most cut film for tv ever??
I started watching carry on cowboy on Itv 3 yesterday ( it is christmas
) and wondered why it seemed so disjointed I looked at the schedule and found it was only 50 minutes long instead of the orriginal 90minutes. Is this a record

Yeah that FYI Daily nonsense so they can, as you say, fit more ad breaks in. Sly buggers.

BBC2 once screened a "Get Carter" with something like 12 minutes missing.

In the days when it was just on the GMAN Manchester multiplex, Movies for Men showed heavily cut, ahem, "gentlemen's" films.

I was gutted to have missed 'See No Evil, Hear No Evil' on ITV one afternoon: there's tonnes of effing and a nude lady in the only version I've ever seen of it.
I did see 'Smokey & The Bandit' on an ITV afternoon once: Burt's giving it large on the police radio calling the cops a bunch of overdubbed playground insults, rather than the original lines, and then the copper threatens to arrest him for his language.

Mentioned this before, but I was on holiday in Florida in 96 and there witnessed a cut to within an inch of it's life Robocop being shown at 10am on a Saturday as part of kids tv.

Channel 4 once showed the full length version of Caligula with the porn bits cut out, so about 6 or 7 minutes.This was prior to the uncut version being certificated by the BBFC.

There is a recent film cal Sister Cities, shown on tv in the US, but apparently the iTunes version cuts all references about drugs, that's about 30 minutes in my book.

Whenever UK broadcasters show the edits of movies which are made for daytime viewing on American tv and for airlines, then they will be edited and dubbed to pieces. The Robocop movie another poster mentioned would likely have been in this category.
If we talk TV shows I remember when Channel 4 broadcast Angel at teatime, there was quite a furore over just how much they cut out of it. |

In the 70s ITV made a big thing of showing the uncut version of Soldier Blue on a holiday weekend. Most of the country tuned in to find about 20 minutes (the violence and sex) edited out! There was uproar, and the excuse was they hadn't realised they'd been sent the US tv version!

Surely the 1st 2 Beverly Hills Cop films must be up there,all that effing and going was cut out when the 2nd one was on a Xmas Day night and when you saw the 1st one premiered at 8.30 Boxing Day night,knew some of the best lines was gonna be cut.
I seem to remember the 1st one on at 10 in the morning on one of the ITV channels back in the day |

An odd one, but when the 1996 BBC Doctor Who TV movie was first shown on BBC One (Easter / MayDay bank holiday), it was shown at about 7pm, primetime. Unfortunately it was a few weeks after the Dunblane shootings, so the scene right at the start of the film of Chang Lee and his two mates being shot up by a street gang was almost entirely cut out. Other scenes lost were some of the crescendo shots during the Seventh Doctor's death in the operating theatre, and the Master snapping Chang Lee's neck.
It eventually was released uncut in 2001, and shown as part of Doctor Who Night uncut soon after. It's got its knockers amongst the Who fan community, but I love it. |

ITV1 even showed a cut version of the 12 certificate 'Revenge of the Sith' that they broadcast after 'News at Ten' last year.

I misread the thread title. Thought it said the most "cult" film for TV.

Smoky and the bandit whilst not cut, is probably the most censored as the sheriff's constant cussing is cut out or changed on the ITV version.

I think it was the south park movie dvd that had a tv edit as part of the special features. The edit lasted about a minute and a half.
