New footage from 1990 movie?!?

DISCLAIMER:

Spoiler:

Last week, the TMNTmoviesite Channel went up on YouTube, featuring special clips from the UK release of of the original TMNT movies.

Most of the clips added so far have been stuff that seems identical to the US releases, but some unexpected things caught my eye in a clip showing the battle scene in April's apartment from the first movie.

First, the music seems a little lighter and less dramatic than in the US version, and (of course) no nunchucks are on screen. Also, things that struck me as different:

At the 00:49 mark, April notices that she can take out some foot soldiers by pulling a rug out from under them, which in turn causes her to be thrown back against the wall and received a compliment from Mikey ("you're a natural, sis!").

At 1:11, a footsoldier gets VERY angry at Mikey's "Wheel of Fortune" technique just before calling for the ninja axes.

From 1:40-1:50, after the foot reinforcements jump in, it seems like everyone hesitates a little bit longer than normal before the floor collapses.

So, can anyone confirm that these really are scenes not used in the US release?

DISCLAIMER: Spoiler: I would have liked to have checked out my claim with a copy of the US movie, but seeing as I didn't have one available to me and haven't seen it in a while, I may be mistaken on the "new" claim. That said, I think this is still a neat find since it is the UK cut.
