Alternate versions for
Under Siege (1992) More at IMDbPro »

  • 15 certificate UK video version has had a 10s cut to a scene of a man being stabbed in the groin, presumably to prevent an 18 certificate. The final fight between Casey and Strannix has also been shortened (the graphic eye-gouging has been shortened).

  • German retail video and TV version were cut for violence to avoid a "Not under 18" rating.

  • The version for Australian television edited all scenes clearly showing bullets impacting and knives creating wounds. All fights with guns showed the gun going off and the victim collapsing from their wounds, never the actual impact of the bullets. All fights involving knives were edited to imply a stab or cut, or removed altogether. This is most obvious in the construction crew fight scene, where a man being cut across his leg, then stabbed under his arm, is removed, along with the man shoved onto the bandsaw being dropped onto it, but not pushed. The fight at the end between Ryback and Strannix shortens the eye gouge to two seconds, and skips the head stabbing sequence altogether, though the knife is clearly visible as Strannix's body is thrown into the console.

  • The new release on DVD in Germany (FSK 16) is cut to avoid a FSK 18 rating. Cuts include the man shoved on the bandsaw and the eye scene in the final fight. DVD is uncut in Belgium and Holland (both rating 16 years and older)

  • An uncut DVD is avaiable in Germany. FSK 18 The uncut DVD is in a red case and "ungeschnittene Originalversion" stands on its cover - the cut DVD is in a black case.

  • The version for Finnish theatrical and video release was heavily censored. The actual impact of most bullets was not shown. All fights involving knives were either heavily edited or removed entirely. Most notably: the scene in which a man is cut across his leg, then stabbed under his arm, was removed, along with that of a man being shoved into a bandsaw; the scene where Ryback rips out a man's larynx was cut out; the fight at the end between Ryback and Strannix did not show the eye gouge sequence nor did it show the head stabbing. The scene involving nudity was also cut.
