It's so weird to me that they censor movies for TV in the US. In Sweden they never do this, they just show a warning with an age rating for the movie at the beginning.
@ghost mall Honestly that movie was John Goodman's best performance in a movie. Sure he is great as Dan in Rosanne, but Walter in Big Lebowski has to be his best role.
The best edits were when they replaced the swearing with alternate PG-rated takes. A couple examples are in National Lampoon's Vacation where the guy Clark is asking directions from replies "What do I look like, Christopher Columbo?" and in Planes, Trains and Automobiles where Steve Martin performs a clean version of his famous tirade at the car rental agent without using a single F-bomb.
I always enjoy these type of "random" videos that James does. He knows how to take a somewhat obscure topic and make it an interesting/informative discussion.
My favorite TV edit is from Die Hard With a Vengence where John has to walk down Harlem with the sign saying "I Hate N-words", hard er and everything. The TV version changed the sign to "I Hate Everybody", making it seem borderline silly when he gets attacked for it
Great video. That Snakes on a Plane replacement dialogue is amazing. Ghostbusters was one of those films that had alternate scenes filmed for the TV version. For years I thought the version I taped off the telly had been redubbed but discovered only in the last few years that those scenes had actually been refilmed.
The great thing about the TV Scarface is they added tons of cutting room floor outtakes not in the original just to make up for all the things they had to cut out for the TV edit. Not even sure if any of this is available on all the Scarface releases over the years.
My favorite badly-dubbed for TV movie is The Big Hit. Their version of "monkey Fighting" is "motivator," and there's this scene where a stutterer bleeps it out over and over and over. The Faculty, with it's constant FLIP YOU! is pretty high up there, too.
I watched Die Hard 2 on TV a bunch of times in the 90's and the "Mr. Falcon" line always cracked me up. Don't even get me started on Die Hard 3 with the "I HATE EVERYBODY" sign lol.
@@cartmann94 also mad TV poked fun at it with the sopranos sketch. it was if pax tv(that channel that use to show wholesome stuff) played the sopranos. it was hilarious.
I still got the TV censored version of Spaceballs recorded on VHS. I used to watch it almost every night back in the 90's. It has just about every type of censoring throughout (alternate takes, overdubs, bleeps, silencing).
I didn't realize until very recently just how much was taken out of the original for the TV version. I saw the TV version probably a dozen or more times growing up.
I remember coming across a TV edit of Christmas vacation. They changed a TON of things. The most notable thing they did was mute the word "Jack Daniels" out of one of the lines Clark's father says. Clark's famous rant scene was also pretty hilariously muted too, with seemingly random sections of it muted out.
In the original cut, Falcon was General Esperanza's codename. But no one called him Mr. Falcon and it was never used again after Colonel Stewart picks up the General. Btw gotta love the Iran-Contra reference
The TV version of Demolition Man was something else since swearing was so integral to the humor of it. I had taped it off of TV and learned that they censored the audio but the closed captions were still intact. As far as extended scenes, I'm still looking for the TV edit of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective where Ace ends up in a bar looking for Ray Finkle (around the part where Ace ends up at Ray's parents place) and gets into a fight, so he takes out a contact lens and 'smashes' it to then use it as a weapon as if it was a broken bottle.
The TV edit of the "mirror scene" with Paul Rudd from the movie Wanderlust had me in tears. The original scene was hilarious itself, but when I saw it on TV I was dying.
A funny one is the Australian tv version of Raiders of the Lost Ark which i think aired on nine. They cut out the scene where the Nazis melt so in the tv version the ark just opens and then closes again and the Nazis are gone somehow. The strange thing is I remember seeing the uncensored version on tv as a kid meaning this was a more recent edit.
What’s funny is that in the episode “The Gang Gets Held Hostage” of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Frank quotes the censored version of Die Hard when he fires his gun to scare the McPoyle’s. The show’s creators have acknowledged that the joke there is that he’s only ever seen the TV edit 😹😹😹
I was super upset when I watched Shrek 2 on TV at my Grandma's like a year ago. They cut out the scene during the police chase where Donkey yells "POLICE BRUTALITY" as one of them puts a knee on his neck.
In the late 90s, I remember watching Summer School on like TBS with friends and I will never forget the line. After having enough of the students antics, the teacher said "Enough of this CHIPS". I have used that line in line so many times since then LOL
I once watched Casino on network TV. It was Joe Pesci walks into a room, Joe Pesci walks out of a room, entire scenes deleted. I got frustrated and just watched the uncensored streaming version on some streaming service. Why even bother showing a movie like that on TV if the entire plot is cut out?
Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny has a censored audio version on the DVD that is redubbed and they made sure to make it as hilarious as possible. Highly recommend it.
I think the TV edit of The Goonies also had added scenes depending on the screening. These weren't newly filmed parts they were parts that were taken out of the theater release but TV stations were allowed to use them to adjust the length of a movie by adding removing scenes like this!
I always wanted TV edits to be included with special edition DVD's and such. With the way streaming services work, it makes me wonder why TV edits couldn't be an option for movies that have them? Also, the best Joe Pecci movies are the ones where he has the most f-bombs in his dialogue.
@@A_Black_Sheep94 Sometimes it's the network, other times it's the filmmakers doing it. Bruce Campbell oversaw the TV edits for EVIL DEAD 2 and ARMY OF DARKNESS. But the TV network often buys exclusive rights, which is why they're not included on DVDs and Blu-Rays. (Some releases like SCARFACE and REPO MAN did include examples, tho).
On the television show "The Goldbergs", Adam was upset when the TV version of "Die Hard" edited John McLane to say "Yippee Kiy Yay, melon farmer!". Classic.
Sometimes that weird sound that they replaced swear words with on radio edits of songs is actually them reversing the line so it's being said backwards. When I was a kid I would always swear in reverse whenever necessary. "Let's kcuf this tihs up!"
TV edits are pretty ridiculous but as stated near the end of the video, at times they'll include deleted scenes that aren't on any home video or streaming release such as the TV version of The Goonies, Scary Movie or as mentioned Halloween and I believe these versions should be preserved by fans or released officially such as the Halloween 2 TV Version that came with the Shout! Factory release of the movie
Other than the censoring of a few profane words, the TV version of Army of Darkness is superior to the theatrical cut. For one, the scene where a clone of Ash grows out of himself makes a lot more since with some preceded added footage.
@@pepman423 Apparently, there's a couple of versions but most famously is the octopus scene. A scene literally referenced in the official movie thanks to a throwaway line at the very end.
Upon discovering it, I enjoyed the old TV edit to Smokey and the Bandit. Apparently, form what I’ve read, the censoring of “sumb*tch” to “scumbum” was pretty popular among younger viewers and even would quote it
When I bought the paperback of "Blazing Saddles", there were photos that never appeared in the actual show, including additional shots of Sheriff Bart outwitting Mongo. Years later on Network television, they showed a cut of Blazing Saddles where not only was the language censored, but scenes that never made it into the theatrical cut, to give it more length. After seeing those scenes put back in, I understood why they had been cut out, because they slowed the pacing of the film to me.
The worst I saw was Aragorn vs Lurtz being completely removed for violence. He just turns up, somehow Lurtz dies, then goes over to dying Boromir. Just think of all that hard work in training, shooting, and editing just to be deleted for TV sanitisation. The other was I, Robot, all of Spooner’s punchlines were cut for bad language which made none of those scenes making much sense.
Funnily enough I was speaking to a friend today about the "I hate EVERYONE" edit in Die Hard With A Vengeance... Definitely seems you guys in the US have far more edits than us though, have never seen a film with a redub but it sounds hilarious!
I use to watch a lot of R rated movies from the 80s and 90s on tv as a kid. You'd be able to watch that stuff on cable as a kid because the violence and language would be censored. Cant do that nowadays.
I remember there being a TV edit of The Lost World: Jurassic Park that featured an intro scene for Roland's character where he beats up some guys sexually harassing a waitress. I always thought that scene should've been in the actual movie because it does his character much more justice.
When I was a kid the funniest censorship was on TBS and TNT. The People Under the Stairs had some hilarious dubs. This video really took me back lol A list or countdown of the best/funniest dubs would be amazing!
"Enough is enough! I have had it with these monkey fighting snakes on this Monday through Friday plane!" -Sam Jackson, Snakes on a Plane (2006) - One of the BEST to this day!
One of my favorite instances of TV censorship is in the second resident evil movie. They use the word motivator as a replacement. "Motivator please, my stuff is custom."
For many years, I've watched the censored version of Terminator 2. There were a few scenes where stronger swears were edited out. The edits in those spots were always a little bit... well, felt unnatural, as if something was skipped.
Or Wu-Tang using all the sound effects like ringing bells, swords clashing, record scratches etc... Always found those versions more impactful and entertaining LOL.
