What are the differences between the BBFC 18 Version and the Uncut Version?

While the film was released uncut in Germany which led to it being banned pretty quickly, the British decided to cut it before the release. After the tape released by Replay video was put on the list of the infamous Video Nasties, only censored versions have been released on VHS and DVD. The majority of the cuts, however, are due to the, as usual, unnecessary animal-killings. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
