From IMDb:
In the Unrated Version, the puppet sex scene is extended. It now contains shots of Gary performing oral sex on Lisa from behind and two separate shots of them urinating/defecating on each other, all of which had to be cut to secure an R-Rating.
For the most part only scenes showing Michelangelo use his nunchucks were edited or removed.
Furthermore, dialogues were edited to turn the word ninja into hero. Sometimes complete scenes are missing due to the use of that infamous word!
In addition to that, sound effects were added in fighting scenes to make them sound funnier and less scary.
Additionally, the BBC version of the show changed all uses of the term bummer (meaning bad luck'), due to concerns over the term having a homophobic meaning in British slang.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie is a 1990 USA/Hong Kong chidlren's action comedy by Steve Barron. With Judith Hoag, Elias Koteas and Josh Pais.
Ludicrously cut by the BBFC in 1990-91. Uncut since 2003. Uncut in the US

UK: The cut cinema version was passed PG without further BBFC cuts for:
1991 Virgin VHS
The video is further cut to the cinema version but this seems down to a different implementation of the same BBFC cuts list:
Michelangelo is on the phone ordering a pizza when Splinter is giving the turtles advice. When Splinter hears that he is not listening and is on the phone he throws a book at him and shouts Michelangelo. For some completely stupid reason the scene
was now missing the book throwing which by the way was the tamest throwing of a book I have ever seen. Also missing was some of Michelangelo's dialogue when he orders the pizza due to the fact you can clearly see his nunchaku as he is spinning them.

