BBFC Cuts U

U.R. The Star: Sports Hero

Cut by the BBFC for 1995 VHS

• 1995 Sheptonhurst VHS

BBFC category cuts for a 12A rated 2013 cinema release

Summary Notes

The movie story is set against the backdrop of the National Highways leading to Bangalore.

• 2013 cinema release

The BBFC commented:

• Distributor chose to remove moments of violence and drug use in order to achieve a 12A classification. An uncut 15 classification was available.

The BBFC further explained in the 2013 Annual Report:

Udhayam NH4 contained a scene in which a woman snorts cocaine in a bathroom and some moments of strong violence. The distributor chose to remove these scenes to achieve its preferred 12A classification

• 2013 cinema version not released

The film was first submitted and was passed 15 uncut for strong violence, threat and drug use. The distributors had a quick rethink and opted for a cut 12A version.

Ulli Lommel's Boogeyman

The Ultimate Fighting Championship I

The Ultimate Fighting Championship II

The Ultimate Fighting Championship III

The Ultimate Ric Flair Collection

Cut when submitted in 2003 with the following justification: Cut to easily imitable and potentially lethal technique (the tying of a plastic bag around a competitor's head) on the grounds that likely viewers or others may suffer harm.

The BBFC added in an email:

The Board looks very closely at images that might convince children that potentially lethal acts are easily reversed. Such acts include climbing into domestic machinery, such as washing machines; playing with electrical appliances, or nooses, etc. Asphyxiation with a plastic bag obviously falls in to this category. While a more experienced and sophisticated viewer (such as you or I) might recognise that the Ric Flair sequence is only play, and may result in dire consequences if copied in real life, younger viewers are not always so able to 'reality test'. Younger children, especially, have a tendency to act out or play, as a means of discovering and experiencing things. Adults can more easily project likely outcomes, based on their wider and lengthier experiences. Children cannot predict the consequences of actions so easily.

We know that the wrestling genre has a considerable audience with younger boys (as low as junior school age) and although a work may be classified at 15 or 18, some parents and carers choose to ignore this. We would be in dereliction of one of our professed aims and responsibilities, therefore, if we were to pass this work out uncut at any category. It is a well known fact that children have died in accidents involving plastic bags and the relevant industries have taken measures to prevent this. If any child were to result in harm as a result of copying something they had seen in a videotape, such as the action discussed, it would be a terrible tragedy. I am sure that you would agree that the loss of some personal freedom, ie cuts, is a small price to pay for the greater good.

The BBFC passed the Theatrical Version 15 without BBFC cuts for the  2006 cinema release and 2006 Sony DVD.

Ulysses

The BBFC passed the film 15 uncut for:

• 2004 Arrow R2 DVD at UK Amazon

The shorter running time seems explained by the removal of a 6 minute opening blank screen with just a musical overture.

•  1996 Lumiere VHS

The running time suggests that this is the uncut Theatrical Version.

• 1967 cinema release

The submitted running time was noted as 131:31s = 126:15s

Ulysses Against Hercules

• Ulysses Against the Son of Hercules

Ulzana's Raid

There is a Robert Aldrich Director's Cut which was shown in the US. Burt Lancaster re-edited the film for the first European releases. The BBFC cut the film for violence for an X rated 1973 cinema release. These cuts were restored for VHS but new cuts for horsefalls were then required. In 2003 the Director's Cut was submitted for DVD but again the animal cruelty cuts were required.

Summary Notes

Report reaches the US cavalry that the Apache leader Ulzana has left his reservation with a band of followers. A compassionate young officer, Lieutenant DeBuin, is given a small company to find him and bring him back; accompanying the troop is McIntosh, an experienced scout, and Ke-Ni-Tay, an Apache guide. Ulzana massacres, rapes and loots across the countryside; and as DeBuin encounters the remains of his victims, he is compelled to learn from McIntosh and to confront his own naiveté and hidden prejudice.

Australia

• Universal R2 DVD at UK Amazon

US: The US release is uncut for:

• 2011 Universal R1 DVD at US Amazon

Australia: The Australian DVD release from Universal is the uncut Aldrich version.

• 2003 Universal R2 DVD

The BBFC commented:

• Cuts required to sight of illegal horse falls

• 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.

From IMDB:

There are two versions of this film, Robert Aldrich's print (RA) and Burt Lancaster's (BL) print.

There are many subtle differences between the two although the overall running times are similar and most of the changes involve alterations of shots or lines of dialog within scenes.

The major differences versions are:

• The Aldrich version has an opening scene (before the credits) showing Ulzana leaving the reservation. This is missing from the Lancaster print.
• The BL version deletes almost all shots of Burt Lancaster's Indian woman - played by Aimee Eccles
• The BL version has a scene showing the two troopers pursuing the wounded Indian, The off-screen Indian kills one of them with rifle fire and the survivor rides away. This is missing from the RA print therefore creating more ambiguity as to what actually happened when the survivor returns.
• The scene in which the rape victim plunges herself in the river is longer in the RA version and she refers to herself trying to wash it off . In the BL version, the scene is abridged to suggest only suicide.

See full details from tlweb.latrobe.edu.au

• 1985 CIC VHS

The cuts for violence were restored but the video was cut of 45s of horse falls.

• 1973 cinema release

There were cuts for violence including:

• the shots of Willy Rukeyser's mutilated body
• the scene where the Indians throw the trooper's severed heart to each other the

Note that a 16mm version distributed to cinema clubs does not have the BBFC cuts.

The National Film Archive's copy is the BBC's print and unfortunately still has the BBC's cuts in it.

The cuts are similar for all UK video releases. See pictorial cuts details from movie-censorship.com . The cuts were:

• 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.

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?

