The subject of headbutts has always been a hit-and-miss one with the BBFC. They were cut from films such as The Matrix (for a 15), yet left intact in Miss Congeniality 2 (12-rated), the Oliver Reed Three Musketeers (U rated) and The Living Daylights (PG rated). The latter features a very graphic headbutt. Curiously a headbutt was allowed in the first Shrek, yet cut from the sequel for the same U certificate. |

What do ya guys think about The Hitcher original, it was rated 18 back in 2003 I think. Would it still be a 18 today? Im not so sure about this one. |

I would rate The Hitcher as a 15. Yes there are. The UK releases of 2 & 4 still feature the same cuts as before. |

Yes some BBFC rulings were curious to say the least. 'Piss' was cut from the old 'A' (PG) rated Convoy, yet allowed in the U-rated (cartoon!) Watership Down the same year. The brilliant Licence To Kill was cut for violence by the BBFC (for a 15) though Dalton's headbutt to Benicio Del Toro wasn't among the cuts. |

Yes some of that was cut for the cinema release (as well as the opening whipping, and the burning Sanchez) though fully uncut now. Bond-wise (or ernie-wise) the Roger Moore era seemed to get away with a heck of a lot for an 'A' (PG). Even gun caressing (Man With The Golden Gun) and imitable techniques (Live And Let Die). I would have rated Craig's Casino Royale as a 15. Even with the BBFC (dialogue) cut. |

Wasn't the Casino Royale 1 disc dvd or maybe it was the 2 disc actually the full uncut version? I thought I read that somewhere? I may have dreamt it

I was right about Casino Royale.Found this on IMDB... Region 2 British DVD releases vary in the torture scene: in the single-disc release (D6-43508-UK-S), the film is 138.22 mins and is missing Le Chiffre placing the knotted rope on Bond's shoulder and saying to him, "Such a waste", and at least one low-level shot of the rope coming in for impact; in the double-disc collector's edition (D7-43508-LC-S), the film is 138.35 mins and has these brief additions, plus the sound effects here seem enhanced / more violent.
