Chromeskull - Laid To Rest 2 Chromeskull - Laid To Rest 2 is a 2011 US slasher horror by Robert Hall
Starring Brian Austin Green, Thomas Dekker and Mimi Michaels
There are no UK/US censorship issues with this release
The German version was ridiculously edited for violence by 9 minutes in order to get a FSK-18 rating, pretty much every death scene is shortened to reduce the blood and gore. Uncut version is soft-banned (put on the BPjM Index B list which means
medium chances of being confiscated down the road). Summary Notes "ChromeSkull" is the sequel to the 2009 horror hit "Laid to Rest." It brings back ChromeSkull, who barely escaped
death in the first movie and is hell-bent on continuing where he left off... and forging a new path of terror and destruction.

maniac... hes part of something much more terrifying. Directed once again by Robert Hall, Chromeskull: Laid to Rest 2 raises the stakes with more blood, more lore, and even more inventive kills. Featuring genre favourites Brian Austin Green and Danielle

Cuts justified by the BBFC as follows: More problematic was Showgirls, an expose of the seamy side of Las Vegas, with a prurient emphasis on exploitative nudity, which was not only the subject of the film but its main
selling point. In such a context, the sadistic gang rape of the only wholly sympathetic character in the film seemed unnecessarily extended and sensationalised. The rape was trimmed for cinema, and trimmed further for video, since the price of the rape
could be adequately conveyed by the sight of the battered and bleeding victim. See pictorial cuts details from
movie-censorship.com. The cuts are all in the scene where Carver and friends rape Molly as mentioned above:
- Carver slapping and punching Molly just before we see Molly being pushed back on the bed.
- Carver slapping Molly's rear, then a second man starting to rape her
- Then shots of Carver and 2 friends abusing Molly
- A final shot of
Molly grimacing from the continuing torment.

To Kill a War Machine To Kill a War Machine is a 2025 UK documentary by Hannan Majid, Richard York
Starring Huda Ammori, Richard Barnard and Shezana Hafiz
Originally uncut and BBFC 15 rated for a 2025 cinema release, but was banned a month later following the UK government ban of the campaign group Palestine Action. Summary
Notes A documentary about the activist group Palestine Action.
Versions
banned
|  | UK: Banned by BBFC
- 2025 Rainbow Collective cinema release (banned from 04/07/2025)
The BBFC commented: To Kill a War Machine is a British documentary about the group Palestine Action, who were proscribed under the Terrorism Act 2000 with effect from 5 July 2025. The film was originally classified
15 uncut for cinema release on 5 June 2025, before the group was proscribed. Given the proscription of the organisation, and in accordance with legal advice, further distribution or exhibition of To Kill a War Machine is likely to constitute an offence
under the Terrorism Act 2000. As such, the classification for this film was revoked on 4 July 2025. BBFC Guidelines and policy state that we will not classify material which is in breach of the criminal law.
The film makers, Rainbow
Collective, also took down an online release, saying in a statement: Following the vote in the House of Commons on 2nd July 2025 to proscribe Palestine Action, Rainbow Collective have taken the difficult decision to
temporarily take down the online version of our film, To Kill a War Machine and authorise no further screenings of the film until further notice. As filmmakers with 20 years of experience documenting movements for social justice
around the world, we produced To Kill a War Machine independently, within the law and had it certified for cinema release by the BBFC. The film itself does not become illegal, as it was produced and edited prior to proscription. However, future
distribution of anything which could be interpreted as showing sympathy for or inviting support for a proscribed organisation will become illegal. It has always been Rainbow Collective's intention to tell critical and truthful
stories with integrity. We never want our documentaries to expose our audiences or communities to danger from the state and, as such, the film will remain unavailable until we have absolute legal assurance that it can be distributed within the law.
Mike comments: This seems to be the first documentary caught by the Terrorism Act 2000. The Act was mainly directed at the time at material published by proscribed organisations themselves or their
supporters, and then later, when internet communication advanced, it started to be applied to social media posts. It's been claimed that the legal problems for To Kill a War Machine stem from the fact that it's one-sided. It
showcases the views of Palestine Action, allows them to defend their position and tactics at length, and doesn't include opinions from dissenting sources. That's not quite true though. Even if it had been more balanced it would still have breached the
Terrorism Act, which makes illegal speech which expresses an opinion or belief that is supportive of a proscribed organisation. Even a single opinion is enough, regardless of whether it's challenged and alternative perspectives offered.
An interesting parallel is with the 2003 documentary Jenin Jenin (Mohammad Bakri), which dealt with armed confrontations between Israeli soldiers and Palestinians in the West Bank city of Jenin. It takes the Palestinian side
and doesn't consider opposing views from Israelis. This was never submitted to the BBFC but has occasionally been publicly shown in the UK. Had it been intended to defend the views of a proscribed organisation it would have been just as illegal to
publish/show as To Kill a War Machine. But it was designed to support the position of the Palestine Liberation Organisation, which is of course not on the banned list.
