• 2004 EIV R2 DVD

See article from thedigitalbits.com :

the real trouble began when the film was submitted to the MPAA for a rating. Its biggest obstacle to overcome (besides its bloody content) was the fact that it mixed dark humor with violence, which was not unlike its predecessors, but was something that the MPAA had a big problem with. Receiving an X with little to no chance of achieving anything else, the film went through many drastic re-edits, eventually receiving an R-rating. Judging from the deleted scenes that didn't make the final cut, it's fairly tame by comparison and could have potentially been a much gorier film.

See pictorial cuts details from movie-censorship.com. The following cuts were made after poor audience previews and to enable the distributors to get a US R Rating:

• Alfredo using scissors to deface pictures of girls in a porn magazine
• Various blood spattered shots are missing from a chainsaw attack on Gina by a tree
• The scene or Ryan stuck in a mantrap is missing a shot of his blooded foot and a subsequent scream
• A shot of a pen stabbed into Michelle's leg and its removal by a little girl is missing along with the subsequent maniacal laughing about the incident
• A shot of Michelle's bloodied hand nailed to a chair is gone as is a shot of a hook in Ryan's leg as he is suspended upside down. Further scenes of these victim's predicaments are also cut. As have the lines with Tex teasing Ryan: Hey, if you need anything... just twitch!; and Tex teasing Michelle: Don't ever think of leaving! Not before diner!
• Missing shots of Alfredo with a cut off leg and kissing a severed head before spitting on it and chucking it away
• The little girl's big chance for a kill has been deleted. She gets to pull the chord that releases a large hammer that swings down to hit Ryan on the head. Subsequent drinking of a cup of Ryan's blood is also trimmed
• Leatherface marking a line across Michelle's face to aim his chainsaw is missing
• Missing shots of Tinker's finger stumps and his ear on a grill and blood spattering onto Michelle
• Missing shots of gandpa being shot

The cinema release was nominally cut by the BBFC but, according to IMDb, the cinema release went out with the cuts not having been implemented.

• 2019 Shout! Factory [Uncut + US Versions] RA Blu-ray at US Amazon

• 1988 Warner VHS

The cuts were:

• When the expedition party is attacked by the thugs right after they set out on the travel, the last of the baddies is killed by a sort of death grip, apparantly punctuating his jugular vein. This is shown in both the uncut, the old US edit and the US trailer! In the UK version you merely see the guy drop to the ground.
  
• When the vampire lords later raid the village, the uncut version shows two girls being dragged out of their homes and stripped, showing their breasts. In the UK version we only see this happen to one of the girls very briefly.

From IMDb. As well as removing nearly 20mins of exposition, this version re-structures the film's narrative in order to cram a number of action scenes (some of which are shown two or three times) into the film as early as possible.

In addition to the narrative deletions:

• the opening credits sequence now unfolds against stills of scenes of the vampires which actually occur about 15 mins into the original film,
• the flashback structure of the old man avenging his daughters death by killing the 7th golden vampire has been removed and this is now simply an unexplained action sequence near the beginning of the film before Van Helsing appears, rather than contained within his lecture
• The sequence in which the high priest meets Dracula in Translyvania has been rendered incomprehensible by the deletion of over 50% of the footage (and occurs about 10-15mins into the film rather than being the first scene),
• and a lot of the dialogue in the scenes in the cave (where the good-guys rest for the night) is also missing.

• 2019 BFI [Legend of the Witches + Secret Rites] (RB) Blu-ray at UK Amazon

• 2004 Leisureview. video

Although this version was cut by the BBFC the large port of the diminished run time was to shorten the run time, mostly removing a plot line about a haunted house.

Two cuts reported. Quoted from a posting by Michael Brooke:

The BBFC's interpretation of the Child Protection Act, after a bit of uncertainty in the late 1970s, now seems pretty consistent. Nudity in itself isn't enough to justify cutting - there has to be actual sexual contact of some kind. I don't mean full intercourse or anything like that - one of the two cuts that 'Leolo' suffered was of a couple of obviously under-age children stroking a woman's breasts.

'Leolo' is an ideal case study concerning what is or isn't permissible - having seen both the uncut and cut versions, I'm amazed by what they left in! Bizarrely, shots of an obviously underage boy stuffing raw liver down the front of his trousers, lying face down on the floor and squelching up and down on top of it *doesn't* contravene the Protection of Children Act, but a far more innocent shot such as the one I described above does!

The other cut is for cat molestation.

The uncut region 1 DVD is available at US Amazon
The uncut region 1 DVD is available via UK Amazon

Review from US Amazon : Poetic Genius

Léolo is a rare work of pure poetic genius in film. It is a French-Canadian film that reminds me not only of the power of great cinema, but of the unlimited potential of the human imagination, and what it means to experience real love.

Equally enchanting and depressing, Jean-Claude Lauzon's Léolo tells the story of Léo Lauzon (Maxime Collin), a 12-year-old Montreal boy who is more comfortable living in his wild imagination than in the reality of his dysfunctional life. (He provides the voice-over narration for the film, from the perspective of an old man.) During the film one wonders, is this endearing boy slipping into schizophrenia (as mental illness afflicts his family), or does he simply prefer a life of dreams to a life obsessed with bowel movements.

In confronting themes of adolescent sexuality, mental illness, and physical and emotional abuse (all of which are a part of Léolo's life), the film contains several truly disturbing scenes (none of which seem gratuitous in the context of the film). One such scene involves the depiction of a tortured cat (sure to offend many viewers). (The scene is used to address parental concerns about their children's behaviour: which is worse, teenage smoking or acts of violence?) The soundtrack includes Tom Waits and the Rolling Stones. Not surprisingly, Time Magazine named this poignant, one-of-a-kind film one of the 100 best movies of all time. It is one of my 10 favorite films. It is a film that will haunt you.

