CUTS:
- R0 America- Vinegar Syndrome - No cuts (97:39 NTSC)
- R1 30th Anniversary Special Edition America- Xenon Pictures - No cuts (97:01 NTSC).
- R2 United Kingdom- British Film Institute - Yes - 5 seconds of cuts required to remove shots showing an adult female initiating sex with a boy, in accordance with the provisions relating to indecent images of children contained in the Protection of Children Act 1978. The distributors had already made 1min 9sec of 'cuts' by obscuring (Blacking out) the screen during the opening sex scene between 13 year old Mario Van Peebles and a prostitute. The film has earlier passed uncut for UK video due to the director claiming his son was body doubled (97:04 NTSC to PAL).
