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. |

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. |

The BBFC carefully considered the arguments put forward by the submitting company and looked again at the relevant submitted material, but concluded that its original determination was appropriate. It seems likely that the cut US PG-13 version was submitted for cinema and the 12 rated DVD release |

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. |

The Wings of Honneamise aka
|
|
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. |

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. The uncut region 2 DVD is available at UK
Amazon
in Box of the Banned 2 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. |

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.
