 Prior to the films release in Britain in 1971, the BBFC made some cuts to  it. The fight between Franks and Bond was reduced, as was Bonds use of the  fire extinguisher to kill Franks. Towards the end of the film, shots were  reduced of Bond actingly menacingly with a brandy bottle and the sight of Mr.  Kidd jumping over the ships rail was ommitted. These cuts were reinstated  for future VHS and DVD releases.
