In the UK, the British ratings board BBFC required cuts due to sadistic violent details in order to grant a classification at all to the sequel of the 1996 surprise hit. As is well known, a lack of a BBFC rating is basically the same as a sales ban, as many distributors do not include such titles in their portfolios. The BBFC 18 version that was released on VHS later "made it" to DVD in the UK, unfortunately. The cut British BBFC 18 DVD (by Cinema Club) was compared with the uncut German FSK 18 DVD (by e-m-s). 5 cuts = 50 seconds 1:07:58