91:38s =87:58s
UK: Passed PG after 1:51s of BBFC cuts for:
1990 cinema release
The official BBFC cut time given is 1:51 seconds but there seems to be more footage changed than 1:51s via reframing and separate angles. The distributors probably re-edited more than required to implement the BBFC cuts
Thanks to Byron. The BBFC
cuts were:
First of all the nunchaku in this film are real, well rubber props but they are not sausages that happens in Turtles 2. Timings are approximate
At 17:49s. April is on TV interviewing the police chief and the turtles are watching. In the uncut version we see Leo, Don and Mike in front of the set watching and you can see Mike's nunchaku on his back barely he then kisses
the screen when April comes on. 7 seconds of reframing where instead of seeing them sat down as soon as Mike sits down the picture zooms into the TV so all we can see is the TV with April on. This shot is also missing Mike kissing the screen we just
hear the sound.
2s. Mikes shell is blacked out when a shot from behind shows his nunchaku in his belt. In the same scene another second is cut when Mike is introduced as it is reframed to avoid seeing his nunchaku.
2s cut. More reframing is used to prevent you seeing mikes nunchaku in his belt when conversing with April about frozen pizza. The idea seems to be cut the nunchaku on sight even if you need slow motion to see them.
3 seconds are gone again when Mike's back is darkened again when he is talking to April.
20s cuts in the following scene where April is eating pizza with the turtles to hide the slight glimpse of the nunchaku in his
belt. Next is his Cagney impression which is missing a shot from behind.
3s reframing when Splinter is kidnapped.
When the Shedder is making his entrance and is about to address
the foot there are 6 seconds of substitutions. In the uncut one when the red carpet is being rolled out for him you can see the foot solders in a line armed with sticks and the nunchaku. In the UK version we get to see the kids in the crowd above chewing
gum and looking board. This is the cheap kind of censorship SKY 1 does in the day with wrestling putting pointless crowd shots in to cover up things.
When the turtles are watching April on TV again Raphael and
Leonardo start to argue. 3s are cut here as when Mike gets up to go to the kitchen you can see the nunchaku in his belt at the side.
More reframing as Mike and Don watch a Tortoise and Hare cartoon by 8s.
One of the longest cuts is more obvious. Its the movies first big fight scene and Raph has just been thrown though the skylight and a big fight with loads of Foot soldiers. 1s is substituted when one of the foot solders who has
jumped though is armed with nunchaku. A nunchaku contest occuring between the foot solder and Mike is removed, 48s, A very funny scene leaving the UK version to look really stupid. More reframing cuts appear though out the fight every time Mike hits
anyone with his nunchaku or can be seen with his nunchaku in the slightest. Also Don's joke with him about them not being game show fans is cut. This is due to Mike's nunchaku being in shot and also misses Mike's line about everyone liking the USA
versions letter turner Vanna White. A another cut is when a foot solder tries to chop up Mike with an axe while he is still on the floor. The axe chops are there but the picture is reframed so as not to see the forbidden nunchaku in Mike's hand. Next
more cuts when more foot solders drop though the skylight causing the floor to give in and then as the turtles get up after landing in the basement. The scene ends when Aprils apartment sets on fire and brings to an end a cutting spree that including the
nunchaku contest was cut by 1:27s.
Not a cut but an interesting line by Tatsu Shedders minion. He says in all versions of the film "kurso" when Shedder is angry at him which I am sure is Japanese for shit.
Cuts when Casey Jones and April retreat to Aprils farm in the country. 3s of Mike's nunchuka whilst punching a punch bag in a barn. 8s of Mike using his nunchaku in training. The next cut is pathetic and is one to a
bit of blatant advertising for turtle wax. April is being given a shoulder massage by Casey after she appears in pain in a scene that starts their romance. As soon as he starts the massage in the UK version it cuts to the next scene and misses a comic
scene of 24s for no apparent reason.
Another cut occurs when Mike and Don attempt to eat some leftover pizza. In the UK version when Danny says they might be some leftover pizza Mike gets excited then it cuts to the
next scene missing 17s of Mike and Don inspecting the pizza and asking". The only conclusion is that the BBFC didn't get the joke about penicillin.
The next cuts occur during the final fight of the movie. The
turtles use the hot steam from the sewer pipes to burn the foot solders a shot of a foot solder getting sprayed in the face is cut this is 2s. Then a shot from over head of all 4 turtles over the bodies of the foot soldier is cut as it shows Mike 2s of
spinning his nunchaku. A 13s cut occurs to April helping Mike take out some foot solders from on top of a pipe with a stick and to him whacking some foot solders with his nunchaku. When Mike and Don are fighting foot solders back to back doing bad jokes
2 seconds are cut to remove sight of nunchaku and the line by Mike of goes with it also the sequence is reframed so you cant see Mike is hitting foot solders with his nunchaku . Then after the famous trailer line by Mike of "god I love being a turtle" 1s
is cut to stop you seeing Mike hold up his nunchaku and laugh. On the roof 1s is cut from a exchange between Mike and a nunchaku welding foot solder.
The following cuts are disgusting as they change the end of the
movie and ruin the final fight with Shedder. This fight is cut badly and looks crap due to the cuts. Mike and Don do rock, paper , scissors to see who goes next. Mike loses then spins his nunchaku and goes for Shedder then it cuts to the next scene. So
9s cut. Then when the action starts again on the roof 1s is cut to stop you seeing Mike spinning his nunchaku in the air as the turtles run towards Shedder. 5 seconds are cut next showing Mike fighting the Shedder and getting knocked over. This is
annoying as Mike is made out to be an idiot in the cut version who doesn't fight Shedder or anyone else. Now comes a crucial cut that alters the ending. Leo charges at Shedder and is brought down. Shedder then puts his blade to Leo's throat and tells the
Turtles to get rid of their weapons. They throw them off the roof but then a 1s cut occurs cutting out Mike's nunchaku getting caught on the ladder rung. This is a plot point for later that is missing from the UK version. Now Splinter arrives and Shedder
takes his mask off revealing his scars from Splinter In the UK version as he charges at him 19s are cut. These are of Splinter using the nunchaku of Mike's from the ladder rung to wrap around the Shedder's blade who he then slings over the edge. He then
holds him there dangling but Shedder has reached a knife which he then throws at him which he catches but in doing so the nunchaku wrapped around the blade unravels dropping Shedder to his doom. Then Splinter finishes his sentence from before "Without
honour". The UK skips all this and makes it out that Splinter simply grabbed the blade and slung him over the edge where he simply dropped to his doom with out no tense dangling or final attack or dialogue from Splinter. However the fall in the UK
version is from one single angle rather than 3 different ones. This cut really ruins the end of the film and lessons the danger to Splinter and the danger of Shedder. So the total movie cuts are of around 5 mins 28 secs. The BBFC should put an
apology up before every screening of the new uncut version as they really made a right mess with this back in 1990.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze is a 1991 USA/Hong Kong family action comedy by Michael Pressman. With Paige Turco, David Warner and Michelan Sisti.

