AYes, there is a Workprint available. Compared with the Unrated Version, however, this Workprint seems rather half-baked. Most of the cuts are quite short, but in the action scenes they eliminate a lot of the "idling" parts, so that the film ultimately seems much action-packed and better. Due to the alternative beginning and alternative ending (and perhaps also the completely new hospital scene), the workprint is certainly an interesting version for fans. Unfortunately, its quality is very bad (as one can see on the pictures below), so that one can very often not distinguish anything. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
QIs the US R-rated version completely uncensored? How about the British BBFC 18 VHS?
ATo put it simply: No, there are longer versions available as legit releases. The German and Dutch DVDs feature an unrated version of the Dolph Lundgren starrer that runs a couple of seconds longer - about 15 seconds - and features some more bloody shoot-outs and other prolonged violent scenes. A detailed comparison with pictures between the R-rated version and the unrated version can be found here.The old British BBFC 18 VHS is censored as well, missing 66 seconds of violent shots.

Qis the us r-rated version uncensored?
Ano, but taking it a step further, compared to the uncut version i own, the recent Austrian 2 dvd set .. the unrated lbx version is cut by aprox. 6 seconds.I do like the workprint on this set for the rarity for completists of this under-rated film.
