Fallon *Spoilers*


I have read threads on this site that state that a character has his arm cut off with a buzz saw. In the version I saw in the 1980s Norris pushes Fallon back onto the spinning saw blade which makes a wince-inducing sound effect as it goes into his back. Fallon thrashes a little bit and then Norris gets off once Fallon is dead. At what point did Fallon's arm get cut off in this sequence? Also we never see Patsy, Barnyard and Drugstore find his body, once they hear the muffled sound of the still spinning saw when he doesn't make the rendevous the next scene is Norris pouring gasoline on the floor to trap Drugstore. Was his arm cut off during the fight with Norris in the uncut version or later when the others find him (assuming that that scene was cut from the Brit version).

Similarly here's a list of what I think has been cut/ toned down from the Brit version:

* The fight with Leroy's gang
* The rape
* Fallon's death
* Drugstore's Death
* Stegman cutting Norris' wife on the roof just before Norris rushes him and he falls through the skylight
* The gang finding Fallon

before norris pushes fallon back onto the the saw he cuts fallons arm off.
a very bloody scene.
check out the german dvd released by "marketing film".
it is the uncut version in pal (with english dialouge).

Hmmm, interesting because the version I saw was obviously an alternate take then. Norris elbows Fallon in the face as he tries to push him into the saw blade, punches him with both hands and then pushes him back over the blade. Fallon clearly has both arms as I remember noticing that one of them goes limp as he dies. There was no arm getting cut off and it was implied that Norris wasn't too proud of what he'd done as he reacts a little like Jason Bourne in Supremacy after strangling the Treadstone contact in his own apartment (i.e. once he's snapped out of his rage he realises what he's done).

I'm waiting for the Anchor Bay version to emerge before investing in a DVD.
