Films that were pre-cut before submission to the censors
are included here. Such titles are listed as ORIGINAL VERSIONS in the OFLC
database making identification extremely difficult. This practice was
widespread during the 1970's, though thankfully now it is rare. Recent
titles that were cut in this way include the two Hentai titles, CAMPUS and
GIRL NEXT DOOR.
The practice is however still rife when it comes to the submission of
Hardcore titles. This has been particularly so since the 2000 tightening
of the guidelines.
Titles that were the subject of controversy, but
not censorship. These include films such as HAIL MARY and THE LAST
TEMPTATION OF CHRIST.
Compilations such as ZOMBIETHON and SCREAM GREATS which
contain footage the OFLC had previously censored.
Films that were released in different versions because
of distributor ignorance or laziness.
Overseas (BBFC or MPAA) censored prints that have been
dumped on the Australian market.
These final two categories are covered in much greater
depth here
and here.
