Waiting to XXX-Hale 11:36s R18 cert 60:11s 1998 release

Although the current tightened up R18 guidelines say that nudity including erections are acceptable, erections and labial detail have been cut from this version. Of course all of the hardcore action has been completely deleted. A totally pointless product painstakingly destroyed by the BBFC. No doubt readily available in the uncut version a few hundred metres from the BBFC offices.

41:09s 18 cert 41:26s Special Edition

The BBFC at their censorial worst on this one. The reason cited is that this video clearly depicts real sex throughout. The distributors were told to remove all hardcore scenes and those that barely mask the point of penetration. The most offensive BBFC requirement is that the length of sex scenes should be shortened. Assuming that all hardcore has been excised surely there can be no legal difference between a 6 minute scene and a 4 minute scene. Therefore the BBFC must be censoring running time just for the fun of it with no legal requirements to back up their whims.

16s 15 cert 108:23s 2007 China/Hong Kong action film by Peter Chan & Wai Man Yip (Metrodome)

The BBFC cut the 2008 film release by 16s and the cuts are carried across to the 2009 Metrodome DVD: Cuts were required to remove all sight of animal cruelty (horses being made to fall forward onto their necks).

The BBFC explained further:

THE WARLORDS is an historical epic about a trio of blood brothers between whom terrible rifts soon form. The film was classified '15' for strong violence.

The film contains numerous bloody stabbings, sword slashes and impalements in the context of battle scenes. However, although blood is seen, the violence does not dwell on detail and nor does it possess a sadistic edge. The historical/costume nature of the work also helps to mitigate. The violence that is shown is in line with the BBFC's Guideline requirement that, at '15, 'Violence may be strong but may not dwell on the infliction of pain and injury'.

The subtitles also feature some mild language (bastard, hell).

From Liberty Stink on The Melon Farmers Forum:

The cuts play havoc with a couple of scenes in this UK release (so it may better to get the uncut but abridged region 1 DVD available at US Amazon)

The 132 minute version (127 in PAL) is a shortened edit that has been criticised for losing characterisation and continuity. The complete version runs at 158 minutes.

178:44s 2009 US Action film by Zack Snyder

The BBFC passed the 2009 Director's Cut on Paramount Blu-ray 18 uncut

Version details from US Amazon:

The director's cut runs about 25 minutes longer, and incorporates more elements from the comics, adds more violence, as well as more shots of Dr. Manhatten's schlong. Some of the previous scenes are reworked with additional dialogue.

Overall, the storyline and conversations are better fleshed out, and this version is truer to the comics. The largest additional addition is that of Hollis Mason's death.

  • Rorschach gets additional dialogue, some straight from the comics.
  • When Rorschach searches the Comedian's apartment shortly after the opening scene, he encounters two cops still stationed there. He fights briefly with them before jumping back out the window.
  • Conversation between Dan and Rorschach (beans scene) is extended.
  • All flashbacks extended, with the exception of Sally's.
  • Dr. Manhatten discussing the symbol on his forehead. Additional questions in the face to face with Dr. Manhatten. Dan and Hollis watch Dr. Manhatten go crazy on their TV set.
  • Laurie getting interrogated by the military as they try to determine Dr. M's whereabouts (on Mars). Alessandro Juliani's scene has been reinserted. He plays one of the scientists who bursts in during the interrogation of Laurie to tell the military that they've located Dr. M on Mars.
  • Probably the biggest addition is the depiction of Hollis Mason's death at the hands of the knot heads. Interestingly, the death is done from poor Hollis' POV, where he imagines himself fighting the gangsters of the 1940s. He delivers left and right hooks to Captain Evil, before being done in by "Moloch". The score for the death scene is very fitting.
  • Dan taking revenge on an isolated knot head at a bar, post Hollis' death. It's a brutal revenge.
  • The shootout by hired hitman Roy Chess is much more brutal- e.g. more blood and gore, fingers blown off.
  • Conversation between Dr. Long and Rorschach is extended.
  • Longer jail-break scene with arguments between Rorschach and Laurie. Prison guards open fire on Dan's ship.
  • Longer conversation between Dr. M and L on Mars.
  • Riot scene is longer with more conversation between the Comedian and the rioters.
  • Agent Forbes (Fulvio Cecere) has a larger role as the government agent in charge of handling all the Watchmen.

