How bad is it, any screen examples?

[csutkakoma]

There is one thing! And this is a fact! In England almost always has a different movie version. An example: Star Wars Episode 2, Predator 1-2 DVD. The censors always edit the movies and cut out the gory scenes.

Star Wars Episode 2 was edited because of a headbutt.  For some reason Headbutting is a huge issue with the BBFC.  I have both Predator and Predator 2 on DVD and I havn't noticed any editing.  I have no idea what you're talking about.

First DVD relase not the SE. The Se is not edited of course.

This work was passed with no cuts made!

So what the hell is that? This is say no cuts made and the movie is 15 and Colin told us  there is only one version being shown word wide. Now what?

[That Yellow Alien]

Why is it so hard to believe that the movie is violent and bloody, but got a 15 certificate?

Its all the same version, its just the UK BBFC thinks this film should be a 15 and the USA thinks its should be an R rated movie is all.

[Porkus Maximus]

It's pretty obvious.  The BBFC does not believe that the film warrants an 18 certificate.  We probably will see a lot of blood but besides a chestbursting or 2 and the skinned bodies I doubt we'll see anything overly visceral.  Context is a huge issue that needs to be taken into consideration.  For example a guy smashing someone's head open with a rock would be more offensive than an alien headbiting someone because it's more "real".

I am unfamiliar with UK ratings but this doesn't make sense.   If brutally killing women and children doesn't get you an 18, what does?

[Porkus Maximus]

Headbutting women and children.

I agree...I've always known that the UK in general is more lax when it come to violence, but a child chestbursting should really qualify as an 18...doesn't make sense...