Michelangelo waves nunchukas in front of armed gangsters but turn out to be sausages on close inspection
Pizza delivery boy finds Mike's nunchukas. April waves them around amateurishly but this all too much for the censors.
From the BBFC case study. The BBFC were aware of the dangers of being made to look silly over being spotted cutting sausages:
However, BBFC Examiners also realised there was potentially a problem with some of the
violence, in particular the use of improvised props resembling chainsticks or nunchaku:
In the credits sequence in Reel 1, chainsticks are wielded (or seem to be) after a shot of sausages hanging from the butcher's
rail. Since there is real confusion between chainsticks and sausages this sequence needs to be carefully checked before cuts (if any) are listed. Ditto a sequence in Reel 2, where April tries out a pair of chainsticks; could they be sausages? If so, we
would look pretty foolish (right Charlies, in fact) if we cut them!

Summary Review: A harrowing experience
Wayward and uninhibited young runaway Kim has fallen in with a bad crowd. Kim decides to flee said crowd and goes to the west coast to reunite herself with her uptight sister Hilary so
she can collect some of the family inheritance. However, evil drug dealer Maury and his flock follow Kim to Hilary's house.
it is a rather unsettling look at clashing life styles in America, here depicted violently for the
exploitation fans. It still carries a wallop.
All hell breaks loose when Kim (Alisha Fontaine) arrives on her sister's mansion doorstep. The Film becomes a harrowing experience with the arrival of Manson-esque cult/gang leader
Maury.

Summary Review: Underground
The story of a day in the life of a lonely, sensitive, exuberant, attractive, young woman. Her exploits, encounters, and
frustrations as she attempts to find a special someone, a caller who has class , as she puts it.
Funny, near brilliant, underground movie about the sexual perversions of everyday people. A terrific example of grass roots

Summary Review: Low-budget Masterpiece
In Los Angeles, the rookie Detective Paul McAnn teams up with the veteran Detective Leo Kessler to

Kessler.
Another Tight, Low-budget Masterpiece from Bronson/Thompson,
Compared with the ridiculously shoddy Death Wish sequels, most of Charles Bronson's 1980s collaborations with J. Lee Thompson are
masterpieces. In fact, even with the high ratio of bad actors and technical shortcomings, films like Evil That Men Do and this one, 10 to Midnight, kick modern hardboilers right in the balls.

v Tenebrae - 1982 Italy horror mystery thriller by Dario Argento.
Tenebrae is a 1982 Italy horror mystery thriller by Dario Argento. With Anthony Franciosa, Giuliano Gemma and Christian Borromeo.
Cut by the BBFC by 4s for cinema release. This cut version was then banned on VHS as a video nasty. The film was then cut for 2000 VHS. These BBFC cuts were waived in 2003 but the release suffered print damage. However a fully uncut
version was released on UK DVD and Blu-ray in 2003. There is also a shortened US Version entitled Unsane.
Summary Review : Gore filled giallo
Tenebrae is a thriller about a
writer of thrillers who, whilst on a promotional tour in Italy for his new book (...also called Tenebrae), finds himself the focus of a deranged serial killer, who is offing his victims according to the grisly murders found in the very same author's
work.
Argento has a great deal of fun in devising these bizarre scenes and scenarios, whilst simultaneously orchestrating this grandiose, gore-filled Giallo with a bold approach to cinematography, montage and music.
As with a lot of Argento's work, the performances aren't all peerless, although, that said, there's some admirable moments, particularly from Anthony Franciosa as the author, Peter Neal, Argento's former muse Daria Nicolodi as
his assistant Ann, and b-movie stalwart John Saxon as Neal's publisher.
The ending of the film is a satisfying one that is sure to delight those familiar with his previous works.
The pre-cut footage is missing from many international prints and is due to damage to the master:
Ann walking to the sideboard and putting down her books
The last stab of a woman being repeatedly stabbed in her stomach
The end of a scene showing Jane looking at new shoes followed by the

Review from
Amazon US In some ways the story does ramble, but the intricate elements are woven together so coherently that they smoothly fit
into the quest undertaken by the principal characters.
Virginia and Tony Lewis (Kimberly Williams and John Larroquette) live in a New York apartment. One day a dog enters Virginia's life. However, the dog is not just any ordinary dog, but Prince
Wendell (Daniel Lapaine) changed into a dog by an evil Queen (Dianne Wiest). Soon trolls enter the story along with magic, and the story begins.
The acting talent in this movie is phenomenal. Rutger Hauer plays the Queen's woodsman, with his own
poignant story. Warwick Davis is Acorn, a criminal with a tongue-in-cheek character. Ed O'Neil is perfect as Relish the Troll King. Scott Cohen as Wolf took a little getting used to, but once I realized how he fit into the story I enjoyed his antics and
characterization. Camryn Manheim makes an interesting Snow White. Ann-Margret brings class to Queen Cinderella.
The story is an adult fairy tale. There is violence in the movie as well as a number of intense scenes that are likely inappropriate for
children below the age of 7 or 8. However, for everyone else this movie is fun and complicated. If you enjoy fantasy, and you can be open-minded about how fantasy is approached, this movie could be perfect for you.

