Versions and Home Media
A number of different edits exist, with some American prints removing around twenty minutes including the working class parody suicide just before the conclusion of the film. Even both British VHS releases delete at least one scene present in the BBC broadcast of the film (Travis testing his status in the home of his industrialist patron) in the early eighties. The Swedish cut of the film runs only 168 minutes, eliminating 15 minutes of the film.
A two-disc special edition Region 1 DVD was released October 30, 2007.
