Hair the stage show has a place in censorship history for a couple of years
after it opened in 1967. The musical's profanity, its depiction of the use of illegal drugs, its treatment of sexuality, its irreverence for the American flag, and its nude scene caused much comment and controversy. However by the time the film was
made a decade later then all of these issues had by then dissipated. The film was passed PG uncut by the MPAA after a successful appeal against an R rating. In the UK the film was given an uncut 'AA' (14) rating by the BBFC. It was later 15 rated for

taken to a hospital to be treated by the wounds that had been afflicted by her brother a few hours ago. However, Michael isn't too far off and will continue his murdering 'Halloween' rampage until he gets his sister all to himself.

119:03s
= 114:17s | US: The Director's Cut is MPAA Unrated for its US release:
From IMDb. The Director's Cut is a significantly new take on the story with the Laurie Strode character have for more bleak time of it. The Director's Cut does not contain any additional sex and violence though.
- The opening scene with Laurie walking and Loomis being placed into the ambulance is longer.
- The hospital dream scene has an extra sequence of Laurie attempting to cross over a pile of bodies.
- An on screen title that said "One
Year Later" in the Theatrical Cut now says "Two Years Later."
- During the breakfast scene, Laurie and Annie now argue about going to the psychiatrist.
- More dialogue with Laurie and the psychiatrist. Laurie looks at a
framed inkblot on a wall and says it looks like two white horses with a ghostly figure between them.
- Loomis' press conference is expanded. Loomis discusses Michael's Oedipal complex, as well as the idea that Michael perhaps saw Loomis as a
father figure.
- Added sequence where Laurie runs a bath and begins to freak out.
- Laurie stopping to play with a pig on her way to work is removed. She instead goes to the psychiatrist and tells her about playing with the pig (we see a
few seconds of it, now in flashback), and how it triggered a nervous breakdown of sorts. When the shrink denies her more pills, Laurie freaks out and swears.
- The scene where Annie finds Laurie drinking a beer in her room has been expanded: They
have another fight.
- A non-masked Michael (along with Young Michael and his mother) angrily looks at a billboard that advertises Loomis' book.
- When Laurie and Maya come home from the party, there is a short added sequence of them making
tea in the kitchen prior to going upstairs. There's also an added shot of Michael apparently walking out of the house.
- Brackett's reaction to finding Annie's body is longer, containing video flashbacks of real-life actress Danielle Harris as a
child.
- The ending is significantly different: After Loomis enters the cabin, Michael throws him through a wall, and the two of them wind up outside. Michael then removes his mask, yells "DIE!", and stabs Loomis. The cops then open fire
and kill Michael. Laurie then comes out, takes Michael's knife, and approaches Loomis with it, implying that she may stab him. The cops then open fire on her and seemingly kill her. We then fade to the same hospital footage seen at the end of the
theatrical cut as a cover of "Love Hurts" plays on the soundtrack.

Uncut for UK cinema release, and DVDs after 2002, but was cut by the BBFC

predecessor. However Halloween 2, made 3 years after John Carpenter's original, is a successful exercise in terror. However, expect more violence than the almost entirely blood-free first outing.
A very worthwhile film for lovers of the horror genre. Cutting Edge Quick Trims

film takes a break from Michael and lets just say if you haven't seen the film don't judge it! It has everything from suspense and action, to horror and romance. I would have to say that I was on the edge of my seat the ending was particularly brilliant

face. Other versions fade to black before the camera can close in on her face.
- The love scene between the two main characters has been slightly trimmed
- When the old man is killed in the junkyard, you loose the footage of his head being
pulled off and the resultant fountain of blood.
- In the scene were the robot man attacks the woman in the laborotory, he reaches for a drill, it starts to spin and in the video version it cuts off. In a showing on Sky we see a shot of the woman
being drilled with the head obscured by a hospital trolley, but you can hear the sound of her being drilled and see her legs shaking.

in his eyes, the wrenching of the skull and his feet thrashing about.

