From the BBFC decision in 2005: Before the formal submission of the film, the company was given advice that the strength of the beating delivered by Bill Sykes (Jamie Foreman) to Nancy (Leanne Rowe) was unlikely to be acceptable at the PG category.

• A women crashes her car into an oil tanker causing it to explode: we no longer see her - dazed and bloodied - struggling to get out.
• A beating of a henchman as Seagal breaks into the
  oil refinery has been cut to remove him breaking an arm and kicks to the chest.
• The stand-off between Seagal and a group of hired thugs has been toned down: two blows to the head with a piece of lead pipe have cut, a close-up of a knife protruding from a face has been trimmed.

No BBFC cuts recorded for the 2000 MGM DVD

Thanks to David

In the cinema version, a horse trip was deleted. When the Made In Hong video was examined in 2000, a closer look revealed that the horse fall was in fact achieved safely and the cuts were waived.

However the cut crept back into the DVD version when it was resubmitted in 2001. This was down to an administration error. By the time the error was spotted it was too late and so the DVD will be released with an unnecessary cut.

There is also an extended version. See pictorial version details from movie-censorship.com

There is also an International Version/Luc Besson Cut that shortens the film by 3:21s to take out some presumably boring bits. See pictorial version details from movie-censorship.com.

From IMDb:

The International Version omits 90% of the subplot featuring Muay's older sister, Ngek. The only scene she appears in is when Don causes her to overdose on cocaine. The cuts to this version creates confusion as to why Muay is upset in the scene when George tells her people die.

Cut in 2006 with the following BBFC comment: Company chose to remove images of explicit sexual activity (in this case, unsimulated vaginal penetration with dildo)

Cut in 2008 with the following BBFC comment: Distributor chose to remove sight of unsimulated sexual activity (fellatio and cunnilingus).

• Street Fighters

Rated PG-13 in the US.

• The first heavily cut sequence is the battle in the chop-shop, when Mark Dacascos' hero takes on a group of thug mechanics. Not only have several body blows and weapons usage been trimmed, but an entire character - the blow-torch wielding villan - has had his minute long segment removed. The cuts are obvious and the scene looks choppy.
• The final showdown between Dacascos and the main bad guy (Paco Christian Prieto) is missing a number of martial arts moves, including repeated kicks, punches and a headbutt. This last cut is particularly obvious.

Some Sky showings were uncut.

The BBFC cut the 2010 Third Millenium DVD by 9s. The distributor chose to make a single cut to remove clear images of real sex (oral-genital contact during cunnilingus). An 'R18' uncut was available to the distributor.

Review from UK Amazon: Argento at his Best

One of Argento's most dizzying works but also one of his most enjoyable. This being Argento's ninth giallo, he knew all the conventions inside out, so he plays with them mercilessly, using flashbacks, jump cuts, juxtapositions in a captivating way.

The opening when the temperamental diva walks of the opera, is typical of the high style of the piece.

The ending is, admittedly, a bit of a disappointment, but it's sweetened somewhat by the sly reference to Phenomena. Brutal, beautiful and daring, this is Argento at his best.

The US Version was submitted and 3 cuts required for the 1990 cinema release and the 1991 Virgin video

Thanks to Rob:

1. A 4s zoom in to Inspector Alan Santini's (Urbano Barberini's) skewered tongue has been deleted.
2. 20s, ie most of the stabbing of Stefan the stage manager has been cut. He gets a knife through the neck and up into the mouth and then is subsequently stabbed repeatedly.
3. 9s showing the killer forcing a pair of scissors into the wardrobe girl's mouth have vanished

See review from IMDb:  Best Sex Scenes

The film's plot, script, and acting are only average, but the film is buoyed by some sizzling chemistry between Jolie and Banderas. Their sex scenes are extremely memorable, so make sure you get an un-edited version (unrated).

This is an interesting movie for a few reasons. As stated above, the sex scenes are among the best ever filmed. It is also novel to see a film about a man who is actually obsessed about his own wife. I personally could identify with Banderas in his willingness to give up everything for woman he knows he cannot trust. Heck, it happens to the best of us.

