The UK release was cut, cuts were required to scenes with consent problems (a woman bound and gagged), the association of sex with violence (a knife being run over a man's body) and abusive sexual activity (a woman's throat being held and her face slapped) in order to obtain an R18 classification, in accordance with BBFC policy, the Obscene Publications Act 1964 and the Video Recordings Act 1984. An uncut classification was not available.
