FBI agent Jake Malloy just can't nail a serial killer who's been targeting cops. The killer has already killed nine cops. Not only does the killer despise policemen, but he also has a grudge against Malloy for pursuing him during a
string of prostitute murders four years ago. The killer finally decides to hit Malloy where it hurts, killing one of Malloy's friends on the force, and brutally killing Malloy's fiancé Mary. The grief sends Malloy off the deep end and causes him to
become alcoholic, forcing Malloy's colleague, Detective Hendricks, to sign Malloy up at a remote detox clinic in a snow-covered part of Wyoming. The clinic specializes in rehabilitating alcoholic cops. But the killer murders another patient and assumes
the patient's identity at the clinic. While Malloy participates in group therapy sessions, the killer starts killing the patients. Among the endangered patients are Jaworski, Slater, Noah, Conner, and a dozen others, one of whom must be the killer. One

The BBFC commented:
- The BBFC advised the company that sound levels during some acts of violence may be too impactful for 12A and that the film was likely to receive a 15 classification. The final score and sound effects on the completed film
included differences in sound levels which reduced the strength of some acts of violence to an extent which made the film acceptable at 12A.
Thanks to Gavin Salkeld. None of the musical score was changed or reduced in any way. As for the cuts:
- Silas breaking the thieves' necks has had the sound effects reduced in volume. In the theatrical cut, the second neck break happens off-screen, but you see both in the extended cut.
- The impact of Silas striking the nun with the slab was
reduced in volume
- The impact sounds of Fache kicking the air traffic controller were reduced in volume

v Daddy Darling
- 1970 Denmark/USA drama by Joseph W Sarno.
Daddy Darling is a 1970 Denmark/USA drama by Joseph W Sarno. With Helli Louise, Gio Petré and Ole Wisborg.
Banned by the BBFC for 1970 cinema release. Uncut for 1973 cinema release
Summary Review: Intelligent erotica A young Danish girl (Helli Louise) seduces everything in sight after daddy refuses her naughty come-ons. She'll have a lesbian affair with her teacher, pretend that
her teenage boyfriend is dear old dad and finally get to her stepmother The taboo of incest is explored/exploited by Joe Sarno in this flick, but it's the daughter lusting after Dad and not the other way around.
For a film made in 1969, it's notoriety lies in its stretching the limits and possibilities of soft-core erotica, just before the advent of hardcore movies. It helps that the actresses are attractive, the nudity abundant, and the
exploitation envelope pushed. All in all, a good example of reasonably intelligent erotica from a lost era, well-handled and well-executed.

v
The Dam Busters - 1955 UK war historical drama by Michael Anderson.
The Dam Busters is a 1955 UK war historical drama by Michael Anderson.
Starring Richard Todd, Michael Redgrave and Ursula Jeans.
The US Version was shortened by about 15 minutes and was censored to overdub the dig named 'Nigger' with the new name 'Trigger'. The UK Version has continued with the original name but a modern British remake opted for the dog to be
renamed 'Digger'. BBFC comments The BBFC commented about the name 'Nigger' for U rated 2007 cinema and home video release: One of the main characters owns a dog called 'Nigger'. The
dog's name is spoken a number of times, without any apparent racist intent, and reflects cultural attitudes of the time that would be unacceptable today. It also reflects the actual name of the real-life mascot of 617 Squadron during World War II.
In 2018 the BBFC left the name 'Nigger' uncut but increased the rating to PG explaining: We had previously classified the film at the U category, most recently for a cinema re-release in 2007. Even since
2007, public concern about discriminatory language has increased and we have amended our guidelines accordingly. The film is now more appropriately placed at PG where the guidelines state Discriminatory language or behaviour is unlikely to be acceptable
unless clearly disapproved of, or in an educational or historical context, or in a particularly dated work with no likely appeal to children. The ratings info for the film signals racist terms, mild bad language.

