BBFC cinema cuts:

  • The fight in the lift between Peter Franks and Bond was reduced to remove blows and sound effects.
  • Bond squirting the fire extinguisher into Frank's face was reduced in length.
  • Bond menacing Mr Kidd with a broken brandy bottle was trimmed. It's so brief in the film, one wonders what was cut, but my guess is that the actual grabbing and breaking of the bottle was cut, leaving just the footage of Bond throwing the liquid onto Kidd's arms. Perhaps what little focus there is on the weapon was deemed a more serious imitability issue back then.
  • Footage of the ablaze Mr Kidd running across the deck screaming and climbing up onto the railing, as he throws himself overboard was removed, leaving just the shot of him hitting the water. When shown on TV, this scene is usually cut similarly.

Cuts Summary . The 12 seconds of BBFC cuts include some chain-whipping in the fight between McClane and Targo.

  1. Dialogue cut throughout for language eg "Fuck you Joe" becomes "Go away Joe"
  2. Killing of guard by the mute woman: entry & withdrawal of knife, blood spurt are all cut.
  3. Lift scene at end: McClane shooting and the resulting blood sprays on his face are cut. US version is graphically extended including one man getting his head blown off and his body slumping on top of John. This is why John is on the floor when he crawls out of the lift door and is soaked in blood.
  4. Two terrorists in a truck being riddled with bullets shot through the door is missing a little of the victims juddering.
  5. Missing shot of a man on a boating being sliced in half by a cable

Many thanks to Gav Salkeld who compiled a detailed list of of cuts:

The BBFC gave the film a '15' rating for the cinema release after applying almost 15 seconds of cuts. These cuts apply to the DVD version only; VHS and cinema cuts are slightly different. Its worth noting that the DVD version has had some footage slyly reinstated without the BBFC's knowledge, so in theory it is an 18. This trend is seemingly becoming more frequent as the years go on, and why this is I don't know. Another point is that the subtitles on the DVD are uncut 95% of the time, as they are based on the uncut print! Also, if you listen carefully under the commentary, all of the uncut dialogue can be heard too!

The BBFC did not implement all of the cuts, however. The distributors were simply told to reduce the volume of the film's bad language by removing the more aggressive strong- and very strong language, and that which could not be justified by context. The distributors were not told what individual words to remove.

See Die Hard Special Edition

Thanks to Andrew:

It is worth noting that the cut mute woman knife attack sequence is shown in full on the 2nd disk of the region 2 special edition, yet cut significantly in the disk 1 film!

If you are considering buying it, may I recommend the Aussie region 4 2007 release, it might not be the 2 disk, but its a PAL format, digitally re-mastered sound and visual, and uncut. stay away from the region 1, I implore you, which has problems.

Thanks to Andrew re TV showing in March 2008

Well once again its happened, the BBFC's former decision makers have made their successors look dumb. Tonight in a 9 PM slot Die Hard with a Vengeance was shown uncut on UK Gold! You'd have expected channel 4 or 5 to screen it in this version 10 years ago as an act of independent rebellion, but UK Gold?

All swearing was intact and dub free (the guys a flunky!), and the poorly edited lift sequence shown in all its brain splattering glory. Making the Region 2 Buena Vista 2 disk special edition look a lot less special.

From IMDb:

The original release of the UK DVD version in 1999 was actually even more cut than the British video and cinema versions. This was apparently because a TV or airline version was erroneously used to master the DVD. Ironically, because the content does not exactly match the officially classified version, this much-sanitized release was effectively illegal to sell, and was withdrawn. The replacement, to be issued in mid-2000, will be the same as the less-censored UK video and cinema version.

US: This Theatrical Version was cut in the US to achieve a PG-13:

  • Profanity was deleted to leave just the one instance allowed in PG-13
  • The much quoted line: Yippiee-ki-yay Motherfucker was obscured by out of place gunfire

The BBFC commented on their 15 Rating as follows:

DIE HARD 4.0 is an action thriller about the subverting of computer networks throughout the USA in order to spread destruction and mayhem as a mask for the largest money theft ever. The film was passed '15' for frequent action violence and one use of strong language.

The BBFC's Guidelines at '12A' state that 'violence must not dwell on detail' and that 'there should be no emphasis on injuries or blood'. Throughout the film there are several moments where the violence does focus on injury and it was these moments, in combination with the sheer relentlessness of the film's frequent action violence, which placed DIE HARD 4.0 more appropriately at '15'. The film also contains one use of strong language ('motherfucker'), which was clear even with the end of the word obscured by the sound of gunshots. BBFC policy regarding language at 12A states that 'mouthed and bleeped uses of 'motherfucker' are allowed' and that 'mouthed language will usually be identifiable but inaudible'. With the term clearly audible in this case, the '15' certificate was required.

