They are 1, 1.5, 2 and 3.  1.5 is a "Special Longer Edition" containing
the good portion of the extra footage that was shown in the ABC telecast.
Unfortunately, some cretin at Paramount munged the sound on 1.5, so I
still play the original.

The movie makes much more sense with the extra material; I think it would
have been more successful if it had been originally released that way.

There is a real hooter of a shot in 1.5 that shows the scaffolding,
as well as some instantaenous space suit substitutions on Krik's part.
