[Now] in the credit sequence we have the [musical montage] of [Roxy Music's] Love Is The Drug and that was actually conceived as a glimpse of what life was like in the every day brothel world and the shows they put on. It was actually at the beginning of the movie in its entirety, but we took it out because when we put it in the film it just looked like the place was too much fun and there wasn't enough jeopardy.

See pictorial cuts details from movie-censorship.com :

The film was substantially edited to tone down the R Rated material to PG-13. The Theatrical Version is toned down in both battlefield violence and for sexual threat. The Extended Cut is the better version.

Suffer Little Children is a 1983 UK video horror by Alan Briggs.
Starring Colin Chamberlain, Ginny Rose and Jon Hollanz. Melon Farmers linkYouTube icon BBFC link 2020 IMDb

The film was cut for an unofficial BBFC 18 rating issued prior to the implementation of the VRA. The film was seized by the police anyway and the film got caught up in the tabloid hysteria around the video nasty era. The film was passed 18 uncut for UK DVD release in 2017.

The DVD version has a significant number of variations from the VHS. version.

See Gav Crimson's detailed history of the censorship of Suffer Little Children and the timeline of newspaper coverage .

Summary Notes
This amateur video production, (not particularly well regarded), is claimed to be a reconstruction of events involving child demonic possession which took place at 45 Kingston Road, New Malden, Surrey, England in August 1984. None of these events were reported to the press though, not the to mention the fact that the film was conceived and shot in 1983, well before the supposed baseline event.

The video was submitted to the BBFC for a pre-VRA unofficial rating in December 1984. The BBFC asked for about 2 minutes of cuts. However the distributors suffered a police raid on the day after the submission and the police seized the film. The police seemed to think that the uncut version was illegal and would not give the distributors the opportunity to implement the cuts that would make it legal. The DPP considered the film for 3 months before deciding that no further action would be taken as long as the film was only distributed in the BBFC approved version. The film was caught up in press frenzy at this time, with the inevitable calls for a ban and worse.

The DVD version has a significant number of variations from the VHS. version.

In his interview on the DVD release, director Alan Briggs claims that Films Galore rush released an unfinished, uncompleted version of the film onto the VHS market, but if anything it's the DVD version that appears to be an earlier edit of Suffer Little Children. The VHS release correcting audio issues, continuity mistakes and implementing the cuts that the BBFC asked for. So, there really isn't a definite version of the film out there. If you want to see the gore intacto you need the DVD release. If you want to hear what the actors are saying and see four scenes that never made it to DVD then be prepared to dig deep into your pockets for a copy of the 1980s VHS, in order to complete the Suffer Little Children experience.

UK: Released after BBFC cuts for an unofficial pre-cert BBFC 18 rating for:
  • 1985 Films Galore VHS

Thanks to the BBFC for details of this release:

The video was submitted to the BBFC for an unofficial video certificate in December 1984 (this was prior to the formal implementation of the Video Recordings Act which occurred on 1 September 1985). The video was considered by a number of BBFC examiners and senior staff and a list of cuts required for classification at 18 was issued to the company in January 1985. After the cuts list was issued the film was seized by the police from the distributor's premises and was subsequently forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for consideration as to whether any offences had been committed in relation to the proposed distribution of the film.

In April 1985 the DPP concluded that no further action would be taken provided the film was only distributed in a cut version that had been approved by the BBFC.

Later in April 1985 a cut version was seen by the BBFC and this cut version was approved at 18 on 16 April 1985. However, the distributor was reminded that the certificate issued was unofficial and they would need to resubmit the film for a formal certificate under the terms of the Video Recordings Act if they intended to continue distribution beyond 1 September 1985.

The film was never resubmitted and no formal certificate was ever issued under the Video Recordings Act meaning that the video became - in effect - unclassified after September 1985. It has not been resubmitted to the BBFC since 1985.

See review from wegotthiscovered.com

Just an extended cut of what we saw in theatres, only 11 minutes beefier. It can in no way be seen as an alternate cut.