When I had a radio show years ago, I could only play the music I wanted to after 9pm, due to CRTC profanity rules. Also, Netflix and Disney + do have edited versions of some things, not often language but other little things like the washing machine being turned into a pizza box in Lilo and Stitch. Side note - your version of ET would be so much better!
Years ago i remember a tv advert for die hard 2 , it went something like : The movie you’ve see so many times you know it backwards “akcuf ahtum aayik eepiy” explosion . Best advert ever , and I will never see it ever again unless someone from the UK taped it from ITV .
I remember when I overheard Goodfellas playing on tv, I heard the audio being constantly changed and thought something was wrong with the tv. I found out it was because of the swears.
As a kid, I watched a lot of movies and sometimes would catch the cable edited versions. I would watch certain movies to see what the differences were in the dialogue, sorta like a game.
I remember seeing the tv edited version of Dumb and Dumber, Terminator 2, Scar Face, From Dusk Till Dawn, My Cousin Vinny, Die Hard with Avengance, Pulp Fiction and about 5 other movies. Some of the edits are comical. Great topic for a video.
There's a STII scene that was in the TV edit but not on the VHS. It got restored in the DVD, I think, but it annoyed me because for years I had watched a VHS version taped off the TV. When I got the official movie on VHS, it was missing what I felt was an important scene.
Another kinda similar dying trend is movies getting renamed in different languages. In norwegian for example, 'Die Hard' is called 'Operation Skyscraper'.
@@anueutsuho7425 No, the Italian title of "Megalon" is "To the Limits of Reality." Maybe you're thinking of the movie's title in Spain, "Gorgo and Superman Meet in Tokyo"?
My favorite TV censorship has to be Dodgeball. The scene where Ben Stiller is driving off riding shotgun on a mo-pad while flipping off Vince Vaughn is turned into a scene where he's just intensely holding up a balled fist and death staring him as he leaves.
This happened to many of the movies back in the 80's and 90's here in Australia. They would show a big movie on the tv on sunday nights and there would be full chunks of the show missing. Even the TV programs like Dr Who would be missing fights and the horror scenes.
do the japanese people in the factory scene talking japanese? becase in the hungarian dub all the japanese people talking... hungarian, but using words and talking in a way that SOUNDS like japanese :D
The censored death in "Return of the Joker" was ten times scarier and more violent than the uncensored version... but at least they didn't have any guns...
Surprised you didn't mention the MEGA famous Robocop TV edit, James. That thing is SO golden that "Arrow" sourced it and shoved it on the new Blu/4K discs.
The edit for snakes on a plane.. (at least the main line) was actually pretty seamless audio wise.. but words they used were what made your ears go 'what the funcoland?!?'

Like comedian Bill Hick once said: "You either show the movie [on TV] as the filmmakers intended it to be, or don't show it at all."
Bill Hicks forever ❤️ RIP
"I"VE HAD IT WITH THE MONKEY FRIGHTING SNAKES ON THIS MONDAY TO FRIDAY PLANE"
i love this
When I was a kid the funniest censorship was on TBS and TNT. The People Under the Stairs had some hilarious dubs. This video really took me back lol
A list or countdown of the best/funniest dubs would be amazing!
I remember "shut the FAITH up" People Under the Stairs
@@jmartin1774 yes! lol
"Enough is enough! I have had it with these monkey fighting snakes on this Monday through Friday plane!" -Sam Jackson, Snakes on a Plane (2006) - One of the BEST to this day!
One of my favorite instances of TV censorship is in the second resident evil movie. They use the word motivator as a replacement. "Motivator please, my stuff is custom."
@@JamesJohnson-tr1gu A fellow man of culture.
@@JamesJohnson-tr1gu that is a motivator
For many years, I've watched the censored version of Terminator 2. There were a few scenes where stronger swears were edited out. The edits in those spots were always a little bit... well, felt unnatural, as if something was skipped.
Sometimes with DMX on the radio it can be entertaining hearing the extra WHATs and UH-HUHs and barking thrown in to cover the profanity
Or Wu-Tang using all the sound effects like ringing bells, swords clashing, record scratches etc... Always found those versions more impactful and entertaining LOL.
The censored version of "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" was always hilarious to watch. It had an additional scene in it as well.
When I had a radio show years ago, I could only play the music I wanted to after 9pm, due to CRTC profanity rules. Also, Netflix and Disney + do have edited versions of some things, not often language but other little things like the washing machine being turned into a pizza box in Lilo and Stitch. Side note - your version of ET would be so much better!
One of the more infamous ones was covering up the mermaid's back in Splash.
the edit in Lilo & Stitch was done for the uk release.
