Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie

• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Ludicrously cut by the BBFC in 1990-91. Uncut since 2003. Uncut in the US

Summary Notes

A quartet of mutated humanoid turtles clash with an uprising criminal gang of ninjas.

PG

• 2013 Mediumrare [TMNT The Movie + II + III] RB Blu-ray at UK Amazon
• 2013 Mediumrare [TMNT The Movie + II + III] R2 DVD at UK Amazon
• 2004 Medusa/Contender R2 DVD at UK Amazon
• 2003 cinema release

• 1998 New Line Home Video R1 DVD at US Amazon released on 24th February 1998

• 1991 Virgin VHS

The video is further cut to the cinema version but this seems down to a different implementation of the same BBFC cuts list:

• Michelangelo is on the phone ordering a pizza when Splinter is giving the turtles advice. When Splinter hears that he is not listening and is on the phone he throws a book at him and shouts Michelangelo. For some completely stupid reason the scene was now missing the book throwing which by the way was the tamest throwing of a book I have ever seen. Also missing was some of Michelangelo's dialogue when he orders the pizza due to the fact you can clearly see his nunchaku as he is spinning them.

• 1990 cinema release

The official BBFC cut time given is 1:51 seconds but there seems to be more footage changed than 1:51s via reframing and separate angles. The distributors probably re-edited more than required to implement the BBFC cuts

Thanks to Byron. The BBFC cuts were:

First of all the nunchaku in this film are real, well rubber props but they are not sausages that happens in Turtles 2. Timings are approximate

1. At 17:49s. April is on TV interviewing the police chief and the turtles are watching. In the uncut version we see Leo, Don and Mike in front of the set watching and you can see Mike's nunchaku on his back barely he then kisses the screen when April comes on.  7 seconds of reframing where instead of seeing them sat down as soon as Mike sits down the picture zooms into the TV so all we can see is the TV with April on. This shot is also missing Mike kissing the screen we just hear the sound.
2. 2s. Mikes shell is blacked out when a shot from behind shows his nunchaku in his belt. In the same scene another second is cut when Mike is introduced as it is reframed to avoid seeing his nunchaku.
3. 2s cut. More reframing is used to prevent you seeing mikes nunchaku in his belt when conversing with April about frozen pizza. The idea seems to be cut the nunchaku on sight even if you need slow motion to see them. 3 seconds are gone again when Mike's back is darkened again when he is talking to April.
4. 20s cuts in the following scene where April is eating pizza with the turtles to hide the slight glimpse of the nunchaku in his belt. Next is his Cagney impression which is missing a shot from behind.
5. 3s reframing when Splinter is kidnapped.
6. When the Shedder is making his entrance and is about to address the foot there are 6 seconds of substitutions. In the uncut one when the red carpet is being rolled out for him you can see the foot solders in a line armed with sticks and the nunchaku. In the UK version we get to see the kids in the crowd above chewing gum and looking board. This is the cheap kind of censorship SKY 1 does in the day with wrestling putting pointless crowd shots in to cover up things.
7. When the turtles are watching April on TV again Raphael and Leonardo start to argue. 3s are cut here as when Mike gets up to go to the kitchen you can see the nunchaku in his belt at the side.
8. More reframing as Mike and Don watch a Tortoise and Hare cartoon by 8s.
9. One of the longest cuts is more obvious. Its the movies first big fight scene and Raph has just been thrown though the skylight and a big fight with loads of Foot soldiers. 1s is substituted when one of the foot solders who has jumped though is armed with nunchaku. A nunchaku contest occuring between the foot solder and Mike is removed, 48s, A very funny scene leaving the UK version to look really stupid. More reframing cuts appear though out the fight every time Mike hits anyone with his nunchaku or can be seen with his nunchaku in the slightest. Also Don's joke with him about them not being game show fans is cut. This is due to Mike's nunchaku being in shot and also misses Mike's line about everyone liking the USA versions letter turner Vanna White. A another cut is when a foot solder tries to chop up Mike with an axe while he is still on the floor. The axe chops are there but the picture is reframed so as not to see the forbidden nunchaku in Mike's hand. Next more cuts when more foot solders drop though the skylight causing the floor to give in and then as the turtles get up after landing in the basement. The scene ends when Aprils apartment sets on fire and brings to an end a cutting spree that including the nunchaku contest was cut by 1:27s.
10. Not a cut but an interesting line by Tatsu Shedders minion. He says in all versions of the film "kurso" when Shedder is angry at him which I am sure is Japanese for shit.
11. Cuts when Casey Jones and April retreat to Aprils farm in the country. 3s of Mike's nunchuka whilst punching a punch bag in a barn. 8s of Mike using his nunchaku in training. The next cut is pathetic and is one to a bit of blatant advertising for turtle wax. April is being given a shoulder massage by Casey after she appears in pain in a scene that starts their romance. As soon as he starts the massage in the UK version it cuts to the next scene and misses a comic scene of 24s for no apparent reason.
12. Another cut occurs when Mike and Don attempt to eat some leftover pizza. In the UK version when Danny says they might be some leftover pizza Mike gets excited then it cuts to the next scene missing 17s of Mike and Don inspecting the pizza and asking". The only conclusion is that the BBFC didn't get the joke about penicillin.
13. The next cuts occur during the final fight of the movie. The turtles use the hot steam from the sewer pipes to burn the foot solders a shot of a foot solder getting sprayed in the face is cut this is 2s. Then a shot from over head of all 4 turtles over the bodies of the foot soldier is cut as it shows Mike 2s of spinning his nunchaku. A 13s cut occurs to April helping Mike take out some foot solders from on top of a pipe with a stick and to him whacking some foot solders with his nunchaku. When Mike and Don are fighting foot solders back to back doing bad jokes 2 seconds are cut to remove sight of nunchaku and the line by Mike of goes with it also the sequence is reframed so you cant see Mike is hitting foot solders with his nunchaku . Then after the famous trailer line by Mike of "god I love being a turtle" 1s is cut to stop you seeing Mike hold up his nunchaku and laugh. On the roof 1s is cut from a exchange between Mike and a nunchaku welding foot solder.
14. The following cuts are disgusting as they change the end of the movie and ruin the final fight with Shedder. This fight is cut badly and looks crap due to the cuts. Mike and Don do rock, paper , scissors to see who goes next. Mike loses then spins his nunchaku and goes for Shedder then it cuts to the next scene. So 9s cut. Then when the action starts again on the roof 1s is cut to stop you seeing Mike spinning his nunchaku in the air as the turtles run towards Shedder. 5 seconds are cut next showing Mike fighting the Shedder and getting knocked over. This is annoying as Mike is made out to be an idiot in the cut version who doesn't fight Shedder or anyone else. Now comes a crucial cut that alters the ending. Leo charges at Shedder and is brought down. Shedder then puts his blade to Leo's throat and tells the Turtles to get rid of their weapons. They throw them off the roof but then a 1s cut occurs cutting out Mike's nunchaku getting caught on the ladder rung. This is a plot point for later that is missing from the UK version. Now Splinter arrives and Shedder takes his mask off revealing his scars from Splinter In the UK version as he charges at him 19s are cut. These are of Splinter using the nunchaku of Mike's from the ladder rung to wrap around the Shedder's blade who he then slings over the edge. He then holds him there dangling but Shedder has reached a knife which he then throws at him which he catches but in doing so the nunchaku wrapped around the blade unravels dropping Shedder to his doom. Then Splinter finishes his sentence from before "Without honour". The UK skips all this and makes it out that Splinter simply grabbed the blade and slung him over the edge where he simply dropped to his doom with out no tense dangling or final attack or dialogue from Splinter.  However the fall in the UK version is from one single angle rather than 3 different ones. This cut really ruins the end of the film and lessons the danger to Splinter and the danger of Shedder.
    So the total movie cuts are of around 5 mins 28 secs. The BBFC should put an apology up before every screening of the new uncut version as they really made a right mess with this back in 1990.