This is one of the first few films where a higher rated version was made available. The BBFC argued at the time that if the marketing of a film is aimed at the original certificate, ie the 15, then children of that age group will want to watch it
regardless of the certificate awarded.
Guild Home Video also managed to sneak the film out uncut on VHS - in full screen - in November 1993, when they released it along with The Terminator on a special 2-On-1 extended play VHS. This
version appears to have not been classified officially by the BBFC.

As Sarah escapes from hospital, edits were made to reduce the 4 blows she delivered to the male nurse/security guard with the wooden broom handle. The 4 blows were reduced to 1.
Later in the same sequence, Sarah confronts a doctor in his
office. The original had Sarah hitting the doctor on the arm with the bat, she then swipes him on the back of the leg to make him collapse, all that remains is the hit on the arm.
The BBFC asked for 18s of additional cuts:
Further cuts are required for the '15 requested on Video, mostly to reduce moments of heavy violence, many by the Terminator hero to innocent people who are merely doing their job:
At 74 min. Reduce the length of time man thrown through window is burned on the griddle by removing two sections, the beginning of the shot where he lauds on the stove and the link to the next shot before he rolls off.
Immediately afterwards, when man tries to stab Terminator through chest, reduce sight of Terminator pinning him to billiard table by removing impact shot of him being stabbed through back of shoulder, resuming on his face
pressed against table with hilt just vib1e top of screen.
At 45 mins. Reduce demonstration of lock picking by Sarah by removing start of shot where wires are inserted.
At 46.5
mins. When Terminator 2 stabs hospital guard through eye at coffee machine, replace frontal shot of victim with spear through eye with alternative take in which he is not juddering so vigorously as to be clearly still in pain.
At 49.5 mins. Reduce Terminator's shooting of security guard at hospital gate to one shot only.
At 53.5 mins. When Terminator breaks up group of male nurses about to inject Sarah, after third
man is hit in stomach with rifle and pushed aside, remove sight of him hitting wall very hard and bouncing off, resuming on female nurse moving in to hit Terminator.
At 55.5 mins. When Terminator throws policeman
away from police car, remove sight of him hitting pillar hard and bouncing off, resuming on metal shape coming through ceiling.
At 99 mins. When Terminator emerges from lift to see S.W.A.T. team waiting in lobby,
considerably reduce close impact shots as he shoots them in the legs to disable them.

Later in the same sequence, Sarah confronts a doctor in his

The BBFC previously saw the film as a rough cut and suggested other cuts including:
When Schwarzenegger arrives at the prison hospital to rescue Sarah and shoots the guard at the entrance gate, remove the close shots showing bullet impacts around his knees.
Close ups such as this are not really part of Cameron's repertoire and were described as very brief by an examiner. However they seemed to be part of a plot element where young John had asked the Terminator to aim low to reduce likely deaths. The
kneecapping shots were the follow up to John's request.
By the time was formally submitted these close shots seemed to have been dropped, perhaps replaced by the longer shots which were not an issue for the BBFC

The BBFC put the triviality of the nudity cut in good perspective:
Terminator Salvation is the fourth instalment in the Terminator franchise and sees a grown-up John Connor leading the human resistance
movement. It has been passed 12 for scenes of moderate violence and intense action.
The setting of the narrative in this film is an all-out war between the human resistance movement and Skynet with its army of
Terminators. There are some spectacular battle sequences with heavy explosions and gunfire which include sight of many robots being destroyed, including a close-up shot of a robotic head being crushed by a helicopter. This sets the tone for much of the
violence in the film. Most of the damage and injury is caused to the robotic characters while the human characters generally emerge unscathed. There is some injury detail seen, to the Connor character in particular, but these sequences do not dwell on
detail and do not contain any emphasis on injuries or blood. For the most part the injuries are impressionistic and the fantasy setting is always well to the fore. Given this approach to the depiction of violence the film is contained at 12 under
the terms of the Guidelines for violence at that level.
The film as a whole does have an unrelenting intensity which is a well established feature of fantasy films at the 12 level but the tone is comparatively light
and plays very much to audience expectations for the genre. There is none of the darker, sadistic, elements that occasionally take such works to the higher category. Mature themes and sustained moderate threat and menace are allowed at 12
in the Guidelines and these are all elements that contributed to placing Terminator Salvation at 12 .
The extended version of the film also contains a scene featuring brief sexualised nudity as we see a
woman remove her top, revealing one of her breasts. This is only seen from considerable distance and there is no clear or sustained nudity present within a sexual context. At 12 , the BBFC Guidelines state that in a sexual context nudity must be
brief and discreet and this sequence in Terminator Salvation falls within those limits.

