TNT Jackson is a 1974 US/Philippines action film by Cirio H Santiago With Jeannie Bell, Chiquito and Stan Shaw.
Cut by the BBFC for VHS. Uncut on UK DVD and in the US
Summary Review: Topless kung-fu
Jeannie Bell is TNT Jackson! She's on the trail of the scum-suckin' pigs who killed her
brother! Watch out! TNT's not just beautiful, she's a martial arts master with vengeance on her mind!
Yes, this movie does contain our heroine's topless kung-fu battle! There is a nice butterfly-knife sequence that was
presumably cut by UK censor and enough nudity and charm to make things bearable. Not bad...

Cut by the BBFC for 1991 VHS. Uncut and R18+ rated in Australia. There seem

Promotional Material
Four years before Romper Stomper seized the attention of Australian audiences in a flurry of controversy, Karl
Zwicky and P.J. Hogan executed an intense thriller that according to David Stratton is a terrifyingly nasty film... the more terrifying because it is so believable.
To Make a Killing (aka Vicious) is a harrowing
exploration of inner suburban crime, a dark world where it is difficult to tell your friends from your enemies. What starts as a burglary soon turns into a killing spree. ...
UK: Passed 18 after 9s (some substitution) of BBFC compulsory cuts for:
1991 Oasis Pictures VHS
Thanks to Gary for his comments and the BBFC cuts:
[ Spoilers! hover or click text ]
At 47˝ mins When gangleader Terry is given drink by woman, restore the overcut exchange of looks between them by inserting two extra close-ups from the earlier version (i.e 'VICIOUS') so that she smiles first and he responds
instinctively before retreating into impassivity to protect his vulnerability; then return to her again in TO MAKE A KILLING as she is still trying to smile before he shoots her.
At 52 mins When Terry tells hero
that they are all going to have sex with Sondra, reduce shot of her legs kicking in protest as she is held by other boy, removing first part of shot as it pans down from her thighs and resuming on her feet kicking.
At 52˝ mins Shortly after, reduce shot of Terry pulling down top of her T-shirt by removing first part, resuming to see him clutching top of dress between her breasts.
The second two cuts are definitely intact in the Australian DVD, so I've no reason to doubt that it's uncut.
I've reason to believe that the earlier version called Vicious may have been differently edited, as
per the comment on the first cut. It is not the last time the BBFC have actually reedited part of a film instead of simply cutting it.
It is an interesting film, though rather milder now than its reputation was at the time. I
don't doubt it would get through the BBFC uncut nowadays.

Summary
Review: Perverse Sex and Cocaine
Very erotic and sick at the same time. This movie leads you down the dark allies of human sexuality. But it touches more than the loins. This is mostly because of the innocence
of the Ai, the main character. Her quest for true love and happiness stands in a deep contrast with the dark nighttime of Tokyo, ridden with perverse sex and cocaine.
This movie is a must for people interested in culture, sexuality and gender
roles. It gives perfect examples of how power play somehow gets us excited, but mainly rests upon images of gender and sex we have invented inside our culture. It's a little Foucault, it's a little de Sade, it's just very interesting.

Before Ai arrives to Mr. Satoh's room, they are slow-motion scenes showing Yakuza storming into Mr. Satoh's room, yelling at him for being a failure and restrains him. Despite his pleas, the Yakuza tie his
girlfriend up and hooks her up with drugs, with him watching and being helpless to help her. The Yakuza then take turns sadistically raping and beating her.
Shortly after the guy says 'Let her go' referring to Ai, the scene returns to Satoh's
bedroom where the Yakuza slashes the right side of her face with a tanto knife to show who's the boss, explaining why later her face is bandaged when she returns the ring to Ai. The scene then goes back to the lobby showing Ai running into the elevator

Summary Notes
In eighteenth century England, "first cousins" Tom Jones and Master Blifil grew up together in privilege in the western countryside, but could not be more different in nature. Tom, the
bastard son of one of Squire Allworthy's servants Jenny Jones and the local barber Partridge, was raised by virtuous Allworthy as his own after he sent Jenny away. Tom is randy, chasing anything in a skirt, he having a sexual relationship on the sly with
Molly Seagrim, the peasant daughter of Allworthy's gamekeeper. Tom is nonetheless kind-hearted and good-natured, he who is willing to defend that and those in which he believes. Blifil, on the other hand, is dour, and although outwardly pious, is
cold-hearted and vengeful.