Under Siege 2

• Under Siege 2: Dark Territory

Cut in the US to achieve an R rating. This version was passed uncut for UK cinema release but the BBFC made many cuts for home video.

Summary Notes

Casey Ryback hops on a Colorado to LA train to start a vacation with his niece. Early into the trip, terrorists board the train and use it as a mobile HQ to hijack a top secret destructive US satellite.

Cutting Edge: Steven Seagal Special

Steven Seagal: The Complete Cuts
 

• during the fight with a terrorist where Ryback cuts the terrorist'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.

It is speculated that this is additional footage cut by the MPAA for an R Rating.

The BBFC commented:

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.

The BBFC cuts were:

• 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.

Under the Doctor

• The Way You Smile

The 1999 Cinema Club video was uncut.

Unhinged

Uncut version is available at:

Uncut by the BBFC for an 18 rated 1983 cinema release. Banned as a video nasty in 1983. Uncut for DVD since 2004.

Summary Review : Check it out

Three college girls on their way to a jazz festival crash their car in the isolated woods during a rainstorm, and are taken in by a mysterious family in an old mansion. Little do the girls know, the family has a dark, murderous secret.

Of course the acting is second rate and mundane in places, of course the camera work is shoddy, of course the direction is somewhat inept and the script is tacky. But it was made on a tight budget for crying out loud. In fact, I'll gladly offer a billion quid to anyone who can name me just one perfectly directed slasher film.

Nevertheless, there are more upsides than downsides to this movie: the violence can be quite shocking in places (especially the machette killing) which happens off screen but is still relentless and brutal. The synth music is eerily brilliant and the overall brooding atmosphere makes you think twice about visiting the toilet for a while.

C heck it out - it's a really good horror film.

See  interview with director John Hyams from  collider.com :

Hyams : Yeah, there is an NC-17 cut. The one that's On-Demand and in theaters is R. When they fight in the sporting goods store and he nails him with a bat, what did you see?

Collider : I think we see his face cave in a little bit. But the thing I remember most is the reaction shot of the girlfriend where she's looking at the main character and thinking, Oh... this guy might be less safe than anyone else around me.

Hyams : Right. So, you might have seen the R cut.

Collider : What's in the NC-17 version there?

Hyams : In the NC-17 version, at least in that scene in particular -- and that's just one moment -- you literally like half of his face fly off.

Collider : Yeah, I mostly remember the girl. But I figured you would have gotten the NC-17 for the scene where there's the naked guy who gets shot and stabbed a bunch of times.

Hyams : Yeah, somehow the guy's naked frontal didn't bother them. We had to take out one... that scene in the brothel, there were a bunch of cuts to that. I would say that there were cuts made to every action scene in the movie. Some of them not so drastic, most of them not so drastic. Just little bits here and there, maybe not lingering on something for so long. what [the MPAA] had said to me was that, outside of a few very specific images we had to get rid of, it was mostly just about the accumulation of the violence.

Collider : Yeah. It's grueling at a point. But it's never grueling in a way that made me want to stop watching. I wanted to find out what happened next. But it was an endurance test on some level.

Hyams : Right, right. So the NC-17 version might be a slightly greater endurance test. But it plays pretty much the same. We showed the NC-17 version at Fantastic-Fest. But the Blu-Ray will be the unrated version.

• 2004 Anchor Bay Entertainment UK Video via UK Amazon

Summary Review: Impressive monster suit

Back in the 1800's a lady gives birth to a monster. They decide that the baby is too ugly to name, therefore the monster is known as the Unnamable . The creature brutally slaughters his family, and gets trapped in a vault. Go ahead to 1998, and some college students have heard the story about the unnamable and want to check out the vault...

Pros: Cast is game, especially Mark Kinsey Stephenson who sinks his teeth into the role. Eerie score. Spooky location and atmosphere. Moves along at a decent pace. Writer/director/co-producer Jean-Paul Ouellette does a pretty good job of creating suspense. Impressive monster suit, not to mention frightening. Also some realistic gore effects. Made with an obvious affection for the source material.

Cons: Really thin of plot, which hurts the pacing a little. An abundance of cliche's. A bit dated.

The cuts were for blurred hardcore sex scenes featuring some imaginative sexual violence. See pictorial cuts from movie-censorship.com

Summary Notes

It is the age of the Overfiend, and flesh-hungry monsters rule the Earth. Immortal half-demon Amano Jyaku travels the wasteland, witness to the rape and torture of the human race. The last hope for humanity is the demonic Lord of Chaos, the Overfiend's natural enemy. Will the world survive their final battle?

Throughout the work, there are realistic animated representations of children involved in sexual acts and perceived as sexual objects, or witnessing sexual acts. The Board's concern about the attractiveness of such material to paedophiles, and the appeal of the cartoon style to young children who would thereby be more vulnerable to its use by paedophiles to entice them, was confirmed by advice from a Consultant Clinical Psychologist. It is therefore unsuitable for classification under the Video Recordings Act 1984.

Before rejection, the Board carefully considered whether cuts would remove the dangers. However, they would have to be so extensive that no viable version of the work would remain. Indeed, it is doubtful if any version of the work would be acceptable.

• 1996 Kiseki /Manga VHS

Rejected on the grounds of its pornographic treatment of sexual violence. This involved children in the abuse and physical mutilation of women. in one scene a boy of 10 or 11 years old is sexually assaulted by two naked women and saves himself by tearing them apart, stripping the flesh off one and ripping the other's buttocks apart. Children become voyeurs of adult sex, instigating and viewing orgies and applauding the rape of pubescent children. As so often in Manga cartoons, these are tentacled multi-orifice rapes by lecherous monsters, which the Board found depraving and corrupting.
