There are several versions of this film knocking about worldwide - the old Japanese laser release was considered definitive (with more of the infamous disembowelment than any other release), but as far as I know the recent French and USA unrated DVDs are the full enchilada too.
The recent UK version is several minutes shorter than the definitive cut (or even the old, incomplete UK pre-VRA release) - tampered scenes include the aforementioned disembowelling and name-carving bits.
You might be able to work around this censorship while watching this version, but to me it seems akin to drinking Diet Coke or eating a Weight-Watchers' Chicken Korma ready-meal (which I have just finished, and was bloody disgusting).