Summary Review: Wicked Ending
In the 13th century there existed a legion of
evil knights known as the Templars, who quested for eternal life by drinking human blood and committing sacrifices.
Tombs Of The Blind Dead is the first, the originator, and it RULES. Church bells become dinner bells, as
the ominous tolling of the chimes signals the rising of the dead Templar Knights, an undead sect of religious warriors who weren't that nice when they were alive. A few centuries in the grave hasn't tempered their humors much, and now they're blind to
boot, hunting by sound (and they hear REAL good), seeking fresh human blood to sustain their lumbering, unholy existences.
The Templars are horror icons, and deservedly so. And the wicked ending is the perfect finish to a movie like
this.

The BBFC commented on their video cuts:
Tomorrow Never Dies followed the pattern of the recent Bonds of being slightly too violent for its intended audience. When it opened in the cinema, the Board considered that, on
grounds of violence, the film had just scraped through as a 12, yet to our surprise, the British public, for all their reported concern about screen violence, lapped it up, content to treat James Bond as fantasy violence. The producers were alerted to
the probability that, if 12 were to remain the target category on video, the film might need further cuts in violence, since the Video Recordings Act laid down the need to assess the likelihood of underage viewing, which in this case was a virtual
certainty.
The additional BBFC video cuts were:

Summary Review: Sexy Adventure
Sexy adventure film has international hit lady Cheri Caffaro involved in James Bondish escapades in Manila. She accepts a mission to
kill a group of gangsters in the Philippines, but problems arise when she falls for the detective investigating the murders.
Caffaro is very sexy in an aggressive sort of way, and the director eroticizes the violence (Caffaro is
virtually turned on by pain and death). That is quite a daring thing for a movie to do, and the people here deserve some credit for even attempting it. The climax of the film is surprisingly suspenseful.

Summary Review: Grisly
The Toolbox Murders
starts out with 20 minutes or so of grisly and very well done kill scenes, all of which involve tools. If you like violence, then you'll love the introduction of this film. If you're a sucker for nudity in horror films, then you'll appreciate the
introduction to this film for that as well.
After the kills are complete, the middle portion of this movie is a lot of talk with little or no gore. However the dialog between the killer and the kidnapped girl is very
interesting.
If you have the attention span to sit through 'slower' moments of this film, then you'll find something to enjoy in it.

The man getting his head sawed in half; this scene was much longer. More blood and grue flies out as the killer saws,
and the aftermath of the top half of the man's head being ripped off was shown, and the camera lingers longer on it when it hits the ground.
The man being strapped to the table and killed was a bit longer. There were more hits with the hammer,

This film was originally shown to the BBFC in an unfinished version. The BBFC advised the company that the film was likely to receive a 18 classification but that the requested 15 certificate could be achieved by
making reductions to a number of scenes. In particular the BBFC suggested that the number of blows in a fight scene should be reduced; an aggressive use of very strong language should be removed; sexual bullying of a naked young male in showers should be
significantly reduced; sexualised killing of a partially naked young male should be significantly reduced; visual element of a severed penis in condom in comic context should be reduced; focus on a screwdriver embedded in hand should be reduced; focus on
screwdriver in neck should be reduced, along with subsequent closer focus on neck wound as blood flows. When the finished version of the film was submitted, all the reductions had been made satisfactorily and the film was classified 15 .

Summary Review:
Worth the wait
Someone is strangling coeds in Perugia. The only clue is that the killer owns a red and black scarf, and police are stumped. American exchange student Jane and her friends decide to take a break from
classes by going up to Danielle's uncle's villa in the country. Unfortunately the killer decides to follow, and the women begin suffering a rapid attrition problem.
This is one of those Italian horror classics that's actually
worth the wait. Not as well put together as Argento or Fulci, but packed with really great jazz tinged music and some totally unforgetable scenes, mainly the beautifully shot murder in the woods and the final showdown in the house with Suzy Kendall and
the masked killer. Almost a classic.

