The British distributor High Fliers Films wanted to release the movie in Britain with the more desirable BBFC 15 rating. But after an examination, the BBFC 15 was declined and the movie received the BBFC 18 rating. So High Fliers Films decided to "defuse" it. Severed heads, body parts flying through the air, disembowelment or blood fountains have all not been the cause for the higher rating in this case, but rather one little word, the word cunt.
