That's a tough one as Mark Kermode is a vegetarian who is against animal cruelty and censorship so I'm not sure on which side of the fence he would come down. As you say, he didn't have much luck arguing for the cuts to be lifted against The Last House on the Left as he argued passionately that it should be uncut because of its historical significance and that appeal only served to have them increased!

C'mon guys ... let's agree ... the scene in question doesn't add to the story in anyway .... if it was there or not!!! It wouldn't be a great issue if the scene doesn't make it!

But that's not the point. Zombi 2 would work just fine without the zombie fighting the shark. Taxi Driver doesn't need the weird overhead shots of objects and rooms.

You could end up cutting all kinds of things out of all kinds of films if that was a relevant issue.

Well then, will Cult Labs have the CUT bits from Arrow Video DVDS on here like they've done for Shameless?

Why is it that you can go anywhere in the UK and purchase a rat/mouse trap like this:

It says, "A rat or mouse trying to take the bait reaches a point where it touches 2 plates and completes an electrical circuit, killing it in seconds."

Please get out. You have no business speaking of film anymore.

That is one of the greatest shots in Scorsese's career.

.... I think the point is that one scene leads to another ... continuity wise .. if the few frames were missed from Inferno, it would make absolutely no difference to the rest of the movie. The zombie/shark scene kinda has some relevance (although daft as nuts!) ... implying the disease is no longer isolated. Taxi Driver overhead room shots add to the claustrophobic surroundings which help in Travis' downfall.

Out of interest, no one has mentioned the scene in Inferno where the cats are clearly being thrown on screen!

Can't you tell put the cats obviously loved being hurled at Leigh McCloskey?! It was probably the highlight of their lives!

Just as an aside, and on a related topic, the scene in Martin where a chicken is beheaded has passed through the censors intact, presumably because it was a quick kill that was performed by a slaughterman and filmed 'documentary style', rather than being set up and undertaken by a member of the cast.

Who gives a shit about a poxy mouse?! Cats eat mice. Mice are routinely killed everyday by humans.

The BBFC don't censor people squashing bugs, ants, cockroaches...they be Gods little creations too.

Dumb ass cut for no valid reasons whatsoever.
And ANYONE bitching about the mouse being killed but happy to see the scene of said mouse dying cut, is a ****ing whiny hypocrite anyway.
As with the 'animal cruelty free' garbage on "Cannibal Holocaust"...IF you care so much then why would you even want to own the film even if those scenes are removed?
That film still killed the critters you're weeping over, whether or not you have someone close your eyes for you during those scenes or not.

If you give a rats ass about a rodent, you would not buy the DVD at all anyway. Whether cut or uncut.
Bleat about the cheese nibbler somewhere else.

Tell you what will **** the film though, unless the cut is done very carefully (unlike the last time the scene was cut), and that's the fact that it happens during music playing...thus making it hard to avoid an annoying audio jump at least.
All for a mouse being eaten by a cat.

Dumb cut. Dumb decision.
I guess 'Arrow' were unlucky it wasn't a cockroach being eaten by the cat.
