Hi, That was the one thing that always amazed me about American culture, (I'm a Brit :) I watched a copy of "Robocop" that was aired on American TV, and besides the ad breaks every 15-20 mins, the think that really amazed us, (and provoked quite a lot of laughter/bafflement into the bargain) was that compared to the version that was eventually cleared for distribution in the UK. The American TV version had left all the violence in, (including the one really gory shot, where he gets his hand blown off with a shotgun...) and taken the swearing out! Which was fairly suprising, because I figured you'd have done it the other way around, certainly in the UK, the left the swearing, (and hence many of the jokes :) in, and cut out some of the violence, (like the had scene for one) So if Hollywood feels the need to create more violent films, they'll proabaly get away with it, provided the characters/actors don't swear while they're doing it... ;P later jb
