It was passed later in 1994 after extensive cutting The distributors resubmitted the video shorn of 7.5 minutes of the most brutal violence, after which a further 1.5 minutes was cut by the Board, removing most of the remaining kicks to the head and face, the smashing of heads against walls, floors and pillars, the biting of ears and glamorising of weaponry. |

109:03s | The Entertainment in Video version was cut when
submitted in 1995 Cut by 3s for the cinema version and 20s for video. The BBFC site suggests that the cuts were the same for both versions so perhaps different implementations of the required cut. From DVD Times: The BBFC cut one shot, nine minutes in: Bubby is sitting in a chair, tugging at a string which is around his cat’s neck. The cat seems to be resisting, which is presumably why the BBFC considered that it was distressed, making the shot fall foul of the Animals Act. This cut unfortunately removed the following dialogue: |

76:57s | 1975 Swiss drama by Jess Franco (Anchor Bay
Entertainment UK) Censorship is alive and well at the British Board of Film Censors. Real sex was banned from this film without any justification whatsoever. The cut scene is neither obscene nor harmful yet its removal was compulsory. Surely this is an abuse of our human rights to free speech. It is simply not good enough to say that real sex cannot be shown because the film does not qualify as a sex work. The censors cut this video when submitted in 2004 with the following statement: Cuts required to remove explicit sight of sexual activity (digital penetration) in order to achieve an 18 classification. An R18 uncut was not available for this non-sex work. The explicit imagery was not deemed to have a sufficient narrative justification in the Jess Franco work Barbed Wire Dolls, which blurred the line between erotic drama and sex work. The BBFC kindly provided a further clarification: According to our Guidelines, you cannot show
unsimulated sex at '18' if it is a 'sex work' (ie a work whose main purpose
is to sexually arouse). Real sex in a 'sex work' makes it 'R18'. However,
this Jess Franco film is not a 'sex work'. In practice I agree that the possibility of censorship due to my observation above is unlikely because no distributor of a DVD like Barbed Wire Dolls wants to be restricted to sex shop sales. However I would like to point out that there is a theoretical hole in the VRA whereby a Die Hard type action film with an explicit, loving and arousing sex scene would have to be censored without justification of harm or illegality. |

Video) Thanks to Frosby. There are no BBFC cuts so perhaps the cut was made by the distributor: I have seen both Region's 1 and 2 of this film and found at cut of about 5 to 10 seconds where George Clooney and Arnie tug and tussle for Mr Freeze's ice weapon, Clooney says to Mr Freeze didn't your mother ever tell you not to play with guns and cuts straight to batman lifting freeze in the air with the barrel of the gun. |

134:15s | 2005 US/UK action
film by Christopher Nolan (Warner Home Video) From SBBFC The sound editing was altered following a BBFC 'advice viewing'. The sounds of crunchy implied headbutts were reduced to lessen the impact of the violence which enabled the work to be granted a 12A certificate. Thanks to Gavin My friends and I checked with the BBFC and the film is definitely NOT cut in any way. The info on SBBFC is incorrect. Just to be clear - the UK version is NOT edited, and all sound effects are loud and clear. I have also compared the waveforms of the R2 DVD to the R1 edition and they are identical. |

151:46s | 2003 Japanese action film by by Kenta Fukasaku;
Kinji Fukasaku (Tartan) I think the 8s of cuts can be discounted: Cut in 2006 with the following BBFC comment: One cut was required to remove the Japanese text and English subtitle which state: "This film is restricted to aged 15 and over," in order to avoid confusion. The region 0 DVD is available at UK Amazon Review from imdb This is a terrible movie. Remove the intelligent satire and add a completely shoddy script, then make the movie drag past two hours so you get bored an hour into it. The original was smart, brutal and even had moments of humour. It was exciting to the end. BR2 has NOTHING remotely close - even the violence was predictable. What a waste. A real mess.

The cinema version was cut in 2006 with the following BBFC comment: Distributor chose to remove scene of sexualised asphyxiation in order to achieve the requested '15'. An uncut '18' was available'. The BBFC explained further in their 2006 Annual Report: The film contained a brief, comic sex scene that included sight of a man being asphyxiated with a plastic bag. The clear detail, together with the potential for harm amongst teen viewers for whom the dangers of sexual asphyxiation might not be clear, seemed to warrant an ‘18’ certificate. But as Kirei points out, the same scene would perversely be banned from an R18 film. |

The BBFC also made cuts where there's about a tenth of a second where you could actually see a bit of the guys bollocks and therefore work out they were really doing it. |

No BBFC cuts listed for the 1993 Entertainment in Video version so it appears that the video has suffered pre-cuts The duel between Tommy (Philip Rhee) and the Asian, ponytailed gladiator has been severely shortened for the U.K prints. A lengthy segment of the fight in which the gladiator uses two pairs of silver nunchakus is missing. The scene lasts twice as long in the uncut version, which has been shown in the past on Sky. The version currently screening on Bravo, however, appears to be the same as the video except for an extra shot of James (Tommy's native brother) having his finger blown off - which isn't in Sky's print. |

94:26s | 1971 Hong Kong martial arts film by Wei Lo (Universal
Pictures) The cinema release was cut in 1974. The video versions have never been listed as having being cut but on the British DVD version there is a feature-length commentary that states that the "handsaw-in-the-head scene" was included in the final cut of the Hong Kong version of the film, but the censors ordered it removed along with an extended scene of Bruce seeing the severed body parts in the ice and the family murdered. At the time the film was made, archiving footage was difficult and expensive, so the scenes do not exist any more. |

101:12s | 1976 Italian film by Enzo G Castellari (Michael Lee) Passed with cuts on video in 2002 with the following BBFC comment: Compulsory cuts were required to scenes of violent rape focusing on forcible breast exposure and female nudity The uncut region 1 DVD is available at US Amazon Review from imdb My interest in Italian cinema is usually limited to horror films, but I made an exception for this crime flick - and I'm certainly glad that I did! Actually, The Big Racket isn't a world away from the popular Italian Giallo styling, only instead of having a vicious murderer on the loose; we have a small town at the mercy of a group of organised thugs. For a film with this sort of plot, it's surprising just how good The Big Racket is. Italian films from the seventies have a bad reputation for not making a lot of sense, but not only does this one make sense - it benefits from a great, multi-angled story as well. The film sees a bunch of criminals sabotaging local
businesses and asking for protection money from the owners to make them
stop. The police presence in the town is largely ineffective, with the
exception of one man - Inspector Nico Palmieri. The script is really good, and finds time to flesh out its characters as well as deliver witty dialogue that is always a part of this movie's bigger budget American cousins. It all boils down to a fabulous conclusion which serves in ensuring the movie gets the bloody end it deserves, as well as rounding off the story perfectly. |