There is also an extended version titled The Ultimate Version. See pictorial version details from movie-censorship.com

See review from IMDb: Silly, but not a total waste of time

If you can get through the first half hour of this film, which features bad dialogue and stiff performances, you may just enjoy it.

A small group of spoiled teens (and one nice girl) go into a mysterious wax museum after hours and each succumb to a different, and dangerous, display. John Rhys Davies is here as a tortured, dramatic werewolf. Miles O'Keefe is a hair product dependent Count Dracula, who seduces the rich-bitch of the group into a nasty, bloody, gross-out dinner party. The Nice Girl (Deborah Foreman) is drawn into the S&M world of The Marquis De Sade (as played by the too seldom seen J. Kenneth Campbell) and it is up to the rich boy turned nice guy to save her before she is whipped to death. Once all of the displays are filled, the characters within are unleashed, and it becomes a war within the wax museum as the remaining heroes must now battle the wax monsters and their transformed friends.

All in all, this plays more like a comedy than a horror film, but the violence, when it appears, is so over-the-top that splatter fans won't be too disappointed.

  Video Nasty   1975 Spanish horror by Miguel Iglesias (Canon)

Released on video by Canon in October 1982.

Added to the video nasty list in August 1984 and remained listed throughout the panic.

See review from IMDb: Monster Movie

A team of scientists travel to Tibet to track down the Yeti. Among the group is Waldemar (Naschy) the werewolf who gets into a fight with the Yeti.

This had an extremely low budget, which I think really helped the film because it's just like those B monster movies from the 1940's.

The Yeti looks incredibly stupid but Naschy is quite good in his role and the werewolf look is nice. The Yeti is only used at the start and end of the film, which is a shame but the side plot dealing with Tibet rebels was nicely done.

The BBFC cut the 1979 cinema release

Wilderness cut 15 cert 90:22s 2006 UK horror by Michael J Bassett (Technicolor Home Entertainment)

All versions pre-cut by the distributor as described by the BBFC in 2006

The distributor had requested it be considered for a ‘15’ when sent in for an advice viewing. However, with four uses of ‘cunt’, two of which were aggressive and in one case linked to a man head butting a woman, the language in the film was considered too strong for ‘15’.

The distributor chose to reduce the very strong language in the film’s final edit, leaving a single use of ‘cunt’ said in frustration, which could be accommodated at the ‘15’ already required by the other violence, gore and strong language in the work.

Willard   15 cert 96:12s 2003 US drama by Glen Morgan (Entertainment in Video)

Not cut by censors but the studio shot the film as an R rated horror but decided to tone it down for a PG-13. The toned down version is the only version ever released.

Repeated use of 'fuck' was reduced down to one; computer porn images were removed; and Martin's death scene was made less bloody. These cut scenes are included in DVD extras

aka
  • The Wings of Honneamise: Royal Space Force
  • Honneamise No Tsubasa
  PG cert 119:06s 1987 Japanese anime by Hiroyuki Yamaga (Manga Entertainment)

Attempted rape scene removed, but apparently not by the BBFC. As described by one of their examiners: Wings of Honneamise was cut in one place. It was a wholly gratuitous sexual assault in the middle of a film which was otherwise a wonderful experience for younger viewers. But, and this is important as other distributors often do the same, it was voluntarily cut by Manga Video to lower the certificate from its cinema classification of 15 to a PG for the video release. When this happens, it is not registered as a cut.

The Witch who Came from the Sea

Witch who came in from the Sea DVD cover

uncut 18 cert 87:43s 1976 US video by Matt Cimber (Anchor Bar)

Passed uncut in 2006

The BBFC commented in their 2006 Annual Report:

The Witch Who Came From the Sea had briefly appeared on the Director of Public Prosecutions’ ‘video nasty’ list in 1984 before being removed in 1985 following unsuccessful prosecutions. Its strong bloody violence was acceptable at ‘18’, but not at a lower category.

Amazon Review:

Here is an odd little gem of a film that fortunately ( at least for fans of offbeat cinema) has resurfaced on DVD, boasting a pristine film transfer. Descriptions of the film, the title of the film, and even the DVD cover itself do little to relate, or even hint at what is, as it turns out, an altogether strange, unsettling, humorous, and entertaining cinematic treat. The off kilter acting styles, unnatural tone, and dark humor of the film shares a kinship to the works of David Lynch ( who is too often misused as a comparative description) and is sure to surprise and delight viewers who have an affinity for the outré. Highly recommended.