Summary Review: A harrowing experience

Wayward and uninhibited young runaway Kim has fallen in with a bad crowd. Kim decides to flee said crowd and goes to the west coast to reunite herself with her uptight sister Hilary so she can collect some of the family inheritance. However, evil drug dealer Maury and his flock follow Kim to Hilary's house.

it is a rather unsettling look at clashing life styles in America, here depicted violently for the exploitation fans. It still carries a wallop.

All hell breaks loose when Kim (Alisha Fontaine) arrives on her sister's mansion doorstep.  The Film becomes a harrowing experience with the arrival of Manson-esque cult/gang leader Maury.

Summary Review: Underground

The story of a day in the life of a lonely, sensitive, exuberant, attractive, young woman. Her exploits, encounters, and frustrations as she attempts to find a special someone, a caller who has class , as she puts it.

Funny, near brilliant, underground movie about the sexual perversions of everyday people. A terrific example of grass roots filmmaking were the creativity and ingenuity of the director.

• 1971 cinema release

Originally rated R for violence, language throughout, some sexual references and drug use. However the distributor surrendered the R rating and chose to be Unrated instead.

Review from imdb : Low-budget Masterpiece

Another Tight, Low-budget Masterpiece from Bronson/Thompson,

Compared with the ridiculously shoddy Death Wish sequels, most of Charles Bronson's 1980s collaborations with J. Lee Thompson are masterpieces. In fact, even with the high ratio of bad actors and technical shortcomings, films like Evil That Men Do and this one, 10 to Midnight, kick modern hardboilers right in the balls.

Thanks to MM

• Cuts to scenes of sexual violence in the opening double murder. The cuts were to remove nudity during the murders
• A brief shot of a nurse's dead body in a shower was cut due to blood on the breasts.

Summary Review : Gore filled giallo

Tenebrae is a thriller about a writer of thrillers who, whilst on a promotional tour in Italy for his new book (...also called Tenebrae), finds himself the focus of a deranged serial killer, who is offing his victims according to the grisly murders found in the very same author's work.

Argento has a great deal of fun in devising these bizarre scenes and scenarios, whilst simultaneously orchestrating this grandiose, gore-filled Giallo with a bold approach to cinematography, montage and music.

As with a lot of Argento's work, the performances aren't all peerless, although, that said, there's some admirable moments, particularly from Anthony Franciosa as the author, Peter Neal, Argento's former muse Daria Nicolodi as his assistant Ann, and b-movie stalwart John Saxon as Neal's publisher.

The ending of the film is a satisfying one that is sure to delight those familiar with his previous works.

• The Tenth Kingdom
• Das 10te Königreich
• Das Zehnte Königreich

Cut when submitted in 2000 to remove a double ear clap.

The uncut region 1 DVD is available at US Amazon

Review from Amazon US In some ways the story does ramble, but the intricate elements are woven together so coherently that they smoothly fit into the quest undertaken by the principal characters.

Virginia and Tony Lewis (Kimberly Williams and John Larroquette) live in a New York apartment. One day a dog enters Virginia's life. However, the dog is not just any ordinary dog, but Prince Wendell (Daniel Lapaine) changed into a dog by an evil Queen (Dianne Wiest). Soon trolls enter the story along with magic, and the story begins.

