Simple: The over abundance of blood would've called for an NC-17 rating. In b/w, he could get away with an 'R'. The un-cut Japanese version which will be included in the "deluxe set" of DVDs will have the entire color version. Ever notice with all the heads and limbs cut off in 'Evil Dead 2: Dead Before Dawn' it still pulled down an 'R' rating ? Simple. Different colored blood for different scenes (ie. green, yellow, etc). Same thing when chopping up monsters in graphic detail rather than people in a film. No one cares that a monster gets his head removed. A person on the other hand.... It's all politics, guys.
