The UK censors, the BBFC, viewed the film at the request of the distributors during post-production. The sound mix was incomplete.

Because the BBFC examiners did not advise the distributors to specifically reduce any of the sound effects, as the sound mix was incomplete at the time of the viewing, this film was passed 12A with no cuts made.
