The BBFC commented:
15 violence guidelines state that Violence may be strong but should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury and this scene contains a number of scenes that fit this rubric but exceed the
'12/12A guidelines which state that Moderate violence is allowed but should not dwell on detail. There should be no emphasis on injuries or blood... as scenes showing the hero delivering two realistic headbutts to his opponents, a defenceless
woman being beaten with a metal chain, a prolonged scene showing a man being throttled to death, a man repeatedly beating a woman with a rock, a man killed by being run headfirst into a giant rock and lengthy close-up sight of a dead woman lying on the
ground with her throat cut which did not feature in the 12A theatrical version were not permissible at 12A but were allowable at 15 as they did not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury and many of the blows were masked offscreen

Summary Notes : A shocker in its day
Kelly, a prostitute, traumatised by an experience, referred to as 'The Naked Kiss,' by psychiatrists, leaves her
past, and finds solace in the town of Grantville. She meets Griff, the police captain of the town, with whom she spends a romantic afternoon. Kelly finds a job as a nurse in a hospital for handicapped children. The work helps her find her sensitive side
in the caring and helping of her young patients. Kelly's path towards happiness is thrown amiss, when she witnesses a shocking event, which threatens not just her happiness, but her mental health as well.
In its day, The
Naked Kiss was quite the shocker. It dealt with (or hinted at) such then-taboo subjects as prostitution, abortion and even pedophilia in bold ways that were foreign to American film audiences. Unfortunately, like many once-controversial movies, the
handling of these topics are now so dated that, at times, they are almost laughable.

