| The Happening | cut |
|
2008 US/India drama by M. Night Shyamalan The BBFC passed a pre-cut cinema version of the film 15 in 2008 with the following explanation:
THE
HAPPENING is a thriller about a couple and a young girl trying to escape
a mysterious toxin causing people to commit suicide and murder. The work
was passed '15' for frequent images of suicide and moderate bloody
injury. Thanks to Christian: Euro Cut M. Night Shyamalan has stated in an interview with a German news magazine that the German version has been cut losing shots of:
Some of these shots do turn up in the Red Band trailer and I strongly
suspect that these aren't the only shots that were cut, due to the
erratic editing other viewers already mentioned. This suggests that this may indeed not be a matter of national censorship but that 20th Century Fox might well have created a Euro-cut and is hoping to cash in on an Unrated Director's Cut DVD later on. |

91:39s | 1990 US action film by Bruce Malmuth (Warner Home Video) A wide screen version was submitted in 1999. No cuts mentioned by the BBFC and the running time seems to have been extended by 13s it appears that the cuts have been restored for DVD Shown uncut on Channel 5 in June 2006 adding weight to the fact that this version is uncut. From Greg: German DVD version I recently bought the German DVD with English language etc. From Christian, April 2008: German 16 vs 18 There are two versions of that DVD, one rated 16, which I guess must be the one he saw, and a completely uncut one, which is rated 18. As this version is on the "Index" (A list of media considered particularly harmful to minors), it would not be on open display in most shops, but it does exist and is freely available to adults. |

|
111:08s |
The 2007 cinema release and the 15 rated 2008 DVD versions were cut according to the following BBFC comment: Distributor chose to remove strong visual sex reference, sight of donkey's erect penis in close proximity to woman, to achieve a 15 classification. An 18 uncut was available to the distributor. The distributor chose to cover up the donkey’s erection with a black rectangle on screen. The BBFC explained further: THE HEARTBREAK KID is a mix of screwball, farce
and sex comedy. It was passed '15' for very strong language and sex
references. BBFC Guidelines on language at '15' state that "the strongest
terms (eg 'cunt') will only be acceptable where justified by the context".
In the context of this film, that is by a woman, in pain, to a man and with
obvious comic intent it was felt that the word could be passed at that
level. The Guidelines for sex at the same category state that "Sexual
activity may be portrayed but without strong detail. There may be strong
verbal references to sexual behaviour". The film contains several scenes
that portray strong sex play, including sado masochistic acts and
bestiality, but all presented in a comic way that avoids strong detail. |

89:18s | 1987 UK film by Clive Barker (Video Collection International) The cuts were waived when resubmitted in 1998. The uncut region 2 DVD box set is available at UK Amazon There are also MPAA cuts but it seems that Barker was happy with the result after these cuts and the current version is his preferred cut. (Possibly after a test screening suggested that the audience proved hostile to the Cenobite carnage during the assault on Kirsty's room ). Review from imdb: Dark Masterpiece
Hellraiser is a dark masterpiece from the twisted world
of Clive Barker. Based upon his novel The Hellbound Heart, Barker
takes us on a trip where people desperate for kicks search out for the
ultimate thrill. A sleaze ball named Frank manages to get his oily mitts
upon a gaudy looking Rubik's cube that he bought at a bizarre bazaar from a
greasy moth eating merchant. Frank (never the sharpest tool in the drawer)
gets more than he bargain for when he some how manages to open it up. |

From a different source, additional cuts are described
The BBFC then imposed further cuts of 7s for the video release. The video version loses 2s of a hand being severed in Channard's hospital visit scene. The Unrated US version is available on the New World label. Furthermore there is a dream scene in hell that is only available on Laserdisc and that runs 1 min. 41 seconds Sky showed the completely uncut version of Hellbound, May 2003, on Sky 1. It had the razor scenes in it and all other cuts were restored. Same as the US unrated version. Either they didn't know what they were screening or they have more balls than Channel 4 which showed a totally butchered version last year. |

