In the original, pre-Midnight Show, unrated version, when Jimmy Cliff is lashed for slicing his antagonist, there are shots of frontal nudity when he is strapped over the barrel, making his urination explicit.
The 25th Anniversary re-release cuts out the following scenes:
The dinner with the Minister.
Fixing the Bicycle.
Part of the movie theater scene where Ivan sees Jimmy Cagney stand off cops with empty guns.
Because of the thick accents, and the extensive use of Jamaican slang, the U.S. release prints contained English subtitles.