Review from US Amazon: A Must!

This is the kind of movie you can watch over and over, and each time you'll find something new to laugh at. Trying to mimic the hilariously delivered lines in the film, has yet to lose it's novelty between me and my friends.

The film certainly does do justice to the classic Roald Dahl novel about the adventures of Luke, a young boy staying at an English seaside hotel which happens to be inhabited by the entire population of English child-hating witches and their supreme leader, the grand high witch, who are all under the guise of nice charitable ladies.

The special effects are dazzling in combination with the delightful British humour which is contributed to by a number of familiar faces- Rowan Atkinson (Blackadder, Mr Bean)as the dry ill-tempered hotel manager, Jane Horrocks (Little Voice) as the fed up secretary, as well as Bill Paterson and Brenda Blethyn (Secrets and Lies). Yet the most fabulously larger than life performance is given by Anjelica Huston who plays Eva Ernst aka The Grand High Witch. The actress rightfully lets it rip, pumping energy and eccentricity into the character whist also displaying subtlety and composure when needed ie while she is in public view, disguised as chairman of the Royal Society for the prevention of cruelty to children.

The film is accessible to all and has the ability to tickle the dryest of hearts. Stocked with nice touches, even the extras are part and parcel of the fun. DO YOUR SENSE OF HUMOUR A FAVOUR AND WATCH THIS FILM!

The 15 rated release of 2007 is a minute shorter than the previous versions

Thanks to MM:

  • Watched the lovely looking R1 DVD last night and it contains a second or so missing from the Redemption/Metrodome/Tigon Boxset version including an additional axe blow to Price's body right at the end. (suggesting that this is the Continental version)

Versions from Redemption Films Ltd, Cinema Club & Metrodome (1995-2003) were described as the export or continental version

Note that the Metrodome DVD features both continental version and the Director's Cut

From IMDb:

This continental version has alternate takes of several tavern shots in which the various wenches are topless or have exposed breasts - in the UK version they are are more conservatively dressed - as well as extra scenes of torture and violence, notably additional axe blows to Price at the film's conclusion.

See review from IMDb: A Jewel

Jess Franco women in prison flick, which deals more with a jewellery robbery than the actual prison.

There's still some dirty moments including tons of nudity, a lesbian scene and a couple torture sequences but this is still fairly clear for a Franco WIP film.

Romay has never been accused of being a good actress but she fits her role fine here and she's certainly cute so watching her naked isn't a problem. Franco himself plays a gangster in the film, which is a role he did quite often during this time frame.

No BBFC cuts but the US version was cut and may well have been submitted here too.

  • In the theatrical version Tobey Maguire mistakenly refers to Alan Ladd's death as a suicide. After complaints from Ladd's family, Paramount removed the offending line in all future releases of the film, including home video. VHS and DVD releases carry a disclaimer, shown before the feature, warning that the film has been edited for content.
  • The video release appears to have been edited for language as well. Early in the film, when Michael Douglas is picking up his editor at the airport, he turns to him and says "you're fucked-up" but an overdubbing has him saying "you're high." Near the end of the film, when Robert Downey Jr. is chasing Vernon with his car, Vernon says "Motherfucker" but this was overdubbed to "man" for the video release.

WR: Mysteries of the Organism   18 cert 79:53s 1971 Yugoslavian film by Dusan Makavejev

Uncut for cinema release but censored for the video version. James Ferman indicated that he would have preferred the uncut version for video release but it was the censored version prepared for channel 4 that was submitted. The cinema version is one of the very few films released with BBFC blessings that contain hardcore scenes. Another film that contains hardcore material (at least in the cinema version) is the French film Annabelle partagee, which begins with a close-up of a penis being masturbated to orgasm. I think it's out on video, but I don't know if it's cut or not. Not a Love Story is another where hardcore scenes are justified by a documentary context.

  1. After opening credits a B&W Soviet sex-education film viewed through a kaleidoscope lens is obscured by animations of goldfish. Apparently this hasn't completely obscured the action and an erect penis can still be seen on close inspection.
  2. Wall paintings of men and women masturbating have been blanked out
  3. A sequence showing Jim Buckley having a plaster cast made of his erect penis has all the tumescent shots obscured by animated stars