2014 cinema release titled Nativity 3: Dude Where's My Donkey?!
The BBFC commented in the 2014 Annual Report:
The distributor sought classification advice from the BBFC in two stages before submitting it formally.
An early version of the film contained a
single use of ass , in the context of a donkey shaking its rear and we advised the distributor that this use would be acceptable as 'very mild bad language' at U.
A later version of the film contained repeated uses of shake that ass
in song lyrics, and without the contextual justification of the earlier use, we informed the company it was likely to be passed PG.
When the final version of the film was submitted for formal classification, the company had
chosen to replace all uses of the word ass in the song lyrics with 'thing'.
Both versions of the film also contained the phrase elf off , said by an elf, during an elf-style ghetto slang scene. Since this word
play takes a euphemistic form, rather than a direct replacement for strong language, it was acceptable within the context of the wider film at the U category.
Natural Born Killers is a 1994 USA crime drama by Oliver Stone. Starring Woody Harrelson, Juliette Lewis and Tom Sizemore.
The UK VHS version includes some of the violence from the Director's Cut as James Ferman wanted Mickey to be less agreeable. This was in the hope of deflecting the controversy that the heroic couple Mickey And Mallory were accused of
inspiring copy cat crime by sensationalist newspapers. Even so the cinema release was delayed by the BBFC whilst checking out these false claims, and was again delayed by Warners for VHS release after initially coinciding with the Dunblane killings. The
Director's Cut was passed 18 uncut in 2002. In the US the cut Theatrical Version is MPAA R rated and the Director's Cut is MPAA Unrated.
The
misadventures of Mickey and Mallory: outcasts, lovers, and serial killers. They travel across Route 666 conducting psychadelic mass-slaughters not for money, not for revenge, just for kicks. Glorified by the media, the pair become legendary folk heroes;
their story told by the single person they leave alive at the scene of each of their slaughters.
The unrated directors cut has additional scenes as follows:
Pre-credits murder scene in the diner features additional footage (Mallory smashing a guy's head on the floor; more graphic footage in the knife throwing death scene);
The death of Mallory's father is slightly extended with more graphic
footage;
Mickey is briefly seen raping the bound hostage in the motel room;
When Mickey and Mallory run out of gas in the desert they start to argue; Mallory points a gun at Mickey and forces him to remove his trousers. He's chased by a
ram escaped from the herd of the indian shaman. Mickey and Mallory ask him for help and follow him home;
Jack Scagnetti's murder of the prostitute is longer and more explicit.
After Mickey and Mallory have killed the indian and have
been bitten by the rattlesnake, we see Scagnetti dumping the body of the prostitute near a railway; the camera pulls back to reveal a nearby drive-in theater where Mickey and Mallory are watching the film and talking;
The clerk at the Drug Zone
pharmacy is watching a program on Mickey and Mallory on TV that features a dramatized massacre in an indian jewelry and craft store;
The beating of Mickey and Mallory after he's surrendered outside the Drug Zone is longer and more violent (the
scene is shot mimicking the Rodney King videotape);
The scene where psychiatrist Dr. Rheingold (Steven Wright) is interviewed by Wayne Gale is longer and features additional dialogue;
A new scenes features Denis Leary as a prison inmate
walking up and down his cell while delivering a frenzied and funny monologue about Mickey and Mallory.
The prison riot sequences are longer and include additional scenes showing a cop being shoved into a washing machine and killed, a con's head
boiled in a large pot, another cop dragged on a table and shoved into an oven, a cop thrown and hanged from a balcony and cons cutting other cons' throats in the prison's barber shop.
After hitting the guard (Vince Pruitt Taylor) in the face
with the butt of a shotgun, Mickey convinces him to bring him to Mallory's cell by breaking his fingers;
Jack Scagnetti's agony after being stabbed in the throat by Mallory is longer;
The warden's (Tommy Lee Jones) death scene at the
hand of the prisoners is more explicit. The prisoners are seen waving his dismembered body parts and his head on a spear;
After Mallory has shot Wayne Gale's hand, there are a few frames showing the warden and the guards seen through the
bleeding hole;
After Mickey and Mallory have killed Wayne Gale, the movie continues with a new ending showing them riding on a van with Owen (Arliss Howard), the prisoner that helped them escape. Owen insists that Mickey and Mallory take him
with them but they refuse; after Owen asks Mickey to let Mallory have sex with him, the couple decides to throw him out of the van, but he pulls a shotgun and kills Mickey. The last frame shows Owen taking aim at Mallory.
The Director's
cut also include the following extra scenes that were not included in the film. Oliver Stone's decision.
There's a lengthy courtroom sequence showing part of Mickey and Mallory's trial; the prosecutor Wanda Bisbing (Rachel Ticotin) is interviewed by Wayne Gale and then we see witness Grace Mulberry (Ashley Judd) being cross examined byMickey. The murder
of Grace's brother is shown, then Mickey stabs and kills Grace with a pencil on the witness stand.
Wayne Gale interviews the Hun Brothers, two body builders who have had their legs sawn off by Mickey and Mallory. A flashback reveals that the
brothers have been spared by Mickey and Mallory because they've been recognized as great admirers of their work;
I had an interesting report from a Melon Farmers reader:
I was fortunate to see a test screening of NBK at Universal Studios. There was a part of the motel rape scene removed from the final cut, this involved, Mickey
approaching the bound & gagged hostage, he starts to dance in front of her, then taking his knife he cuts off her knickers, and then pursues to rape while her hands are still tied behind her back, (this scene continues to bombard your mind and
becomes more and more unbearable to watch) and then finally he then puts his mouth against hers, and rips her tongue out while still raping her (ala Midnight Express!).
Why this was not added on to the supplementary
section of the Box-Set release I don't know. I believed the scene was important in that it showed the sickness, ruthlessness and disturbing side to all serial killers and more importantly to our character 'Mickey'. Without this scene Mickey to me just
did not seem disturbing enough! even with all the cuts restored. I asked John Venzon (assist. editor) why the scene was omitted, in reply he said 'it detracted your attention away from Mickey, and was deemed to excessive', fair comment!

This is a Nazi sexploitation flick and it has not only plenty of nudity but explicit, hardcore pornographic shots as well.
That said, let me point out why this is a far better film
than Salon Kitty . The two films are different versions of what is essentially the same story: a young Jewish woman during the Nazis' reign is sexually abused and exploited by the Reich eventually becoming the madame of a brothel that caters to
Nazi officers where she spies for either the Nazi higher ups or the Resistance depending on which film you watch.
Nazi Love Camp 27 has budget sets and costumes, bad dubbing, and obligatory sexploitation scenes like
whippings, the lesbian warden and several hardcore penetration shots including a gang rape. One would think that this was a thinly-veiled excuse for a porno, and to some extent it is, but it actually has a fairly coherent plot and you truly DO care about
the lead character and even others. Yes, the final scene is a bit over the top, but you're still interested in what is happening right up to the end of the film --- not just fast forwarding to the next naked part.
Sirpa
Lane's performance is strong and due to whatever quirk of talent or fate, she manages to convey the horror and the poignancy of her character's struggles. This is not to say that this is a great film, again know what you're getting into.
