Did you know
- TriviaThe uncut Spanish-language version of the film runs over four minutes longer than the international English-language cut and contains longer, more explicit gore sequences.
The opening of the English cut contains a truncated version of the Templars' blood sacrifice before the villagers capture and kill the knights.
The Spanish version places the sacrifice flashback when Murdo warns Jack and Vivian about the coming return of the Templars, and contains shots of the virgin's heart being removed and eaten by the knights.
- Goofsthroughout the movie the day changes from a night to day multiple times.
- Alternate versionsThe Anchor Bay version claims to be uncut, however it is actually missing quite a bit of footage. Most of the gore has been cut out, along with a few other minor scenes. Here is a complete list of the missing footage:
- During the opening flashback, all shots of the knife plunging into the woman's chest have been removed, as well as the shots of the Templars removing her heart.
- There is a brief line of dialogue from one of the Templar Knights missing just before he is blinded by the villagers.
- A shot of a woman, tied and gagged in the trunk of a car, has been cut from during the fireworks display.
- A complete sequence has been cut in which the woman from the previous shot is tied to a wall by Murdo the village idiot and stabbed between the breasts. This particular cut makes it unclear why the Templars suddenly return from the grave. In the uncut version, this scene establishes that Murdo has deliberately summoned the Templars by offering a human sacrifice.
- A single shot of blood dripping down a telephone and onto the floor has been removed.
- Two close-up shots have been removed which show Bert's stomach being punctured by swords, along with an intervening shot of the Mayor watching from a nearby window.
- The scene where the little girl leaves a room and encounters the Mayor (just before he leads her outside) has been cut.
- Various close-ups of swords entering the Mayor's body have been removed.
- A single close-up of a sword penetrating Amalia's stomach has been cut.
- A single shot of blood spurting from Murdo's neck after he has been beheaded has been removed.
- Just before the camera pans down to reveal that Howard has fallen onto a spear, a few shots of his face have been removed.
- A single shot of the village square has been cut, just before Vivian, Jack, and Nancy leave the church.
- The end credits have been considerably shortened.