Sure, it's nice to see more interaction between the various members of the Squad along with Harley Quinn, who flat out steals the movie thanks to Margot Robbie playing the femme fatale to perfection, but in no way will this cut alter perceptions like Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition did.

See detailed version details from movie-censorship.com

Odds are that if you did not like the Theatrical Version, you will not be thrilled by the Extended Version either. Apparently, a few scenes were removed for pace reasons and those are back in the movie now. But on the other hand, the Extended Version does contain a few new scenes that are not exactly redundant for character development and context

Complaints to the BBFC, outlined in the BBFC Annual Report covering 2016:

The BBFC received 30 complaints about Suicide Squad. Most of the feedback was from children under the age of fifteen, or their parents, who had hoped that the film would achieve a lower classification. The sustained threat and moderate violence in Suicide Squad were too strong to warrant a 12A.

In the UK the film was passed 15 uncut for strong bloody violence, gore, language, brief drug misuse. The decision generated a little press coverage for viewers suggesting that they thought the film should be 18 rated.

In Ireland IFCO rated the film 16 for strong violence and bloody action. It was also 16 rated in New Zealand and Germany.

In the US it was rated R for strong violence and gore, language throughout, some sexual references, drug use and brief graphic nudity.

In Australia the film was originally rated R18+ by the censor board but this was reduced to MA15+ on appeal to the review board. The appeal was paid for by the distributor.

Summary Review: Extreme moral ambiguity

An undercover cop infiltrates a drug ring that is importing stuff from Lebanon, turns double agent, plays traffickers against corrupt cops, and intends to keep both the money, and the drugs. He also intends to keep the drug ring leader's woman, whom he wooed in the process.

This British-Italian co-production is the director's only foray into the Italian crime thriller genre, but it rivals anything by Ferdinand DeLeo or Umbeto Lenzi.

This movie has everything fans love about the genre--crosses and double-crosses, gun-play, high-speed car chases, sadistic brutality, and extreme moral ambiguity.

When their vessel, the Nightingale 229, answers an emergency distress signal from a comet mining operation in a distant galaxy, the crew soon finds itself in danger from the mysterious young man they rescue, the alien artifact he's smuggled aboard, and the gravitational pull of a giant star about to supernova. The resulting explosion will be the most massive explosion in the universe.

Cut in Russia

See article from advocate.com

A gay sex scene was cut from Supernova in Russian cinemas. The film was self-censored by film distributors there. At least one scene where the characters try to have sex after a dramatic dialogue has disappeared from the story.

World Pictures, the film's Russian distributor, cut the scene due to concerns that theaters would not screen Supernova and it may spark controversy due to excesses, according to critic Konstantin Kropotkin. These fears are rooted in Russia's gay propaganda law, which prohibits LGBTQ+ visibility in venues accessible to minors. This law has been used to penalize people and productions for a broad and often vague range of violations.

In addition to cutting a scene, World Pictures reportedly asked critics to remove any mention of gay from reviews. That intent backfired, the Times noted, as critics stressed how the censorship only further enhanced the film's love story and the heartfelt performances of its actors.

See review from IMDb : Ultimate Russ Meyer flick

While this isn't my personal favorite from the legendary Russ Meyer's output, its possibly the most defining film Meyer ever made. All his regular trademarks that have endured him to trash fanatics everywhere are on full display here. His editing style is rapid, with few shots lasting more than several seconds. There's a style of insanity which makes one wonder how sincere Meyer actually is - whether he has something up his sleeve or is legitimately demented. The film's sense of absurdity bordering on surrealism illustrates this. Also, the film's light hearted tone is interrupted by shocking moments of violence which, while over-the-top in nature, are still potent. Most of all, this film features six buxom females, the most defining trait of a Meyer film.

