BBFC Cuts J

Jack Frost 2: Revenge of the Mutant Killer Snowman

• Jack Frost II

There were no BBFC cuts to the 2000 High Fliers DVD but this was a pre-cut TV version.

From cuts details on IMDb

The major differences between the uncut US DVD and the UK version are:

• The deadly snowball fight is more gruesome. Tons of Blood splatters out from a man's arm onto a woman right after it's ripped off by the snowball. Also, there are shots of people getting gutted and killed by flying icicles and snow balls, with lots of blood everywhere. The VHS version cuts out before anybody is hit by the icicles or dies.
• There is nudity in the scene where the woman jumps into the pool naked.
• More gore in the scene where the three girls are killed by the beachside when Jack first comes onto the island.
• Profanity is in in this version (barely any in the VHS).
• More gore to practically every other murder in the movie. The DVD version also has a higher body count because the VHS cuts a lot of deaths out.

Review from US Amazon: Campy

This movie was never intended to be a horror/scary movie. The filmmakers CLEARLY meant for it to be a campy, funny film, with a lot of humorous deaths along the way. If you watch it with that in mind - NOT expecting anything truly scary - but just a disposable, kill-90-minutes-on-a-Saturday-afternoon movie.

The production values are nil, and the acting and script are unquestionably sub-par, but on that one certain level - that very specific level I mentioned previously - this movie actually has some funny scenes.

Summary Review: Yvette Is A Dish!

OK, so this movie is a typical Roger Corman production with the usual Roger Corman production values. That makes it, of course, a really worthwhile film. Corman may have made some weirdos, but all of his movies are fun.

Tommy Lee Jones was perfectly cast in Jackson County Jail. Yvette Mimieux is as sexy as she has ever been. And, her performance is Grade A.

This movie has a large cult following for various reasons. And, even though it's not the best of it's genre, it is a film worth the price.

• UK 1977 cinema release

Jade

The European Version was passed 18 without BBFC cuts for the The 1995 cinema release and 1996 CIC video

The Jail of No Return

Jake's Progress: Episodes 1-6

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.

Japón

• Japan

The BBFC cut 51s from the 2003 Artificial Eye DVD. Cuts required to two scenes involving real animal cruelty (an unsuccessful attempt to strangle a bird which then stumbles around injured on the ground; a dog being forced to 'sing along' to a song through the application of a painful stimulus).

Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday

• Friday the 13th IX

See video from youtube.com
 

Uncut version is available at:

Unrated

UK: The Unrated Version was passed 18 uncut for:

• UK 2003 Pathe R2 DVD via UK Amazon

US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:

• US 2002 New Line (Unrated + Theatrical) R1 DVD at US Amazon

Summary Review: Change of Direction

The secret of Jason's evil is revealed. It is up to the last remaining descendant of the Voorhees family to stop Jason before he becomes immortal and unstoppable.

A completely different direction for the series. Jason, himself, appears for about ten or fifteen minutes throughout, leaving the remaining time to focus on the mythology that surrounds him.

While it is a refreshing change to see Friday the 13th take a different step, it all seems a bit too much like a Halloween rip off. Friday the 13th is a franchise with strict rules and while it's always a pleasure to bend rules slightly, when you break them into smithereens you are usually left with a mess. This is what Jason Goes to Hell is like.

Part 9 isn't great but if you are a fan of the genre you'll watch it anyway.

2:49s

R Rated

• UK 1993 Guild VHS

From cuts details on IMDb

• The sex scene is longer and more graphic in the Unrated Version.
• Much more gory violence in the Unrated Version; nearly all characters cough up blood as they are being killed, the shot of the tent pole being rammed through the girl, the shot of the chubby guy's hand being broken off, the shot of Robert (Jason) crushing the girl's head and blood spurting out (she then says "go to hell"), Coroner(Jason swings the scalpel more times at the girl outside the tent.
• The shot of the creature crawling up Diana's dress was also omitted from the R-rated version.
• After Jason leaves Josh's body, his jaw can be seen on the floor as it melts. This was cut for the "R" rated version. The "R" version also omits most of the heart-eating scene near the beginning.

US: Cut and MPAA R Rated for:

• US New Line Online Rent [US only] at US Amazon
• US 2004 New Line R1 DVD at US Amazon

From IMDb. Region 1 DVD commentary notes scenes that were edited to avoid an NC-17. The scenes are:

• A less bloodier take of Dr. Wimmer's spear through stomach scene.
• A shot of an arm being lobbed off with a blood spurt
• A very small amount of frames were removed from the shot of Adrienne's head after it was shattered (the bloody stump).

• A throat being cut is missing
• A half man crawling has been cut
• Sucked Out Through Hole scene has been cut

There's no sign of the cuts being restored, so for the moment this is the best available version.

Jasper: Journey to the End of the World

• Jasper und das Limonadenkomplott

Passed U after 1:10s of BBFC cuts for a U rating for:

• UK 2010 Soda R2 DVD

The BBFC commented:

• Company was required to remove a scene of potentially dangerous imitable behaviour (in this case, a character spinning around inside a washing machine)
• In the removed scene, a bird becomes trapped inside a washing machine and a young girl and a penguin try to rescue it, but instead make the situation worse by pressing the wrong buttons, including starting the spin cycle. The bird is shown to suffer no adverse effects from its ordeal, and the little penguin tampers with electrical sockets in order to stop the washing machine, resulting in a power cut.

Review from UK Amazon: Twisted Love Story

As a lover of Gainsbourg's music, I was curious to see what his directorial debut would be like -- I went in with high hopes and wasn't disappointed. People familiar with Gainsbourg's body of work will know to expect to unexpected, what with his love for the surreal, bizarre and perverted.

Jane Birkin stars as Johnny, a tomboy truck-stop waitress, who falls in love/lust with homosexual garbage truck driver Krassky, played by Joe Dallesandro. Krassky leaves his boyfriend to pursue a relationship with Johnny, but things are more complex than they seem -- especially in the bedroom.

In Gainsbourg's hands, this very basic plot does become something very much worth seeing. The sex scenes are genuinely uncomfortable, but the two stunningly beautiful leads are perfect for this twisted love story.

Watch this film and make up your own mind; as a Gainsbourg fan you will definitely come away with a new appreciation for his body of work. Je T'Aime Moi Non Plus is a film made to be watched with an open mind .

Joy

Severin have located a longer version which is uncut for:

• US 2010 Severin R1 DVD at US Amazon

From promotional material from severin-films.com:

Her name was Joy Laurey, the pseudonym of the French-American supermodel whose 1981 autobiography became the most scandalous erotic memoir of the decade.

Two years later, executive producer Benjamin Simon brought Joy's saga to the screen. Succulent Canadian starlet Claudia Udy leaves nothing to the imagination as the globetrotting celebrity whose passion for men, women and strangers – in any combination – shatters every sexual taboo.

Joy has been now completely restored from a print discovered in the screening room of a Paris brothel and is presented uncut and uncensored – including the complete Secret Orgy Dungeon sequence – for the first time ever in America.

Video cuts were made in to Guild videos of 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 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.

Justice Pao, 29-32
