- For its original 1972 UK cinema release the BBFC requested a cut to remove a shot of a flying throat kick, though it appeared intact in all early theatrical prints and was possibly waived before release. In 1978 the film was withdrawn by BBFC director James Ferman (together with Enter the Dragon (1973)) and all nunchaku footage removed together with the previously mentioned throat kick, and these cuts, (totalling 2 mins 51 secs) would persist in all of the film's UK video releases. The cuts were fully restored for the 2001 Hong Kong Legends release.
- The original 1982 pre-cert Rank Video release was uncut with the nunchuku scenes intact in fact this version was originally submitted by Rank in 1986 for a 18 rated video release but in fact in 1986 Rank had submitted 2 versions to the BBFC for a 18 rating on video the uncut version and the cut version the latter version got the 18 rating for video.
