Hercules is a 2014 USA action adventure by Brett Ratner.
Starring Dwayne Johnson, John Hurt and Ian McShane.
The Theatrical Version suffered BBFC advised category cuts for a 2014 12A rated cinema release. The BBFC cuts were adopted for worldwide release. There is also an Unrated Extended Version. Summary Notes
Fourteen hundred years BCE, a tormented soul walked the earth that was neither man nor god. Hercules was the powerful son of the god king Zeus, for this he received nothing but suffering his entire life. After twelve
arduous labours and the loss of his family, this dark, world-weary soul turned his back on the gods finding his only solace in bloody battle. Over the years he warmed to the company of six similar souls, their only bond being their love of fighting and
presence of death. These men and women never question where they go to fight or why or whom, just how much they will be paid. Now the King of Thrace has hired these mercenaries to train his men to become the greatest army of all time. It is time for this
bunch of lost souls to finally have their eyes opened to how far they have fallen when they must train an army to become as ruthless and blood thirsty as their reputation has become.

Note that Extended Cut will be on Blu-ray only and the DVD looks likely to contain the Theatrical Version See pictorial version details from
movie-censorship.com : The Extended Version adds lots of blood to the fight/battle scenes and makes for a more violent movie that would never have made a PG-13 rating. In
addition the Extended Version adds 3:31s of plot which does not make a lot of difference but helps to explain the conflicts with General Sitacles.

UK: Passed 15 for strong bloody violence, strong language after BBFC advised pre-cuts for:

The BBFC commented: This film was originally seen for advice in an unfinished version. The company was informed the film was likely to be classified 18, but that their requested 15 could be achieved by making some
reductions in scenes of violence. When the finished version was submitted for formal classification, reductions had been made and the film was passed 15.
US: The same cut version is MPAA R rated for:
See interview from denofgeek.com
. Director Matthew Vaughn has denied that changes were made to obtain a 15 rating. Den of Geek: I should ask you just to clarify the certification of the film in the UK ... Vaughn:
I haven't changed a fucking frame! Den of Geek: Absolutely nothing? The BBFC posted that certain changes were made prior to submission to get a 15 certificate in the UK ? Vaughn: Nothing. You've seen it! They're pretty intelligent people, the BBFC. And I think they get it right most of the time. They watched it, and I sat down with them. The violence is fun. You don't see people grimacing. They're laughing with it. It's like Tom & Jerry. It's over the top and colourful and playful.
However an article from movie-censorship.com gives more hope
of an uncut version: The British cut of the movie clocks in at 128:34 minutes while the German release has a duration of 129:25 minutes. The difference of 51 seconds is quite large and isn't due to rounding up. Also, logos
can most likely be ignored since the film's sole distributor is 20th Century Fox. Therefore, it's quite possible that the film's UK pre-cuts won't affect other markets.
