It's actually only cut by roughly 45 seconds and the shots missing are, extra shots of the city when the punks are driving around and close ups of the Coke can.
The story based on what I've heard was the American studio that licensed the film, wanted to tighten it up a bit, so they removed snipets of the punks driving around - feeling it detracted too much from the actual story but didn't remove them completely. The Coke can being removed was simply a product of Coke being pissed off that they were being shown as a drug company - bit of irony there - so that stuff was trimmed as well.
Basically it's not as "cut" as some people think, I can live without seeing the close up shots of the Coke can and more of Berlin.
None of the gore or anything like that is missing. After six weeks of analyzing both prints - I can safely say I know that for a fact.