The acting talent in this movie is phenomenal. Rutger Hauer plays the Queen's woodsman, with his own poignant story. Warwick Davis is Acorn, a criminal with a tongue-in-cheek character. Ed O'Neil is perfect as Relish the Troll King. Scott Cohen as Wolf took a little getting used to, but once I realized how he fit into the story I enjoyed his antics and characterization. Camryn Manheim makes an interesting Snow White. Ann-Margret brings class to Queen Cinderella.

The story is an adult fairy tale. There is violence in the movie as well as a number of intense scenes that are likely inappropriate for children below the age of 7 or 8. However, for everyone else this movie is fun and complicated. If you enjoy fantasy, and you can be open-minded about how fantasy is approached, this movie could be perfect for you.

This is one of the first few films where a higher rated version was made available. The BBFC argued at the time that if the marketing of a film is aimed at the original certificate, ie the 15, then children of that age group will want to watch it regardless of the certificate awarded.

Guild Home Video also managed to sneak the film out uncut on VHS - in full screen - in November 1993, when they released it along with The Terminator on a special 2-On-1 extended play VHS. This version appears to have not been classified officially by the BBFC.

The cinema cuts still apply:

• As Sarah escapes from hospital, edits were made to reduce the 4 blows she delivered to the male nurse/security guard with the wooden broom handle. The 4 blows were reduced to 1.
• Later in the same sequence, Sarah confronts a doctor in his office. The original had Sarah hitting the doctor on the arm with the bat, she then swipes him on the back of the leg to make him collapse, all that remains is the hit on the arm.

The BBFC asked for 18s of additional cuts:

Further cuts are required for the '15 requested on Video, mostly to reduce moments of heavy violence, many by the Terminator hero to innocent people who are merely doing their job:

• At 74 min. Reduce the length of time man thrown through window is burned on the griddle by removing two sections, the beginning of the shot where he lauds on the stove and the link to the next shot before he rolls off.
• Immediately afterwards, when man tries to stab Terminator through chest, reduce sight of Terminator pinning him to billiard table by removing impact shot of him being stabbed through back of shoulder, resuming on his face pressed against table with hilt just vib1e top of screen.
• At 45 mins. Reduce demonstration of lock picking by Sarah by removing start of shot where wires are inserted.
• At 46.5 mins. When Terminator 2 stabs hospital guard through eye at coffee machine, replace frontal shot of victim with spear through eye with alternative take in which he is not juddering so vigorously as to be clearly still in pain.
• At 49.5 mins. Reduce Terminator's shooting of security guard at hospital gate to one shot only.
• At 53.5 mins. When Terminator breaks up group of male nurses about to inject Sarah, after third man is hit in stomach with rifle and pushed aside, remove sight of him hitting wall very hard and bouncing off, resuming on female nurse moving in to hit Terminator.
• At 55.5 mins. When Terminator throws policeman away from police car, remove sight of him hitting pillar hard and bouncing off, resuming on metal shape coming through ceiling.
• At 99 mins. When Terminator emerges from lift to see S.W.A.T. team waiting in lobby, considerably reduce close impact shots as he shoots them in the legs to disable them.

• Later in the same sequence, Sarah confronts a doctor in his office. The original had Sarah hitting the doctor on the arm with the bat, she then swipes him on the back of the leg to make him collapse, all that remains is the hit on the arm.

The BBFC previously saw the film as a rough cut and suggested other cuts including:

• When Schwarzenegger arrives at the prison hospital to rescue Sarah and shoots the guard at the entrance gate, remove the close shots showing bullet impacts around his knees.

Close ups such as this are not really part of Cameron's repertoire and were described as very brief by an examiner. However they seemed to be part of a plot element where young John had asked the Terminator to aim low to reduce likely deaths. The kneecapping shots were the follow up to John's request.

By the time was formally submitted these close shots seemed to have been dropped, perhaps replaced by the longer shots which were not an issue for the BBFC

The BBFC put the triviality of the nudity cut in good perspective:

Terminator Salvation is the fourth instalment in the Terminator franchise and sees a grown-up John Connor leading the human resistance movement. It has been passed 12 for scenes of moderate violence and intense action.

The setting of the narrative in this film is an all-out war between the human resistance movement and Skynet with its army of Terminators. There are some spectacular battle sequences with heavy explosions and gunfire which include sight of many robots being destroyed, including a close-up shot of a robotic head being crushed by a helicopter. This sets the tone for much of the violence in the film. Most of the damage and injury is caused to the robotic characters while the human characters generally emerge unscathed. There is some injury detail seen, to the Connor character in particular, but these sequences do not dwell on detail and do not contain any emphasis on injuries or blood. For the most part the injuries are impressionistic and the fantasy setting is always well to the fore. Given this approach to the depiction of violence the film is contained at 12 under the terms of the Guidelines for violence at that level.

The film as a whole does have an unrelenting intensity which is a well established feature of fantasy films at the 12 level but the tone is comparatively light and plays very much to audience expectations for the genre. There is none of the darker, sadistic, elements that occasionally take such works to the higher category. Mature themes and sustained moderate threat and menace are allowed at 12 in the Guidelines and these are all elements that contributed to placing Terminator Salvation at 12 .

The extended version of the film also contains a scene featuring brief sexualised nudity as we see a woman remove her top, revealing one of her breasts. This is only seen from considerable distance and there is no clear or sustained nudity present within a sexual context. At 12 , the BBFC Guidelines state that in a sexual context nudity must be brief and discreet and this sequence in Terminator Salvation falls within those limits.

