OVERALL: Draw

The US release for the uncut version with the most extras.
The French Bach Films release is also uncut and has some exclusive extras but uses an NTSC to PAL transfer.


GENERAL NOTES:
The fully uncut version includes an additional 10 minutes of footage:
- The wheelchair death is gorier and quite longer. He squeezes his body till his intestines burst out of his stomach (along with buckets of blood). Then Toxie takes the wheelchair, picks it up and throws it aside.
- The villain who gets choked with the vine and has roses shoved into his eye sockets is gorier and longer. It shows Toxie choking him more and also blood squirting out his neck (he also spits out blood) and it also shows Toxie shoving the roses in his eyes.
- A gorier version of the scene when Toxie punches the Blackvillain's face in showing blood run down his face and also his body dropping to the ground, showing what's left of his head.
- When Toxie bashes the two villains; heads off, it usually cuts to them dancing; in the uncut print their bodies first drop to the ground, causing blood to splash out of their necks (and it also shows Toxie tearing hair from their scalps!)
- The Indian villain's death shows Toxie tearing his ears off his head
- Toxie chases down 3 rapists and kills 2; in the R-rated version the 3rd one (a woman) is never shown. In the uncut print he chases her to a radio station where he shoves cords, microphones in her body
- A scene showing Toxie and the Japanese chick playing a game.
- A new scene of Toxie complaining that everyone in Japan is staring at him.
- Two fights scenes are added. One between two warriors (one gets crushed by Toxie's foot and the other gets thrown on some stand) and a Japanese drag queen who keeps trying to rape Roxie
- Big Mac Junko's death is longer and gorier. You see more chopping on his leg and a new shot of his arm being chewed up.
Unfortunately this version is only available in the "Tox Box" containing all 3 parts of the series.

Information on the differences between the two cuts can be found at Movie-Censorship.
