Stone

Four hundred real bikers participated as extras in the famous highway funeral procession sequence seen at the beginning of this film.

The original Australian theatrical cut ran 132 minutes, but director Sandy Harbutt was unhappy with this version: due to the film's hastened post-production, he was unable to properly view it in its entirety, and deemed the finished result overlong. When optioned for video release by Roadshow Home Video, Harbutt requested that he re-cut the film so that it reflected his original vision. The original Australian video release (circa 1985) runs 98 minutes and carries a "Director Approved" message coupled with Harbutt's signature. It is this significantly shorter "Director's Cut", which saw a 1995 21st Anniversary re-release through Premium Films, that has remained in circulation since. The scenes exclusive to the theatrical version would not be made commercially available until they were presented as a special feature of Umbrella Entertainment's 2021 Blu-ray release of the film.
