Ultimate Sex 16:02s 18 certificate 43:29s 1996 release by Andrew Burford (Mad Dog Productions)
Ulzana's Raid 17s 15 cert 98:37s 1972 US western by Robert Aldrich (Universal Pictures)

When submitted in 2003 the certificate dropped to a 15 with the following BBFC statement: Cuts required to sight of illegal horse falls

The UK DVD (and previous VHS) were cut by the BBFC to remove various horse falls. The cuts are very noticeable and render some scenes nonsensical. They are as follows:
  • when the Indians shoot the horse of the trooper rescuing the boy
  • two horse falls removed when Burt Lancaster uses a rifle to bring down two Indians, including Ulzana's son
  • The subsequent return of fire in which Lancaster's horse is brought down
  • At the end, when the Indians attack the wagon party, they direct two horses into a small canyon and bring them down with a rope stretched across the trail.

The German R2 DVD (identical to the UK DVD in terms of content including an English language soundtrack) is uncut and includes all the horse falls.

Under Siege

Under Siege DVD cover

7s 15 cert 98:07s 1992 US film by Andrew Davies. (Warner Home Video)

Widescreen version cut in 1998

The uncut region 1 DVD is available at US Amazon

Thanks to Chris:

E4 showed an uncut version of Under Siege with Steven Segal last night (04/12/06) All of the cuts stated on your site were included. Does this mean we can see an uncut version on DVD soon?

10s 15 cert 98:04s The cinema release was uncut but the Warner Home Video version of 1993 suffered as follows:
  • The confrontation between Casey Ryback (Steven Seagal) and the numerous people in the work shop has been censored by 5 seconds. The scene were one person gets cut up his inside thigh, then under his arm is eliminated. Also trimmed is the person who gets pushed near to the saw we don't see him being kneed in the groin forcing him upwards onto the saw which cuts into his right shoulder.
  • The fight with the last mercenery before Strannix has him have his adams apple ripped out.
  • The final fight between Casey and Strannix (Tommy Lee Jones) has also been shortened we don't see the result of the eye-gouging.
Under Siege 2
aka
  • Under Siege 2: Dark Territory
2:01s 18 certificate 93:23s 1995 US film by Geoff Murphy (Warner Home Video)

Cut by the BBFC for video in 1998 with the following justification:

Macho heroics were the order of the day in Steven Seagal's Under Siege 2, but the violence seemed too pervasive and gloating foy any category lower than 18, despite the distributor's willingness to cut. On video, however, the same relish for violence, most of it by the hero himself, could not be sanctioned at any category, and heavy cuts were made for 18. In retrospect, it might have been more satisfactory on film and video to have reduced the violence even further for the 15 requested.

  • After Casey Ryback (Steven Seagal) takes a knife from a mercenary we don't see the one second shot of the slash that he makes to his wrist.
  • When the mercenaries are told to sweep the train for an intruder and proceed to check the roof of the train, Ryback kicks someone off the front of it, however we don't see a brief close up of the top half of him being dragged along.
  • Dramatic cuts to the scene when Ryback throws the makeshift bomb at the top of the stairs which is caught by a mercenary, who goes up in flames, we don't see him then knock into another mercenary who also sets alight, after they stagger about for a quite a few seconds, some others try to put them out with coats while Penn (Everett McGill) has another method and shoots one of them in the back before they use extinguishers.
  • The first mercenary down the stairs who gets shot by a flare and ignites, omits the shots of him falling all the way down, who then stands up and is then kicked by Ryback, knocking the guy backwards hitting a doorway before falling out.
  • Next mercenary down the stairs who confronts Ryback we don't see him thrown into the side of the train, then have both his wrists broken before being suddenly brought to his knees.
  • When Ryback is hanging onto the side of the cliff and jumps across to the mercenary who drops a line next to him, after hitting him a few times we don't see Ryback swinging the rope smashing the guys face into the cliff.
  • When mercenary (Peter Grene) sneaks up behind the porter Bobby Zecks (Morris Chestnut), with which Ryback sneaks up behind him, after he flips him to the ground we should see his head being forced back, breaking his neck, hence Bobby's expression and the line Oh shit, you're definitely a bad mother fucker.
  • When Ryback is in the carriage full of hostages we should have another few seconds of the knife that he throws into a mercenary's neck and then him slowly falling to the ground.
  • After Ryback says he's coming to get his niece now to Penn, and mercenery (Patrick Killpatrick) says to him looks like you've fucked up old man, I say it's time to cut and run, in this country we only get a glimpse of the mercenary removing a knife from his trousers and attempt to stab Penn, who then in a split second removes the knife and stabs him in the front of the neck, who then falls to the ground.
  • When Ryback notices the grenade trap and sets it off he is attacked by another mercenary, when they are rolling about on the floor Ryback breaks his arm.
  • Close up of the knives that Ryback and Penn use before they fight.
  • Don't hear the sound effect of Penn having his neck broken after Ryback does the deed.
  • Once inside the helicopter after the trains crash into each other, Ryback closes the door on Danes fingers severing them as he slowly falls into the fire ball below, before going up in flames.

The following additional scenes were spotted in the 13 rated Canadian cinema version

  • during the fight with a terrorist where Ryback cuts the terorist's wrist, the fight concludes with Ryback stabbing the terrorist in the neck which is why you see blood on the terrorists chin and sweater when he falls out of the cupboard.
  • Also, during the climatic fight with the lead terrorist at the end Ryback forces the terrorists face onto a hot cooker (no cooking was being done!) This is just before they fall down the stairs. This is why the terrorist has a large red mark on his left cheek when you look at him lying down after falling down the stairs.
  • There is also much more to the final fight in the downstairs kitchen.

Thanks to Andrew Oct 2006:

Shown on Bravo TV uncut so perhaps a film where the BBFC have given an informal nod towards an uncut release

Underground Orgy
aka
  • Stacked Deck
5s R18 cert 81:07s 1995 US Hardcore video by Mitchell Spinelli (Sheptonhurst)
  • Title changed for supposedly having an association with under-age sex. The original title appears to be Stacked Deck so perhaps it had already been retitled by the distributor
  • The 5s cut is probably refering to the on-screen time of the title board
