Talk:An American Werewolf in London (1981 uncut version)/@comment-86.40.181.8-20150411224151

There is indeed an unrated version of the film. Your the only website Ive seen mention of it on. The so called UK uncut version is heavily cut! The Nazi werewolf nightmare scene was cut, and all the werewolf kills were toned down. In the uncut version of the nazi werewolf nightmare scene, you saw dad, mom and the kids get shot, and it was a bit like the scene in Robocop where ED-209 kills Kinney. You would see the impact of the bullets etc. As for the tramp scene, If I remember correctly, one of the tramps was killed while lying across the bonnet of an old car. This was in 81, so I dont remember much of that particular scene, because i was very young when I saw it but I do remember that it was on the VHS tape we watched the film on. The toast scene was in there too, where the toast oozes from Jacks wounds as he eats it. Sounds kind of euck, but in the context of the scene its funny and yuck at the same time.On the DVD I have, Landis talks about these scenes as though they were never in the finished version of the film, but they were! I even remember talking to my school pals about those scenes, particulary the toast scene and the tramp scene etc. Back in those days some of the video tapes were rated "X". And Im talking about videotapes available in the UK and Ireland.
