The film was originally seen in workprint (unfinished) form by the BBFC who suggested minor edits to the killing of Vennor and to the second rape scene, which implied that Amy was sodomized.

James Ferman
suggested cuts to the rape scene (over 3 minutes) but found them difficult to carry out. Another attempt to release the film was prevented by concerns over the 1987 Hungerford massacre. After 5 attempts proved unsuccessful an edited version of the film (removing most of the second rape) was officially submitted in March 1999 but was rejected by the BBFC as it was felt that too much emphasis had been placed on the initial pleasure rape of Amy by Vennor, and the film was again rejected 3 months later (in its complete form) when submitted by a different distributor, as it was considered inappropriate to pass the uncut version after recently rejecting an edited one. It was finally passed fully uncut for DVD in September 2002.