The distributor had requested a 15 rating for the 1990 cinema release but the examiners' reports show that BBFC examiners had concerns about scenes of violence at this category. They also recommended against cuts to a
film expertly and technically executed . Examiners considered the impact on the audience of the combination of action and violence as well as the likely appeal of the film to teenagers. But ultimately the examiners concluded that the levels of punchy and upfront
violence would best be represented by an 18 certificate.
From IMDb. The film was initially given an X-rating by the MPAA. The following are the scenes that were trimmed to receive a R-rating:
Benny's death is optically cropped to remove the exiting drill erupting from his stomach.
The innocent bystander used as a shield was bloodier before trimming.
The stabbing of Helm in the bar had the bowie knife slicing up his
stomach. Stills of this were actually featured in Fangoria magazine at the time of the film's release.
Several shots of the scientists being killed by Quaid after he breaks free from the implant-machine were shortened.
The scene of
Richter's arms being severed was shortened.

In response to a query to the BBFC:
Toxic Avenger was never actually cut by the BBFC. However, the version submitted to us was heavily pre-cut by the distributors before it was sent in. The version classified (without
cuts) by the Board runs at about 75 minutes, whereas the full version runs about 90 minutes. From what we understand a number of sequences of gore and violence were toned down throughout and a scene involving the use of chainsticks was also removed
because, at the time, it was well known that the Board did not allow the use of these weapons in films). It is entirely possible that it might be possible to classify a stronger version of the film now - perhaps even the full version, but we cannot say
for sure without a formal resubmission.
Cuts for an R rating were as follows:
Dialogue cut heavily from the scene in the locker room, where Slug, and Wanda talk about hit-and-run pedestrians.

hand only.

Summary Review: Untempting
Toxie finds he has nothing to do as a superhero, as he has ridden his city of evil. So he decides to go to work for a major corporation, which he discovers may be the evilest of all his adversaries.
Toxie is told that his blind girlfriend Claire, has a chance to see again, but it costs a lot of money. Then Toxie gets the opportunity to work as a spokesman for his enemy Apocolypse Inc. He says "yes" so he can get money for Claire. Not
knowing what he was doing, Apocolypse Inc. takes over Tromaville and makes everyone slaves to work for them. After Claire's surgery, she opens up Toxie's eyes and he has too battle with The Devil himself.
Generally found
disappointing but a few reviewers found the funny side somewhere.

someone having a broom handle, shoved through their head, and once through the head, the head is then forcibly separated from the body
someone having their intestines removed, and being
strangled with them
a scene featuring someone having their hand and fingers squashed in a videocassette-deck
All these scenes appear in previous (non-UK) DVD versions. A shame, as the cuts are really noticeable in the UK Blu-Ray! And according to someone else, the UK audio commentary goes off-kilter and out-of-sync with what's
on-screen, for about 20 seconds too.
Toy Story 2 is a 1999 USA family animation comedy by John Lasseter, Ash Brannon (co-director)... Starring Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and Joan Cusack.
There are minor variant versions for regionalisation. A fake outtake in the
credits was dropped after the #MeToo campaign rendered it to be of bad taste.
Summary Notes

collector and proprietor of "Al's Toy Barn"! In this all-out rescue mission, Buzz and his friends Mr. Potato Head, Slinky Dog, Rex and Hamm springs into action to rescue Woody from winding up as a museum piece. They must find a way to save him

Presumably as a result of the #MeToo campaign in 2017 a barbed reference to such bad behaviour was dropped from the fake outtakes that play out in the end credits.
One of the Toy Story 2 blooper reel's jokes is difficult
to laugh at in light of today's #MeToo-inflected political climate. In the scene, Stinky Pete the Prospector, the movie's villain, is seen flirting with a pair of identical twin Barbie dolls.
Y'know, I'm sure I could get you a
part in Toy Story 3, he says, stroking one of the dolls' hands. Woody catches him in action, and Stinky Pete becomes noticeably flustered, quickly dismissing the women by ushering them out of his packaging.

An eccentric toymaker's last wish is that his brother takes over the running of the business. The brother is a military General,
and is out of touch with toymaking, and out of touch with reality too. The business should really have been given to Leslie, who was much more like his toymaking father. When the General starts making weapons instead of toys, Leslie decides to take
action.