This is the best available version. From IMDb. Some dialogue and gore was cut from the U.S. release to obtain an "R" rating:
- The scene in which the cop (Fenton Quinn) is killed outside of the Myers' house was shortened considerably. In the original version, as Michael is bashing his head into the glass on the windshield, there was a shot where you could see
the glass embedded into his face.
- The shot of Mikey (Jonathan Chapin) quivering on the ground was shortened to avoid an "X" rating. You can still notice the abrupt jump in the shot before he is dragged away by
Michael.
- In the documentary Inside Halloween 5 a cut scene is shown of a man removing Michaels mask and looking at it weirdly. Another scene cut was removed because it was considered too graphic. As Jamie is trying
to climb back up in the laundry chute Michael stabs Jamie through her ankle. When Jamie emerges from the laundry chute you can see her ankle wounded and bleeding.

There Producers cut was given a festival screening in November 2013. It is the original version prepared by the film makers. It was substantially reworked into the Theatrical Version as a result of feedback from preview audiences. See
review from mcbastardsmausoleum.blogspot.co.uk
: Things missing from the producer's cut are a lot of extra gore scenes like the head explosion of Mr. Strode and the bone protruding from the snapped neck of a victim. Pretty much the entire finale was re shot so you
don't have the operating room massacre or Michael being injected with a syringe full of nitric acid, but what you gain with the Cult of Thorn mythology makes for a more complete story. This cut of the film is just more enjoyable with more atmosphere and
is not as disjointed. Dr Loomis' exit in the producer's cut - while not perfect - is way better than the chopped finale is the theatrical version.

The BBFC commented:
- This film was originally shown to the BBFC for advice in an unfinished version. The BBFC advised the company that the film was likely to receive a '15' classification but that the requested '12A' certificate could be achieved by
making a number of reductions throughout the film. In particular, the BBFC suggested (i) that several aggressive uses of moderate language ('bitch' and 'pussy') should be removed, (ii) that a scene showing Hancock taking a woman back to his trailer and
having sex with her should be removed (including an implied orgasm), (iii) that some heavy blows, strangulation and sight of blood during scenes of violence should be reduced or removed and (iv) that the level of sustained threat and tension -
particularly in the final scene - should be reduced. When the finished version of the film was submitted a number of substantial reductions had been made, including the deletion of the entire sex scene, and the reduced version was considered acceptable
at '12A'. A complete version, with the deleted footage restored, has subsequently been classified '15' on DVD.
Thanks to Gavin Salkeld. The BBFC added in an article on sbbfc.co.uk :
Hancock was passed at PG-13 in the US for Some intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence, and language . The distributor wanted a 12A for the same version in the UK,
but substantial further cuts to violence and hostile language were required by the BBFC to achieve this category, together with the overlaying of more upbeat music for the climactic fight scene, to signify victory for the hero, and soften the tone and
impact of the violence. The final 12A version carried consumer advice of Contains moderate violence, strong and aggressive language and crude humour . It seems likely that the BBFC saw
a version with some of the material now in the extended version. It seems that the advised cuts for a 12A were reflected in the US with similar cuts for an MPAA PG-13 rating. |

| cut | | | 2008 US/India drama by M. Night Shyamalan
The BBFC passed a pre-cut cinema version of the film 15 in 2008 with the following explanation: THE HAPPENING is a thriller about a couple and a young girl trying to escape a mysterious toxin causing people to commit
suicide and murder. The work was passed '15' for frequent images of suicide and moderate bloody injury.
Besides references to terrorism, and a sustained menace from an unseen and uncontrollable threat, the film also features a series of suicides
by different methods, including a policeman shooting himself with sight of blood trickling from a bullet wound in his head, sight of another man lying in a pool of blood having shot himself off-screen, a jump moment where several bodies are seen hanging
from trees, a scene where a man slits his wrist at a small distance and another scene where two young teenage boys are shot. In each case sight of blood and injury is fairly brief. However the treatment of the suicide theme and the frequency and nature
of the injury detail went beyond the bounds of a '12A', but met the BBFC's '15' Guidelines which allow 'strong threat and menace', and state that 'no theme is prohibited, provided that treatment is appropriate for 15 year olds', 'violence may be strong
but not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury' and 'dangerous techniques (e.g. combat, hanging, suicide, and self-harming) should not dwell on imitable detail'.
The work also contains moderate language including uses of 'bitch'. Thanks to Christian:
Euro Cut M. Night Shyamalan has stated in an interview with a German news magazine that the German version has been cut losing shots of:
- the needle piercing the throat during the suicide at the beginning
- a man having his arm bitten off by lions
- a man dying under a lawnmower
Some of these shots do turn up in the Red Band trailer and I strongly suspect that these aren't the only shots that were cut, due to the erratic editing other viewers already mentioned.
You can probably imagine that I was a bit pissed off when
I realised that the English-language version of The Happening I was watching was missing the same shots that I knew had been edited out of the German version. This suggests that this may indeed not be a matter of national censorship but that
20th Century Fox might well have created a Euro-cut and is hoping to cash in on an Unrated Director's Cut DVD later on. |