This is Meyer's show all around, meaning outside of the voluptuous females, the actors don't really matter too much. Still, the cast does a good job with the kitschy material. Charles Pitts is likable in the lead role, despite not being as outrageous as the material called for. Even better are Shari Eubank (in two roles, as the ultimate evil female and a nice girl perfect for Pitts) and Charles Napier (as the degenerate and vicious lawman villain). Is it misogynistic? Perhaps a little bit, but this is the kind of crazy trash that one really shouldn't take too seriously. Another entertaining winner from Meyer.

Outrageously Bad
I think it's safe to say you will either love this film or hate it. It's one of those movies that's so completely without any redeeming value that it actually ends up being enjoyable. If I had to describe it, I'd call it a cross between Repo Man and Plan 9 From Outer Space ... with nazis and surfing thrown in for good measure.

If you can enjoy something lewd, crude, bizarre, and outrageously bad, you'll probably laugh yourself silly and enjoy this movie.

Summary Review: Dreamlike

A newcomer to a fancy ballet academy gradually comes to realize that the staff of the school are actually a coven of witches bent on chaos and destruction.

The plot follows Suzy Bannion (Jessica Harper), an American ballet student, travelling to Germany to study at an exclusive dance academy in the Black Forest. After one of the students and her friend are hideously murdered in the first of Argento's breathtaking set-piece killings, Suzy discovers that the academy has a bizarre history and, as the body count rises, she gets involved in a hideous labyrinth of murder, black magic and madness.

With a distinctive dreamlike look courtesy of Luciano Tovoli's cinematography that emphasises primary colours, and a unique score by Italian progressive rock band Goblin.

When Sting was hired to write the songs for The Emperor's New Groove , part of his deal stipulated that his documentarian wife, Trudi Styler, be allowed to shoot a making-of film about the process.

If Disney were expecting a typical EPK fluff-doc, they didn't get it. The subsequent feature-length documentary, named The Sweatbox was a warts-and-all film that told the truth about what it was like to work for Disney in the 90s -- and the truth was, it wasn't pleasant.

Disney have the rights to The Sweatbox and are, unsurprisingly, not too keen to release it. A heavily edited down version 'Making the Music Video appears as a featurette on The Emperor's New Groove DVD.

 X   Sweet Movie

Link Here

Sweet Movie is a 1974 Canada/France/West Germany comedy drama by Dusan Makavejev.
With Carole Laure, Pierre Clémenti and Anna Prucnal. YouTube icon IMDb

Banned by the BBFC for 1975 cinema release. Extensive cuts list offered for 1980 cinema release but turned down. Uncut in the US.
Summary Review : Dark recesses
There are some films that are designed to shock, some designed to titillate, some that delight in disgusting the view. For Makavejev, shock, disgust and titillation are never the purpose, but a means to a form of psycho-liberation. Makavejev in Sweet Movie hurtles us head first into the confronting theses of Post-Freudian Wilhelm Reich. We are forced to confront our relationship to our primal beings. He literally smears our consciousness with faeces, vomit and carnality.

We cannot watch orgiastic scenes of regressive acts, a sensual striptease played out inches from the faces of young boys, Carol Laure masturbating in a pool of molten chocolate without a visceral reaction. We are forced to confront our own repressed desires and shine a light in the dark recesses of our own psyche.

UK: Submitted but withdrawn from the classification process when the required cuts were considered unacceptable by the distributor for:
  • 1980 cinema release

See article from sbbfc.co.uk :

In 1978, Connoisseur Films approached the BBFC, having being offered the rights to the film. They enquired about whether there was any prospect of the film being classified. There is no record in the Board's files of what James Ferman told the company, although there is a note that he spoke to them about it on 10 January 1978. Given that the film was never formally submitted, we can only assume that he discouraged the company.

