 The Australian DVD release, although rated R18, cuts the sequence where  Matrix slices off a soldiers arm in the garden shed and also shortens the  shot of Cooke impaled on the wooden spike. However, the shot of the top of  the soldiers head being sliced off in the garden shed is kept in. These cuts  seem odd considering the R18 rating virtually gaurantees that there is no  limit to the violence. The Australian theatrical and video releases, also  rated R18, are uncut.
