Alternate versions for
Die Säge des Todes (1981) More at IMDbPro »

• Dutch DVD is cut and at the gore scenes the picture goes from light to dark. The last available German censored master was used.
  
  
• The original UK pre-cert video on the Inter-Light label was fully uncut.
  
  
• Despite the ultra-fake special effects the 1993 UK video release had 1m 20s of violence removed by the BBFC, owing to the films inclusion on the original DPP list of video nasties. The cuts included edits to the opening scissor murder, the decapitation of a woman with a circular saw, the killing of a live snake, and shots of bloodstained breasts during the stabbing of Eva. The later Vipco DVD release featured the same cut print and the 2008 Severin DVD is the full uncut version.
  
  
• As well as the uncut pre-cert, Inter-light also released the BBFC 'X' rated version on video
  
  
• The Japanese video tape contains much more gore than the banned German video versions, although it's not absolutely complete. For example, during the murder with the large saw there are more close-ups and bloody details in the Japanese version but the German version offers some other (but not that gory) pictures.
