The UK cinema and video releases were edited by the BBFC as follows, with the cuts carried over to the 2002 DVD release:
- When the woman's head is crushed in a vice, all close-ups are removed, along with all shots of blood.
- The sight of a dart embedded between a woman's breasts is taken out.
- Sexual dialogue about a syringe being twisted in a female doctor's buttocks is cut ("And when her pants are down...you get my drift, pal?").
- Shots of a deep gash in a woman's back and blood/gore on the weapon are removed.
- We do not see the electric prod superimposed over a female victim's face.
- The sequence in which a drill penetrates a man's skull is largely edited out.
- The scene of the doctor being chased through the air vent is shortened, with shots of spinning blades removed.
