Compared are the cut BBFC 18 Blu-ray of Eureka with the uncut French DVD of Metropolitan

- 4 cuts
- Cut duration: 11 sec [in PAL]

A few additional master errors, each lasting less than 0.5 sec, were not listed in the report.

Japanese director Hideo Gosha is best known for his historical chambara samurai films. In 1974's Violent Streets, he turned his attention to the yakuza genre and delivered a thriller that surely delivers with a few ultraviolent scenes. Unfortunately, not too many releases are known worldwide. An uncut release was, for example, the French DVD. As is so often the case, however, it contains French subtitles only.

Since February 20, 2023, a Blu-ray of Eureka is available in the UK, which is in principle qualitatively and with the exclusive bonus material once again recommended for genre fans. Unfortunately, the film had to be censored for the BBFC rating. Once again, animal cruelty was the problem here and so a few cuts were made during the final scene with the chicken cage. Brief moments where the explosions leave little doubt that the animals have come to harm here are missing from the version.
