There's even a picture of Watkins taken in 2001 and the detailed history of the film that was restored, lost, cut, lost again, restored from a Spanish print with gore intact then eventually losta again!

There's another great article on that in the (I think) first issue of Flesh and Blood magazine, produced in the UK in the 90. I'm not sure if it had any US distribution but if you like Sleazoid Express you'd love it. I'm not a big fan of LH but the whole backstory is pretty fascinating.
Anyway, watched this yesterday
Local Hero (10/10)
A completely irrational 10/10 but it's a film I still get nothing but joy from, even after seeing it countless times. Just a really lovely film.
