Compared are the UK DVD (BBFC 18) and the Uncut German DVD (FSK 16), both released by MGM.


The UK Theatrical Version and the early VHS releases got an BBFC 18 rating and approx. 41 sec were cut out. Some footage cut due to violence was revoked for the DVD release, only a couple of shots of falling and dying horses are still missing on the UK DVD which also got an BBFC 18, just like the previous UK releases. The German DVD is completely uncut and got an FSK 16 rating.
