Passed for cinema by the BBFC in 1994, but the certificate was subsequently withheld following a tabloid-manufactured witch-hunt against 'video nasties'. By the time the film was eventually cleared for release, the distributors decided its time had come and gone, and abandoned plans for theatrical exhibition. It went straight to video instead, where it was passed with cuts.
