OVERALL: Draw

Between the UK and Australian releases — the latter appears to have a more extensive image gallery, if that is enough to sway you (the UK only has an additional trailer).

Do avoid the US (4:3) and German (heavier cuts) releases.

Prior to it's original theatrical release the BBFC trimmed the scene in which Penelope tortures Drummond's nephew and a rear nude shot of Penelope is also cut – thanks to Rewind member Tim Rogerson for this info.

CUTS:

• R0 Australia- Madman Entertainment - No cuts - Original UK theatrical release (93:41 PAL)
• R0 Germany- Koch Vision - Yes - At about 69:00 into the film a :46 chunk of footage is missing from the scene in which Irma tries to seduce Drummond in the latter's bedroom (or rather the bedroom where he is held hostage). See Movie Censorship for more details (92:42 PAL)
• R1 America- Hen's Tooth Video - Likely the UK cinema version
• R2 United Kingdom- Network - No cuts - Original UK theatrical version (93:41 PAL)