A creepy atmospheric offering from Roger Corman that

Summary Review : Logical, comprehensible story line
Royal ancestors feel the wrath of the curse
of the condemned witch Mad Dolly, who spews forth her prophecy while she is burned at the stake. This entire scene is then revealed to be the ending of a horror film, and the filmmaker claims that the story is based upon true events from his own family
history. Naturally, there is skepticism. But at a wrap party later that evening, the filmmaker's cousin falls into a trance and attacks him with a sword...and he and his cousin begin to worry that the family curse just might be real after all.
Terror has a fair amount of female nudity and gore. But this film also has a logical, comprehensible story line that is bolstered by strong performances and able directing, and exceptional production design and cinematography.

A Boston police detective investigates a series
of gruesome decapitations of various college coeds committed by a helmeted, black-leather clad serial killer which leads him to suspect a well known anthropology professor as well as his female live-in assistant.
A slasher
flick with more action than horror. But the acting is above par as are the overall production values, and there isn't a lot of padding. There's also something of a story complete with characterization.
One could certainly
do (much) worse in picking a slasher film from this era.

Summary Review: Funny
Terror Firma is an independent film made
by Troma, one of the last (if not THE last) small time movie companies left in the United States. You should purchase this movie if for no other reason than to support independent film. But once you do buy it, what will you get? An incredibly funny, very
violent, and fairly titillating movie.
I was talked into watching this movie by an acquaintance. Never having seen a Troma film, I wasn't sure what to expect. I thought it would be a low budget slasher flick with lots of
fake blood. I was mostly wrong. It turned out to be a very funny and interesting satire on the movie industry, movie making, and society in general. (While also being a slasher flick with lots of fake blood.) I haven't laughed as much at a movie in
years.
As for the acting, while most of the actors will never utter the words I'd like to thank the Academy, the female lead, Alyce LaTourelle, was simply excellent. I was surprised to see someone with as much
talent in a low budget picture like this one. She is destined for bigger pictures, but not necessarily better ones.

There are now censorship cuts for this version. Primarily, the US edit
attempts to make the film more concise by trimming some scenes . While many scenes are atmospheric, there were moments where the camera lingered a bit longer than necessary. For example, a lengthy shot in the finale where a character climbs a wall
slowly. In such cases, the shot was cut to a normal duration, and it benefits the film. Unfortunately, some interesting scenes involving both the protagonist portrayed by Robert Flemyng and Steele were also lost to the editing scissors.

