The BBFC commented:
Cuts required to remove portrayals of children in a sexualised or abusive context and images of sexual and sexualised violence which have a tendency to eroticise or endorse the behaviour. Cuts made
in accordance with BBFC Guidelines and policy.
These include cuts to the juxtaposition of images of children with sexual and sexually violent material. Although the Board does not regard these images as likely to
contravene the Protection of Children Act 1978, the Guidelines state that intervention is most likely with, amongst other things, portrayals of children in a sexualised or abusive context .
The
Theatrical Version was submitted for the 1996 cinema release, the 1997 EIV video/DVD and the 2008 Warner DVD. This was passed 15 without BBFC cuts.
The cuts for the cinema version were described by Michael Brooke as follows:
The sequence in question sees the butcher visit a cinema to watch a hard-core porno film that contains two sequences featuring a man and a woman
clearly having penetrative sex (one in extreme close-up). He then leaves, returns to his flat, is taunted by his pregnant girlfriend and ends up punching her repeatedly in the stomach until she aborts their baby. All this is accompanied by
near-continuous voice-over narration, which is quietly philosophical during the porno film, and violently aggressive during the subsequent assault (Your baby is hamburger meat now being a typical example).
And what makes
the BBFC decision even more bizarre is the fact that instead of cutting the sex scene entirely, they opted for a Japanese-style blurring of the image, which makes absolutely no sense since not only is it still blindingly obvious what's going on, it also
beggars belief that anyone watching the rest of the film (which in addition to the abortion sequence also features close-ups a young girl spurting gouts of blood from her neck, brains being splattered all over the floor and a voice-over consisting of
near-continuous misogynist, homophobic and racist abuse) could possibly be disturbed by what must in fact be one of the *least* disturbing scenes in the film!
Se7en is a 1995 USA crime mystery thriller by David Fincher. Starring Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt and Kevin Spacey.

Cut for an MPAA R rating
Definitely not cut by the BBFC but there was a recent discussion in the news groups suggesting that the film had been slightly trimmed by the MPAA to achieve and R rating. This was then the version submitted in the UK. The cuts were
apparently to the 'Lust' scene. Purdip adds:
I believe these cuts are unlikely, as the Criteriion Laserdisc version is 'R' rated and they certainly would have collaborated with David Fincher without hesitation to release
the unrated version of the film as always.

Summary Notes
Boris Zaroff is a modern businessman who is haunted by his past --
his father was the notorious Count Zaroff of The Most Dangerous Game fame. Consequently, Boris is subject to hallucinations and all-too-real social lapses which normally involve sadistic harm to beautiful naked young women. His butler is sworn to
indoctrinating him into the evils of the family line, and their castle's torture dungeon proves quite useful in this regard. However, Boris is periodically lured away from his destiny by the romantic apparition of the deceased countess who previously
owned the castle.

1776 is a 1972 USA family musical drama by Peter H Hunt. Starring William Daniels,

The film was shortened and cut for dialogue prior to the US theatrical release. All available deleted footage was restored for the laserdisc version but there were quality issues with some of additional footage. A Director's Cut was
produced for 2002 DVD which was more selective about the restored footage both in terms of narrative and technical quality.
Promotional Material
1776 is a musical celebration of the founding of the United States of America based on the award-winning Broadway production. The story centers around familiar historical characters as they organize a movement for independence
from Mother England: the tough and unyielding John Adams (William Daniels); the charming and pragmatic Benjamin Franklin (Howard Da Silva); the brilliant Thomas Jefferson (Ken Howard) who is chosen to write the Declaration of Independence even as he
longs for the company of his new bride Martha (Blythe Danner); and the rest of the Continental Congress. All events lead up to that most significant date of July 4, 1776 when the Declaration was signed.

