Unusual edit on Film4, the scene where Tony Stark's jeep is ambushed before he's kidnapped was completely removed. Not watched it on 4 before, so is this a new edit?

I'm wondering, with it being a film that appeals to kids airing close to the watershed during the school holidays, whether Film4 decided to take no chances and cut it anyway, even though they probably could get away it...
Very silly
Did you miss a couple of minutes at the start because it was there at the start of the movie before it jumps back to 36 hours earlier in Las Vegas. I recorded it, just checked and it definitely showed the soldiers being killed and vehicles destroyed.
i'd see bits i couldn't remember before usually really violent so obviously here in the UK Movies
when being shown on TV are being Cut to bits hence why i couldn't mind seeing certain scenes
I always assumed the South of Ireleand to be a more conservative and religious country than we are
but it seems when it comes to TV movies there certainly less restrictive i wonder though for all the
censorship are we better for it?? seems if the idea was to protect us from acting out violence etc etc
it hasn't worked just take a stroll down your high street on weekend night and you'll see plenty
of violence and that cant be cut
Film4 generally air stuff uncut. And fastfowarding ads doesn't annoy me.
You're right my bad, I was watching it on delayed playback and it was the PVR to blame, fault on the drive as I recorded it on +1 and it was there. Did think it was odd for Film4 to cut films after the watershed. PVR now standing in the corner thinking about what's its done.
I've often compared films before and seen various snips on Film4 - I wonder if it's because it's a channel that they sell to various providers? Perhaps they're a little more inclined to snip from time to time.
A good example of this is a film called The Dreamers. Certain explicit nude shots are clipped on the Film4 version but left alone in the Channel4 version.
I have spotted differences, Kick-Ass plays uncut on both C4 and Film4, but when it played at 10.15pm on C4 there was one warning at the beginning of the film, however a recent 9pm screening on Film4 had warning at the beginning of the film and after every ad break. I'm wondering if that was just a timeslot thing though...
And is Denmark a more violent country than us? Silly question, I know. There is no evidence between violence in society and what is shown on TV and films
Given I spent much of the year in Denmark and Sweden for work I can confirm neither cut.
It's great to see shows without the daytime TV edits we get in the UK. When living there full time a few years ago I remember both The Bill and Heartbeat (early post watershed series) being screened uncut in both their daytime and evening broadcasts as both were on daily.
I still think the most amazing was TV2Films which is probably closest to Film4 in the UK a basic cable channel showing Pulp Fiction uncut on a Saturday lunchtime
I think the BBC have given up on showing Pulp Fiction after they got in trouble for showing it at 9.10PM during a Great Movies season. Ofcom really need to grow up and stop censoring stuff post-watershed...
One of the purposes of the watershed was to protect children seeing programming that they shouldn't be watching. Isn't that the responsibility of that child's parent? Besides, who are the terrestrial networks protecting from cutting bad language out of PG rated films? School kids have been swearing for decades and removing it out of programming isn't going to change that. In fact, swearing is pretty much the norm just as it was a hundred years ago.
This digital generation don't care anymore whether or not swearing is broadcast during the day. So why continue to do it? For those who are easily offended, don't watch it!
Source?
Probably most of the fall, pictures of the Sky they may leave uncut unless it features a black cloud that could possibly frighten the children, then it would have to be cut.;-)
Irish tv is a breath of fresh air compared to the UK when censorship is concerned. Watching a show on Channel 4 like The Simpsons I wonder why they bother. RTE always air it uncut. I also recall Beverly Hills Cop being shown on a Saturday tea team in all its glory.
I try not to watch any movies on FTA UK television because they will be edited in one way or another.
Outside of daytime, it's not generally that bad. People over exaggerate a lot...
The following quotes from this thread would suggest that it is pretty bad regardless of the time of day.
