cut by 7 minutes 27 secs before submission. The 2001 Vipco DVD issue  restored nearly all of the films prior edits but was cut by 33 secs by the  BBFC with lesser edits made to the poker murder and a throat cutting.  Although willing to release the movie uncut the film had recently been  prosecuted under the Obscene Publications Act following the discovery of  bootleg copies of the uncut version, leaving the BBFC no choice but to cut  the film.
