In the States the movie was first released in a censored R-Rated version that was later published on VHS as well. Later several VHS and DVD releases included the completely uncensored Unrated Version that features 11 extended violent scenes.
In Britain the Unrated Version was released on DVD as well after a row of censored versions on VHS and in cinemas. First of all the British Theatrical Version was shortened by 44 seconds (at 24 FPs). This results in a total of 38,5 seconds (PAL) in missing footage. The BBFC rated this version X, which is the equivalent to the BBFC-18 rating that was introduced later). Before the film was again submitted to the BBFC for a VHS-release, Alpha Vision/Intervision released the theatrical version as a so called Pre Cert-version on VHS (Pre Cert = Pre Certification). Again one can find a comparison between the old Theatrical Version and the Unrated Version with pictures here.
Sometime later in the UK the film was released in an official BBFC-version on VHS by the label Starvision as well as by Braveworld. For the BBFC-18 rating the BBFC demanded further cuts with a total length of 2 min, 54 sec.
