Alternativfassungen for
Near Dark (1987)

The UK version released on video in 1988 was missing 14 secs of BBFC cuts:
- Diamondback opening and closing a butterfly knife repeatedly before slitting the barmaid's throat
- Jesse and Severen putting the barman's body on the bar and smashing bottles of spirits over and around him to fuel the fire while Severen quips "Hey, bartender salad".
Near Dark was at first banned in Sweden, due to the films graphic violent nature, and the zero-tolerance policy of the Swedish censorship board, but was finally released on video in 1989. However, this version is brutally cut omitting almost all violence, shown, as well as hinted. Scenes missing include ridiculous cuts of a bloodsucking and more seriously, deleting the entire sequence of Calebs' initiation in the bar.
In 2003 the BBFC waived all the above mentioned cuts.
