The UK release was cut, this film was originally shown to the BBFC in an unfinished version. The BBFC advised the distributor that the film was likely to receive a 12A classification but that the requested PG classification could be obtained by making changes to four scenes, including dialogue. In particular the BBFC suggested that the distributor remove a phallically placed dart on a newspaper picture; reduce the enthusiasm with which an electric chair and death is presented; remove any imitable detail of household products being mixed to create a weapon; and remove an aggressive use of 'bitch'. When the finished version of the film was submitted these changes had been made and the film was classified PG.
