The VH1 edit of showgirls. Movie was cut shorter... Meaning what actual plot there was was even more chopped up .
And when they couldn't edit out the nudity, they "Ms painted" bikini tops on the actresses.
It's absolutely hilarious to see https://www.reddit.com/r/Corridor/comments/1bs47qn/showgirls_movie_edited_for_tv_vh1_no_joke/
Here is a reddit link
Here's an example
Is Simpsons on the Disney Channel now?
Attack on Titan, in the anime they decided that having a mother tattoo her kid was too much (in a show where giants casually eat people alive) so they made her do an embroidery with the same symbol instead.
During season 4 where the tattoo was relevant for the first time (and they included it in the show), it was fun watching anime-only watchers complain it was a total ass-pull with no prior setup.
I've not been privy to much censorship in my life (that I noticed) but I distinctly remember in Giants: Citizen Kabuto, there was a quest to slay some sheep and bring back their meat for food and the meat was green. As a 10 year old, I thought it was part of the lore. Since you were on another planet, it made sense to me... maybe these are alien sheep!
I only realized it years later when I had forgotten the game's title and asked about it, describing the green sheep meat, on a forum. I was told it was censorship and which game it was. Replayed it in its pure form and the meat was red.
Moloko plus velocet. My fave.
?
Not crazy but in the 80s France imported a fuckton of anime from Japan without thinking about the original target audience.
Since they wanted to show that to kids, they had to censor a lot of stuff. The most funny was when blood was colored in black everywhere (only a black liquid gushing out of bad guys), or when characters were getting drunk on orange juice.
When 4kids imported anime to the US there are some rather infamous scenes where they censor blood making it white instead. So instead of looking like a bloody mess they look like they did bukake.
There's a Pokémon episode with guns and they just took the guns out lol.
My name is Buck... And I'm here to- PARTY!
also the most famous one:
This is what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps
I don't get the latter.
Also where is it from?
I don't know where the line is from, but gonna guess from context it's "fuck a stranger in the ass".
From The Big Lebowski. Youre correct in your translation :)
Don't remember the movie or show but on aired in Korea I saw they would blur out parts such as cigarettes as well as arm pits (male actor) and a chef's knife (prop was being held with the actors intention to defend herself).
"Moloko" on the wine carton.
Viddy well my droogs. Viddy well.
I am afraid to ask, but... wine carton?
America does have boxed wine (just a bag of shitty wine in a cardboard box). But yeah, it's probably a wine bottle.
in OP, alwo cheap wine is sold in cartons in France or Italy
I read some years ago that in the Arabian version of Simpsons, Homer drinks lemonade instead of beer.
It's a movie, but when Sigourney Weaver's character says "Well, fuck that." and it's edited to say "Well, screw that." without changing how her mouth moves at all is about the funniest one I can think of.
(Galaxy Quest is the movie)
Supposedly that was one of a couple leftovers from a more R rated first cut.
Yippee ki-yay, Mr. Falcon!
South Park Season 1 Episode 7 (the episode where Cartman wears a Adolf Hitler costume for Halloween) was partially censored in Germany. Cartmans "Sieg Heil" was changed to "Wie Geil" (means "how cool"). I think the censoring there was actually funnier than the original.
Similarly, the episode titled "An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig" was supposed to be "An Elephant Fucks A Pig"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Elephant_Makes_Love_to_a_Pig#Production
Parker and Stone intended to call this episode "An Elephant Fucks a Pig", but changed the title under pressure from Comedy Central.
Selma can really pack away them hot dogs.
Dragon Ball, second episode. They removed the part when Goku removes Bulma's panties, affecting the events of the third episode.
In this case the uncensored version is much crazier.
Dragon Ball has so many censored scenes. I love it
Dragon ball did not age well. It's a classic nonetheless, but it's kind of awkward to watch at some points.
That's putting it really mildly.
I don't want to insult the fans, I how fans can be.
The version of From Dusk Till Dawn that aired on German TV with age 16+ rating was half an hour shorter and was cut so badly, it hardly even made sense anymore.
It's basically just a couple of dude(tte)s going to a gas station, then walking into a bar and starting to shoot at nothing for no reason.
That's not a movie that you can make TV appropriate.
I could look this up but what is with germany and blood censorship?
It's just different values. I could ask the same about the US and nudity. In German media, blood and violence is fine, but it's considered a topic that you need to be able to handle, so you need to have a certain age, depending on how gruesome that is.
Tbh, I'm European and therefore biased, but the way the united states have no problem with people harming other in media but being offended by something like "bodies" or "sex" does seem a little weird. Like, if my kids normalised harming others I'd be much more concerned than if they normalised making love.
Little story to that point: In 2000 I flew NWA from Europe to the states. That time they still showed the movie on a big screen in the front of the cabin. The movie that day was Gladiator.
The airline did not censor gore and violence even though children were also flying.
But of course there was no nudity to speak of in that movie at all.
There is nudity in the original, when emperor rapes his sister(?) and I believe there's other scenes as well. They usually showed the made for TV edit so that's probably why you didn't see.
Their solution for kids was to not give us headphones lol.
Watching TV:
Here in the EU it is offensive/inappropriate to kill people.
There in the US it is offensive/inappropriate to make people.
So the difference is whether to make love or to make war. Personally I'd rather be a bononbo than a chimpanzee.
