R2 United Kingdom- Buena Vista Home Entertainment - Yes - Cut by 7 seconds:
- Archer (John Travolta) asks his daughter whether she has protection and demonstrates a butterfly knife by whirling it around. This demonstration does not pass the censor as the butterfly knife is on their list of no-no's. One moment the blade is fully extended, and the next it is closed seamingly with no noise or movement. Also the cut causes a rather obvious sudden jump in the music track.
- The girl eventually gets to use the butterfly knife by stabbing Archer, but we don't get to see the knife (133:08 PAL). -
