Further details were supplied after an email query to the BBFC:
The cinema
version was passed '18' uncut following expert legal advice. Nevertheless
the Board was concerned by the film's climactic scene, which shows an
under-aged girl - played by a 13 year old actress - being raped. Our legal
advice confirmed that the scene was not indecent within the meaning of the
Protection of Children Act 1978 and the Board therefore agreed to pass the
scene intact. |

128:01s | The A-Team is a 2010 US action film by Joe Carnahan. With Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper and Sharlto Copley. UK: The Extended Explosive Edition/Extended Cut was passed 12 for one use of strong language and moderate violence after BBFC suggested cuts for:
The BBFC cinema cuts to 2 uses of 'fuck' still apply. The extended version introduces a 3rd occurrence of 'fuck'. This has been allowed to remain and is noted in the BBFC consumer advice. Note that the 15 rated UK release is due to one of the commentary extras being 15 rated rather than being an uncut version of the film. US: The Extended Cut is MPAA Unrated for:
See pictorial version details from movie-censorship.com. The Extended Cut provides many extensions to flesh out the narrative and reduce the overly frantic pace of the Theatrical Version. The 'fucks' in Adios, motherf***, removed from the Theatrical Version, have not been re-integrated into the movie but there's a one scene that now features an additional 'fuck'. |

113:51s | UK: The Theatrical Version was passed 12/12A for moderate violence and language and implied strong language after BBFC suggested cuts for:
Two reels from this film were originally shown to the BBFC in unfinished form to consider language issues. The company were advised that two inadequately obscured uses of motherfucker would result in a 15 classification rather than the requested 12A. When the finished version of the film was submitted for formal classification, the two uses of the term had been further obscured and the film was classified 12A. US: The BBFC suggested cuts have been adopted for all worldwide releases including the US PG-13 rated Theatrical Version. |

Absurd is a 1981 Italian horror by Joe D'Amato. With George Eastman and Annie Belle. US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:
Summary Review: Halloween-esque Monster Hunter is the Halloween-esque 'sequel' to 1981's insomniac's dream Anthropophagous. This time around D'Amato brings to us a sense of pace, making Monster Hunter much more enjoyable. The added gore (including an ultra-torturous scene involving an oven) and cool electronic music score is a nice bonus. The story brings back George Eastman as our favorite cannibal, this time somewhere in the US being hunted by a priest. A bit boring at times but Eastman's presence is over powering and the end involving a 'vegetable' overcoming her disabilities to face the beast is fairly ironic. |

Review from Amazon US: One of the craziest movies This is definitely one of the craziest movies I've ever seen. A wild Mixture of Action and Splatters cenes, combined with crazy Humour, funny dialogues and very strange Actors.The Plot is told with a few sentences: Women gets kidnapped by a group of crippled Terrorists, known as "Accion Mutante". On the way to the planet Axturias, the group gets decimated by their own leader. Finally all the survivors meet again - the final clash marks the curious culmination of a curious film. In my Opinion, Alex de la Iglesia has done a very good job - it's an excellent film, a macabre Masterpiece beside the Mainstream. |

A BBFC examiner commented on the title change: Obviously the characters are youngsters, but we felt that this series didn't have the kind of appeal that say Akira or even Crying Freeman had for a younger audience. I mean, the storyline in Adventure Duo is quite impenetrable, so we didn't feel that teenagers would particularly go for this material. It's one of the reasons that we insisted that the name be changed from Adventure Kids to Adventure Duo. See pictorial cuts details from movie-censorship.com: the UK video is missing 5:49s when compared with an uncut version.

