UK cinema release was seemingly pre-cut for an A rating (roughly a modern PG), to remove a scene with frequent swearing. The backstage scene in question shows Peter Grant letting loose on a crew member for not clamping down on poster bootleggers. The several uses of strong language aren't mentioned in the BBFC's original cinema report, and the video report from 1987 questions the previous lack of mention of swearing - all UK video releases are uncut and upgraded to 15.
