The UK-DVD by Anchor Bay has been compared to the US-DVD by Rhino.

There are two different versions of the scene in which Stephen violates a girl. In one version he rips off her clothes and tries to rape her whereas in the other one he ties her up and threatens her with scissors. The later one was too much in the eyes of the BBFC, so it is only found in the international version of the film. According to rumors, this scene was specifically shot for the Japanese marrket, but since it is also found on the US as well as on the German version, it seems to be made for the international market.