- The fight scene in the playground with Matt and Elektra
is longer.
- The scene in the bar where Daredevil takes out the bikers is longer and more violent.
- An exchange during the Natchios' party where Foggy and Wesley have a verbal

is about to lay down he starts to hear noises and sounds from the outside world as far as seeing a woman crawling on the floor and ends by him laying down inside the coffin and the top sealing.

Bullseye demands his own costume is restored to I want a fucking costume as opposed to the theatrical version where he says I want a bloody costume

criminal mastermind known only as "The Joker" appears in Gotham, creating a new wave of chaos. Batman's struggle against The Joker becomes deeply personal, forcing him to "confront everything he believes" and improve his technology to

article from comicbook.com : David Dastmalchian, who played abducted schizophrenic Thomas Schiff, told The Hollywood
Reporter his encounter with a frenzied Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) was tamed by the MPAA: [Nolan] told me a funny anecdote. He said he really liked the scene, but he said when we were shooting it, I was pushing my head
against Aaron's gun and he was pushing the gun back, Dastmalchian said. I remember for a few weeks after I had a big welt on my head and a little goose egg and black bruise. He said that was one of the moments the MPAA asked him
to go back and he had to cut out the indent from the gun barrel on my head.
The director also had to show restraint when it came to the murderous antics of the Joker (Heath Ledger), namely a scene that originally showed a knife
stabbed through a bloody Joker card on the corpse of a Batman imposter. In the final cut, the card is neatly pinned to the body. |

Darkman is a 1990 US film by Sam Raimi.
With Liam Neeson, Frances McDormand and Colin
Friels.
Cut by the BBFC for a 15 rated 1990 cinema release. Then less cut for 18
rated VHS and DVD. Uncut and MPAA R rated in the US. Production History See
article from hollywoodreporter.com
Director Sam Raimi original produced a 2 hour version but it did not go down well with preview audiences. The producers took fright and commissioned a massively shortened version running at about 85m. But just before the release, and too late
to do anything about it, another producer, along with Sam Raimi's editor restored about 9 minutes of the best of the dropped material. The resulting 96m version is the version that has been released ever since.
Summary Review : Entertaining
Sam Raimi directed this entertaining action yarn hot on the heels of 1989's hit Batman. Liam Neeson (before he hit it big) stars as scientist Peyton Westlake, who has developed a synthetic skin, only problem is, it
can only hold for 99 minutes before it deteriorates. When his lab is destroyed by Robert Durant (Larry Drake), Peyton is blasted into a nearby harbor. He is left horribly scarred, but when he recovers he uses the synthetic skin to get his revenge on his
would be murderers while trying to get back with his girlfriend (Frances McDormand). Darkman is really entertaining and is a great twist on superhero movies, Neeson shines as the tortured soul hero, while McDormand is
great as his girlfriend. Recommended to those looking for a comic style movie with a twist. Versions

The US Theatrical Version was cut for an MPAA PG-13 rating. There is also an uncut Spanish/Unrated Version. Summary Notes There's something in this house... Something ancient and dark
that remains still, hidden and silent. It can only wait, having been concealed in the shadows for years. In fact, its milieu is darkness. Only in it can it show itself and move. It even takes its name: DARKNESS. It's lived here since someone tried to
call it, more than forty years ago. Because this house hides a secret, a terrible past, an inconceivably evil act... Seven children, faceless people, a circle that must be completed. And blood, lots of blood...

