on the picture.

The making of Major Dundee, called Riding For a Fall, is an excellent short and well worth hunting down.

In Germany Sam Peckinpah's "Convoy" was released by UFA as a 3x 400ft digest. The cuts of this version are very good.

Michael

Mark,
I would like to have an full length print (in scope). But it was never released on Super 8. [Frown]

The UFA-Version is letterboxed.

Hi,

the Super8-version of "straw dogs" can even be found on this DVD (unfortunately only in its telecined form):
http://www.libri.de/shop/action/productDetails/6611466/sam_peckinpah_straw_dogs_wer_gewalt_saet_uncut.html

This DVD has got a "twenty-minute excerpt from Mike Siegel’s documentary Passion & Poetry- The Ballad of Sam Peckinpah and the original featurette "Riding for a Fall" in black-and-white 16mm and color Super-8 options.":
http://www.altfg.com/blog/film-reviews/major-dundee-sam-peckinpah-charlton-heston/

According to this page UFA's digest of "Convoy" was made by UFA and hence is not just a "Ken film with UFA-logo and German soundtrack":
http://www.super-8-hobby.de/rezent347.htm

Marketing's 3*110m Super8-version of "the iron cross" is mentioned here as released in 1980:

Wasn't "Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid" also available as a digest?