• Director McG cut one shot to earn the US PG-13 rating. The quick cut involved featuring Sam Worthington's character Marcus stabbing a screwdriver through the shoulder of a thug and of the screwdriver being pulled out.
• But McG also removed the nude Moon Bloodgood shot claiming it: felt more like a gratuitous moment of a girl taking her top off in an action picture, and I didn't want that to convolute the story or the characters.

Other scenes were also modified in the Theatrical Version:

• Cut scene of machine appearing from underwater and being destroyed by Connor's soldiers
• Cut scene showing General Ashdown threatening Connor with a gun to ensure that Connor is on the same page
• Cut scene showing Marcus use a man as a shield from gun bullets and then hitting a man in the face with a gun butt.

Terror

Cut by the BBFC for 1978 cinema release. A shortened and pre-cut version was approved by the Director for UK DVD release. Uncut in the US.

Summary Review : Logical, comprehensible story line

Royal ancestors feel the wrath of the curse of the condemned witch Mad Dolly, who spews forth her prophecy while she is burned at the stake. This entire scene is then revealed to be the ending of a horror film, and the filmmaker claims that the story is based upon true events from his own family history. Naturally, there is skepticism. But at a wrap party later that evening, the filmmaker's cousin falls into a trance and attacks him with a sword...and he and his cousin begin to worry that the family curse just might be real after all.

Terror has a fair amount of female nudity and gore. But this film also has a logical, comprehensible story line that is bolstered by strong performances and able directing, and exceptional production design and cinematography.

Summary Review: Action over Suspense

A Boston police detective investigates a series of gruesome decapitations of various college coeds committed by a helmeted, black-leather clad serial killer which leads him to suspect a well known anthropology professor as well as his female live-in assistant.

A slasher flick with more action than horror. But the acting is above par as are the overall production values, and there isn't a lot of padding. There's also something of a story complete with characterization.

One could certainly do (much) worse in picking a slasher film from this era.

Terrorists, Killers and Other Wackos

• Terrorists, Killers and Middle East Wackos

US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:

• US R1 DVD at US Amazon

• 2005 Film 2000 DVD

The BBFC explained:

Terrorists, Killers and Other Wackos comprises a compilation of uncontextualised clips showing real killings, executions, suicides, accidents, mutilation and torture (of both humans and animals) and other distressing images. The work presents no journalistic, educational or other justifying context for the images shown. Rather, the work presents a barrage of sensationalist clips, for what appears to be the underlying purpose of providing prurient entertainment. This is reinforced by the addition of a loud music soundtrack, which further trivialises the images shown. The trivialisation of human and animal suffering is further exemplified by the tasteless inclusion of occasional 'comic' captions. The work also contains a disturbing and distasteful undercurrent of racism and xenophobia. A significant amount of the material is taken from certain recurring geographic locations and could provide fuel for forms of racism which are hostile to non-white people.

The Board carefully considered the work in the light of our Guidelines and the tests set down by the Video Recordings Act. A key consideration is the question of any harm that might be caused to potential viewers or, through their behaviour, to society because of the manner in which the work deals with violence and "horrific behaviour or incidents". The Board has concluded that the video is potentially harmful because of the influence it may have on the attitudes and behaviour of at least some intended or potential viewers. By presenting actual human death, mutilation and suffering as entertainment, the work has the potential to desensitise viewers, and perhaps even to incite some to harm others. The work invites the viewer to take sadistic pleasure in death, injury, mutilation and pain and encourages callousness towards victims. Given the rapid-paced editing, the addition of inappropriate music and supposedly 'amusing' captions, the work appears calculated to appeal to young and impressionable persons (whatever its classification). The Board considers that the work may have a significant brutalising effect on their attitude to human life and pain.

Given the potential for the work to deaden the sensitivity of viewers to pain and suffering and to impair the moral development of younger viewers in particular, the Board also considers that the work raises serious concerns about possible breach of the Obscene Publications Act. This Act makes it an offence to distribute any work that, taken as a whole, has a tendency to deprave and corrupt (i.e. make morally bad) a significant proportion of those likely to see it.

A further consideration for the Board is that of public acceptability. (This is the ground on which, for instance, the Board has regard to issues of bad language.) In this case the combination of the shocking and distressing images in the work, the lack of any justifying context, the editorial treatment, and the calculated appeal to the intended audience, all appear to the Board to raise serious concerns about the acceptability of the work to public opinion. Taken together with the harm issues, and potential breach of the law, these concerns about acceptability strengthen the basis for refusal of classification.

The Board considered whether cutting the work would be a viable alternative to refusing a classification certificate. However, the essential difficultly with Terrorists, Killers and Other Wackos lies not so much with any particular images (most of which would have been acceptable in a different, more serious, context) but with the manner in which the images are presented, and with the underlying, exploitative purpose of the work. Cuts would therefore be unlikely to modify the tone and overall effect of the work acceptably.

Summary Review: Tough Anti-hero

Tough gun-man Burt Sullivan (Franco Nero) leaves his job as a town sheriff to go to Mexico to find the man, Cisco, who killed his father many years ago. He and his younger brother arrive in a small town where everybody is afraid of Cisco who has become the local landowner. Burt Sullivan joins forces with the local townspeople to stop and bring Cisco back to his punishment in Texas

It's a typical Spaghetti Western in which blends the common scenarios; as invincible and tough antiheroes, difficult and fast showdowns with numerous deceases , impulsive and quick zooms , musical score with Morricone influence .

