-Cut entire sequence with Thuggee victim getting his heart ripped out and being lowered into the pit. Personally, I don't really enjoy watching sustained images of organs being pulled out and guys screaming helplessly as they're engulfed in flames. It's just not the kind of thing I like to watch repeatedly. I'm sure some of you will disagree, but I really felt it could be made more enjoyable to watch if a lot of this stuff was toned down. The Thuggees are evil enough being creepy demon worshippers and having stolen the shankara stones AND all the village's children.

This scene was actually trimmed down on the UK theatrical and DVD releases (to get a PG rating).
It was trimmed down even more in the badly edited version shown on TV, so the line "he's still alive" makes no sense (why wouldn't he be?)
