 SPOILER: MGMs R1 DVD carries the films original PG rating, but includes  instances of violence and gore previously unseen in the U.S. and Canada.  After Achilles robot falls on the spectators, there are more shots of both  Gary Grahams bloody face and of the dead bodies in the stands. A news  broadcast immediately following now opens with a badly burned man screaming  in pain for a couple of seconds. Also, when the traitorous Tex shoots  scientist Matsumoto in the head, blood sprays on the wall behind the latter.  In the old version (released theatrically by Epic and on tape and laserdisc  by RCA/Columbia), Tex pulls the trigger and it instead cuts to a recycled  shot of an exploding robot on a video monitor; the bloodstained wall is never  shown. The bits in question are included on the Japanese DVD, so apparently  American and Canadian audiences are only now getting the cut of the movie  that the rest of the world has enjoyed for years. The MPAA database indicates  that ROBOT JOX was originally rated PG