See pictorial version details from movie-censorship.com :

The US distributors removed about 14 minutes of footage for brevity. The US Version still makes for a good film but the unabridged version is the better,

The cinema version was cut when submitted in 2004 with the following BBFC justification: Cut required to scene in which young boy holds apparently erect penis.

Les Diables, a critically well received French drama about a pair of juvenile runaways, was considered in relation to the terms of the Protection of Children Act. The film was a sensitive study of two children, one with learning disabilities, struggling on the margins of society. The film focused on their relationship, not just with the wider world, but also with each other. Several scenes suggested that the children were beginning to become sexually aware and sexually attracted to each other. The parts were played by a boy and a girl who were both under 16 at the time of filming and a few scenes involved a certain amount of nudity. The Board took legal advice about these scenes and also consulted a psychiatrist and a clinical psychologist about the psychological impact that taking part in the scenes may have had on the young persons involved. As a consequence, most of the scenes were allowed to pass but a cut was required to a scene which implied that the boy had become sexually aroused while splashing around in water with the girl. Although it was almost impossible to register at normal speed, on freeze frame it was possible to see that the boy's penis was apparently erect. In order to comply with the Protection of Children Act, the potentially indecent images showing his arousal were removed.

No DVD or video version has yet been certified

Thanks to Daniel, May 2008: Nothing Explicit

I remember the film because it was actually shown on BBC4 before it was shown theatrically in the UK, and the scene of the two underage actors splashing around in the bath prior to some apparently off screen sexual contact was intact. I remember at the time being startled by what the scene suggested, but I didn't see any sign of the explicit detail that prompted the BBFC to cut it.

• 1970 cinema release

See article from digitalspy.com :

The rough cut was screened to the band in July 1969, and in September 1969, John Lennon told the band he was leaving the group. (The Beatles announced their split in 1970.)

The documentary was made available to cinema audiences in a cut-down version with an hour shorn from the runtime.

An insider revealed what we'll never get to see: There was much more stuff of John and Yoko, and the other three didn't really think that was appropriate because they wanted to make it a 'nicer' movie. They didn't want to have a lot of the dirty laundry, so a lot of it was cut down.

After watching the edited version, Lennon said he felt that the camera work was set up to show Paul and not to show anybody else and that the people that cut it, cut it as 'Paul is God and we're just lyin' around...

IMDB adds:

There are bootleg tapes that exist of some footage not used in the final release, including a moment where Peter Sellers visits the band.

The US release is uncut and MPAA X Rated for:

The violence cut from the cinema release was restored but the film was 15 rated

• 1971 cinema release

From IMDb:

MGM had acquired the United Kingdom release rights in the movie and were intent on releasing it in Britain as their major Christmas film for all the family.

Unfortunately the BBFC would only grant the film an X certificate, barring all under sixteen years of age from seeing it. What MGM had perceived as a jolly action romp was deemed by the UK censors to be an excessively violent film suitable only for adults.

In tandem with the censors MGM made extensive cuts, but still the censors would only grant an A certificate, meaning that children could only be admitted to see the film if accompanied by an adult.

Virtually all of the graphic violence in the original film was excised and the British release of the movie was not a success.

The Wim Wenders Definitive Version as was passed uncut for the AA rated 1981 cinema release, 15 rated Anchor Bay DVD and 15 rated Axiom DVD.

From version details on IMDb :

After Nicholas Ray died, Wenders was too depressed to help edit the film, so he left it to his friend Peter Przygodda. Przygodda spent a year working on it and this was the 116-minute version shown at the Cannes Film Festival. Wenders however, was disturbed by this version and found it depressing and obscure. He spent three months with Chris Sievernich re-editing the film. Aside from cutting more than 25 minutes, he added more footage of Susan as well as his narration of Ray's diary. This is the 91-minute definitive version of the movie.

Distributor chose to remove sight of dangerous activity which might be copied by young children (child character emerging from a hiding place inside a washing machine or tumble drier) in order to achieve a U. A 12 uncut was available to the distributor.

The producers reworked the cartoon so that the dryer was converted to a wooden cupboard.

A dubbed English language version must have existed at some point, possibly with more nudity in it. The Spanish language version that is around these days does bear all the traces of being a clothed version of the film, prepared for the censorious climate of 1970s Spain. Meaning the Mummy might get away with rape, flagellation and branding women in this version, but he remains gentlemanly enough to only strip them down to their bloomers while doing so. Of course if you have a thing for hysterical women wearing bloomers, that not even Mrs Slocombe's antics in Are You Being Served can satisfy, this is the version for you. For everyone else...well as no other version of this film has ever re-surfaced...its bloomers for the rest of us as well!!!

The BBFC cuts were to the controversial scene of sexual assault.

From Imdb. When the film was first shown on ITV the entire rape sequence was presented as a series of stills.

• 1976 cinema release

From IMDb.

The film attracted a great deal of controversy at the time of release on account of the graphic nature of the rape scene. Lamont Johnson intended with the rape scene to almost make the audience feel that they were being subjected to the ordeal themselves. Unfortunately, many groups, mainly feminist ones, felt that he was merely exploiting the situation and his lead actress.

Sound has also been rebuilt and mixed in Dolby 5.1. The theatrical version has also been re-mastered.

Cut by 3s when submitted in 2008 with the following BBFC comment:

The distributor chose to cut two uses of the term 'spaz' in order to achieve a 'U' classification. A '12' without cuts was available to the distributor.

The term alluding to spastic was removed from the line: If I was wearing the most kickin' outfit but my shoes made me look like a spaz, you'd tell me, right?.
