78:18s | 1981 US film by Bruce Clark (ILC Prime) Cuts waived when resubmitted in 2002 (although it has been suggested that the MPAA may also have a hack at the maggot rape scene) The uncut region 0 DVD is available at UK Amazon Amazon Review: I first saw this title in 1983 on VHS. I was a lot younger and it blew my mind, I thought it was great. Having seen it again since it has lost it little of its lustre and it looks very dated. The effects are mid-range the acting is mid-ranged, and the story is mid-ranged too. However, it has that B movie charm and can be a little gory. So lie back and laugh and enjoy this lovely piece of sci-fi hokum. |

92:04s | (Rank Video Library) I guess the nunchuks scene may have been the casualty (Beware! contains 417KByte mpeg1 video clip) Comparison of the UK Rank video and a Video-CD from Malaysia reveals that an entire 4 minute fight scene has been substituted. Late on in the film the Chinese version shows a nunchucks fight between Bruce Lee and a villain dressed all in black. In the Rank Video, this is replaced with a far less savage battle between Bruce Lee and a different guy dressed all in white with no nunchucks to be seen. Another version from Malaysia has a PAL running time of 100:18s, suggesting cuts of 8minutes somewhere along the line. |

76:06s | 2001 US film by Adam Ripp (MIA Video Entertainment) Cut by the BBFC in 2004 with the following explanation: Cut required to remove a scene of clear and instructive detail on the preparation of illegal drugs. The uncut region 1 DVD is available via UK Amazon Amazon Review If you're familiar with the works of the danish directors who've signed the DOGMA charter, GANG TAPES may please you with its improbable camera movements and its documentary style. If not, stay away from this movie. I must admit that the scenes of violence of GANG TAPES are, in my opinion, far more impressive than those shown in the Hollywood thrillers. You never know what will happen next on the screen and you really feel in your guts the paranoia which is the life's companion of these people. And the impacts of the bullets in the body of the victims will hit you as if you were present in the hot streets of the city of the angels. |

For the film’s DVD release the distributors reinstated the cut material, in particular shots of the skin on Johnny’s face breaking and falling away. These more detailed and gory shots added significantly to the intensity and horror of the sequence and necessitated an increase in category from 12A to 15 |

91:23s | 1978 US action film by Ted Post (Missing in
Action) Same cuts to the cinema release of 1979 and the video version submitted in 1991 From IMDb
The uncut region 1 DVD is available at US Amazon Review from Amazon US This low-budget 'gem' from 1977 was a modest hit and pretty much made Chuck Norris a star. Norris is a former CIA commando whose dark past comes back to haunt him when the politician that set him up in a raid turned death trap needs to erase that unpleasant part of history. This is an old school action movie, back when they bothered to have plot and mystery prior to the fist fights and car chases, and it will probably bore many expecting wall to wall kung-fu action. Nothing happens until nearly an hour into the movie, then the pay off begins. As I said, it is a low budget movie, one with Southern California locations filling in for Vietnam as well as East Coast locations. Pretty giggle inducing. But the movie still works when watched in the context of its era (70s exploitation) and director Ted Post (Hang 'Em High, Magnum Force, Beneath the Planet of the Apes, etc.) keeps the movie professional looking, at least. Recommended only to Norris fans on a nostalgia kick. |

The BBFC felt that the possibility that such a scene could be viewed and copied by mischievous children was too great to ignore. The BBFC also cut the sense of mounting excitement with which the boys greet the escalating devastation. |
