Comparison:

  • BBFC PG
  • German DVD
Release: Jun 16, 2013 - Author: Eiskaltes Grab - Translator: Sebbe - external link: IMDB
Comparison between the cut UK DVD by Metrodome / In2Film (BBFC PG) and the uncut German FSK 16 DVD by Universal / Koch Media.

There are missing 1 minute and 19.5 seconds within 8 scenes.

Two scenes had to be cut to get a PG rating for the theatrical release of the movie (condom in Howard's wallet / tentacle tongue in the cigarette lighter socket). This version was then released by CIC Video in 1987 on VHS with the same rating. The later PG DVD release by Metrodome was cut more heavily. All scenes with sexual content were removed, among others. But an uncut DVD with a BBFC 12 rating was also released in the UK.

Some cuts were made when Howard is standing in front of the store window looking at the TVs, where he sees for example reports about the duck hunting season or commercials for roast duck. The following things are missing: Daffy Duck gets squashed by a demolition ball and in another show, a hunter is giving an interview, in which he says that a hunter can shoot about 15 ducks. Howard makes a disgusted and scared face.

A tentacle tongue comes out of Jenning's mouth and slowly moves towards Beverly, who is screaming and raising her hands in disgust. The tongue keeps moving and Jenning thrusts it into the cigarette lighter socket. An electric current, which Jenning needs to recharge his energy, is flowing through the tongue. The beginning of the part with the approaching truck was also shortened.
