The well-made drama about the drug addict Jim Carroll (Leonardo DiCaprio) was shown uncut in UK theatres. The British VHS which was released in 1996, however, was cut in one shot. Jim's dream sequence of him going on a killing spree in his school was removed. The reason for this was a killing spree with 18 casualties which had taken place just one month before the release. Further releases also lacked the scene, only editions from the year 2000 and newer (both on VHS and DVD) contained it again.
