The film exists in an Unrated version and an R-rated version. Various local territories also applied their own cuts to the film (eg, the film was cut quite heavily in the UK).
Note there are various hybrid edits of the film in existence, which combine elements from the unrated cut with footage from the 'R' rated version.
Information on the differences between the R-rated and Unrated versions can be found at Movie-Censorship.com (SPOILERS!). -

23/07/12: Initial Entry.
Please ensure you read our disclaimer.
19/06/14: Added Australian release; added note about versions; added information about the unrated cut on both the US and Australian BDs actually being a hybrid edit rather than the 'true' unrated version.
11/1/17: Tried the Australian disc on a BD player set to 'A' and it played, so changed the region to 'region all'.
12/02/21: Added Caps-a-holic, added France, updated Winner notes.