Cut in 2005 with the following BBFC comments:

Compulsory cuts required to four scenes. Three scenes removed in their entirety:

1. a sequence showing the irresponsible use of fire in a manner that insufficiently stresses the dangers involved
2. a sequence showing a person incapacitated by alcohol being persuaded to perform dangerous stunts, as a result of which he is knocked unconscious
3. a real life sequence showing a security guard being seriously assaulted by a member of the public, which is repeated several times.

In addition, cuts were required to a fourth sequence showing a serious and life threatening accident, to remove repeated sight of the accident, encouraging callous attitudes to pain and injury.

• l'Altro inferno
• Guardian of Hell
• The Presence

Thanks to Bleach on the Melon Farmers Forum

The 1995 video was cut by the BBFC as follows:

• At 5 mins: Remove shot of nun fishing between murdered nun's legs to remove sex organs.

The BBFC passed the 2009 BFI DVD 18 without cuts but this is a significantly shorter version than the original cinema release

The BBFC cut 26s from the 1988 video (Film & Video) and the 2003 DVD (CBS Fox)

From cuts details on IMDb:

• A scene with Flint using a mains socket to resuscitate an unconscious guard has been almost totally removed.

The 1999 Warner video/DVD was passed 18 uncut

The uncut US Blu-ray is available at US Amazon

1. The pre-credits sequence showing Gino (Seagal) beating-up the pimp is missing (9 secs) of Gino smashing the pimp's head through the side window of his car and throwing him over some trash cans.
2. The deli ambush is missing a single close-up shot of Gino pinning a thug's hand to the wall with a meat cleaver (1 sec). Resulting in the rearrangement of footage to accomodate the edit.
3. The fight in the pool hall has lost (8 secs) of Gino wrapping-up a cue-ball in his handkerchief - the BBFC clearly trying to disguise this makeshift weapon - resulting in the loss of the following dialogue: ...there's only two things stopping you - fear and common sense...and I'm gonna cut your fuckin' head off
4. The raid on Gino's home has been cut, deleting (7 secs) of Gino wrestling with an attacker and shooting him point blank in the head.
5. The final showdown in the kitchen between Gino and Richie (William Forsythe) is missing (26 secs). Gone is the sequence in which Richie attacks Gino with a knife, only to have his wrist snapped, then a rolling pin, which Gino takes away and proceeds to club him with, after putting Richie's head through a window.

An alternatively edited version has been shown on Sky and Channel 5 which included all of the above footage. However, this was done at the expense of other cuts.

The BBFC cut 19s when the Medusa video was submitted in 1986.

The cinema version and the Medusa VHS both suffered the same cuts in 2008

From WorldwideDVDForums:

• This slasher, in which the victims are girls in the telephone sex business, gave the BBFC a lot of problems. Four murders were trimmed, and virtually all the dirty talk over the phone was removed. The censor even removed a five second shot showing a bondage photo next to a telephone, and 11 seconds in which the killer puts a carrot into a victim's mouth.

• Zui jia zei pai dang
• Jui gaai chaak paak dong
• The Best Thief Partner
• The Outlaws

The video was resubmitted in 2005 with most of the cuts waived. However the animal cruelty stayed on the cuts list as outlined in the BBFC statement: Cuts required to sight of cruelty to chickens

• Various shots of Mok Siu-Chung and Frankie Chan breaking into cars were excised. Guess the BBFC didn’t want potential car thieves to get any ideas.
• After the scene in the nightclub there’s a scene where Mok Siu-Chung and Sharon Kwok are attacked by a gang. We lose the shots where Sharon pulls a balisong (butterfly knife) out of her bag, twirls it and uses it against the attackers.
• A close-up shot of Frankie Chan breaking into a house with a lock-picking kit was cut.
• A sequence where chickens are thrown at the baddies to disarm them was cut for animal cruelty.

The latest release from 1999 is uncut
