It's interesting that, in countries with insane censorship laws (like Malaysia, where I grew up), editing movies and TV shows for "inappropriate" content (often with REALLY bad editing that sticks out worse than any graphic scene could), is a really common practice for TV stations and movie theaters. For example, when "Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers" was aired in Malaysia, every occurance of the word "morphin' " was cut out, even in the theme song (and the corresponding words in the title were blanked out), for fear that innocent kids would mistake it for the drug "morphine" (!!!). When I saw "Resident Evil: Apocalypse" in a Malaysian theater, there were very obvious (and very distracting) cuts all over the place. (The movie was so bad anyway that I never bothered to find out what I missed.) In Singapore, particularly graphic movies are often released twice in theaters -- a sanitized version first, followed by the uncut version rated R-21 (21 and above).

I wonder what movie producers would say about that.
