I've heard RZA's original cut of this was 4 hours, and he wanted to release it as 2 films Kill Bill style, but was forced to cut down to 90 minutes by Roth and the studio (storming out of the editing room for 2 weeks at one point). While that version is probably still not a masterpiece, I suspect this explains a lot of the narrative issues.

It would be fun to have an "original cut" film festival, seeing the first version before a film was destroyed, or saved, by having it taken away from the director.