The film will appeal to Franco Nero fans and Spaghetti Western buffs.

See article from bloody-disgusting.com . Director John Luessenhop spoke about the film's MPAA rating:

It initially had an NC-17 rating so we recut the movie and it got an R rating. There are certainly some gory elements but I also think there is quite some suspense in the movie. I think in America it's very easy to get an R rating for violence and blood scenes. There are plenty of those but there are also moments where it is just scary with a suspense build up so I hope some of those scenes are going to stand out, not just the gory scenes.

See article from dreadcentral.com "

Having seen the unrated version, which clocks in at 92 minutes (incidentally, the same runtime as the theatrical cut), I can tell you that the differences are minimal. We're talking a few frames cut from a couple of the movie's kill scenes, especially the final meat grinder kill. Yep. No biggie here.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

In the US the film was initially rated X, but attained an R rating after cuts. This was the last X certificate granted by the MPAA prior to the introduction of NC-17. The R rated version has been used for all releases worldwide. In the UK, the 1975 cinema release was famously banned by the BBFC. Some local councils overrode the BBFC ban and passed it X with a local certificate. The ban continued well into the home video era until unbanned (and released uncut) in 1999.

Summary Review: Classic of its generation

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is undoubtedly one of the scariest films ever made and its raw power remains undiminished to this very day. Tobe Hooper somehow created a genuine fright machine which changed the face of the horror genre completely.

The story revolves around a group of teenagers being chased, terrified and murdered when they stumble upon a canabilistic family in the countryside. The main character, Leatherface, who's remorseless killings were loosely based on real life 1950's Texan murderer Ed Gein.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a classic of its generation and deserves to be part of any respectable film collection. Just don't watch it alone.

Hooper reportedly hoped that the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) would give the complete, uncut release print a PG rating due to its minimal amount of visible gore. Instead, it was originally rated X . After several minutes were cut, it was resubmitted to the MPAA and received an R rating.

This was the last X certificate granted by the MPAA prior to the introduction of NC-17.

See article from sbbfc.co.uk. The BBFC outlined some of the history of the film:

The notoriety of the film may owe a lot to its original rejection by the BBFC in 1975. It was passed for viewing in Europe, the USA, Australia and other countries. It received a GLC licence in the 1970s and was most recently shown in central London in 1998 under a licence from Camden Council. There is, so far as the Board is aware, no evidence that harm has ever arisen as a consequence of viewing the film. For modern young adults, accustomed to the macabre shocks of horror films through the 1980s and 1990s, THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE is unlikely to be  particularly challenging. Unlike more recent examples of the genre, violence in THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE is throughout implied rather than explicit. By today's standards, its visual effects may seem relatively unconvincing.

Possibly the most notorious feature is the relentless pursuit of the 'Final Girl' throughout the last half hour or so of the film. The heroine in peril is a staple of the cinema since the earliest days. It is nonetheless legitimate to question the unusual emphasis THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE places on the pursuit of a defenceless and screaming female  over such an extended period. The Board's conclusion, after careful consideration, was that any possible harm that might arise in terms of the effect upon a modern audience would be more than sufficiently countered by the unrealistic, even absurd, nature of the action itself. It is worth emphasising that there is no explicit sexual element in the film, and relatively little visible violence.

pre-cut

• 1975 cinema release

See article from sbbfc.co.uk :

Tobe Hooper's seminal horror film was first seen informally by the BBFC's Secretary, Stephen Murphy, on 27 February 1975. Murphy regarded it as a good, well-made film but felt strongly that the level of terrorisation, particularly towards the end of the film, and the film's focus on abnormal psychology was unsuitable for a BBFC X certificate to be issued. The distributor reacted to this advice by making some minor reductions in the final scenes of terrorisation, formally submitting a slightly truncated version on 12 March 1975.

The ban persisted until 1999. An official BBFC comment from their website just before the granting of the cinema certificate in 1999 read:

Most questions about THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (and sequels) assume that the problem is one of violence or horror. In fact the reason that the film was refused certification was the result of the perceived degree of terrorisation of women and threat to defenceless women. The Board has for many years operated a very strict policy with regard to sexual violence, based on the incidence of this sort of behaviour in real life and the fact that a great deal of research does indicate that this is the one area where media representations do seem to have quite direct effects on attitudes and behaviour. The film was rejected by the Board on film and is most unlikely to be classified on video, where the law demands a stricter test, under amendments to the Video Recording Act 1984 contained in the Criminal Justice & Public Order Act 1994.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2

Summary Review: Dennis Hopper, a joy to watch

Dennis Hopper plays a Texas Ranger, Lefty, who's bent on revenge and wants compensation in blood for the murder of his brother's children (from the original movie). The results all lead up to a terribly disturbing and disgusting slasher flick that you won't forget (even if you want to).

What really makes the movie work is Dennis Hopper. He is usually a joy to watch in any movie, and this one is no exception.

The sequel is much more disgusting and violent than the original, but isn't really as shocking. Still, it is a pretty enjoyable flick if you're in the right mood and take it for what it is.

Summary Review: Highly Worthy

On one last road trip before they're sent to serve in Vietnam, two brothers and their girlfriends get into an accident that calls their local sheriff to the scene. Thus begins a terrifying experience where the teens are taken to a secluded house of horrors, where a young, would-be killer is being nurtured.

