I saw the original film in an inner city Seattle theater circa 1972. I had no idea that a later version had been released. There was a home video release of THE FINAL COMEDOWN, possibly under an alternate title, but I'd bet that the VHS was struck from the 1972 release version.
Ernest Robinson had also appeared in the similarly endangered acid western, "The Dream of Hamish Mose"
