The UK release was cut, the distributor chose to remove two moments of strong bloody violence (blade embedded in man's head, accompanied by blood spurt, and bloody bullet impact to chest) in order to obtain a 12A classification. A 15 classification was available without these cuts. Additionally, compulsory cuts were required to a scene of cockfighting, in accordance with the requirements of the Cinematograph Films (Animals) Act 1937. An uncut classification was not available without these cuts.
