ALTERNATE VERSIONS

Below are details of the cuts/versions of the film in various countries. Someday I wish to do a more detailed section but until then this will have to do!

Australia Rating: R

Canada The 1986 video release on Media Home Entertainment has most of the gore removed.

Denmark Rating: 16

Finland Rating: K-18

France Rating: -12

Germany Rating: 18 The earlier video version is cut, with all of the gore missing. The later Astro Video version is uncut.

Ireland Rating: 18

Japan The sequence where Sarah has to hack off Miguel's arm was trimmed for the laserdisc issue. The brief shot of the machete entering the arm has been removed and the accompanying sound effect moved back to the following close up of Sarah's shocked face. The female vocalist heard during the end credits is notable by her absence in the laserdisc version.

Norway Rating: banned

UK Rating: 18 For many years, the only version legally available in the UK was cyt by around 5 minutes. In 1998, 4-Front video released a completely uncut version on video for the first time. All subsequent video and DVD versions are uncut.

USA Rating: unrated
