That's right. The Vipco DVD of Eaten Alive (which is one of the most badly edited cut films I've ever seen, together with the Satanica Night Of The Bloody Apes) is missing the castration/Me Me Lai killings (the latter is from Last Cannibal World) because they never resubmitted the uncut version for DVD. They simply chose to re-release the same cut print as the 1992 video. The full version would have only received cuts to the animal footage.
Alas they also did the same with Pranks and Night Of The Demon. Both would have easily passed uncut in 2001/2. They resubmitted many of their earlier releases (Fulci zombies, The Burning, Death Trap etc) and most of them made it intact bar House By The Cemetery, and it's a shame they didn't do the same with these 3 titles.
