This film was noticeable for being cut for an MA15+ during its Australian theatrical run, with IMDb stating that the version shown in Aussie cinemas "omitted a brief close up of a woman being shot in the head by one of Saddam's soldiers". Home video releases restored the cut footage, thus increasing the rating to an R18+. In all honestly, I don't get why it wasn't just passed MA15+ uncut in the first place, especially since the usually stricter BBFC passed this 15 uncut.
NOTE: This was sourced from the Video Ezy version of this release. I suspect the regular version of this release is the exact same, minus the Planet Ark promo shown here.
