Alternate versions for
Cyborg (1989) More at IMDbPro »

• The UK video version was heavily cut by 3 minutes and 15 seconds, to remove high amounts of violence and imitable techniques that were considered too extreme for an '18' rating. These included numerous edits to punches, kicks, neck breaks, a hand severing, a pole being rammed into a man's mouth and shots of a blade concealed in a man's boot. The cuts were fully restored for the 2000 TCF DVD release.
  
  
• In 2000 all previous cuts were waived by the BBFC.
  
  
• The U.S. release was heavily cut to earn an "R" rating rather than an "X". Among the cut material: the opening slit throat, a good deal of blood in the village massacre. Also, in the first warehouse fight Van Damme is first fighting one guy and then suddenly he's not fighting anyone anymore (soon before the girl throws a villain down the big pit), the guy he was fighting vanishes, his death scene was likely cut.
  
  
• German rental video (rated "Not under 18") misses many of the violent scenes. Retail video has a "Not under 16" rating and is cut by 23 minutes.
