Just checked the BBFC and cannot find an entry for the Pioneer release - they would have been required to resubmit because it was longer than the VHS versions (the rental release was butchered by the distributor, the sell-thru was the uncut R-rated version, if memory serves) and also the first time the film had been issued in widescreen. Odd.
Note LD is billed as "the Director's Cut".
