When submitted for a rating from the BBFC in 1980, the movie was cut for an "X" rating. When submitted for a rating in 1998 by Allied Troma the movie (presumably the uncut version) had 1m 39s cut in order to receive an "18" rating. The video cuts apply to a rape scene on a river bank and the latter bar rape scene. The 1999 video from Polygram also features these cuts. As of 2005, all previous cuts were waived and the Arrow Film video/DVD is uncut.
The 1980 Australian theatrical release was cut, with 2 minutes and 16 seconds of footage censored. The film was released theatrically, but no home video release followed. The film was not released again until March 2006, when Madman Entertainment issued an uncut DVD. The film was re-submitted to the Office of Film and Literature Classification in Australia the month prior to this DVD release. The Office waived all of the previous cuts made in 1980.
