 The original US release from AIP was a re edited and cut version. AIP created  a new title sequence (dumping the Terry Gilliam animated titles) and removed  some violence and nudity, as well as shuffling a few scenes around. This  version was rated PG and was also released on VHS on the HBO / Thorn label as  well as to TV in a version with even more cuts. In 1995, Orion released an EP  speed VHS tape and went back to the original negative, releasing the original  UK version, seen for the first time in the US. The DVD version is also uncut  and has been rated R by the MPAA.
