The cut that still bewilders me is the placing of the rat in the pink
breathing solution in THE ABYSS. The BBFC (British Board of
Film Censors/Certificators) claims they required that cut because
of trauma to the rat.

Uh, didn't they realize the rat had already been placed in the
pink liquid when the movie was filmed? :-)

And it's a rat, fer crissakes.
