Most of the film's violent scenes, particularly those involving close-ups of human decapitations and butchering, were toned down through the use of a discoloration and blurring effect in most versions of the film including the Japanese theatrical release (according to circumstancial accounts). This is evident in one of the preview trailers, which features a shot of Rei slicing the head of one of Fox's henchmen without the blur. No uncensored version of the film was ever released in Japanese home video and it is unknown is an uncensored version was ever shown in theaters. However, the Italian dubbed version, released on VHS in 1993 by Granata Press and re-released in 1996 by Dynamic Italia, was based on a cut that has the following scenes uncensored. | Most of the film's violent scenes, particularly those involving close-ups of human decapitations and butchering, were toned down through the use of a discoloration and blurring effect in most versions of the film including the Japanese theatrical release (according to circumstancial accounts).
