Comparison between the German FSK 18 DVD (identical with UK BBFC 18 VHS) and the uncut DVD by CMV (JK).

Basket Case is the first part of the cult trilogy about the siamese twins Duane and Belial Bradley. Despite the fun splatter attitude of it's successors, this is a classic of the modern horror movies of the 80ies. The German FSK 18 VHS release is identical with the old british VHS (checked by Eiskaltes Grab).

The UK BBFC 18 DVDs are uncensored.
