 The original UK cinema release was cut by 5 minutes 42 secs by the BBFC to  remove graphic scenes of rape, disembowelment and a castration, plus genuine  footage of a snake killing a monkey, the killing of a crocodile and an iguana  being eviscerated. The 1987 Elephant video release was cut by an additional 1  sec to further remove the initial knife penetration shot to the crocodiles  head, and the Vipco DVD version features the same edit.
