Guest Markgway Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Strange that Jackie would promote a film to kids that they legally couldn't see in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shukocarl Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I may be wrong but, wasn't Big Brawl an 'AA' back then...like today's PG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest killer meteor Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I think it was. Mind you, the BBFC still has Snake In The Eagle's Shadow and Dragon Lord at 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest killer meteor Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 www.bbfc.co.uk/website/Cl...enDocument Ironic that such a mild film is still censored for its fighting content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shukocarl Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 any idea what was cut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chinatown Kid Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I believe the double palm slap to the ears Jackie did on one of his opponents was cut, the HKL's version(UK based company) has this scene cut on their DVD if I'm not mistaken.

Guest killer meteor Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Yeah, apparently the ban was because some med student got deafened imitating the Tango ad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 The BBFC were cutting earclaps long before tha Tango ads. The AA Cinema version was cut to remove several kicks to the groin, an ear clap (replicated for video and DVD) and a neck break. Even so didn't the AA have an age restriction? An X was an '18' Point is: not the kind of film you'd normally promote to kids. If submitted now the film would be passed uncut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dager in the cotton Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 they cut the ear claps in 1/2 a loaf, but what about the 3 stooges, they were bashing each other senseless on U certs. unfair if u ask me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shukocarl Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I think 'AA' was 14yrs and over if I remember correctly. Still, Big Brawl was comedic unlike say 'Fist of Fury' which was largely serious and so got an 'X' rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 The Big Brawl would've been an 'X' uncut (if the BBFC had allowed). Kung Fu movies were treated very harshly by the BBFC and being a comedy didn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