Appropriately gory and no-holds barred, Jonathan Liebesman creates a tight, slick and sadistic thriller in the eyes of Chrissie as she endlessly attempts to rescue her friends from a demented madman's clutches. This is a highly worthy and satisfying entry in the horror series that will make an indelible mark on your imagination.

I have waited many years for this to be released on DVD but have been sorely let down by the terrible new voiceover. The entire feeling of the film has been completely lost. I can't understand why this had to be done as the only people who want to see this movie wanted it in it's original glory - no one else is interested. Surely they can release another version with the original voices as this one is shocking and unwatchable.

A Shakespearean actor takes poetic revenge on the critics who denied him recognition.

As incredibly good as this movie is, one must give pause before attempting to review it; after all, Vincent Price plays an actor who murders the critics who panned his performances and cost him the acting award he felt he deserved. I find it something of a relief to have nothing at all negative to say about this unusual, almost brilliant movie.

30 Days of Night

By 2008, after a couple of complaints, the BBFC decided that the DVD release should be 18 uncut.

From The 2007 BBFC Annual Report:

The Board did receive letters questioning the rating, and when the work came in for DVD release it was reconsidered and the rating raised to '18'.

Perhaps the BBFC should should create a new certificate explanation: Suitable for people aged 15+ but rated 18 to be on the safe side

The uncut region 2 DVD is available at UK Amazon

Review from Amazon UK

'30 Days of Night' is the movie based on the best selling graphic novel by Steve Niles. The story begins when a group of vampires flock to Barrow, Alaska where the sun sets for 30 days, allowing them to feed without the burden of sleep to avoid lethal sunlight. Because of the cold, the vampires' senses are weakened and a few of the town's residents are able to hide. One resident is Sheriff Eben Olemaun (Josh Hartnett), who attempts to save the town and the lives of the few remaining townspeople, including his wife Stella (Melissa George).

This was probably the film that I was most looking forward to in 2007 and when I finally got to see it, I wasn't disappointed at all. At the time when I first watched this film I hadn't read any of the comics, so the story was new to me, but I enjoyed it all the same. I've read the comic since seeing this and the film version has a lot more added to it, which I feel was definitely necessary as only the beginning and the end are featured in the original. There's plenty of gore, a great storyline, good characters, lots of scares and some excellent camerawork. The setting of Barrow feels very isolated and creepy and very, very atmospheric. The vampires have twisted, ugly faces and make eerie, high pitched wails to each other and speak in their own language, taking the sexy, seductive image away from the over-used and tired character.

Overall this is without a doubt one the best films of 2007 and is definitely the best vampire film I have ever seen.

31

Originally given an NC-17 rating but was then cut for an R rated Theatrical release. Home video releases will feature the uncut version.

Summary Notes

31 tells the story of five carnies in 1976 kidnapped on the morning of Halloween and held hostage in a remote industrial Hell. While trapped, they are forced to play a violent game called 31. The mission is to survive 12 hours against an endless gang of grease-painted maniacs.

Director Rob Zombie is running afoul of national ratings body, the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), who, after reviewing two cuts of his latest movie 31 , refuse to give it anything lower than an NC-17 rating. Zombie commented:

Well, after two tries through the MPAA, our rating on 31 remains NC-17. Maybe three is the charm to get an R rating. Why R, you ask? Well, because your local theater will not show an NC-17. Even though you are a fucking adults... things much be censored for your enjoyment.

Rod Zombie later confirmed that the uncut version will be used for the home video release but noted that he does not think the film suffers at all as a results of the cuts.

31

This is Elvis

The Theatrical Version was passed 12 uncut for the 2007 Warner DVD.

From version details on IMDb

Both theatrical and video releases contain certain footage not seen on the other. The longer video release contains a slightly longer recreation of Elvis' last night at Graceland, more 50's concert footage, more movie footage, more '68 Comeback Special material, and home movies from a movie cast party.

On the video release Love Me is substituted for Are You Lonesome Tonight , which was on the theatrical version.

There is also an interesting moment captured on film of Elvis backstage making a few profound statements that are present on the theatrical version that were later altered by overdubbing by an actor on the video release slightly censoring the conversation. This is the raise the dead dialogue he engages in backstage towards the end of the film.

 This Is My Street

Cut by the BBFC for 1963 cinema release. The cuts presumably persisted into 2014 DVD

Promotional Material

Ian Hendry, June Ritchie, John Hurt and future Randall and Hopkirk stars Annette Andre and Mike Pratt feature among an outstanding cast in this mid-sixties realist drama from noted director Sidney Hayers. This Is My Street is presented here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.

Jubilee Close, a drab street of decaying houses in London's Battersea, is home to a cross-section of working-class families. Yearning to escape from this depressing environment is the pretty, ambitious Margery Graham; the victim of an enforced marriage, she is tied to a lazy, boorish husband and young daughter, Cindy. Margery lives next door to her widowed mother who, in order to make ends meet, has taken in a lodger, Harry - a slick, unscrupulous salesman with a roving eye and a more-than-neighbourly interest in Margery...

The Unrated Version will feature an additional 7:22s minutes of material. A comparison of the two versions identifies the Director's Cut as a bluff package. The only sexual content is a harmless intro in a James Bond style. The most of the additional running time consists of an uncontroversial fake family scene . 'Fuck' can be heard twice in this scene. However, it is doubtful that this was the reason it was removed from the movie. More likely it was because the scenes slows down the movie, which is already losing speed at that point..

Summary Notes

In Northern England in the early 1960s, Frank Machin is mean, tough and ambitious enough to become an immediate star in the rugby league team run by local employer Weaver. Machin lodges with Mrs Hammond, whose husband was killed in an accident at Weaver's, but his impulsive and angry nature stop him from being able to reach her as he would like. He becomes increasingly frustrated with his situation, and this is not helped by the more straightforward enticements of Mrs Weaver.

