Comparison between the R-Rated Version and the Unrated Director's Cut (both released by Troma USA).
Terror Firmer depicts the ultimate Troma trash movie one has to either love or toss in the garbage right away. Troma has set a monument for itself. That goes double for the R-Rated Version. The scenes have not just been cut or replaced by less explicit footage. Troma chief Lloyd Kaufmann is personally responsible for the R-Rated and so the film freezes from time to time, so that he can tell people what's happening (or not). When foul language is used a more harmless word is spoken right over it. In some cases big "CENSORED" have been put over the events. With this the movie makes fun of the whole MPAA censorship system. The time data is taken from the R-Rated Version. R-Rated = 98:37 Min. Unrated = 114:47 Min. 00:00 The R-Rated starts a little earlier (black screen).
+ 1,5 Sec. 00:27-00:28 In the R-Rated, a big CENSORED has been put over the mans stump.
00:28 Shots of the squirting stump and the screaming guy are only to be found in the Unrated. 2,3 Sec.

In the R-Rated the picture freezes and a window with Lloyd Kaufmann appears. He explains that the scenes from the Unrated have no business in an R-Rated movie before he starts to flirt with some girls. + 26,1 Sec.
01:54 As the man puts the gun to his head and pulls the trigger the very bloody (and very badly made, probably on purpose) headshot is missing. Although he clearly has just blown his whole head off he is relatively unharmed in the next shot. Beats me where all that brain on the table is coming from. 5,4 Sec.
The R-Rated contains text explaining what just had happened. + 4 Sec.
01:58-02:03 We see the CENSORED bar in the R-Rated. In the Unrated we see the (assumed) dead man with his brain splattered all over the place.

13:20 Toddster and the killer going to a more private place has been completely cut. They start making out and after they have taken some cocaine, the killer grabs Toddsters hair and rams his head on the table. She takes the cone they were playing with and rams it in his butt. He screams. The killer pours the bong water into his butt, swiftly followed by the cocaine straight from a frying pan. Toddster wails and begs her to stop. He gets up and sits down again after pulling the cone out of his butt. Then the killer breaks the bong and starts to masturbate in front of him. (Don't look at me, I'm only documenting this.) As she reaches her climax she stabs him with the bong. As soon as she is done she takes his brain (he is still alive, mind you) and throws it into the cocaine pan. She states "This is your brain. And this is your brain on drugs!". Toddster mumbles incomprehensible stuff as she hits him again with the bong, causing one of his eyes to fall out of his head. 216 Sec.
