Q
What are the differences between the British BBFC 18 Version and the Uncensored Version?
A
Two different BBFC 18 versions have been released in the UK. The old one misses out more than four and a half minutes of footage, some animal cruelty and mostly the usage of some martial arts weapons. This version was released on VHS and later on DVD by MIA. A detailed comparison between this version and the uncensored version with pictures can be found here.A couple of years later Optimum Home Entertainment released a new BBFC 18 version on DVD that misses out only on scenes depicting animal cruelty. Again one can find a detailed comparison with pictures here.
