According to IMDB:

# The UK cinema version has an alternate electrocution torture sequence. In the original version, Neeson stabs two metal spikes into the legs of his hostage and connects the jump leads to them. In the US version, he simply attaches the leads to the metal chair. This is completely different footage redone to secure a lower rating.

# Some of the shoot outs, the torture scene and some fisticuffs have been shortened in length for the film's US release to secure a PG-13 rating.


How many different versions of "Taken" are there?

France '-12' (all media) original version same as what was seen in most countries and the UK '18' 'Extended, Harder Cut' version (available on DVD and Blu-ray)

UK '15' theatrical version

US 'PG-13' version (which is edited from the UK '15' theatrical version)
