make sure to check out our first list on
this subject number 10 South Park bigger
Longer & uncut Eric did you just say the
f-word Jim we start off our list with a
bit of Hollywood irony released during
its first few years of insane popularity
the South Park movie was meant to be a
satire of censorship and sensitivity as
the parents of South Park decide to go
to war with Canada for releasing a
foul-mouthed and raunchy cartoon movie
just remember what the MPAA says
horrific deplorable violence is okay as
long as people don’t say any naughty
words with the humor lost many the film
was subject to tons of controversy and
bent in most of Asia and the Middle East
especially due to the depiction of the
then still alive Saddam Hussein as
Satan’s gay lover this sucks the only
thing that matters to you have you
number nine The Last House on the Left
from hilarity to utter horror the
controversy surrounding this film was no
surprise horror films especially in the
70s were geared towards shocking
audiences and Wes Craven’s debut feature
is no different a brutal and graphic
story of rape and revenge The Last House
on the Left was often released heavily
edited or banned outright especially in
the UK where it was refused a
certificate of release gaining momentum
as part of the video nasties censorship
it was always a cult favourite but the
uncut version remained banned in the UK
well into the 90s
number eight All Quiet on the Western
Front when it comes to dying for your
country it’s better not to die at all an
oscar-winning critically acclaimed war
film from 1930 is not what one thinks of
when they think about censorship but
while it was revered and applauded in
the u.s. the reception to this heavily
anti-war film was not very warm in
Europe more notably Adolf Hitler banned
the film in Germany for most of his
reign well how do they start a war the
few screenings they manage to sneak in
were interrupted by members of the Nazi
Party attacking moviegoers releasing
mice into the theater and throwing
sneezing powder and stink bombs into the
audience I think maybe the Kaiser wanted
a war number 7 Indiana Jones and the
Temple of Doom what a vivid imagination
Hollywood mega productions are no
strangers to possible censorship either
no matter how many bigshot producers are
overlooking the production the second
Indiana Jones film was obviously a huge
success for Steven Spielberg and George
Lucas however it was criticized for
being very dark and violent spearheading
the creation of a pg-13 rating it also
received heavy criticism for its
depiction of Indian culture and Hinduism
which led to a temporary ban in India
particularly its views of Indian cuisine
led to many blaming the film for
propagating negative stereotypes number
6 the Evil Dead the original Cabin in
the Woods Fright Fest indie underdog Sam
Raimi had no initial expectations of
wide release and made the film as gory
as possible the low-budget splatter film
about a group of friends being attacked
by demonic entities began to pick up
momentum however and ended up with an X
rating and labeled a video nasty in the
UK but the rise of home video could not
stop its popularity and while still
banned in some countries it is
considered one of the most respected and
influential horror films of all time
number five
eat eat the extra-terrestrial Spielberg
is at it again but many will be racking
their brains trying to find out why this
film was banned from any country et is
considered by many to be one of the best
family films of all time a huge
blockbuster that all children should
watch teaching them about acceptance
friendship and fighting against the man
well that last little life lesson upset
the censors in Norway Finland and Sweden
so much that they decided to ban the
kid-friendly sci-fi film their main
reason depicting adults as enemies to a
group of children
[Applause]
number four a Serbian film while the
previous one was tricky to figure out
the reason for banning this film are
obvious to anyone who dared watch it
pornography brutal violence necrophilia
pedophilia you name it this film has it
in spades
the story of an aging porn star who
agrees to work on an experimental film
quickly tells into the darkest recesses
of humanity apparently as a criticism to
Serbian political correctness in cinemas
bustin banned in multiple countries
including Brazil Spain and Australia it
also has the supposed claim of being the
only film refused by Netflix service
components number three the wolf of
wallstreet a film about extreme
corruption and debauchery this Martin
Scorsese biographical black comedy was
pretty much guaranteed some backlash
thanks to a story following notorious
scammer and wall street fraudster Jordan
Belfort but maybe not outright banning I
want you to deal with the problems by
becoming rich it has achieved cult
status for its excessive drug use
profanity and sexual explicitness the
critically acclaimed film also earned
its record as the film with the most
f-bombs in a mainstream movie was all
this legal absolutely not all these
reasons cause the film to be banned in
Malaysia Nepal Zimbabwe and Kenya while
India only allowed for a heavily edited
version to be released
I will not die solver number 2 The
Exorcist
released in the early 1970s it is
shocking how this horror movie still
strikes a chord with many film fans
it’s brutal depiction of demonic
possession is still considered
disturbing by today’s standards
therefore it is no surprise this
oscar-winning classic movie although
rated R was thought by Roger Ebert
worthy of an ex and moviegoers were
offered barf bags
although initially available on home
video in the UK the 1984 video
recordings act refused it classification
banning the film and pulling all copies
for over a decade the film remained
unavailable in the UK until its
cinematic re-release in 1998 before
coming to Home Video in 1999 and before
we reveal our top pick here are a few
honorable mentions all things are good
when carried to excess number one the
interview is heinous cuz they anus the
haters cuz we penis we all know that
North Korea is not a fan of Western
culture and entertainment and they often
find what many would consider ridiculous
excuses to ban films for instance the
2009 disaster film 2012 was banned
simply because of the negative
connotation towards the 100th
anniversary of their nation’s founders
birth in the titular year however a
comedy about assassinating their current
supreme leader did not make anyone laugh
instead the Seth Rogen and James Franco
starring satire was called out as an act
of war before even being released and
sparked a whirlwind of drama this
included a supposed hack of Sony
Pictures major chains refusing to show
it and cancel premieres under the threat
of war you know what’s more destructive
than a nuclear bomb words do you agree
