The BBFC is a non-governmental organization that is responsible for classifying films in the UK based on their content. It was established over 100 years ago and considers factors like violence, language, sexual content and more when rating films. The BBFC aims to restrict children from viewing inappropriate content and ensure they only watch age-appropriate movies. One film that was heavily cut by the BBFC was The Human Centipede 2, which they wanted to remove over 2 minutes of footage from due to its graphic and violent nature. If the filmmakers did not agree to these edits, the film would not have received a classification to be released in the UK.
