* ReCut: Due to a TroubledProduction and ExtremelyLengthyCreation, there are at least '''FIVE''' different cuts of the film:
** The 1995 ''Semaforo rosso'' (English: "Red Traffic Light") cut, which was supervised by actress Lea Lander's company Spera Cinematografica. This version adds newly-shot inserts and cutaway footage to connect scenes, ends [[spoiler:on a still frame of Riccardo with a police siren in the background.]] Lamberto Bava disowns this version.
** The 1998 cut released by Lucertola Media, which removes the inserts but adds a new prologue of [[spoiler:the kidnapped boy's mother,]] and keeps the original ending of [[spoiler:Riccardo driving away with the boy, without a siren.]]
** The 2001 cut released by Astro Media. This version does not contain the prologue [[spoiler:with the mother]], and has a slightly-extended ending.
** The "Leone" cut, which was created by producer Alfredo Leone. This version adds back some of the "Spera" insert footage, two new scenes near the end, and ends with [[spoiler:a close-up of the kidnapped boy's mother.]]
** The ''Kidnapped'' cut, which is based on the "Leone" cut and was supervised by Lamberto Bava. This version adds stock footage of 1970s police cars and new scenes shot on 35mm. It also has an all-new soundtrack, with a new score by the original composer and re-recorded dubbing.

''Rabid Dogs'' is a 1974 movie directed by Creator/MarioBava. Unlike the horror films he is most famous for such as ''Film/BlackSunday'' and ''Film/BlackSabbath'', this is a gritty, grimy crime thriller with the plot concerning a trio of thugs who take a man and his ill child and a woman hostage and make them drive the gang to safety.
Bava died before the movie was finished. So his son Lamberto ended up shooting a few scenes and finished the movie for him. It is now regarded as one of the best thrillers with a TwistEnding to make M Night blush.

Originally filmed in 1973, ''Rabid Dogs'' sat on TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment due to complicated rights issues stemming from the producer going bankrupt. The film didn't see the light of day until 1995, when a rough cut was screened at a festival in Milan, and an official release supervised by Bava's son Lamberto eventually followed in 1998.
