Compared were the shortened UK-VHS by Colourbox (BBFC 18) and the uncut German DVD by CMV Laservision.
1 Minute and 10.5 seconds within 10 scenes are missing. This not particularly brutal movie which is interesting for Trash-fans comes with Gunnar Hansen alias leather-face and B-movie-queen Linnea Quigley as main actors and has been shortened for the UK in the VHS-version by Colourbox within every single splatter scene. Accordingly, nothing was left over. Interestingly enough, the movie title on the cover and at the beginning of the movie has been censored arbitrarily. Here, as a matter of fact, the word “chainsaw” was removed and replaced by an illustration of a chainsaw. All other UK-VHS and DVD versions were released totally uncut by the way. 2 Min
