Comparison between the cut British version and the uncut original version (both included on 88 Films' British/American Blu-ray, depending on player region code setting).

- 3 cuts
- Cut duration: 4.4 sec

The Flying Guillotine 2 was the official 1978 sequel to Shaw Brothers' hit The Flying Guillotine, released three years earlier. In addition to the "original trilogy", however, there were of course many recommendable spin-off films featuring the spectacular death tool, e.g. One-Armed Boxer vs The Flying Guillotine (aka Master of the Flying Guillotine) or Fatal Flying Guillotine.

On August 08 / 09, 2022, a Blu-ray has been released in parallel in the UK and the US. To get the British BBFC release, however, the film was cut in a scene with animal violence. As e.g. with the Blu-ray of The Grand Duel there is a quasi "region hack" here. The same disc is distributed in the UK and the US, with both versions: On a code A player the original uncensored version will be picked up, while with a code B setting you only get to play the censored version. Also, as expected, the British version is still very watchable with those minor cuts.
