ultimate scream queens--Linnea Quigley (Return of the Living Dead), Brinke Stevens (The Slumber Party Massacre), and Michelle Bauer (Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers)--Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama has earned enduring cult status as a trashy,

steal a trophy from a local bowling alley, the kids accidentally unleash the imp -- a sadistic little spirit with a diabolical sense of humour. He creates demons and loves sexy women. Hes the original party animal, inviting you to come along and die
laughing -- just like everybody else. The Sorority Babes wont live through initiation, but dont blame that cute little killer. Hes evil by nature and funny as hell. And even if you can take a joke, it kills you. SPECIAL FEATURES

UK: The International version without the UK specific cuts was submitted, but the BBFC asked for the UK specific 13s of cuts to be re-applied for:
- 2003 MGM Special Edition DVD
- 2001 MGM R2 DVD
The BBFC commented:
- Company was asked to make seven compulsory cuts to scenes of violence as per the previously released 1996 12-rated version
The other cuts were applied slightly differently and more noticeably for
- A head butt was cut at Xenia's "wait your turn" line to Natalya
- Five Alex Trevelyan head butts against Bond were deleted during the antenna room cradle fight. One return headbutt by Bond was also deleted.
Thanks to Joel: Box set DVD extras include a documentary looking at this history of Bond. When it came to an interview with Famke Janssen about her character Xenia, one of the scenes shown was this exact same scene in it's UNCUT format.

UK: A Pre-cut version was passed 12 after BBFC and MPAA advised cuts were implemented prior to submission for:
- 1996 Warner VHS
- 1995 cinema release
See the full story of censor cuts to GoldenEye in the article Rough Treatment by Gavin Salkeld:
International Version Cuts The
rough cut was shown to the BBFC and MPAA. This resulted in a set of International version cuts that were common to the concerns of both censors. These cuts have become common to all releases of GoldenEye and look unlikely to ever be reversed. The cuts
were:
- During the pre-credit sequence, when 006 is shot, originally one clearly saw the impact to the head, but this has now been deleted
- The sex scene with Xenia making out with the admiral and eventually suffocating him has been much reduced.
- Bond's rabbit punch on Xenia during a car ride was moved offscreen
- The Severnaya hijack sequence was also cut with numerous shots removed of the workers being gunned down by Xenia.
- Furthermore, Xenia's death was also toned
down; originally her body was seen writhing against the tree for longer, before her back breaks with a crack and she slumps dead. The slump, sans sound effect, is all that remains.
- When Trevelyan turns over after falling from the dish, the shot
showing his bloodied face and a trickle of blood running oozing from his mouth was shortened.
UK Specific Cuts In addition to the International Version cuts, additional cuts were made that were specific to the UK release
- Towards the end of the film, as Xenia attempts to crush Bond, her headbutt to Natalya was removed when the latter tried to free Bond. In fact, the entire episode of Natalya swinging a log at Xenia, Xenia grabbing it and telling Natalya to Wait for
your turn before headbutting her was removed.
- All head butts were removed from the climatic Bond vs Trevelyan fight around the antenna room and cradle. This included attempted head butts that failed to hit their target. In addition, the
contact sound effects throughout the fight were toned down.

US: The US Version is cut to tone down the amount of blood in a couple of violent scenes:
- Viggo Mortensen breaks the nose of a bad guy. The US version shows the guy on the ground with blood dribbling down his face. In the International Version, the dribble is a gush.
- Viggo Mortensen stomps on the throat of one of the bad guys.
The US Version has muted the crunching sound of the neck breaking and shows the guy with blood in his mouth. The International Version includes the neck breaking sound and has the guy coughing and choking on the blood in his mouth.
Director Cronenberg said that in two scenes, the Canadian and international DVD releases will have just a little more blood than the U.S. version, which had to satisfy the MPAA ratings people. I defy anybody to
see the differences. I can't see them, even though I know if you go frame by frame you will. But they're so quick. See pictorial cuts details
from movie-censorship.com

Promotional Material In David Cronenbergs subtly provocative film, one of his most celebrated, all is not as it initially seems. In his first of many collaborations with the director, Viggo Mortensen
delivers a highly nuanced performance as Tom Stall, a small-town husband and father who is hailed as a hero when he kills the would-be perpetrators of a violent robbery. But how did this ordinary family man dispatch them with such skill? Working with an
exceptional cast that also includes Maria Bello, Ed Harris, and William Hurt, Cronenberg slyly deconstructs the mythos of the American action hero, posing elemental questions about identity, human nature, and the violence that we both abhor and cant look
away from.