A lot of those edits are for THE MESSAGE these days.
The Lilo pizza box one is a charming throwback.
Nobody's caring sir
I love these videos of James talking about stuff!
The Robocop 4k limited edition came with the TV edits from the 90's and I love it.
Adding that to my shopping list 😏
Years ago i remember a tv advert for die hard 2 , it went something like :
The movie you’ve see so many times you know it backwards “akcuf ahtum aayik eepiy” explosion .
Best advert ever , and I will never see it ever again unless someone from the UK taped it from ITV .
I remember when I overheard Goodfellas playing on tv, I heard the audio being constantly changed and thought something was wrong with the tv. I found out it was because of the swears.
It's a conspiracy to make you buy a new TV
@@sergiowinter5383 I wouldn't be surprised
De Niro arguing over the phone with Joe Pantoliano in Midnight Run is another hilarious one. Practically the whole conversation had to be dubbed over.
Yippee kie yay, Mr. Falcon! I wish that we could still get ahold of these "tv edit" copies of the films... 😆
This is hands down the best TH-cam video I've ever seen. How do we get you an Oscar for this dude? 🤣
As a kid, I watched a lot of movies and sometimes would catch the cable edited versions. I would watch certain movies to see what the differences were in the dialogue, sorta like a game.
I remember seeing the tv edited version of Dumb and Dumber, Terminator 2, Scar Face, From Dusk Till Dawn, My Cousin Vinny, Die Hard with Avengance, Pulp Fiction and about 5 other movies. Some of the edits are comical. Great topic for a video.
There's a STII scene that was in the TV edit but not on the VHS. It got restored in the DVD, I think, but it annoyed me because for years I had watched a VHS version taped off the TV. When I got the official movie on VHS, it was missing what I felt was an important scene.
ST:TMP had extra scenes on TV, too.
@@KasumiKenshirou True, but it did not annoy me as much as I only watched it once or twice on TV. I close to memorized STII:TWOK from the TV edit.
The minute I saw the title of this episode, I immediately thought of the "Mr. Falcon" line. Thank you for not disappointing me.
Another kinda similar dying trend is movies getting renamed in different languages. In norwegian for example, 'Die Hard' is called 'Operation Skyscraper'.
Or even worse: Godzilla vs Megalon was renamed in Italy to "King Kong vs Superman"
@@anueutsuho7425 No, the Italian title of "Megalon" is "To the Limits of Reality." Maybe you're thinking of the movie's title in Spain, "Gorgo and Superman Meet in Tokyo"?
@@ConstantineFurman Oh, yes, you're right. I apologize for the error.
@@anueutsuho7425 Not at all!
My favorite TV censorship has to be Dodgeball. The scene where Ben Stiller is driving off riding shotgun on a mo-pad while flipping off Vince Vaughn is turned into a scene where he's just intensely holding up a balled fist and death staring him as he leaves.
I remember hearing a QOTSA song in the radio and they silenced the line 'I blow my load over the status quo '. Still makes me laugh
Do you know what song it was?
Smooth Sailing
@@randdomize858 Thank you!
This happened to many of the movies back in the 80's and 90's here in Australia. They would show a big movie on the tv on sunday nights and there would be full chunks of the show missing. Even the TV programs like Dr Who would be missing fights and the horror scenes.
The most hilarious one was the shitake mushroom scene from austin powers. It gets replaced with "dung" and "dungeness crab."
do the japanese people in the factory scene talking japanese? becase in the hungarian dub all the japanese people talking... hungarian, but using words and talking in a way that SOUNDS like japanese :D
If AVGN videos were censored using bleeps, the whole video would sound like a Morse-code transmission
No Showgirls? That has to be the most epic TV version ever
I see this and all I can think about is Monty Python's "I Bet You They Won't Play This Song On The Radio."
Censoring an R-rated movie is like going to a library and complaining that it's not loud enough.
'Yippie ki-yah maggot farter!'
That's a Nerd line right there
The censored death in "Return of the Joker" was ten times scarier and more violent than the uncensored version... but at least they didn't have any guns...
Surprised you didn't mention the MEGA famous Robocop TV edit, James. That thing is SO golden that "Arrow" sourced it and shoved it on the new Blu/4K discs.
The edit for snakes on a plane.. (at least the main line) was actually pretty seamless audio wise.. but words they used were what made your ears go 'what the funcoland?!?'
I... I think I'd actually like to SEE some monkey-fighting snakes in that film. Tiny tactical gear, and everything. XD