Bagnall.See
IMDb Passed 18 after 7:35s of BBFC cuts and a BBFC title change for:
The cuts as described by a BBFC examiner: Let me show you a scene we cut from Adventure Duo which features teenage heroes who get into all sorts of adventures, yet the film also contains very realistic portrayals of sex including autoeroticism and sexual assault. This is from Adventure Duo 2 which is set in Japan during the Second World War. We are introduced to an impotent scientist whose wife is sexually frustrated and the episode starts with her masturbating in a highly realistic and sexually arousing fashion. Her husband interrupts her and she asks him to make love to her but he refuses and goes back to his laboratory. A few minutes later a group of soldiers arrive and decide to humiliate the scientist by raping his wife in front of him. It's one of the longest, strongest and highly realistic rape scenes I have ever seen in Japanese animation. And what the Board found particularly worrying is that this woman is forced to admit to the rapist that she is enjoying the experience. And when the woman finally orgasms there's no doubt that the underlying message is that women can enjoy rape as long as it's done well. And in cutting this scene, we're making a decision about the presentation of sexual violence across the board, whether the audience is 18 or 80. It was our view that even if this material isn't corrupting underage viewers, current social attitudes dictate that this kind of sexual violence is unacceptable. Not only does the law compel us to censor material, public opinion does as well, and public opinion is something we monitor very closely.

65:3 | Environment documentaries by Ben Knight, Travis Rummel &
Jim Odoine The BBFC cut the 2008 cinema release: Company chose to remove a background use of strong language in order to obtain a 'PG' classification. An uncut '12A' classification was available. The BBFC explained the PG certificate: A double bill of documentaries dealing with ecological issues. The first deals with the community of Bristol Bay in Alaska and their objections to the creation of a copper and gold mine. The second deals with two kayakers travelling across the country using used oil instead of petrol for fuel. The film was passed PG for mild language and a mild drug reference. BBFC Guidelines at PG allow mild bad language , in this case ass and screw (this up) . The film also includes a passing mention of LSD but this occurs in the context of a song lyric playing over the end credits (I once heard a man talk with his heart about the Lord and the army and LSD) and is therefore considered innocuous and undetailed enough for PG . The film also contains some natural footage of a bear catching a live salmon, which is seen flapping on the ground before being eaten. |

40:19s | 1995 Japanese anime by Go Nagai Cuts as described by a BBFC examiner: When the Board first saw The Adventures of Kekkou Kamen, we were quite taken aback as we hadn't seen anything like it before. The series directly associates comedy with violence and sexualised violence. It features a naked superheroine who goes around with only a hood on beating up the bad guys with nunchakus, which are illegal weapons in this country. Though we allowed some scenes to remain in which Kekkou was just holding nunchakus, if a scene glamourised and promoted their use, then it became a problem and was cut. The other, more troubling issue with Kekkou Kamen is that it is a comedy which has at its heart a sort of sexualised violence. This scene was cut from the first episode . It's where a group of sadistic schoolteachers make jokes at the expense of a young girl who is hung up and then whipped and tortured by a sadistic Nazi. This is the crux of the sequence, where the girl is stripped with a whip and we get an eroticised view of her breasts and naked torso. This is very over the top and is meant to be a satire on the Japanese education system, but our feeling was that there was enough explicit sexual imagery to undercut the satire and introduce an element of arousal and titillation, which is reinforced by the change of music |

Summary Review: Indiscriminate extermination From the producers of the Mondo Canes comes this violent document of a continent in transition; the change from white colonialism to independent black statehood. Often times, this resulted in the wholesale massacre of thousands of people and the indiscriminate extermination of wild life. Captured on film are mercenary killer squads wiping out entire villages, executions, Mau-Mau massacres and more! This documentary proves one thing and one thing only. Humans are the sickest and cruelest animals on the planet. |

1984 Italy erotic film by Joe D'Amato. With Lilli Carati, Annie Belle and Al Cliver. See IMDb US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:
Summary Review: Surprisingly well-crafted An English soldier (Cliver) returns home from the Zulu war with the daughter of a tribal king (Gemser) as his slave (a gift that he was given for saving the kings life). Not at all pleased with being a slave, the Ebony princess plots her revenge starting with the seduction of the mistress. Jealousy spreads like wildfire and before you know it, she has turned the household into a lustful frenzy of sex and hatred. This film is actually far more twisted than it sounds. One of the more disturbing moments being a sequence about the filming of an inquisition-themed porno that turns into the sadistic rape of a lesbian / virgin by the filthy and none too bright gardener. Sporting tons of full-frontal nudity, simulated lesbian and straight sex and some hard-core (as seen in an old stag film), this has the sleazy goods atmospheric setting, and is definitely recommended. |