78:27s | 2001 release (Universal Pictures) 27s cut by the BBFC and 21s by the distributor For the forthcoming DVD release, the minor cut to the murder of the TV salesman has been waived. In addition, many of the cuts previously made to the camcorder sequence have been removed, including the re-editing of this scene. Whereas the scene was cut by 24 seconds on film and by a total of 1 minute 11 seconds (plus reordering) on video, it has now been cut by only 10 seconds in all to remove the sexualised image of the woman victim's breasts being mauled. The opening sequence showing the female corpse on the toilet, has, however, once again been deleted as per the previous UK film and video releases. However, the story is not quite that simple. The BBFC only insisted on 27 seconds of cuts (comprising 10 seconds from the camcorder sequence and 17 seconds from the 'corpse on toilet' scene), but an additional 21 seconds of cuts were in fact made by the distributor. The reason for this lies in the corpse on toilet shot. As stated above, this entire scene was cut from the previous film and video releases. On this occasion, however, the Board agreed that the beginning of the scene could be left in, showing the camera panning across the room to reveal the corpse on the toilet. The scene could then be cut after the corpse is revealed to remove only the zoom into and pan down the woman's blood stained body. However, the distributor chose to remove the entire sequence as per the previous film and video releases, rather than merely edit out the last part of the scene. That is unfortunate in one sense but it is, of course, their choice. In fact, they have probably decided to do it this way because the cut looks too obvious if made in the way we directed, whereas by removing the whole sequence what could have looked rather clumsy actually runs smoothly. The US version on MPI Home Video is uncut as are the video versions from Germany & the Netherlands. |

85:59s | 1991 France/UK/Argentina action film by Russell Mulcahy
(Entertainment in Video) Same cuts to cinema and video version of 1991. Cut to obtain a 15 rating From IMDb
The film was substantially edited down for non-contentious pacing reasons. A directors cut, ie Renegade Version, restored these edits The uncut region 1 Renegade Version is available at US Amazon Review from Amazon US: Confusing My what a confusing film this is! What happened to the concept of the valliant poet warrior introduced in 'Highlander' and why, or better put how has Ramirez returned, head intact? Even worse, what's all this silliness about the alien nature of the Immortals and their home planet Ziest? ABSURD! (I haven't even mentioned that the original film didn't leave an opening for a sequel. MacLeod was the last Immortal left and the prophecy was fulfilled. Well, so much for plot accuracy). |

93:36s | 1994 Canadian/French/UK action film by Andrew Morahan (Entertainment in
Video) Cut by the BBFC for video in 1995. Cut o achieve a 15 rating
The uncut region 1 DVD is available at US Amazon Review from IMDb This is definitely more of a sequel than Highlander
2: The Quickening was. With respect to the first Highlander this film
actually follows it pretty well. It's funny though because it totally
disregards the existence of Highlander 2. In Highlander 2 they show Brenda
Wyatt (the main girl in the first Highlander film) dying from the effects of
a depleted ozone layer, but in this film they mention that she was killed in
a car accident. Anyhow, if you pretend that Highlander 2 doesn't exist, this
actually makes a good deal of sense with regard to the original Highlander.
The only qualm I have with the film is how could Connor MacLeod think he has
"the prize" when there are still 3 more immortals out there? That doesn't
really seem to make sense, but maybe some die-hard Highlander fan can
explain it to me. |

The remake of this classic psychological horror
thriller turned out to be FAR better than we expected. Hitcher (2007) is a
good film in its own right; you don't need to refer back to the original or
compare the two to get a buzz out of watching the new interpretation. |

The 2007 cinema release was originally awarded an uncut 18 certificate. The decision was rapidly reviewed when the distributors took advice, made a few cuts and resubmitted the film. The BBFC commented: Following advice by the BBFC the distributor elected to make minor cuts to the strongest moments of violence in order to achieve the required '15' certificate. And from the 2007 BBFC Annual Report: Two scenes – one in which blood pumped at some length from the wound of a dying man and another in which blood sprayed from a man whose throat had been fatally cut – fitted the Guideline description of ‘the strongest gory images’ and as such ‘unlikely to be acceptable’ at ‘15’. The distributor wanted a ‘15’ classification and so opted to remove the focus on sadism and copious bloodshed in the wake of wounds in both sequences to secure a ‘15’ classification. |

2007 US/France action film by Xavier Gens (20th Century
Fox) The DVD was submitted in 2008 and is noted by the BBFC as the extended version, presumably the uncut unrated version. Sold as the 'Extreme Edition' The uncut region 2 DVD is available at UK Amazon Review from UK Amazon: It's not very often you can come away from watching
a game-movie and think "well that was pretty damn good!" but this here is
one where I did. I'm a pretty big fan of the Hitman games with Blood Money
being one of my favourites of all time and when I first heard that Timothy
Olyphant had been chosen to play the notorious anti-hero Agent 47, I had
pretty much written the film off completely as I really didn't think he fit
the part well at all. I've now watched the film after a friend's strong
recommendation and have been proved completely wrong by this casting
decision as I now think there would be no one better for the role. The
character is confident and has no feelings, just like in the games and
Olyphant pulls this off perfectly. Dougray Scott also plays an excellent
part in his role as the Interpol agent, in fact this is one of the best
performances I've ever seen him in. |