Darling is a 1965 UK romance by John Schlesinger. Starring Julie Christie, Dirk Bogarde and Laurence Harvey.
Cut by the BBFC for an X rated 1965 cinema release. This cut version was

Dashcam - 2021 UK/US horror by Rob Savage
Dashcam is a 2021 UK/US horror by Rob Savage
Starring Annie Hardy, Amar Chadha-Patel and
Angela Enahoro
Passed 18 uncut by the BBFC for very strong language, strong bloody violence. In the US: Rated R for bloody violence, pervasive language, and crude sexual references throughout Banned by Vue Cinemas, May 2022
A new horror film is apparently considered so offensive that Vue cinemas have cancelled all scheduled screenings. Those who had purchased tickets to see Dashcam, the new found-footage horror from director Rob Savage, were surprised
when they realised screenings would no longer take place. This was brought to the attention of Savage himself, who shared an email from a Vue employee received by one customer. Apparently @vuecinemas have canceled our
screenings of DASHCAM because the movie is too offensive! If that doesn't make you want to watch this film, what will?
In the email, Vue told the customer: Thank you for your question regarding Dashcam . I
have received feedack from our staffing screen and they have decided we won't be showing Dashcam at any of our venues due to the contents of the movie, which may offend our audiences. We at Vue believe in diversity and any movie
which may offend audiences, we may decide to no longer show at the last second without notice. I'm sorry this is not the outcome you were looking for.
Vue later made an unconvincing attempt to row back on offensiveness being the
reason for the ban and cited commercial reasons instead. The BBFC rating information reveals more about offensive aspects of the film. The BBFC explains: The protagonist expresses homophobic attitudes, including
the use of discriminatory terms ('fag' and faggot'). Other discriminatory language includes 'retard, libtards and mongoloid. A scene involves focus on human excrement after a woman soils herself in the backseat of a car.

Starring Anthony Perkins, Mia Sara and Robert Reynolds.
Exists as an uncut version and an abridged TV version. Both were passed 18 by the BBFC. Summary Notes The Daughter
of Darkness is an atmospheric, sub-hallucinogenic venture into the world of the unknown. The enigma facing the young woman is the identity of her father. Unfortunately for her she becomes drawn into a small Romanian underworld of brooding menace,
darkness, torture chambers and bizarrely over make-overed vampires. The moody undertones and well chosen locations are certainly a bonus as is the comically funny finale.

Cut by the BBFC for an X rated cinema release in 1971. Later uncut and
18 rated on home video. The original release was also cut in the US for an MPAA R rating but was later uncut and MPAA Unrated on home video. Summary Review: Underrated gem There's nothing like a
bunch of gals trooping around in revealing outfits, or no outfits at all, to perk up the dreary old Stoker legend. And if you can make the head vampire a woman, that certainly can't hurt either. Welcome to Daughters of Darkness.
You just gotta love this film. Daughters of Darkness is one of the best vampire films I have ever seen for a multitude of reasons. The primary reason the picture succeeds is due to the amazing talents of Delphine Seyrig. Who
is this enchanting woman and where has she been all my life? I love this lady! She manages to make her character insanely gorgeous and metaphysically eerie at the same time. She slinks around in shimmering outfits dropping suggestive comments, tells
horribly gory stories, winks, and grins with the greatest of ease. And her fate at the end of the film is gruesome and disturbing. Just as good as Seyrig is the oppressive atmosphere of the hotel and the desolate surroundings.

Dawn of the Dead is a 1978 US zombie horror by George A Romero. With David Emge, Ken Foree and Scott H. Reiniger.
A long history of BBFC cuts to Dawn of the Dead from 1978 - 1997. The cuts
were waived in 2003 but there are still multiple versions to add to the complexity. The film was once seized by UK authorities during the Video Nasty moral panic. Summary Review: Consumerism and materialism
Although you will find this film under the Horror section of your video shop, I view Romero's zombie films as terrific action films. The rules are simple (don't get bit and shoot them in the head), the prey is stiff and slow
and the shopping mall setting is the ultimate playground. However, where the film separates itself from every other action film and horror film out there is its clever subtext that reflects society at the time the film was
made. In 1978, consumerism and materialism had started to rear its ugly head. I think Total Film magazine said it best when it said that the ...survivors have everything they want in the shoppers paradise, but nothing they need, such as freedom and
liberty. US Theatrical Version/Romero's Cut