See article from collider.com. Director Rob Cohen confirmed in an interview that the film had been cut to achieve a PG-13 rating: There was trimming that needed to be done, but I was very conscious of it. You've got unrelenting violence and intensity, as they say. I love unrelenting intensity. You have to know, up front, what their bugaboos are, and you have to do the dance. I knew that, when you take a scantily clad girl and tie her up with her own stockings, and she's thinking she's going to have some rough trade sex, you're already in very dangerous territory with the MPAA, so I shot extra stuff and it wound up being cut back. I looked into that world of S&M and B&D, in my own life, and it's erotic. The whole thing is great, cinematically. I definitely made the scene about control and not about sex. We went back and forth on that sequence, two or three times, and then got the PG-13. |

And I [was] also rushed. [When] I released the director's cut -- it wasn't called a director's cut. It was called The Final Cut because [earlier] there was a rushed director's cut that I was responsible for. My third version three years later in 2007 was called A Final Cut and I actually added forty some odd minutes -- which I think makes the film better. I've been asked by Warner Brothers because they did so well with The Final Cut. They actually sold more than a million copies. They've asked me to go back next year and do a fourth version. I want to cut it down now because I added too much. I want it to come back a little bit. There's some trimming [needed]. |

~78:00s | Alice in Wonderland is a 1976 US adult comedy by Bud Townsend. With Kristine DeBell, Bucky Searles and Gila Havana. US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:
Summary Review: Wonderful An infectious happy film from the golden age of porn. Especially commendable to see the talented and very attractive Kristine DeBell get involved in a little hardcore. Not really full on, but the near mainstream quality of the film makes the few hardcore scenes that little bit more worthwhile. |

The gang marks her for murder, but her grandparents are killed instead. The girl sets out to take her revenge on the gang. Cheap little actioner is a swell ride for fans of films about chicks who kick ass. There's enough sleazy action and jiggly feminine exposures to keep most trash film lovers pleasantly amused. |

For the viewer that likes his horror gory Alligator has significant bright red blood splattered about as the beast chomps away and devours his victims throughout the city neighbourhoods and sewers. Alligator is great over the top fun and pure entertainment. |

97:03s | 1970 US Fantasy by Doris Wishman Cut by the BBFC in 2005 with the following comments: Cuts to scenes of a rape presented as enjoyable and to eroticised depictions of sexual assault. Cuts required to three scenes of sexual assault in the feature to remove elements which endorse or eroticise the activity. Cuts also required to trailer for Love Toy to remove suggestion of incest and to images of naked children in a documentary on the penis. The uncut region 1 DVD is available at US Amazon Review from Amazon US In the world of exploitation cinema, Doris Wishman was a trailblazer. She also was slightly nuts. So it's only natural that she would be the one with the [moxy] to make "The Amazing Transplant," the first penis transplant movie. Nerdy Arthur never had much luck with the ladies, but lately he's raping women.... The reason? That brand new penis he got (in a bloodless surgery) also gave him a new fetish that makes him lose control when he sees women wearing gold earrings! As if the story wasn't odd enough, the uninitiated might find Wishman's style a bit jarring. All dialog is post-dubbed so, in an apparent effort to avoid troublesome lip-synching, Doris tries not to turn the camera on anyone who's supposed to be speaking.In addition to Wishman's hypnotically surreal narrative, check out the included trailers to Wishman movies like "Deadly Weapons," "The Immoral Three" and her sickest movie, "Love Toy." Topping off this DVD trashfest are a couple of shorts, "Penis Facts" and a Navy sex hygiene film that's surprisingly explicit --and hilarious. |

