Yes there are 2 cuts in the film. One is the (revolting & senseless) scene where a live crocodile is gutted. The other is the rape of Me Me Lai by Massimo Foschi (in the cut version he simply punches her when she starts yelling and the scene fades to black).

I don't exactly approve of explicit sexual violence in movies unless it's absolutely justified but in this case it was important to the plot. In the uncut version Foschi rapes Lai anally and in an animal style, as it's the only way her character (a tribal girl) can be made 'submissive' to him, whereupon she then helps him to escape.

I remember seeing it on the cinema in the 80's as Cannibal (paired with Psychic Killer) and all the gore scenes were reduced to flash shots, including Lai's death.
