The BBFC would have been fine for the film to go out at 15 completely uncut so it's not a case of director's intent and the BBFC stifling it, it's actually completely the opposite especially where big blockbusters are concerned.
yes im aware its money, was just a comment
Then they release it on dvd / blu ray then few week/ month later again with the added bits or as they call it the bits censored or to rude to be shown at the cinema, their not stupid but its wrong and just a piss take really . .
