In order to get a "Not under 18" rating in Germany, the German version was cut by nearly two minutes to tone down the violence in most of the death scenes. The uncut version was later released on DVD unchecked by Laser Paradise; however, due to the "glorification of violence," the movie later got confiscated and outright banned entirely across Germany in 2010. Only in October of 2024 was the banishment lifted. Days after the banishment was lifted, the FSK granted the uncut version of the movie a "Not under 16" rating through re-examination.
