The British Board of Film Classification has demanded a cut in Ep2 AOTC for a head-butt. I don't know which is more extreme: UK viewers insisting on viewing the US version (http://www.r2-dvd.org/article.jsp?sectionId=3&articleId=4032) for 1 second of extra film, or that a 1 second cut means the difference between a '12' (~PG-13) and a 'PG' certificate. For some reason the distributors must think fewer people would see the film if it was a '12'. The film report is on the BBFC website."

Typical of the stuff shirt brigade I'm afraid. The nanny state lives on.

A head butt was enough to push it into 12?!?

I'll be the the first to ask, what's a 12? Is that the equivilant to our pg-13? Seems odd as more people over on this side of the pond would probably want to see it if it was PG-13 than just PG.
