Versioni alternative: - A scene of sexual activity with a sleeping child in the background was removed from the UK cinema version, where the depiction of children in the same shot as sexual activity is forbidden. In August '99 the British Board of Film Classification have awarded the film an 18 certificate for video distribution, but with 51 seconds of cuts. This would suggest that the scene removed from the UK cinema release has also been trimmed from the video.