The Happy Hooker is a 1975 USA biography comedy by Nicholas Sgarro.
With Lynn Redgrave, Jean-Pierre Aumont, Lovelady Powell.
Cut for UK cinema release. Uncut on home video. Summary Notes: About sex but no sex Having emigrated to New York and immediately got the kiss-off from her mother-besotted fiance, a Dutch lass takes a
well-paid office job and starts liberally sampling the local male talent. After a while she decides to make her pleasure her business too, and as her reputation grows she graduates to a high-class bordello. Soon she realises she has the right talents to
make a real success of a place of her own. A movie that is about sex from beginning to end but could've been rated G, or at least PG. No one is shown having sex, and it's discussed in such a clinical way it DOES become the business of pleasure.

Cut by the BBFC for an 18 rated 1993 cinema
release and further cut for 1994 VHS. Passed 18 uncut for DVD since 2001. Uncut and MPAA Unrated in the US. Summary Review: Breakout Film A thriller about a reckless Hong Kong cop who is out
for revenge against a gun-smuggling ring. Along the way, he encounters an undercover cop already on the case who he eventually partners up with. Although the story is pretty ordinary, lacking the emotional drama of The Killer, the action is
non-stop and represents Woo at the top of his game. Once again, Woo delivers awesome shootouts and insane stunt work in a relentlessly entertaining action flick. In fact, you can break the film down into a series of
set-pieces which include a eye popping shootout at a teahouse and a blood soaked 40 minute finale inside a hospital. The standout moment of the film is a one-take action sequence that follows the two men through the hospital and is nothing short of
amazing. Cutting Edge Quick Trims

throws herself at anything "pretty in pants", also has a decidedly cold relationship with her stepmother, Elaine...

From IMDb. (With thanks to Cameron) According to Nick Moran, the intensity of his role as Scabior (including his more violent scenes) was toned down, because according to David Heyman: It was like watching Saw
. Filming the torture scene, where Bellatrix is torturing Hermione, at the Malfoy's Manor, at the climax, proved to be very intense for the actresses involved (most of the scene was cut, to avoid an R rating in the U.S., and a
15 rating in the UK). Hermione's bloodstained hands were digitally cleaned up for the trailer, to ensure a wider (PG-13) distribution.

