Karkavan Film, specialized in distributing films to the Turkish population in West Germany, distributed the movie there in 25-09-1985; the film was indexed by the BPjM, that is, considered dangerous to minors for its representation of violence under paragraph 131 of the Penal Code, and thus its advertising and distribution became virtually impossible. On September 25, 1989, the film was confiscated by the authorities. As of November 30, 2010, under new regulation of Germany's BPjM, the film is classified as B, meaning the BPjM believes that film violates criminal law for violence representation and is very harmful to young people. Meanwhile, in Turkey, the film was shown in a channel television station, Flash TV (2005) with several minutes less and different editing, and is said to have or two releases in DVD.