See article from collider.com . Director McG spoke of deleted footage from a Paris cabaret, and the possibility of including it in a Director's Cut

Yeah, I think there will be some [deleted footage]. We shot that one scene in the Crazy Horse, which is a very famous cabaret that's visited by women as much as men. It's not vulgar, at all. It's beautiful. It's like Cirque du Soleil. So, I tested the movie with a longer version of these women doing what I thought was this very, very beautiful dance, and American women were not really into it. I was saddened because I wasn't like, Ooh, look at the nudity. I just thought it was beautiful. It was like looking at a painting. These women are from the Bolshoi. So, the director's cut will be more involved, and it will speak to this ethereal, otherworldly quality of the Vivi character.

Hong Kong: The Director's Cut is Cat III rated for:

• HK Panorama [2D Version] R0 DVD via US Amazon

See pictorial cuts details from movie-censorship.com :

The Director's Cut contains extensions in graphic violence & sex scenes. It also extensively changes and expands the plot. The Director's Cut is the way better version. It's obvious that this is the originally planned version of 3-D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy. Where the Theatrical Version seems to be bumpy here and there the DC fills in the blanks and contains more laughs, more visual appealing & the smoother plot.

See  article from  twitchfilm.com :

The Director's Cut includes some rather extreme content which was excised because test audiences and the Hong Kong censorship thought it was too gross. This includes the Yangsheng character squeezing some lactating lady's breasts during an orgy, causing milk to fountain out and cover the entire group. Also, the sequence where the Prince of Ning accidentally fucks a concubine to death during rough sex is a lot longer.

• 2012 Metrodome R2 DVD
• 2011 cinema release

The BBFC commented:

• Compulsory cuts were required to two scenes of sexual and sexualised violence, which included elements with a tendency to eroticise and endorse sexual violence.

The BBFC further explained (ignoring a rather redundant explanation that the film goes beyond a 15 rating):

3D SEX AND ZEN EXTREME ECSTASY is a Chinese erotic period drama about a recently married young man who embarks on a sexual odyssey when his wife is unable to satisfy his sexual desires. The film was classified 18 for strong sex, violence, nudity and sexual violence.

There are frequent sequences of strong sex and nudity which include sight of a man sucking a woman's nipples, pubic nudity in a sexual context, sight of a man's erect penis, buttock thrusting implying penetration, and implied but masked fellatio and cunnilingus.

Before the film was classified 18 , the BBFC required cuts in two scenes.

• In the first scene, a man rapes a woman, with the woman then going on to enjoy the sex. The scene is shot in the same eroticised style as the rest of the film and creates the impression that rape can be an enjoyable and exciting erotic experience. The scene was cut to remove the non consensual set up, leaving a purely consensual sex scene.
• In the second scene, a man engages in violent sex with a woman. Although the sex is consensual, the man beats and whips the woman during sex, before finally suffocating her to death as he thrusts into her. The scene, which is filmed in the same eroticised style as other scenes, creates a strong link between violence and sexual arousal. Although the BBFC suggested that the scene could be reduced to an acceptable level by multiple cuts, the distributor chose to remove the scene in its entirety.

Both scenes breach the terms of the Guidelines at 18 which state the BBFC may cut any portrayals of sexual or sexualised violence which might, for example, eroticise or endorse sexual assault .

There is a more extensively cut version with 18 minutes removed from the Theatrical Version:

• Scenes were removed depicting group sex and oral sex
• Scene showing a monk being seduced was removed

South Korea:

• 3 minutes removed from the two rape scenes, perhaps simialr to the UK cuts

Thailand:

• The 2 rape scenes were removed
• Scene showing a monk being seduced was removed

See article from movie-censorship.com :

It is reported that the Theatrical Version released in Germany and France has deleted a light hearted use of a doorstop as if it was a grenade. It does seem to be a Hollywood policy that action films should be stripped of humour as this does not seem to work so well in international releases so it sort of is believable. However the running time suggests that the UK has the US Theatrical Version rather then this International Theatrical Version.

Three Immoral Women

• Immoral Women

Summary Review: Soft Focus Morality Tales

A follow up to Walerian Borowczyk's earlier Immoral Tales.

It features 3 episodes. First a tale of a woman bedding her way to success amongst Renaissance painters and church benefactors. The second features a girl and her white rabbit getting exploited in 19th century France. The third is about a woman being abducted in Paris.

Dreamy soft focus stuff with enough of a story to raise it above the norm.

Cut for video when submitted in 1998 (the same version was resubmitted in 2001)

Punches, kicks, head-kicks, head-butts, ear-claps, nunchaku, a throwing playing card - similar to a death star, a yo-yo with blades sticking out of it, throwing darts, the list is endless. One cut removes a kid peeing himself when a villain yells in his face.

US: Uncut and MPAA PG Rated for:

• 2012 20th century Fox RA Blu-ray at US Amazon
• 2012 20th century Fox R1 DVD at US Amazon

• 2012 cinema release

The BBFC commented:

This work was originally seen for advice. The company was advised that the film was likely to receive a 12A certificate but that their preferred PG classification could be achieved by making cuts in five sequences. These were to remove four sequences showing everyday objects being used in a potentially dangerous manner that young children may copy:

• a vegetable peeler used on a man's head,
• a cheese grater used on a man's foot,
• hair tongs used on a woman's tongue and
• a man's head in a microwave and
• a line of dialogue about teaching children to play with matches.

