  There are 1:06 of Cuts for both Cinema and Video:
  - Cuts to a close-up of a heart being ripped from the chest and the subsequent self healing of the chest wound.
  - The deletion of the line "Leave him alone you bastards" when the Chinese kid is about to be whipped.
  - Deletion of the Chinese Kid burning a guard's stomach with a flaming torch (and hence discovering an ability to heal).
  - The sequence in which a Sacrifice Victim is being lowered into the fiery pit has been shortened and set to different music.
  - Cut to the first 1s or 2s from the shot of his fall in order to delete the image of his head hitting the side of the cliff.
  - The American decision to rate the film PG caused huge controversy in the US at the time. In fact, the controversy over the PG rating (which was seen by many as the MPAA caving in to Spielberg and corporate pressure) was largely responsible for the introduction of the PG-13 certificate.
  - In the UK today, the UNCUT Version would now be considered as 12 or even 12/15 borderline. The PG version is still considered to be one of the stronger PGs ever certificated by the BBFC and has generated more complaints than most over the years.
