It normally boils down to what they class as a 'quick kill', though I couldn't see any difference between the snake shootings in
Westworld (uncut) and
A Gunfight (cut). The latter would probably be passed intact if submitted today.
The lizard impaling in
Profondo Rosso isn't a quick kill and was obviously staged for the film. The BBFC have no legal grounds for waiving it as, unlike
Inferno, the scene simply couldn't have been faked.
