Yep. When trying to find the footage for the 2 disc dvd edition, they discovered it was all ruined sadly.
The producer once said at a comic con event that he had a VHS tape of a work print but nothing was ever mentioned again.
I believe Shout Factory had a good rummage when preparing their Blu-ray bit also came up empty.
I found a forum posting years ago where the second unit director described all the gory hell shots and how they used physically disabled people with missing limbs to achieve the effects. Sounded brutal.
Yeah I’d kill for that Directors Cut but from what I’ve heard it might have literally been destroyed
The reels were kept in a salt mine that was too humid