From sbbfc.co.uk: The film was seen by six Examiners and the then Director of the BBFC, James Ferman. The Examiners unanimously disliked the film, whilst at the same time acknowledged
that Romero had displayed some technical flair in creating pace and atmosphere. Much discussion was given over to the moral framework of the film – were the zombies sentient beings or unfeeling objects; was the violence mitigated by the fact that the
zombies are no longer human beings; was the audience being invited to indulge in the killings because the zombies ostensibly felt nothing? One thing that all the Examiners and James Ferman agreed on was that the 125 minute
submitted version would have be cut before being released to the general public. Ferman stated that the film featured violence perpetrated against people which was to a degree never before passed by the Board and subsequently issued a cuts list
that amounted to approximately 55 separate cuts (2 minutes 17 seconds). The following month a cut version of the film was re-submitted for re-examination and this time another team of Examiners viewed the film. All of the
Examiners still disliked the film and some were convinced that cutting was not the solution to alleviating the possible desensitising effect that the film might have on vulnerable audiences. Despite this view, the suggestion of further extensive cuts was
made and the film was once again seen by Ferman who subsequently issued a further 1 minute 29 seconds of cuts to more scenes of gory detail. In September 1979 Ferman wrote to the distributor exclaiming that a tour de
force of virtuoso editing has transformed this potential reject from a disgusting and desensitising wallow in the ghoulish details of violence and horror to a strong, but more conventional action piece…The cutting is not only skilful, but creative, and I
think it has actually improved a number of the sequences by making the audience notice the emotions of the characters and the horror of the situation instead of being deadened by blood and gore . Video Nasties
The film was seized by the police during the Video Nasties moral panic but was not prosecuted. The seizure was noted as a Section 3 seizure under the Obscene Prosecutions Act whereby the seizure is legally recorded but that is the end of
the matter for the supplier.

- Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead
Dawn of the Dead is a 2004 USA/Canada/Japan/France horror film by Zack Snyder. With Sarah Polley, Ving Rhames and Mekhi Phifer.
The film was cut in the US for the R rated theatrical release. This cut version was released in the UK for cinema and first DVD. In 2004 the Director's Cut was
released. It is uncut and 18 rated in the UK but was initially cut in the US. Later US releases of the Director's Cut were uncut. Summary Review: Great sense of humour This remake has been handled
exceptionally well. Looking at other recent remakes ( Texas Chainsaw Massacre , The Ring etc.) you're perfectly entitled to feel a little bit cautious as to whether this film is going to be much cop....I know
I was! Especially given that the original is one of my favourite films. Don't worry though. It's a great film! The feeling of dread may be missing but it's replaced by tons of adrenaline-fueled terror (Thanks to the change
in Zombies' speed) and the special effects and gore are second to none. What this film also has is a great sense of humour.....which is just what's needed at certain points! Overall, this remake is not better or worse than
the original, it's different. It runs at a much different pace, emphasises have changed and it's far more about fun and thrills than doom and despair. Director's Cut/Unrated Version

