Quite a leap
It went from a PG-13 in the US(12) but somehow warranted an 18 in Britain.
shareDid Britain show an unedited version? Does one exist?
shareEvery British channel I've watched this on has been the full 18 rated DVD version except for one and that was toned down rather than edited. British channels are only obliged to edit mature content if it's being shown before the eight O'clock watershed even though some choose to do it anyway.
I've had a lot of sobering thoughts in my time Del Boy, it's them that started me drinking!
The BBFC never asked for any cuts to be made and passed it 18 with a runtime of 'approx 92 minutes' so it doesn't have any additional footage. The rating was given for 'strong violence and torture'. The BBFC will frequently give a higher rating based on violence than the MPAA. A case of different standards of cultural taboos between the two countries.
