William Lustig's cult movie about serial killer Frank Zito was released in the USA in an entirely uncut version, a cut (due to violence) R-rated version, and a a little bit shortened Director's Cut. The latter is the director's favorite version as he was not satisfied with the restaurant scene, so he decided to have it cut out.

Unfortunately, this classic was only released in a cut version on VHS and DVD in Great Britain. There, the strangling of a prostitute as well as the murder of a woman with a knife were cut out. This version still shows a lot of gore, but, of course, only the uncut version is really recommended. One can find a detailed comparison between the British Version and the Uncensored Version with pictures here.