Amazonia: The Catherine Miles Story is a 1985 Italian adventure by Mario Gariazzo. With Elvire Audray, Will Gonzales and Dick Campbell. See IMDb US: uncut and MPAA R Rated for:
Summary Review: Original A young woman seeks vengeance and finds love when her parents are killed in the Amazon and she is taken prisoner by an indigenous tribe of headhunters. I have almost all of the cannibal movies ever made and this is one of the most original. A girl takes a boat voyage with her parents, aunt and uncle. Her parents are killed with blowguns. A tribe of natives takes the girl captive and a warrior takes a particular liking to her, but it is said he killed her parents. The girl is modestly hot and topless through most of it. This is a must-see for fans of cannibals. |

85:06s | 1987 UK/Canadian horror film by John Hough BBFC cuts waived in 2005. The uncut region 0 DVD is available at UK Amazon Review from imdb: Unusual horror "American Gothic" is an unusual horror thriller in the simple way that it is character-driven - it doesn't care about suspense and does NOT go overboard in the gore department - although it lapses into Body Count Movie cliches. It also depends on the victims behaving much more stupidly than you would expect real people to (then again, that's commonplace in slasher films). It's a pretty dumb movie but also dumb enough to be mildly entertaining (although I must stress the word MILDLY). Rod Steiger as usual is given an opportunity to go wildly over the top, and Yvonne DeCarlo, a.k.a. Lily Munster, is on hand as his wife. These two veterans tend to act rings around their younger co-stars. |

Summary Review: Holds up well American soldier, obviously very skilled in martial arts, single-handedly takes on mercenaries in the Philippines. For being 20 years old this movie holds up
remarkably well. Some reviewers mention this as a "guilty pleasure" I disagree. With great fight scenes, icky sound effects every time somebody gets stabbed, a fun story and a energetic performance by Steve James there's no way you can classify this as a guilty pleasure. It's too good for that. |

Summary Review: Must Have Bad Action Films On a remote Caribbean island, Army Ranger Joe Armstrong investigates the disappearance of several marines, which leads him to The Lion, a super-criminal who has kidnapped a local scientist and mass-produced an army of mutant Ninja warriors. American Ninja 1, 2 & 3 represent everything that bad, low-budget action movies should be: negligible plotting, lame dialogue, wooding acting, and plenty of semi-believable martial-arts action. Not that plot really matters, since it's interrupted about every five minutes for a fight scene. Dudikoff and the other guy can't really act, but they can fight, and that's all that really matters. No self-respecting fan of bad action should be without this DVD. |

Summary Review: Lower quality Jackson is back, and now he has a new partner, karate champion Sean, as they must face a deadly terrorist known as The Cobra, who has infected Sean with a virus. I don't know why Dudikoff quit, but I wish that it hadn't happened. Not that I dislike David Bradley, but Dudikoff is just a better actor, without doubt. On the contrary, Bradley is better in the fighting scenes, which (as always) makes up an important part in the movie. American Ninja 3 has much of the same as in the two first movies, but with lower quality. |

David Bradley (American Ninja 3 & 4) returns but this time he plays a different character. Another bummer is that now the great fight sequences are gone. The fights from the previous Ninja instalments are more tamed down, kid friendly battle scenes with Hiro making stupid comments every now and then. It's as if the filmmakers were targeting fans of the Karate Kid series instead of fans the violent R-Rated American Ninja franchise. Mistake. |

Summary Review: Repulsive little flick A family moves into their new home, which proves to be evil, resulting in the demonic possession of the teenage son. Only the local priest can save him.
Amityville II: Possession is actually one
impressively repulsive little flick, trafficking as it does in a massively
dysfunctional family, incest, bloody murder, demonic possession, priests
neglecting needy parishioners to go romping off on a hunting expedition,
heads exploding like rotten melons, and lots of nasty creepy slimy things
factory designed to go bump in the night.

