Cut in 2006 with the following BBFC comment: The cuts were Compulsory. Cut required to public indecency (in this case a woman flashing her breasts on a street in London)

Cut in 2006 with the following BBFC comment:

Distributor was required to remove a potentially imitable technique (a child wrapping a washing-line cord around his neck) in order to achieve a 15 certificate. The BBFC requested cuts totalling 7 seconds but the distributor chose to make further cuts to the sequence.

The BBFC explained further in their 2006 Annual Report:

Alan Bleasdale’s drama featured the depiction of a young boy hanging himself on a washing line. The process of hanging was shown in some detail, including some rather novel techniques, and the boy hanged for some time before being rescued, apparently unhurt. The scene as a whole was considered potentially harmful and compulsory cuts were made to the detailed shots showing the boy wrapping the washing line around his neck.

The BBFC cuts of 2003 were justified as follows:

A softcore version of American in Prague

Video cuts were made in 1995 and 1997 as it was felt that the star appeal of Sylvester Stallone would lead to the video being watched by teenage boys of less than 15.

The UK video version has been cut in three places:

• Two headbutts have been cut from the fight between Dredd and Mean Machine
• A headbutt has also been cut from the fight between Hershey and Ilsa.

• Euer Weg führt durch die Hölle

Anchor Bay submitted a TV or toned down version in 2006 which wasn't cut by the BBFC.

15s s cut by the BBFC in 2003 with the following comment:

Cut required to remove easily imitable detail of a lesser known suicide technique.

They were referring to cutting of the wrists

Cuts waived when resubmitted in 2005.

It seems that the previous cuts are somehow still in the recent US region 1 release but the UK release seems uncut. Those collecting high quality transfers should do a little research before buying.

Review from imdb

Just Before Dawn is a gem of a slasher flick. More like the Hills Have Eyes than Friday the 13th, this film stands on its own due to it's atmospheric look and style and it's commitment to building it's characters. The film is effectively creepy throughout, never wholly revealing the killer to you, instead masking the killer or killers, through shadows and camera work.

 The film score is quite haunting and unlike other slasher films it doesn't spike up every time someone moves, it just builds along with the suspense and flows with the story. The film was recently re-made, loosely, as Wrong Turn. If you can find Just Before Dawn I highly recommend watching it, with the lights out.

• A scene showing a machete being pushed though a guy's groin and then emerging from the back was shortened

• Les Visiteurs en Amérique

The cinema release of 2001 and then the videos/DVDs of 2002 were all similarly cut. The BBFC commented:

Distributor chose to cut dangerous imitable behaviour (pouring bleach into bathwater, eating toxic disinfectant toilet cakes) and reduce sound of violent blows to achieve a "PG". A "12" uncut was available to the distributor.

The UK release is also edited differently  to the French version. No contentious material effected though.

The uncut region 1 DVD is available at US Amazon

Review from US Amazon: A Keeper

An outstanding comedy, Just Visiting, brings to the screen the story of a medieval French prince who is about to marry an English princess when he is magically transferred to the future. Things get a bit more complicated when he falls in love with his soon-to-be bride's great-great-great-granddaughter...

Jean Reno, Christina Applegate, and the rest of the cast, have outdone themselves with their performances, which are exceptional to say the least! All the actors, without exceptions, give it their 100% and it really shows (the chemistry is AMAZING)! Very well written and very well presented, the movie is without a doubt guaranteed to provide more than just a few laughs.
