What are the differences between the US Version and Uncensored Version?

About 9 minutes of footage were cut out; most of the missing scenes include plot or comedic elements. Granted, most of the footage that was cut out is not really relevant, still it seems to be unnecessary. Towards the end of the movie there are a few violent sequences that were cut out, which might annoy fans. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.

What are the differences between the Theatrical Version and the Extended Taiwanese Version?

The Taiwanese Version is only available on VHS. Most of the differences in the Taiwanese Version are extended plot scenes and extended shots. Altogether this Extended Version is approx. 2 minutes longer than the well-known Theatrical Cut. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
