Cut when submitted in 2008 with the following BBFC statement: The distributor chose to cut three scenes containing clear images of real sex (oral / genital contact during lesbian cunnilingus). An 'R18' without cuts was available to the distributor.

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

Cut in 2006 with the following BBFC comment: The cuts were Cuts for Category. Distributor chose to make cuts to clearly unsimulated sexual activity (penetration)

20:54s pre-cut and a further 10s cut by the BBFC

The cut was waived when the Director's Cut was submitted in 2005. However Gavin points out that contrary to common belief, the headbutt is still missing.

BBFC justification:

The uncut region 2 DVD is available at UK Amazon

Amazon Review:

Triple X is a non-stop thrill ride with an action hero as resourceful and clever as he is atypical of the secret agent genre. In this refreshing, highly entertaining vehicle, young Vin Diesel demonstrates he has inherited (actually co-inherited with The Rock) the crown of action movie star from the likes of Van Damme, Schwarzenegger, Willis, and Stallone.

Cut in 2006 with the following BBFC comment: The cuts were Cuts for Category. Company chose to remove explicit images of sexual activity (in this case, sight of unsimulated penetration with dildos) in order to achieve an 18 classification

Cut in 2006 with the following BBFC comment: The cuts were Cuts for Category. Distributor chose to make multiple cuts to clearly unsimulated and explicit sexual activity

• 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 12-rated video DVD.