The BBFC explained:
Terrorists, Killers and Other Wackos comprises a compilation of uncontextualised clips showing real killings, executions, suicides,
accidents, mutilation and torture (of both humans and animals) and other distressing images. The work presents no journalistic, educational or other justifying context for the images shown. Rather, the work presents a barrage of sensationalist clips, for
what appears to be the underlying purpose of providing prurient entertainment. This is reinforced by the addition of a loud music soundtrack, which further trivialises the images shown. The trivialisation of human and animal suffering is further
exemplified by the tasteless inclusion of occasional 'comic' captions. The work also contains a disturbing and distasteful undercurrent of racism and xenophobia. A significant amount of the material is taken from certain recurring geographic locations
and could provide fuel for forms of racism which are hostile to non-white people.
The Board carefully considered the work in the light of our Guidelines and the tests set down by the Video Recordings Act. A key consideration is the question of
any harm that might be caused to potential viewers or, through their behaviour, to society because of the manner in which the work deals with violence and "horrific behaviour or incidents". The Board has concluded that the video is potentially harmful
because of the influence it may have on the attitudes and behaviour of at least some intended or potential viewers. By presenting actual human death, mutilation and suffering as entertainment, the work has the potential to desensitise viewers, and
perhaps even to incite some to harm others. The work invites the viewer to take sadistic pleasure in death, injury, mutilation and pain and encourages callousness towards victims. Given the rapid-paced editing, the addition of inappropriate music and
supposedly 'amusing' captions, the work appears calculated to appeal to young and impressionable persons (whatever its classification). The Board considers that the work may have a significant brutalising effect on their attitude to human life and pain.
Given the potential for the work to deaden the sensitivity of viewers to pain and suffering and to impair the moral development of younger viewers in particular, the Board also considers that the work raises serious concerns about possible breach
of the Obscene Publications Act. This Act makes it an offence to distribute any work that, taken as a whole, has a tendency to deprave and corrupt (i.e. make morally bad) a significant proportion of those likely to see it.
A further consideration
for the Board is that of public acceptability. (This is the ground on which, for instance, the Board has regard to issues of bad language.) In this case the combination of the shocking and distressing images in the work, the lack of any justifying
context, the editorial treatment, and the calculated appeal to the intended audience, all appear to the Board to raise serious concerns about the acceptability of the work to public opinion. Taken together with the harm issues, and potential breach of
the law, these concerns about acceptability strengthen the basis for refusal of classification.
The Board considered whether cutting the work would be a viable alternative to refusing a classification certificate. However, the essential
difficultly with Terrorists, Killers and Other Wackos lies not so much with any particular images (most of which would have been acceptable in a different, more serious, context) but with the manner in which the images are presented, and with the
underlying, exploitative purpose of the work. Cuts would therefore be unlikely to modify the tone and overall effect of the work acceptably.

Summary Review: Tough Anti-hero
Tough gun-man Burt Sullivan (Franco Nero) leaves his job as a town sheriff to go to Mexico to find the man, Cisco, who killed his father many years ago. He and his younger brother arrive in a small town where everybody
is afraid of Cisco who has become the local landowner. Burt Sullivan joins forces with the local townspeople to stop and bring Cisco back to his punishment in Texas
It's a typical Spaghetti Western in which blends the common
scenarios; as invincible and tough antiheroes, difficult and fast showdowns with numerous deceases , impulsive and quick zooms , musical score with Morricone influence .
The film will appeal to Franco Nero fans and Spaghetti
Western buffs.

The Texas
Chain Saw Massacre is a 1974 US horror film by Tobe Hooper. With Marilyn Burns, Edwin Neal and Allen Danziger.
In the US the film was initially rated X, but attained an R rating after
cuts. This was the last X certificate granted by the MPAA prior to the introduction of NC-17. The R rated version has been used for all releases worldwide. In the UK, the 1975 cinema release was famously pre-cut but banned by the BBFC. Some local
councils overrode the BBFC ban and passed it X with a local certificate. The ban continued well into the home video era, until unbanned (and released uncut) in 1999.
Tobe Hooper deliberately limited the on-screen gore in The Texas
Chainsaw Massacre, to the extent that he expected a PG certificate. Partly, that was due to an artistic choice, but there was also financial pressure limiting the amount of effects work the production could carry out.
Summary Review:
Classic of its generation
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is undoubtedly one of the scariest films ever made and its raw power remains undiminished to this very day. Tobe Hooper somehow created a genuine fright
machine which changed the face of the horror genre completely.
The story revolves around a group of teenagers being chased, terrified and murdered when they stumble upon a canabilistic family in the countryside. The main
character, Leatherface, who's remorseless killings were loosely based on real life 1950's Texan murderer Ed Gein.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a classic of its generation and deserves to be part of any respectable
film collection. Just don't watch it alone.
UK: The R rated version was passed 18 without cuts by Camden Council in London for:
Camden 1998 cinema release.
It was given a late night screening at the 1998 London Film Festival and then ran successfully in Camden at the beginning of 1999.
At around this time, the BBFC was once again asked to
consider cuts for a legitimate video release but failed to see how an acceptable version could be produced. The film therefore fell into limbo and was removed from the shelves following the introduction of the Video Recordings Act.