98:04s | 2001 UK thriller by Nick Hamm (Pathe) From imdb The film was cut by the distributor to qualify for a "15" rating in the UK. The cuts include the re-dubbing of the word 'cunt'. Ironically, the 'deleted scenes' section on the UK DVD release is rated '18', therefore earning the DVD an '18' overall, even though the film is only a '15'. The same version of the film was released worldwide, so an uncut version/director's cut DVD sadly isn't available anywhere. It has been suggested that the Dutch release is uncut. |

76:26s | 1981 Italian horror film by Lucio Fulci (Protected) The additional video cuts of 1988 were waived in 2001 along with some cinema cuts to the poker murder. The majority of the cinema cuts are retained though. The BBFC explained: Cuts required to two sequences of detailed violence against women (stabs to chest and neck with sharp spike, knife cutting throat), in accordance with BBFC policy on violence, and to take into account recent, successful prosecutions of the uncut version under the Obscene Publications Act 1959. The uncut region 0 DVD is available from US Amazon Review from US Amazon This is the third in a loose trilogy of films by Italian master of the macabre Lucio Fulci set in New England that evoke the uncanny and cosmic terrors of H.P. Lovecraft. The other two films City of the Living Dead and The Beyond are quite a bit better than House by the Cemetery, but that doesn't mean this film is totally without merit. At times Fulci succeeds very well in creating an atmosphere of dread and fear, and the film is not without some subtle moments of terror, due mainly to an eerie soundtrack and a couple of creepy kids. But fans of Fulci and Italian horror cinema in general are not interested in the type of subtle scares one might find in English ghost stories; instead his films are marked by unusual levels of graphic violence. Although this film is not without its moments (throats ripped out, maggot ridden bodies and decapitation), the violence seems quite muted compared to other Fulci films. Fulci is perhaps aiming too strongly for the atmosphere of Lovecraft, and subsequently forgets to invest in his film the graphic and absurdly violent scenes which have afforded his work a cult following. The film as is usually the case with Fulci makes little sense and is full of continuity errors, its difficult to know whether this is down to bad editing, or an intentional effort to create an uncanny world in which time and space are confused, personally I prefer the latter possibility. There has always been something dream like and hallucinatory about Italian horror cinema and this film doesn't disappoint on that level. |

114:19s | 2004 Hong Kong martial arts film by Yimou Zhang (Pathe
Distribution) Same cuts to the cinema and video versions. The BBFC stated: Cuts required to three instances of real animal cruelty (horses made to fall using techniques likely to result in serious injury). This Chinese martial arts extravaganza, contained four horsefalls in a chase scene set in a forest. Three of the falls appeared to have been achieved using cruel techniques, including use of trip wires. The production company contended that precautions, such as the placing of mattresses on the forest floor hidden by leaves and sand, the dampness of the land surface and the use of horse trainers and soft ropes, removed any element of cruelty. The sequence was shown to an expert veterinarian, experienced in supervising filmed animal action, who considered and rejected the film maker’s arguments. The three cruel and dangerous horsefalls were therefore removed. |

House of Whipcord aka

![]() |
1974 UK horror film by Pete Walker (Anchor Bay) The cuts were restored for the 1995 Redemption Films video and hence also the 2005 Anchor Bay DVD The uncut region 2 DVD is available at UK Amazon Review from IMDb I'm shocked that this doesn't get mentioned more
often! Pete Walker's film is both a sleazy seventies exploitation classic
and a striking indictment of the justice system. The film serves as a
warning against what would happen if private institutions were given the
power to decide what is apt punishment for certain crimes, and the
dedication of the film to all those who believe in capital punishment shows
Pete Walker's love for controversy. The plot takes place in an old house,
which doubles up as a private institution ran by a senile judge, his
unforgiving partner; the female warden of the prison and two equally vile
female orderlies. They punish girls for crimes committed that weren't, in
their eyes, properly punished by the corrupt British courts. The film benefits from a handful of great performances; the best of which coming from Barbara Markham, who gives a powerhouse performance in the role of the head of the institution. Frightmare star Sheila Keith, and Dorothy Gordon are the orderlies, while Patrick Barr is brilliantly understated in his role as the ineffective Justice of the prison. Penny Irving is the young French victim at the centre of the story; but her performance is brought down by her ridiculous French accent! On the whole, this is a vastly underrated and under seen seventies gem that must be seen by anyone who gets the chance to see it! |
