Alternate Versions
The Unrated version is about 30 secs longer than R-rated. Here are the differences:

- About 16 secs later there is another close up of Frawley inside the machine. It shows her upper body covered in blood (2 sec)
- The death of Frawley is also shown in close up. It shows when her head is crushed by the roller. (2 sec)
- When Pictureman takes the second picture of Frawleys mangled body, the close up stays longer and shows a pile of flesh (3 sec)
- In the scene where George gets stuck in the machine, a close up is shown when the axe hits his arm, it sprays blood first on the man who cut Georges arm, then on Sherry. Gartley yells "Sherry", a close up of Georges face and the bloody stump is then shown. George yells in agony and Sherry looks up to Gartley. This lasts about 11 sec
- When Lin Sue gets killed, it shows in close up her body beeing mangled (2 sec)
- A few sec later, there is another close up of her mangled body ( 2 sec)
- The death of Gartley, it shows a 5 sec shot when his thigh gets folded to his stomach. Intercut is close ups of Hunton.
