Attack of the Clones Cut in UK

Posted by michael on from the jar-jar-still-in-it-unfortunately dept.

MartyJG writes "The British Board of Film Classification has demanded a cut in Ep2 AOTC for a head-butt. I don't know which is more extreme: UK viewers insisting on viewing the US version for 1 second of extra film, or that a 1 second cut means the difference between a '12' (~PG-13) and a 'PG' certificate. For some reason the distributors must think fewer people would see the film if it was a '12'. The film report is on the BBFC website."

    Actually, not strictly true about PG. From the bbfc site:


    PG

    General viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for some children

    'PG' Parental Guidance

    Unaccompanied children of any age may watch. A 'PG' film should not disturb a child aged around eight or older. However, parents are advised to consider whether the content may upset younger or more sensitive children.