Summary Review: Aquatic serial killer A mysterious diver hiding in Amsterdam's canal system embarks on a rampage of gruesome murders, terrifying city officials and leaving few clues for the city's best detective. Dutch director Dick Maas clearly has a flair for entertainment. This serial killer film is lifted above the norm by a series of fantastic sequences; from creepy murder scenes to a hilariously over the top speed boat chase through the canals of Amsterdam, Amsterdamned is a delight to watch from start to finish. Dick Maas bombards the audience with stunning location shots, deliriously entertaining sequences and some very sinister moments of horror to ensure that Amsterdamned never becomes trite or dull - and besides, every time there's a danger of the film going downhill, our competent director is on hand with another grisly murder sequence! The atmosphere is always foreboding as it is made clear that the murderer could strike at any time. |

This is the point where several members of the Red Dawn Communist group are confronted by Angel, who literally blows out the brains of one of the terrorists, which is pure mutilation.

R Rated |
US: The Theatrical Version is cut by 10s and is MPAA
R Rated The film was controversial in the US where it was originally given an X certificate due to the central sex scene between Mickey Rourke and Lisa Bonnet. The US were a little sensitive to the inter-racial relationship. In addition, Lisa Bonet was best known for a squeaky clean role in the Cosby Show and the lovers were showered with blood dripping from the ceiling. 10s were therefore cut to achieve an R Rating. |

schlock monster pics (though I love both genres). Satan's Sadists is
Adamson at his prime in the action field and who could top that? That's why
Angels' Wild Women comes as such a disappointment. The amazing poster for this film delivers a lot more than the film does. For Adamson fanatics only. |

A cult film rated as a 'must have' for collectors of the genre. It is famour for a fetus eating scene that was cut for the US R Rated version.

101:05s | 1974 Italian horror by Alberto De Martino The Optimum DVD submitted in 2008 is said to be uncut but runs somewhat shorter than the 112 mins (108 mins after PAL speed up) for the cinema version and US DVD The region 2 DVD is available at
UK Amazon Review from US Amazon: Flawed but Good "The Antichrist", also known as "The Tempter", is a flawed but surprisingly good little Italian horror film. No doubt, a fair portion of the film (the latter part) is an "Exorcist" wannabe, but everything that leads up to the big exorcism is really quite different and interesting. And, yes, there's a big orgy scene during a Satanic ceremony at one point, and yes, it does involve Ippolita tasting the business end of a goat, but that part is more implied than anything. Now, as for the "rip-off" exorcism aspect (though I don't see why we should only have one film involving an exorcism and call all others "rip-offs"), yeah, some of the effects are laughable and it doesn't have the scares of the classic Linda Blair film (and Carla Gravina is no hottie-hot-hottie Linda Blair), but it still works for the story being presented and has its own, lighter brand of creepiness. I did find it rather amusing how the characters of the film constantly sent mixed messages about what they believed in, in regards to supernatural vs. science, as well as claiming things like psychic phenomenon to be established scientific facts, but on the whole this movie is successful as what it should be, a piece of entertainment. It is entertaining throughout, and the story is engaging. |

94:45s | 1988 Hong Kong film by Kar-wai Wong The 2006 Cantonese Version Tartan DVD was passed 18 uncut The uncut region 2 DVD is available at
UK Amazon Review from UK Amazon: Unconventional gangster movie As tears go by is an interesting and cinematographically beautiful film set in Mongkok, a district in Hong Kong. This movie is directed by Won Kar Wai, an artist that can take a premise and develop it so well that the story he tells turns into reality. In this case, that premise is how to tell the story of a person without a future, of someone that believes that People like us don't have tomorrows. The main character of As tears go by is Wah (Andy Lau), a well-known Hong Kong mobster that leads a very dangerous life. He is respected and feared, and has only two objectives in life: to stay alive and to take care of his family. That last objective is a little difficult in what concerns to his younger brother Fly (Jackie Cheung), a young man that wants to belong to a triad, but doesn't have what it takes to be respected in a violent environment. From my point of view, this unconventional gangster movie is worth your time. |