DIE HARD 4.0 also features some mild verbal sex references and a brief scene in which ads for websites offering sexual services are displayed on a computer screen.

Summary Notes

When Paleontologist Peter Larson and his team from the Black Hills Institute of Geological Research made the world's greatest dinosaur discovery in 1990, they knew it was the find of a lifetime; the largest, most complete T. rex ever found. But during a ten-year battle with the U.S. government, powerful museums, Native American tribes, and competing paleontologists, they found themselves not only fighting to keep their dinosaur but fighting for their freedom as well.

See BBFC board meeting minutes from July 2022 [pdf] from darkroom.bbfc.co.uk :

Re a scene of sexual violence from 1973 exploitation film THE DIRTY DOLLS. In the clip, a kidnapped woman is sexually assaulted by two other women, with sexualised nudity and a focus on the attackers' pleasure.

BBFC Classification Guidelines state that intervention may be required at the adult category where material presents a credible harm risk to individuals or, through their behaviour, to society. This may include portrayals of rape or other non-consensual sexually violent behaviour which make the violence look appealing; reinforce the suggestion that victims enjoy rape or other non-consensual sexually violent behaviour; or which invite viewer complicity in rape, other non-consensual sexually violent behaviour or other harmful violent activities.

The Board considered whether the THE DIRTY DOLLS was in breach of the guidelines, and ultimately concluded that the film's depiction of sexual violence was so lacking in believability and credibility that it did not represent a genuine harm risk requiring compulsory cuts to the film. Accordingly, in line with the BBFC's guiding principle that adults should be able to choose their own entertainment provided the content is not illegal or harmful, the Board agreed that THE DIRTY DOLLS could be classified 18 uncut.

96:27s 2006 UK comedy by Jim Hickey

The BBFC informally cut the 2006 cinema release and 2007 Pathe DVD : This film was originally shown to the BBFC in an unfinished version. The BBFC recommended that a sequence featuring a man sucking excrement from the anus of a live rabbit would need to be removed before the film could be classified '18'. This cut was requested on the grounds of an infringement of the Cinematograph Films (Animals) Act 1937. When the finished version was submitted, this sequence had been deleted and the film was passed '18' without further cuts.

Note that there is also a heavily cut US R Rated Version that cuts and blurs the frequent sights of guys cocks.

The BBFC cut the 1995 Polygram video by 1:22s

Thanks to Ricky for the BBFC details:

Cuts were made in four scenes as follows:

  1. number of blows to head reduced to two only in scene during which Bella kills sleeping man with hammer
  2. asphyxiation of fat man reduced by minimising close sight of him struggling for breath
  3. forcible oral rape in car park reduced to a minimum by removing shots showing man's pleasure, Bella's head bobbing and sight of Bella spewing up
  4. final sexual assault on pier reduced to establishment only.

We were asked to consider the film for video release shortly after some amendments had been made to the Video Recordings Act to tighten up what was permitted in videos. Therefore the Board made some cautious cuts to reduce the impact and offensiveness of the film. It is perhaps less likely that they would be required today.

Cut in 2006 with the following BBFC comment: Cuts required to remove scenes of violence, threat, humiliation and abuse, potential harm, and ambiguous consent, all in a sexual context.

The BBFC explained further in their 2006 Annual Report:

A Channel 4 funded programme billed as an alternative news magazine, featured a discussion on pornography containing illustrative clips of degrading, violent pornography. These clips required pixilation to remove images showing violence, threat, humiliation, abuse and ambiguous consent. Despite occurring within a documentary context, the clips themselves were pornographic in nature and breached both sexual violence policy, and 'R18' policy on consent and abuse in sex works.

Summary Review: Best non-Leone spaghetti Western
Don't listen to any claims made made for Bullet For A General, Django is without a doubt the best non-Leone spaghetti Western of all time. Corbucci's direction is more controlled here than anywhere else--less zooms, less jarring close-ups, and neater editing. And Django has to be one of the first action heroes to fire a heavy machine gun from the hip (without even pulling the trigger, no less!).

But make no mistake. This is Italian exploitation--love it or hate it. An ear is cut off, prostitutes fight in the mud, and our hero's hands are crushed in gory detail that would make One-Eyed Jacks mumble in disgust.

Summary Review: Sadistic

Mexican outlaw Django is part of a band of thieves that steal a cargo of gold from a stagecoach. However, the Americans in the band betray him, and shoot all the Mexicans. Django is not completely dead though, and crawls his way out of his shallow grave, continuing his pursuit of the gold, and exacting a bloody vengeance.

A strange film, with a lot of sadistic violence and some homo-eroticism. Tomas Milian, plays a anti-hero character with some similarities to Christ, and turns in one of his better performances.
