 The original UK cinema version was cut by the BBFC to shorten the beating up  of Bill Carsons woman (reduced to 1 slap), remove the scene of Mario Bregas  head being battered against a rock by Tuco, and to extensively shorten the  torture and beating of Tuco by around 2 minutes (much of the scene was  completely cut from the film). The cuts were fully restored in the 1999 video  release.