Au Pair Girls is a 1972 UK sex comedy by Val Guest.
With Astrid Frank, Johnny Briggs and Gabrielle Drake. US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:
Summary review: Gabrielle Drake Four sexy young foreign girls come to England as au pairs and quickly become quite intimate with their employers, host families, and just about everyone else they encounter. The most notable contributions are from the British Gabrielle Drake playing a Scandinavian, and Me Me Lay taking a break from Italian cannibal films. Otherwise pretty standard sex comedy fare. |

2009 action adventure by James Cameron.
With Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana and Sigourney Weaver.See IMDb The Extended Version was passed 12 uncut for:
See pictorial version details from movie-censorship.com: The Extended Edition is based upon the Special Edition and is nearly completely identical to it - except for the opening of the film. Initially, Avatar was to start on Earth. In the end, Cameron removed these scenes, because they would needlessly delay the plot. They are restored here more as a DVD Extra than anything adding to the film. |

The Special Edition was passed 12 uncut for:
Based on article from digitalspy.co.uk James Cameron has re-inserted the Na'vi lovemaking scene. Cameron explained that he removed the scene for the initial theatrical run after getting a negative reaction from test audiences: I always felt that it was a good moment, so I wanted to put it back in, Cameron described the lovemaking scene between Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana noting that it lasts all of about 20 seconds. It's been restored, every last frame of it. Seriously. I would say, just so that we correctly manage people's expectations, it does not change our rating at all. I would call it more of an alien foreplay scene. It's not like they're ripping their clothes off and going at it. |

The Avengers is a 2012 USA action sci-fi by Joss Whedon.
With Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson. See IMDb UK: Passed 12 uncut for moderate fantasy violence for:
US: Uncut and MPAA PG-13 rated for:
The BBFC confirmed that it had passed the uncut version of the stabbing at 12A/12. The BBFC wrote: A slightly stronger moment occurs when a man is stabbed through the back by the chief villain's spear. The detail of the impact is not shown, only the tip of the spear protruding from the man's chest with a small amount of blood on it. The image is not dwelt upon and serves an important narrative purpose. The BBFC's Guidelines at 12A'/'12 state Moderate violence is allowed but should not dwell on detail. There should be no emphasis on injuries or blood, but occasional gory moments may be permitted if justified by the context. The uncut version has appeared in Italy, Belgium and Australia |

1969 Italy drama by Eriprando Visconti The BBFC cut the 1971 cinema release The original running time was noted as 104:11s = 100:01s The uncut region 2 DVD is available via UK Amazon See review from IMDb: Devastating drama This is a very serious and devastating drama, based on true events that took place early in 17th Century in Italy and emphasizing on the hypocrisy and abuse of power of the Catholic Church. The story is incredibly convoluted and often difficult to follow, but at the same time truly fascinating and the recreation of time & era are brilliant. For as far as I remember the stuff my high-school history teacher attempted to tell me, the political background of this film is accurate to the tiniest detail. It's also a very well made film, especially considering the low production values! The cinematography and decors are extremely stylish and the film also benefits from a splendid Ennio Morricone score. The acting is great with Antonio Sabato (Seven Blood-Stained Orchids) and Anne Heywood (What Waits Below) bringing an amazing and plausible chemistry on screen. A beautiful movie, but certainly not for all tastes. |

police, terrorize a salesgirl in a roadside grocery store, then proceed to
hide-out in a seemingly deserted farmhouse. They soon discover that a young
girl, Lisa, and her paralyzed grandfather live there. The gang attempt some
sleazy deeds, but Lisa shows how she can work an axe in self defence. The movie doesn't really go anywhere, but it is a classic of its kind. |

However the DPP said the film would still be prosecutable as obscene as it was all those years ago. So one cut is necessary to make it legal. |