Thanks to David. I can honestly say that after watching this film UNRATED it really sticks in your mind. You learn loads more more about the characters with this extra dialogue in terms of character development and the film is
becomes like the original 1978 horror classic with all that nice gore included. The R rated version suffers cuts as follows:
When Ana arrives at the Bus Transport and sees the two zombies tearing someone apart in the back of the bus, there is a shot of a nude woman (bare breasted) looking dazed and confused. Very disturbing scene and
I can see why the MPAA insisted on its being removed! In the Region 1 DVD - the woman's breasts have been obscured by digitally adding extra blood to the windscreen that the camera is viewing through. This extra blood is not added in the UK Region 2
version. Right after ANA and KEN meet up, they walk past a playground right before entering the small tunnel. As they arrive at the back entrance of the mall, everyone gets a surprise as this crazy
looking dude comes running. He also brings some nice friends...While in the store, they see the toilet sitting there, which ends up going through the window. When MICHAEL shoots the mallet up through
the zombie's neck into his head, extra brain matter was removed in the theatrical cut. Two dip shits discussing the zombie outbreak while CJ watches in anger.
We actually get to see CJ waste the zombie janitor in the sports store. Right after the "Down With The Sickness" montage, instead of cutting to the sniper shot of Jay Leno, CJ
is reading a women's top 3 list to BART who is asleep. #1 in his list is trust. GLEN tells the uncomfortable BART and CJ the first time he knew he was gay...lol A quick shot of NORMA grabbing that
hotties cigarette right as ANDRE leaves for LIDA. The actual gunshots which hit Norma as her and Andre battle it out. A more realistic shot of the
zombie baby right before getting done in. Michael and Anna make out in the shuttle bus before the "food-Andy meeting" A lot more zombies
during their run for the gun shop. More Zombies, and more headshots. Awesome shot of a zombie's half-face after getting a shotgun blast by KEN. THE MISSING GUN SHOP EXIT: CJ runs to the roof with a propane tank and chucks it over. He's aiming with Andy's sniper rifle. Aim...Ready...Fire!!!
How will we know if he shoots it? CJ exits the gunshop last, leaving right up to his exit from the truck and back onto the street. (Where the theatrical cut left you). CJ gets another zombie right before blowing up another propane tank.
More gore is involved in the scene when the blonde babe gets sawn in half by Glen. Blood splatters on KEN's face blinding him, causing the turn-over. We
get to see Michael actually place the gun up to his throat and Bang- suicide!

Day of the dead is the third in Georges line-up and is a masterpiece and has some of the best blood/gore special effects I have ever seen on a film before! The infamous scene where a man is ripped in two looks almost what you would
expect to be real! Don't be expecting any award winning acting though, as this doesn't have it. There is lots of annoying shouting and swearing in this too, which does get on your nerves, but that makes it all the better
when you see the annoying soldiers get eaten alive! Versions

anyone under the age of 16.

US: Uncut and MPAA R rated for:
The BBFC further explained their 18 rating: A cut version of the film was previously classified 15 for cinema release but this version of the film is uncut and has therefore been passed 18 for scenes of
strong, gory and bloody violence. The film contains several scenes where vampires are killed in extremely gory fashion, with copious bloodshed and including images of severed limbs and decapitations. The Guidelines at 15
state that violence may be strong but should not dwell on the infliction of pain and injury and that the strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable . The scenes at the film's climax in particular show both vampires and humans
being torn apart, with large quantities of blood and sight of flesh being ripped and torn. Daybreakers also includes some strong language and a brief scene of female nudity. |

UK: Passed 15 for strong bloody violence and horror after 6s of BBFC category cuts for:
The BBFC commented: Company made three cuts to remove shots focussing on very strong gory violence, in order to achieve a 15 classification. An uncut 18 was available. The BBFC further explained
the15 rating: The film contains several scenes where vampires are killed in extremely gory fashion, with copious bloodshed and including images of severed limbs and decapitations. The guidelines at 15 state that
violence may be strong but should not dwell on the infliction of pain and injury and that the strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable . Many of the violent scenes in the film show the blood as almost black and this lessens the
impact of the bloodshed and allows these scenes to be contained at 15 . The scenes at the film's climax, in particular, show both vampires and humans being torn apart but these shots are all in the distance and very rapidly edited with much of the
stronger detail carefully masked. Daybreakers also includes some strong language and a brief scene of female nudity The BBFC category cuts were:
- Remove medium shot of Frankie with torn up chest and streaming blood as vampire soldiers feed on him.
- Remove close shot of Frankie with shredded chest and neck as vampire soldiers continue
feeding.
- Remove close shot as blood gushed from neck wound. Resume on vampire soldiers eating flesh.