Hooper reportedly hoped that the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) would give the complete, uncut release print a PG rating due to its minimal amount of visible gore. Instead, it was originally rated X . After
several minutes were cut, it was resubmitted to the MPAA and received an R rating.
This was the last X certificate granted by the MPAA prior to the introduction of NC-17.
The notoriety of the film may owe a lot to its original rejection by the BBFC in 1975. It was passed for viewing in Europe, the USA, Australia and other countries. It received a GLC licence in the 1970s and was
most recently shown in central London in 1998 under a licence from Camden Council. There is, so far as the Board is aware, no evidence that harm has ever arisen as a consequence of viewing the film. For modern young adults, accustomed to the macabre
shocks of horror films through the 1980s and 1990s, THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE is unlikely to be particularly challenging. Unlike more recent examples of the genre, violence in THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE is throughout implied rather than explicit.
By today's standards, its visual effects may seem relatively unconvincing.
Possibly the most notorious feature is the relentless pursuit of the 'Final Girl' throughout the last half hour or so of the film. The heroine in
peril is a staple of the cinema since the earliest days. It is nonetheless legitimate to question the unusual emphasis THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE places on the pursuit of a defenceless and screaming female over such an extended period. The Board's
conclusion, after careful consideration, was that any possible harm that might arise in terms of the effect upon a modern audience would be more than sufficiently countered by the unrealistic, even absurd, nature of the action itself. It is worth
emphasising that there is no explicit sexual element in the film, and relatively little visible violence.

UK: A pre-cut version was famously banned by the BBFC for:

Hooper's seminal horror film was first seen informally by the BBFC's Secretary, Stephen Murphy, on 27 February 1975. Murphy regarded it as a good, well-made film but felt strongly that the level of terrorisation, particularly towards the end of the film,
and the film's focus on abnormal psychology was unsuitable for a BBFC X certificate to be issued. The distributor reacted to this advice by making some minor reductions in the final scenes of terrorisation, formally submitting a slightly
truncated version on 12 March 1975.
The ban persisted until 1999. An official BBFC comment from their website just before the granting of the cinema certificate in 1999 read:
Most questions about THE TEXAS CHAINSAW
MASSACRE (and sequels) assume that the problem is one of violence or horror. In fact the reason that the film was refused certification was the result of the perceived degree of terrorisation of women and threat to defenceless women. The Board has for
many years operated a very strict policy with regard to sexual violence, based on the incidence of this sort of behaviour in real life and the fact that a great deal of research does indicate that this is the one area where media representations do seem
to have quite direct effects on attitudes and behaviour. The film was rejected by the Board on film and is most unlikely to be classified on video, where the law demands a stricter test, under amendments to the Video Recording Act 1984 contained in the
Criminal Justice & Public Order Act 1994.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 is a 1986 US horror by Tobe Hooper. With Dennis Hopper, Caroline Williams and Jim Siedow.
Unofficially banned by the BBFC from 1986 to 2001. Then released 18 uncut.
Uncut and MPAA Unrated in the US. The film was also banned for a time in Canada, Australia and Sweden.
Summary Review: Dennis Hopper, a joy to watch
Dennis Hopper plays a Texas Ranger, Lefty, who's
bent on revenge and wants compensation in blood for the murder of his brother's children (from the original movie). The results all lead up to a terribly disturbing and disgusting slasher flick that you won't forget (even if you want to).
What really makes the movie work is Dennis Hopper. He is usually a joy to watch in any movie, and this one is no exception.
The sequel is much more disgusting and violent than the original, but isn't
really as shocking. Still, it is a pretty enjoyable flick if you're in the right mood and take it for what it is.

material. with repeated warnings that under 17s would be banned.
From IMDb. A US special edition includes some footage originally shot for the movie but not included in the theatrical version. This rough footage has dialogue but no music or sound
effects and the video quality is atrocious. The scenes include:
Lefty Enright (Dennis Hopper) strapping two chainsaws to himself with leather belts just outside the Sawyer family's hideout. He then sees the family's truck arriving and entering the underground cave.
A group of rioting football fans smash
some cars in an underground parking lot. The chainsaw family arrives and proceeds to make mincemeat of all of them. Highlights include Leatherface slicing a guy's head in half and cutting off the hand of another (the severed hand then falls to the
ground and gives Leatherface the finger!)
A guy (Joe Bob Briggs) descending a staircase to the garage together with two women and talking about splatter movie special effects. After he opens a door, Leatherface barges in and slaughters him
(off-screen).
An alternate take of the scene where Stretch is hiding in the meat room and Leatherface comes in to butcher L.G. and remove his face.

