 The UK MIA DVD is completely uncut. The UK version was uncut during its  theatrical exhibition. The video release in 1986 was cut by 2 minutes 6 secs  before the video was submitted for a certificate and has all the violent  scenes cut out. For instance: When Harry Grimbridge is killed, the gruesome  killing of him is cut out. We see the fingers poised and the feet and  Halloween mask moving, and then immediately it shows the assassin wiping his  blood covered gloves on the curtain. When Starker gets decapitated, this  scene including the fountain of blood is cut out. When Marge Guttmans face  explodes, the gruesome insect scene is cut and it just shows her quivering  hands move slowly down her face then it fades out. Although the UK MIA DVD  release in 2000 restored all of the cut scenes the recent 2002 release on the  Sanctuary label has once again removed them.
