As far as I can rember it was cut twice. Once for a theatrical "12" then
again for a video "PG" as their was no "12" rating for videos at the time.
I'm told one of the cuts involves the amputation of a thief's hand in the
arab prison while another is the kick to the groin which Maid Marian gives
the Sheriff of Nottingham.
