No, Cockfighting is illegal, so it would have to be cut regardless.

Ahhhh, unless the filmmakers just happened to film a cockfight that was taking place, and didn't stage it themselves, in which case it isn't illegal (or cruel). Go figure!

Ah well, the pointless cutting of the Commander by my moral guardians has just forced me to buy a copy elsewhere. Not having them tell me what I can and can't see.

They say that but it didn't stop them cutting a cockfight from EMANUELLE IN BANGKOK, which was filmed in an cockfighting arena and was clearly going to happen anyway.

How stupid, obviously the scene was shot in a country were cock fighting isn't illegal. The use of drugs is illegal, so how come so many films feature drug use, and those scenes don't get cut? I hate the BBFC.

True. Inconsitant and two-faced. Just as they've always been.

THIS is my point exactly. There a useless, pointless, un-neccisary and painful sin that should be removed from there seat of power.

We've just recieved word from Arrow that The Commander is going ahead cut, as 'it seems the set up of the shots would not pass the BBFC, or it would be very difficult.'
