08 Video releases :::: Hellbound ::::
Three releases exist; the first two do not feature the extra scene.
cut(1) - This version is heavily cut, and does not feature the following
gore scenes:
* Hammer nailing in Pinhead's nails.
* Dr. Channard Cenobite slicing patient's hand off.
The following scenes are still present, but with most gore cut:
* Browning slashing himself with the razor.
* Tiffany experiencing her flashbacks.
* Dr. Channard becoming a Cenobite.
* Blood draining when Pinhead's throat is slashed.
cut(2) - Normal gore. This is what most "uncut" versions of Hellbound
claim to be.
uncut - This version is extremely rare, and mainly bootlegged.
Features an extra scene in Hell where Kirsty finds herself
in a normal-looking room she associates with her childhood;
a framed photograph of her parents is displayed on a bureau.
She admires the photo and looks yearningly at her mother.
After taking a short look around the room, she finds that
Julia has replaced her mother in the photo. Suddenly, it
begins to ripple and a bevy of cockroaches burst forth from
the frame. Roaches crawl forth from behind the bureau,
toppling it, and she screams. This scene is inserted
during the spinning shot of Kirsty screaming, but before
the Cenobites appear. A subsequent shot of Kirsty running
along a hellish path with Tiffany is also slightly extended.
NO version contains the 'surgeons scene'. The filming was never finished.