The film was formally submitted by a new distributor, Lazer Films, in 1980. Examiners suggested that cuts should be made to remove any potentially indecent images from the Anna Planeta scene (which had not been an issue in 1975), to remove the whole sequence in which three men crap in competition and then show it to crowd , and to remove some of the more extreme open-leg shots towards the end of the film, in which Carol Laure wallows in liquid chocolate. [Laure herself had earlier fought a legal battle to have these shots suppressed]. It was conceded by examiners that certain other scenes, most notably the scene in which Miss Canada's husband urinates directly onto her, were very strong. However, it was felt that these scenes could not be cut without ruining the meaning of the film. However, in spite of negotiations between the BBFC and the distributor, the film was simply withdrawn from the classification process, possibly because of the difficulty of making cuts, in particular to the Anna Planeta sequence.

The film was viewed in 1975 by the Board's Secretary, Stephen Murphy, and the President, Lord Harlech. They agreed there was no prospect of classification and, in a letter to the distributor, Murphy noted: I regret that we are unable to offer certification for this film: nor can we see how it can be cut to make it acceptable to us. We accept that it is a film of some seriousness of purpose: though also of some obscurity. Nevertheless, in many respect, it goes beyond the standards of taste which the Board is currently prepared to accept .

Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song is a 1971 USA crime thriller by Melvin Van Peebles.
Starring Melvin Van Peebles, Simon Chuckster and Hubert Scales. IMDb
Although uncut in 1998, a change of law in 2005 alerted the BBFC to the issue of under-aged performers in a faked sex scene. The scene was duly cut for future releases. Uncut and originally X rated in the US until 1974 when the rating was reduced to R.
Summary Notes

Melvin Van Peebles wrote, directed, produced, edited, composed and starred in this powerful and inflammatory attack on White America. After the body of a black man is discovered, Sweetback helps two white 'acquaintances' in the police force to look good by agreeing to go with them to the station as a suspect. But he is forced to go on the run after brutally attacking the two policemen when they arrest and beat up a young black man.

The BBFC commented :

This work was previously passed uncut on video by the BBFC in 1998 on the basis of written assurances from the film's director, Melvin Van Peebles, that the person playing young Sweetback having sex with an adult female in reel one was Hubert Scales, an actor who was at least 18 at time of filming.

Information that has come light since 1998 has cast considerable doubt on those assurances and it now appears to the BBFC, on the basis of the available evidence, that the actor in the scene in question was, in fact, the director's son, Mario Van Peebles, who cannot have been older than 14 years at time of filming.

The Protection of Children Act 1978 makes it an offence to distribute, possess or advertise an indecent photograph of a child. A 'child' is currently defined as a person under the age of 18 and there is no exception granted for the current distribution, possession or advertisement of images created prior to the legislation.

The fact that the scene in reel one appears to show a 13 or 14 year old boy realistically simulating sexual intercourse with an adult obviously raised concerns that some of the images in the sequence might be considered indecent images of a child. The BBFC is fully aware of the historical and cultural significance of the film and endeavoured to explore the possibility that the sequence might not be caught by the provisions of the Act. To test this proposition the BBFC took advice not just from its own specialist legal advisors but also from one of the leading QCs in this area. The legal advice was unequivocal: the sequence was likely to be considered indecent under current UK law.

Although this is clearly a work of considerable political, social and cultural importance the Board was bound by its obligation to seek to ensure that works likely to be in breach of the criminal law are not classified and so could not grant a certificate to this film unless changes were made. The film's director chose to make the intervention by obscuring the relevant images with black ink, thereby maintaining the original soundtrack and running time. A caption explaining the intervention was added to the front of the film by the distributor at the film director's request.

The video distributor granted a certificate in 1998 has been made aware of the issue and has undertaken not to distribute further copies of that version.

From IMDb:

Jean-Luc Godard's original director's cut (titled One Plus One ) runs approximately 110 minutes and consists largely of additional footage of the black power militants. The film's producers were dissatisfied with this cut and deleted 11 minutes, changed the title to Sympathy for the Devil to underscore the Stones connection, and added the final version of the title song to the film's soundtrack, over a freeze-frame of the last shot. These changes were all made without Godard's knowledge; when he finally saw them at the film's London Film Festival premiere, he allegedly went berserk and physically attacked one of the producers.
