Quotes
Nick Styles: I guess a Beretta in the butt beats a butterfly in a boot, huh?

Earl Talbot Blake: I mean, there we were, both of us... at the beginning of our careers. Then all of a sudden, one of us... took off! Lit up the sky like a meteor. And why? Because he met the other.

Q
What are the differences between the old BBFC 18 Version and the Uncensored Version?
A
A short shot of a butterfly knife being used is missing such as the shot of naked boys on a magazine which has been replaced by an alternative shot. The UK DVD released by Optimum contains the scene with the butterfly knife but still lacks the scene with the porn magazine. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
