Q
What are the differences between the British BBFC 18 Version and the Uncensored Version?
A
Due to Britain's Animal Act all animal snuff scenes had to be removed but there are also other sex and gore scenes missing. The British VHS by Vipco does feature some alternate shots that can't be found in the uncensored version. A detailed comparison between both cuts with pictures can be found here.
