Just wanted to pre-empt the likely deletion of this as a duplicate.

The Amputee was produced in order to test two different black and white video stocks for the American Film Institute. There are therefore two slightly different versions of the film, each using the same script but shot on different stocks and differing in other incidental ways in terms of performance, sound design and duration.

The two versions were released as Version 1 and Version 2.
