Cut scenes from this movie?

Hi! I'm from Germany and here grown-up people are not allowed to watch movies like they are intended to be, the government sometimes cuts out a lot of scenes, which they think are offending or brutal or just not fit for 30 year old adults (like we've not seen enough in our lives!). My DVD version of 187 is 113 min long, but IMDb says 'Runtime 119 mins'... does anyone know of any scenes which could be unapropriate an therefor cut out? I'm a big movie fan and like to watch my movies WHOLE!
Thanks for any answers,
GR

Is it cold in here..., or is it just me?!

I think the scenes you described have not been edited, you can see the naked girl in the den (often it is like this, seems that nudity isn't as bad in germany than it is in USA, also is not as bad as violence...;), I don't really remember the blood on the finger, and the ending I think is ok..but several times I saw that the approx. runtime in imdb differs from the time on the Dvd case, is it common that they don't count the end credits as runtime? I also noticed that on a version of 'the thing' by John Carpenter which I have, where the runtime on the case is shorter, but the film has definately not been edited
..;)
But your comment helped me a lot, thanks!
Greetz,

Apparently the format (NTSC or PAL) can affect runtime. I'm not sure how that works though.
