 The original UK cinema version was uncut. The video version, however, had  around 5 cuts totalling 54 seconds. Scenes trimmed inlcude a hand being  pinned to a wall with a meat cleaver, a weapon being fashioned from a  handkerchief and a pool ball, and part of the final fight scene. When it was  shown on Skys movie channels, these scenes were all present, but other  violent footage had been trimmed. The version shown on network TV in the UK  (Channel 5) also had some of the missing material, but again, at the expense  of other edits.  In August 1999, the British Board of Film Classification  passed a widescreen version of the film for video, which is apparently uncut,  being 54 seconds longer than the version which they cut for video in 1991.