US: The Laserdisc Version is the longest available and includes all available footage. From IMDb:
The laserdisc reissue
features deleted footage, alternate takes for certain scenes, and an additional musical number titled Cool Considerate Men. This version also includes an overture and intermission. According to the laserdisc jacket, the original film elements of
the extended version were destroyed; thus the deleted scenes were taken from whatever Columbia could find, mostly old, misused prints (which leads to a decrease in picture and sound quality whenever the film transitions from the theatrical version to the
deleted footage). One deleted scene was taken from a black-and-white print and was presented as such.
For the 2002 DVD release, the film has been shortened slightly from the laserdisc version, to 166 minutes. The overture and entr'acte music have been removed and the songs Piddle, Twiddle, and Resolve and
Lees of Old Virginia (the latter's reprise has been removed) have inexplicably been cut back to their original release lengths. On the other hand, a short piece of footage following Cool, Considerate Men has been found and reinserted. The
replaced footage has been repaired, giving the DVD a much better look visually than the laserdisc.
There is also additional dialogue originally deleted in the Theatrical Version for age classification reasons.

UK: Presumably the cut cinema version was
passed PG uncut for mild threat without further BBFC cuts:
I really
expected the film to be cut, let alone to get an 18. I knew that the producers really wanted the film to get a 15 because it's a lot easier to sell.
The very first cut we did was two hours long and had lots and lots of violence: that torture scene
went on for ages and it was really explicit. At two hours, the film was obviously too long and we trimmed it down so it ran far smoother.
When the movie was trimmed in the editing room, the torture scene was shorter, and as you don't see as much, it
made it even more disturbing. If you focus on a gore effect for too long, it doesn't look realistic. So we kept much of the gore off screen.
The BBFC went for a split vote for Severance to be a 15 or 18. It ended up being a very hard 15 or a
very, very close to being 18 with snips.
[Statement from the BBFC. We saw an unfinished version of Severance and told the company that it was borderline 15/18. They took it away, removed about seven minutes and then formally submitted it. It
got a straightforward 15 because they'd toned it down from the original cut].
Can we expect a far more gruesome director's cut on DVD when it's launched in December 2006?
I don't think so. I think Chris is happy with the way it is and there
wasn't that much gore that was cut out in the first place. As I said earlier, if more violence is added to the torture scene, it won't appear to be realistic.

Starring Deborah Walley, Paul Carr and David G Cannon.
Uncut and X rated by the BBFC in 1974. Several cut version were released in the US on home video but the 2020 release Blu-ray is uncut.
Summary Notes
Jeff Ashton recoiled in horror after finding a severed arm inside a package just delivered to his door. It immediately reminded him of what happened five years ago, when he and five of his pals were trapped in a cave inside a desolate mine they'd been exploring. After two weeks and facing starvation, their only option had been to resort of cannibalism in order to survive. Reluctantly they agreed to draw straws and Ted sacrificed a limb so everybody could have a meal. Seconds after cutting off their friend's arm they were rescued and blamed the amputation on the rockfall. The five men swore never to tell anyone what had really happened. Ted said he'd never foget what they'd done to him and vowed revenge.

Summary Notes
Lucía is a young waitress in a restaurant in the centre of Madrid. After the loss of her long-time boyfriend, a writer, she seeks refuge on a
quiet, secluded Mediterranean island. There, bathed in an atmosphere of fresh air and dazzling sun, Lucía begins to discover the dark corners of her past relationship, as if they were forbidden passages of a novel which the author now, from afar,
allows her to read.
There's a couple of very explicit sex-scenes both with brief (blink and you'll miss them) pornographic moments.
The Extended Version was passed 15 without BBFC cuts for the 2008 Entertainment in Video DVD.
Sex and the City is a romantic comedy based on the well-known and long-standing television series of the
same name. The film follows the romantic exploits and shopping forays of Carrie Bradshaw, a New York City based writer, and her three friends – Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda. It was passed 15 for strong language, sex and sex references.
The BBFC Guidelines at 15 permit frequent use of strong language (e.g. 'fuck'). That particular term is used about half a dozen times in the film, with a couple of additional variations.
The BBFC
Guidelines at 15 also state that sexual activity may be portrayed but without strong detail and that there may be strong verbal references to sexual behaviour. The film contains four significant sex scenes; all are quite short and one involves three
people. Although we see vigorous thrusting and some breast nudity, the sequences are sufficiently brief and lacking in detail to be allowed at 15 in this case. In one scene that doesn't involve any sexual activity there is a brief sight of a flaccid
penis. The numerous strong verbal sex references in the film fall fairly and squarely within 15 classification category parameters.

