I'm sorry to say that the Vipco release is cut but only by 14seconds to part of a rape scene that the guys at the BBFC seem to hate.If you do want to see this movie I would suggest ordering the USA release from Blue Underground which is region 0 NTSC and is fully uncut.It also has a full length audio commentary form the director and the anamorphic 1.85:1 widescreen transfer is excellent.Not as violent as you would expect.Just a few bullet squibs are used and not enough for my liking,some scenes show guys geting shot over aand over but with no impact wounds.If your into this type of thing I would recommend Contraband which is Lucio Fulci's only crime movie.This is unavailable in the UK but again Blue Underground have a region 0 DVD that you can get for around 6quid of Amazon.co.uk.Hope I have been of help mate!!
share^^^^ It's not that bloody, but there are plenty of shoot-outs and two rape scenes. One of the rape scenes is especially drawn out.
shareThats the one that is cut on the UK release.The one with the child is odd and disturbing.If you listen to the commentary with Enzo G on the Blue Underground DVD you will find out that it is his daughter playing the girl!!
shareHey i just watched this... I love it, this film is the business. *beep* Vipco & buy the blue underground version (http://www.blue-underground.com/) they always knock out superior transfers
