 The UK cinema version was cut by the BBFC to heavily edit scenes of gore,  including shots of legs being bitten off, a car being destroyed by the  alligator and victims being eaten alive during the garden party attack, and  to remove one instance of the word fuck in order for the film to receive an  A (PG) certificate. The cuts were waived in 1991 when the certificate was  raised to a 15, and all subsequent releases are fully uncut.
