 When reclassified by the BBFC in 2000 the nunchaku weapon was no longer  deemed a problem to pass on film following a weapons rethink in 1999. The  BBFC waived the 28 seconds of cuts made to previous versions. Dreamscape was  cut for the UK cinema upon original release in 1984 and video issues also  suffered the same edits. The scene on the train where Alex meets Tommy is  shorter as it features the infamous nunchaku, which rarely made it onto the  British Screen at this time. This scene can be seen in the TV version which  was shown on BBC1 albeit minus a few "strong" words. When the BBFC  reclassified the film in 2000 under newer guidelines the nunchaku was no  longer a problem and they waived the aforementioned cuts.
