British twist well pack your bags and
take a trip to watch mojo UK for even
more bloody brilliant content for this
list the films have been banned for
reasons that were shocking
not because the films themselves were
shocking number 10 Goldfinger you expect
me to talk
now who Mr Bond I expect you to die of
all the Bond films that have come and
gone over the years fewer as iconic as
auric Goldfinger played by German actor
Goethe foe but the character was a
nefarious and calculating businessman
obsessed with all things gold all my
life I’ve been in love it’s color
brilliance it’s divine heaviness
unfortunately throb has past had a
blemish on it of the worst kind he had
been a member of the Nazi Party from
1929 to 1937 this led to Israel banning
the film in protest of robust
participation
however years later it was revealed that
frou Bajada helped a family of German
born Jews escape the Gestapo redeemed in
the eyes of Israelis the film’s ban was
eventually lifted
I must arrange to separate my gold from
the name mr. solo number 9 Zoolander
here in Malaysia there is no most
overwhelming sense of euphoria as the
newly elected prime minister
[Applause]
a word to the wise if you’re making a
film about brainwashed male models used
to assassinate world leaders and you
want one of them to kill the progressive
new prime minister of a country that
uses sweatshop labor just make up a
fictional nation of course Ben Stiller’s
2001 comedy about exactly that went in a
different direction the film refers to
Malaysia as a country dependent on
sweatshops and forced child labor the
real Malaysia was understandably upset
and promptly banned the film deeming it
quote unsuitable the film was also
banned in neighboring Singapore but they
reversed their position in 2006 giving
the film an NC 16 rating but you can
help these children terror by killing
the Prime Minister of Malaysia number 8
Who Framed Roger Rabbit a box-office
smash that combined elements of both
live-action and animation to great
effect Who Framed Roger Rabbit was
enjoyed around the world well except in
China that is as of 2006 the country has
a ban in place that doesn’t allow
foreign made films that combine live
action with animation the reason they
want to promote Chinese animators while
simultaneously stemming the flow of
foreign made cartoons into their country
[Music]
if they’re trying to cultivate a
domestic industry you’d think they’d
want as much inspiration as they could
get although it might be this law
removes Roger Rabbit from the shelves
and television broadcasts don’t do
number 7 Barney’s great adventure there
aren’t any real dinosaurs anymore
oh it’s real is your imagination
Malaysia is at it again
Barney’s great adventure is a musical
based on the insanely popular children’s
show Barney and Friends that either you
or one of your younger siblings
definitely watch growing up the show
revolves around a purple dinosaur named
Barney who taught kids educational
messages through the magic of song and
dance
[Music]
so blood rain that would be it’s
literally the most harmless premise in
the world and the film functioned in
much the same way however Malaysian
officials felt that the film was
unsuitable for children
yikes this rate Malaysia is going to be
in all of our entries
[Music]
number six ghostbusters never been good
in the fight okay
this film wasn’t necessarily banned per
se but it was never released in this
country which gives you pretty much the
same result Ghostbusters the all-female
reboot of the popular 80’s film
franchise of the same name never saw the
light of day in China why you ask
well as it turns out the original wasn’t
given a theatrical release there either
and using that logic Chinese officials
who have a habit of turning away films
that depict spirits and ghosts declared
that the film wasn’t really attractive
to audiences in China for a film already
struggling with a resistant fanbase and
a lot of online hate the loss of China
likely really hurt this is not good
number five The Simpsons Movie
everybody in this theater is a giant
sucker it’s specially you we only need
one word to describe why the Simpsons
movie was banned and that word is colors
that’s right
according to a 2013 article by the LA
Times the film based on the iconic and
long-running animated TV series about a
dysfunctional yellow family from
Springfield somewhere was banned in
Myanmar or Burma because of two colors
red and yellow you see the country
doesn’t allow these two colors to be
shown in any of its films which as you
can probably guess was a big problem for
a film about people with bright yellow
skin the reason behind this color
specific ban has never been identified
making it all the more bizarre
number four 2012 you out of your mind if
it were not for the fact that North
Korea was behind this film ban you
probably wouldn’t believe it the Hermit
Kingdom banned this roland emmerich
disaster flick due to its negative
portrayal of the year 2012 you see in
North Korea 2012 was the hundredth
anniversary of Kim il-sung’s birth and
seeing how he is the nation’s founder
it’s kind of a big deal
the country deemed the film subject
matter offensive and made possessing and
or viewing 2012 a crime if they thought
this was bad imagine how they felt when
Seth Rogen dropped the interview on them
a few years later you know what’s more
destructive than a nuclear bomb words
number three Wonder Woman
no wrath upon this world is over proving
that a female led superhero flick could
do just as well if not better than those
led entirely by men
Wonder Woman finished 2017 in the top 10
of the highest-grossing films of the
year however the film might have landed
just a little higher and it not been
banned in Lebanon and Tunisia the two
Middle Eastern countries refused to show
the film because star gal gadot is an
Israeli citizen all of you know Shane
Godot was born and raised in Israel and
even served in the military for two
years
what makes this band so peculiar is that
her previous work in the Fast & Furious
films was not banned weird you don’t
send a man to do a man’s job number two
some like it hot the classic Billy
Wilder rom-com that featured the
all-star trio of Marilyn Monroe Tony
Curtis and Jack Lemmon was apparently a
little too hot for the state of Kansas
years later people are still debating
why exactly got banned some argue that
certain scenes were simply too steamy
but most agree that it was likely the
cross-dressing the plot revolves around
a couple of on the lam musicians who
dress in drag in order to obey their
mafioso pursuers
[Music]
I’m gonna keep their balance seeing as
how it came out in 1959 a time when
cross-dressing
wasn’t exactly part of the course some
places found the film subject matter to
be a little too risque dynamite you’re a
pretty hot little firecracker yourself
number one back to the future how could
a film as innocent as this one be banned
sure there’s the underage drinking a
young boy in an elderly man with an
undefined relationship and the
suggestion of some potential mother-son
incest but that’s it or my pants oddly
enough when China banned the film in
2011 it wasn’t for any of those reasons
nope
the 80s classic was banned because the
country doesn’t allow the depiction of
time-travel in any of its films because
it quote disrespects history you can’t
make this stuff up all films and TV
shows that feature people hopping in
time machines and venturing backwards
and forwards are no longer allowed talk
about heavy whoa this is heavy do you
