The BBFC commented: Company was required to make a compulsory change to one scene to remove a potentially indecent image involving a child. The original version of the scene showed a child in the same shot as some
explicit material playing on a laptop behind him. Company addressed this issue by substituting the images on the laptop screen with non explicit images. Cut made in accordance with the Protection of Children Act 1978. No footage was removed as the cuts
were made by digital substitution.

Crocodile Dundee is a 1986 Australia comedy adventure by Peter Faiman.
Starring Paul Hogan, Linda Kozlowski and John Meillon.
A 4K remastered and cut version titled Crocodile Dundee: The Encore Cut ,
premiered in Sydney in early 2025. It will be re-released in cinemas in May. In the new cut of the film, two and a half minutes of footage has been edited out.
- Among the moments removed is the scene in which Paul Hogan's Mick Dundee grabs a bar patron in the groin and declares that was a guy, dressed up like a sheila, while someone else yells 'faggot'.
- A callback to the scene later when Mick does
the same thing to a woman at a party, telling her, I was just making sure, has also been removed.
Paul Hogan agreed with those scenes and others being edited out of the film. He said: I heard about it years ago, it started, it wasn't about being woke. They pointed out to me and said, 'This guy is a folk hero around the world. He
shouldn't be groping people.' And I thought, 'Yeah that's right, he shouldn't be', so take it out. I mean, he did it in all innocence, in naivety, but it's better without it.
Production company Rimfire Films said:
Some years ago, Paramount Pictures and other distributors requested the reference to the crossdresser be edited from the original film, as they found it offensive. We agreed to that request.

The Cannibal Man is a 1972 Spanish thriller by Eloy de la Iglesia.
With Vicente Parra, Emma Cohen and Eusebio Poncela.
Banned as a video nasty in 1983. Cut by the BBFC for 18 rated VHS in 1993. Later passed 15 uncut for 2025 Blu-ray. There is also an extended integral version assembled
from unique footage from several other versions, such as the German Cinema Version. Summary Review: Pseudo-sleazy Real slaughterhouse footage and scenes of dirty urban slums set
the tone for this stark and obsessive Spanish thriller. A slaughterhouse employee named Marcos gets attacked by a cabdriver who takes objection when he and his girlfriend are making out in the back seat, and Marcos kills him. This
sets in motion a week of killing, first to cover up the cabdriver's death, and afterward to keep the bodies piling up in his bedroom a s ecret. Weird, pseudo-sleazy film that works even though it doesn't even attempt to live up to its
title - there's *no cannibalism*. The dubbing is pretty bad and there's not much gore (most of the nastiness happens off-screen), but there's plenty of atmosphere and a sense of desperation builds in Marco's apartment.