unofficially banned
UK: The film was unavailable in the UK for 15 years from 1986 - 2001, due to BBFC censorship.
The film was submitted to the BBFC by Cannon and the result was 22 minutes of required cuts. The cuts were
to the opening sequence with Leatherface and the woman with the chainsaw between her legs. Other cuts to gore were also required. The distributors weren't interested and the submission was dropped without formal publication. The unviable amount of cuts
offered has generally been considered as an unofficial BBFC ban.
Thanks to Scott who explained further:
I've been researching The Texas Chainsaw Massacre II's history with the BBFC. I've found in a book called The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Companion , by Stefan Jaworzyn. Here's what I've learnt from the book:
The film was
submitted to the BBFC by Columbia-Cannon-Warner (CCW) in 1986. The Board viewed the uncut film three times. Even after the third viewing, on October 23rd 1986, they still couldn't decide whether to cut heavily or outright Reject.
The distributors then submitted a pre-cut version, known as the
"Northern European Cannon Cut" . The technical manager of CCW, Steve Southgate, wrote to the BBFC on October 29th to detail some of the cuts to this version:
"The opening scene with the boys in a car, when they are attacked, now only consists of one shot of an open head wound."
"Scene in radio station where L.G. is being hit on his head with a
hammer now has been reduced to only three blows. (The scene with the girl sitting with her legs astride with Leather Face in front of her with chainsaw remains the same.)"
"The scene with Dennis Hopper going into the
underground cabin for the first time, where he discovers blood and entrails coming out of a wall has been shortened."
"The complete scene where Leather Face uses an electric knife on L.G. removing flesh from legs,
chest and face has been removed, and also Leather Face placing skin mask on girl's face has been removed."
The scene where Leather Face has chainsaw put through his chest has been shortened to establishing shot only. The
scene with Chop-Top cutting his throat has been shortened. The scene with Chop-Top slashing girls back with cutthroat razor has been reduced.
Despite the heavy pre-cuts, this still failed to get through.
By May 21st 1987, numerous cut versions had been attempted, and all had failed, yet the BBFC felt it was worth cutting further. At this point, the
distributors gave up.

Summary Notes
Driving
through the backwoods of Texas, five youths pick up a traumatized hitchhiker, who shoots herself in their van. Shaken by the suicide, the group seeks help from the locals, but their situation becomes even more surreal when they knock on the door of a
remote homestead. It's quickly apparent the residents are a family of inbred psychopaths, and the unlucky youths suddenly find themselves running for their lives. In hot pursuit is a disfigured, chainsaw-wielding cannibal known as Leatherface.
The UK Blu-ray was described as the Director's Cut in marketing material but there seems nothing to back up the claim, and it looks likely to be the standard version.
The hitchhiker death scene was also cut severely. The original scene has her ear flying off of her head and blood and brain matter being more dark in color and more in amount flying out of her head.
the more graphic shots of Morgan's death
were cut. The original version of the scene featured the shot of the chainsaw slicing into his crotch and then having intestines and blood falling out of him. The cut version cuts away when the chainsaw is about to cut him and totally cuts out the
intestines falling from his body.
This cut R Rated Version has been used for all known releases and is the best available. The cut scenes have been released as disk extras.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning is a 2006 US horror by Jonathan Liebesman. With Jordana Brewster, Matt Bomer and Diora Baird.
Cut in the US for an R rated theatrical release. There is an uncut Unrated version and both versions are found on home video. No BBFC cuts.
Summary Review: Highly Worthy
On one last
road trip before they're sent to serve in Vietnam, two brothers and their girlfriends get into an accident that calls their local sheriff to the scene. Thus begins a terrifying experience where the teens are taken to a secluded house of horrors, where a
young, would-be killer is being nurtured.
Appropriately gory and no-holds barred, Jonathan Liebesman creates a tight, slick and sadistic thriller in the eyes of Chrissie as she endlessly attempts to rescue her friends from a
demented madman's clutches. This is a highly worthy and satisfying entry in the horror series that will make an indelible mark on your imagination.

Thanks to Andrew. The Unrated Version was premiered as an exclusive release on digital download from 30th April 2013.
It initially had an NC-17 rating so we recut the movie and it got an R rating. There are certainly some gory elements but I also think there is quite some
suspense in the movie. I think in America it's very easy to get an R rating for violence and blood scenes. There are plenty of those but there are also moments where it is just scary with a suspense build up so I hope some of those scenes are going to
stand out, not just the gory scenes.
Having seen the unrated version, which clocks in at 92 minutes (incidentally, the same runtime as the theatrical cut), I
can tell you that the differences are minimal. We're talking a few frames cut from a couple of the movie's kill scenes, especially the final meat grinder kill. Yep. No biggie here.
