18 certificate films - more around than usual

I think they released all four films in a special boxset a couple of years back and Batman Returns was given a 12 for that release, with some minor edits to fit the rating.

I got the Region 1 version of the boxset though so I can't be sure. This is just what I heard.
 
I have a Batman Returns on VHS and its a 15. But I think the 12 version has cut out the scene where Catwoman places the aerosol cans in the microwave before the department store explodes.

The uncut version is always being shown on TV.
 
I don't know what neighbourhood you live in but I've certainly never witnessed anyone get stabbed in my area.. Or the internet for that matter!
 
i agree that it might not be the filmakers fault but feel the censors are under pressure to lower the certificates for money !they want have a greater audience for the films as possible and if its an 18 they wont make as much as a 15 cert or even lower with a restricted audience !!
 
Same here, never witnessed a thing like stabbing at all where I am.

Although, didn't witness it since it was years ago, but a few metres down the road from our village a man murdered someone with a shotgun on his farm...
