AIn several European countries, e.g. France, Italy and Germany, a heavily shortened version, the so-called European Cut, was released that runs nearly 19 minutes shorter than the original Thai Version. Mostly the plot was streamlined but there are also some violent scenes that were cut out of the European Version. A different soundtrack was also used. A very detailed comparison between both versions, split in two parts, can be found here (Part 1) and here (Part 2).