The BBFC Commented:
Sex Drive is a comedy based upon a road trip taken by friends Ian, Lance and Felicia, as the former travels to a rendezvous with a woman he met on the internet. She has promised to have sex
with him if he comes to see her and, as a virgin, he is keen to take up her offer. The work was classified at '15' for use of one use of very strong language, strong nudity, sex and sex references.
The use of very strong language occurs in a
final fight scene between two women. BBFC's guidelines at '15' require that the use of very strong language be justified by context and this single use, said by a woman to a woman was felt to fit these criteria. The work also contains frequent use of
strong language.
This version of Sex Drive contains frequent images of full-frontal male and female nudity, including close-ups on women's breasts. The nudity is intended to titillate, but is not sexual in context, so fits within BBFC
Guidelines at '15', which state that nudity may be allowed in a sexual context but without strong detail.
Sex references include strong references to coprophilia, masturbation and plenty of ribald banter between the young characters about
sex. There are also two sex scenes involving one of the main characters, where we see him indulging in unusual sexual practices. At '15', Guidelines state that Sexual activity may be portrayed but without strong detail and 'There may be strong
verbal references to sexual behaviour.'
Finally, there is some moderate violence during a scene where Ian and his friends are confronted by the film's villains, including a comic moment where a character is shot in the leg.
We are treated to a real Unrated this time, indicated by the enormous running time difference of over 20 minutes! From the very first minute we know that this won't be the usual kind of Unrated Version, since the movie starts with
an introduction by the director and the producer making fun of the various conventions of Unrated Versions...only to present breasts and genitals in its purest form just a moment later.
The movie itself then provides
everything the viewer could ask for: numerous extensions of nude shots and sex scenes as well as whole new footage, cruder dialogue, audio changes containing fouler language as well as random fart noises or simply naked women and genitals pasted into the
movie just for the hell of it. Outtakes are used in the movie itself as well.

This is a very watchable soft core sex movie and very representative view of early 70s London.
The main premise of the film, involving David
Warbeck as a burglar who gets so involved with the ladies they don't mind being robbed is a good one and the direction is good. Some of the performers are better in the bed scenes than out but what do you expect when the sex is the main raison d'etre.
Not particularly sexy but there is plenty of flesh on display and the scenes are pretty vigorous. Enjoyable.

The BBFC commented:
The film opens with a scene set in a school science laboratory in which a boy and a girl masturbate themselves in front of their classmates while filming their actions on their mobile phones. The
scene contains a brief but explicit shot of the girl's pudenda as she strokes herself under her skirt. Although the detail is explicit, it is brief and justified by context in that the film goes on to examine the reasons behind this behaviour and the
attempts by the family's matriarch to get her children to open up about their sexual desires and experiences. The actress in question was over 18 at the time of filming so there is no issue under the terms of the Protection of Children Act 1978.
The film also contains a number of other strong sexual scenes, although none of them feature the kind of explicit detail seen in the opening sequence.

Summary Notes
Four female convicts break out of prison, and during their escape they take hostage a bus full of young female tennis players. They drive the
bus to the house of the judge who originally sent them to prison, where--since this is after all a women-in-prison picture--the hostages undergo various forms of physical and sexual abuse in various degrees of nudity.

This movie is about the morality,
education, and responsibilities pertaining to sexual freedom. Not only that, it has the most amazing child birth sequence that could and should be used as a training tool and viewed by anyone that is interested in the miracle of child birth.
This very insightful movie should be shown in school sex education programs internationally along with material already being presented in that forum, and is and all around must see for anyone deemed mature enough. It is a great
introduction to various pertinent aspects in the sexual arena. It's delightful!

Summary Review : Killer Chopsticks
Fatal sushi, lethal chopsticks, and as American as violence!
Directed by Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz, the Troma Guys who brought you The Toxic Avenger and Tromeo & Juliet, Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D. introduces Sgt. Harry Griswold (Rick Gianasi), a streetwise New York cop who transforms into the world's most
unusual super-human hero.
This movie is unquestionably one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. The clown scene literally caused me to experience my first heart attack. (well maybe not, but I was laughing for 7 minutes straight) The killer
chopsticks were brilliant, and the ancient prophecy was...well...hehe
