BBFC Cuts X

The X Files
aka

• The X Files Movie
• The X Files: Fight the Future

The Extended Version was passed 15 uncut for the 2000 20th Century Fox DVD

From version details on IMDb:

• In the opening scene you now see more of the alien. In the theatrical release we see it fight off one of the cavemen, killing it, and the other caveman gets up to see it lying on the ground draining out the black blood (or what fans know as black oil). In the video release, we see it run off after it kills one of the cavemen, and when the other caveman gets up, he tracks it down and then kills it using the broken end of his torch.
• In the scene with Mulder talking to the Well Manicured Man in the car, he reveals to Mulder that Samantha, Mulder's sister, was abducted by aliens at the request of her father, William Mulder, so she could be part of the colonization project, thus ensuring her survival in the colonization of Earth by the visitors. Also revealed is that when plans went awry, Mulder was intended, by his father, to seek the truth and reveal what had been done.
• There is also an added scene in the video release with Mulder running down the street after the hospital scene.

The BBFC cut 7:01s for the 2007 Future Publishing DVD: Distributor chose to remove a non-playable demo of the videogame BIOSHOCK featuring very strong violence in order to achieve a 15. An 18 uncut was available.

Xena - Warrior Princess: The Black Wolf

Cut when submitted in 2003 with the following BBFC explanation: Cut required to sight of double handed blow to sides of head ("double ear clap") by Xena, on the grounds that it is a highly dangerous and easily imitable blow performed by the heroine, occurs in a work with significant appeal to children

Xero

The US release is uncut and MPAA Unrated for:

• US 2010 Cobra 2 Disc Collectors Edition R0 DVD at Adult Video Universe

See article from en.wikipedia.org: Aesthetic and gloomy

Xero is an aesthetic and gloomy trip into a world of lesbian erotic, eschaton phantasies and Japanese zen-tradition. It's a movie and a musical album of composers and producers Rockford Kabine. The movie derives it's effect from the close liaison of pictures and sound. Artistic references are the works of Alejandro Jodorowsky and the Japanese Pink Film/Exploitation-genre, as well as the soundtracks of Ennio Morricone.

• UK 2011 4Digital/Redemption 2 Disc Collectors Edition R2 DVD

The BBFC commented:

Distributor chose to remove several sequences of explicit sexual detail (masturbation, oral sex and penetration) in order to achieve an 18 classification. An R18 without cuts available.

Summary Review: Much to enjoy

If you can overlook its obviously low budget and tolerate the BBC Radiophonic Workshop-like synthesizer on the soundtrack, there's much to enjoy in XTRO. It's a simple tale of a family man returning to Earth after three years in the company of aliens whose customs and ways of life he hasn't completely surrendered.

Fans of the gross and outrageous will enjoy the sight of a fully-grown man being literally reborn and the several messy killings that further spice up this warped and somewhat disturbing British shocker. Although clearly inspired by Ridley Scott's Alien, XTRO actually bears more than a passing resemblance to Norman J.Warren's notorious Inseminoid, except things are much nastier here.

pre-cut
1s

The Xtreme Edition is the Director's Cut pre-cut by the distributor to tone down the headbutt that was previously cut by the BBFC. This was passed 12 without BBFC cuts for moderate violence and drug references.  The BBFC ironically noted that the headbutt cut was now waived anyway for:

• UK 2005 Sony R2 DVD

~8:00s

The cut PG-13 Theatrical Version was passed 12 after a further 1s of BBFC cuts for intense action scenes and mild drugs references for:

• UK 2007 Sony R0 Blu-ray
• UK 2003 Columbia/TriStar R2 DVD
• UK 2002 cinema release

The BBFC commented:

• Distributor chose to make one sound and vision cut to sight of headbutt in order to achieve a 12. An uncut '15' was available to the distributor.

Don't believe the misleading title, the 18 rated sex DVDs are strictly softcore

xXx2: The Next Level

• xXx: State of the Union

Not cut by the BBFC but this comment appears on their website: During post-production, the distributor sought and was given advice on how to secure a 12A classification. Following this advice, a sequence early in the film in which a man is stabbed from behind was changed prior to submission to remove detail of the knife emerging from his stomach. The submitted work was passed 12A without cuts.

The same cut occurred in the 12A cinema version and the 12-rated DVD submissions of 2006.

Unfortunately Sony used the cut UK version for all European releases too.