When the finished version of the film was submitted for formal classification, the recommended cuts had been made and the film was classified PG .

Thriller

• Thriller: en grym film
• Thriller: A Cruel Picture
• Thriller: They Call Her One Eye

Banned by the BBFC and Swedish film censors for 1973-4 cinema release. Passed X by the BBFC after heavy cuts for 1976 cinema release. Heavily cut in the US for an R rating. There is an uncut Unrated US release that contains hardcore inserts.

Summary Notes

Gorgeous Swedish cult siren Christina Lindberg plays Frigga who cannot speak after a childhood trauma. A rather shady character kidnaps her and after getting her hooked on heroine, he forces her to work as a prostitute, and gouges her eye out when she refuses her first client. Frigga saves her money and pays for lessons in martial arts, before taking her revenge on those cruel customers and her pimp.

As the title suggests this is one viciously bleak film. From the barren wind swept Swedish landscape and eerie electric score to the hard core sex scenes and eye gouge scene which was created using a real cadaver, Thriller is a truly potent cult shocker.

Lindberg is a truly striking and unforgettable cult figure, carrying a shotgun and dressed all in black she is enigmatic and certainly makes shameless plagiarizer Tarantino's work look pale by comparison.

• 2004 Synapse Limited Edition R1 DVD via UK Amazon and at US Amazon

The uncut version includes hardcore inserts of penetration and ejaculation

The US Synapse DVD identified as the Vengeance Edition is missing the hardcore scenes, and has a shortened eye gouging scene, but contains the rest of the violence.

• 1976 cinema release

Presumably this is based on the US Version: This was heavily cut to try and obtain distribution in the US. Madeleine was re-named to Frigga, the hardcore sex-scenes were all cut, and several scenes including violence were censored as well. Overall, about 25 minutes of the movie were taken out.

• 1965 cinema release

The BBFC cuts were:

• The first of two short scenes where Bond is seen stroking the naked back of the spa employee with a mink glove was removed. This cut was reinstated for the video release, and has always been present in all home video versions in the UK

See article from bbfc.co.uk :

In April 1965 Eon Productions sent a shooting script of Thunderball to the BBFC for advice on how the finished film might be considered for classification. The letter published here [pdf] details the BBFC's lengthy response to the script. Mindful that an X certificate would not be consistent with the previous three Bond films, the letter specifies over thirty aspects of the script that could be problematic for an A certificate.

John Trevelyan sums up the general concern of the BBFC when he explains:

I get the impression that this screenplay has been deliberately hotted up with a view to its including more sex, sadism and violence than the previous Bond pictures, and… it seems less light-hearted in tone.

In the end only one cut for an A was required – the sight of Bond stroking the back of a partially nude girl with a mink glove.

• 2013 Seyons HD Entertainment video

• 2012 cinema release

The BBFC commented:

The distributor chose to cut a scene of torture, in which it is implied that two of a terrorist suspect's fingers are cut off, together with images of strong violence (a blood spurt as an old lady is shot in the head and a male character's arm being broken/dislocated with a long pole, and blood dripping from a male character's mouth) in order to achieve a 12A classification. A 15 uncut was available to the distributor.

Uncut by film censors, but has a place in censorship history. See  article from  cinemaretro.com :

When it came to releasing Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! in the U.S. in 1990, Almodovar was met with some resistance from the MPAA ratings board. The dreaded X rating was threatened, forcing Miramax, the film's distributor, to sue. The film was eventually released unrated ; however, it was this lawsuit that prompted the MPAA to change the stigmatized X to the more consumer-friendly NC-17.

Ironically, the NC-17 rating wasn't an improvement. The stigma remained and the media in many areas of the country continued the policy of refusing to advertise NC-17-rated movies.)

Tiger Heart

Passed uncut in 2005

A reader noted that a recent Channel 5 showing for the film included a fight in a convenience store that featured nunchakus. As this coincidently lasted a minute it seems logical that it was this scene that offended the BBFC.

The cut's were waived when the BBFC decided that the disputed scene did not constitute an indecent image. You do not see Maria's pubes and it seems likely (from other evidence - eg the book about the making of the film) that Scholndorff made her wear masking tape at this point. The offending shot simply shows a young boy pressing his face against a woman's pubic region (not actually her vagina). 

It is  a serious film with little else to comfort paedophiles and expert views agreed that the scene was no more indecent (or vulnerable to misuse) than some of the other scenes in the film, such as the sherbert licking.

shortened

• 1997 Disc VHS
• 1994 Connoisseur VHS

The BBFC cuts were:

• A shot has been deleted from the scene where the young Oskar is seen burying his head in Maria's pubic area.

The film was transmitted uncut on Channel 4 during this time.

Tinto Brass Presents: 4

Cut by the BBFC when submitted in 2004 with the following statement: Cuts required to remove sight of abusive knife play during sexual activity. Company also chose to cut explicit images of oral-genital contact, dildo penetration, masturbation and penetration with finger for 18. The sexual detail, though not the knife play, could have been passed R18.

The context in which explicit imagery occurs is a key factor in the BBFC's decisions. But every work is different and it is not possible to list the sort of situations which justify real sex at '18'. Images of real sex were cut from a collection of erotic short films, Tinto Brass Presents – 4, to obtain an '18', on the grounds that the work was too close in tone and intent to a sex work designed to produce sexual arousal.

Not cut in the UK or US, but was tidied up in 2012 for Blu-ray. Goofs were removed and night time backgrounds were modified for  accuracy