|  | UK: Banned by the BBFC for:
The BBFC commented: HATE CRIME focuses on the terrorisation, mutilation, physical and sexual abuse and murder of the members of a Jewish family by the Neo Nazi thugs who invade their home. The physical and sexual abuse
and violence are accompanied by constant strong verbal racist abuse. Little context is provided for the violence beyond an on-screen statement at the end of the film that the two attackers who escaped were subsequently apprehended and that the one
surviving family member was released from captivity. It is the Board's carefully considered conclusion that the unremitting manner in which HATE CRIME focuses on physical and sexual abuse, aggravated by racist invective, means that to issue a
classification to this work, even if confined to adults, would be inconsistent with the Board's Guidelines, would risk potential harm, and would be unacceptable to broad public opinion. The Board considered whether its concerns could be dealt with
through cuts. However, given that the fact that unacceptable content runs throughout the work, cuts are not a viable option in this case and the work is therefore refused a classification.
See
article from haddonfieldhorror.com . The Director James
Cullen Bressack responded: I am honoured to know that my mind is officially too twisted for the UK. So it goes...I find it unbelievable that a film that shows little to no on screen violence and no nudity was actually
banned. it just shows the power of what is implied and peoples imagination; and is a testament to the fact that the same crimes that happen in the world are truly horrifying.
And an
article from huffingtonpost.co.uk the
director continues: As a Jewish man, and a victim of anti -Semitic hate, I made a horror film that depicts the very thing that haunts my dreams. As an artist I wanted to tell a story to remind us that we live in a
dangerous world; a world where racial violence is on the rise. It saddens me to learn that censorship is still alive and well.
Despite the lurid language used by the BBFC, reviewers have concurred that the violence and sexual violence
is not explicitly portrayed. For example, see review from
realmofhorror-blog.blogspot.co.uk Clocking in at just over an hour, its not an exceptionally long feature film and with it being a low
budget production, not all the acting is up to the standards of the Royal Shakespeare Company (so to speak). Also, some of the more brutal scenes are perhaps more implied than shown (the wife and daughter get to keep their underwear on for the most part
whilst being sexually assaulted). But then, many might argue that's a good thing and in any case, does not detract from the extremely uncomfortable nature of it all.
The film as described in 'outrageous' language by the BBFC doesn't
quite tally with even mainstream film reviews. Well known US film critic Roger Ebert was quoted in an article from
en.wikipedia.org saying that he gave the film 2.5 stars, saying of the film: Actually more of a thriller than a social commentary. the film holds our
attention and contains surprises right until the end and raises complex moral issues that makes the movie more thought-provoking than we could possibly have expected.
So it would seem that the ban is more about the racist
invective, than the portrayal of the violence. And of course there's also the ever important political correctness aspect, that the the film would be unacceptable to broad public opinion . Perhaps it is also relevant to note here that the
BBFC has been lobbied by a political group on the subject of the censorship of racism. From an article from
sputniknews.com : Danny Stone the director of the All-Party Parliamentary Group Against Antisemitism told the Jewish Chronicle:
We welcome this decision [to ban Hate Crime]. We have worked closely with the BBFC over a number of years and are confident they not only have the right systems in place for certification, but a robust position on
anti-Semitism and racism .
Could it be that the job of film censor is becoming a little 'political'. The BBFC now has to determine if it is acceptable to depict crimes that are PC sensitive, regardless of the
director wanting to highlight the abhorrence of the racist crime portrayed. |

The Hateful Eight is a 2015 USA western by Quentin Tarantino.
Starring Channing Tatum, Zoë Bell and Samuel L Jackson.
Exists as a Multiplex Version and a longer 70mm Roadshow Version. The film was also made into a 4 part miniseries on Netflix. Director Quentin Tarantino has confirmed in
Variety that two versions exist: The roadshow version has an
overture and an intermission, and it will be three hours, two minutes. The multiplex version is about six minutes shorter, not counting the intermission time, which is about 12 minutes. But I actually changed the cutting
slightly for a couple of the multiplex scenes because it's not that. [...] The sequences in question play in "big, long, cool, unblinking takes" in the 70mm version [...] It was awesome in the bigness of 70, but sitting on your couch, maybe
it's not so awesome. So I cut it up a little bit. It's a little less precious about itself.
Summary Notes In post-Civil War Wyoming, bounty hunters try to find shelter during a blizzard but get
involved in a plot of betrayal and deception. Will they survive?

The Roadshow version contains about 6 minutes more material and the rest is an overture and an intermission. As the Roadshow Version is targeted at a higher definition media than any on home video, then it seems logical that home video release will
generally feature just the Multiplex Version The Roadshow version looked like it would be released on French Blu-ray as the 'version Longue' but this didn't actually happen. A Netflix release seems the only home video release so far. |

US: The Multiplex Version is uncut and MPAA R rated for:
See article from collider.com . Producer Richard Gladstein explained the versions:
The multiplex version of the movie which will be presented in digital exhibition, the way in which 99,9% of movies are distributed today, it's missing the overture and it's missing the intermission and it's about 6 minutes shorter. A few scenes have been
reconstructed slightly and there are several scenes that have been excised out of the film for the multiplex version. There are several scenes that are lifted out of the movie and there's a couple of scenes that are re-edited. And
the reason why that they are re-edited is that - that is also the version that will go on television etc. - we felt that a slightly more discerning viewer might be going to the 70mm. So there is a sequence with Jennifer - which I don't want to give away
- where we hold this one shot for maybe 2 minutes and in the multiplex version that same scene takes place but it's just shortened to 45 seconds or something. So there's a minute. So there's a couple of things like that where Quentin cut it down a little
bit for the general audience release who might not have the same patience with sitting in this one long shot. And there are a few scenes for pacing that he adjusted for the mass. But he created that other version, the multiplex version, with great care
and just as much care as the roadshow version.
