Does anyone know if there are wav files of this scene available? I found the one where George pulls the gun on his banker, and now I'm trying to find the cussing censored car scene. Thanks, I'm gonna go pull out my old VHS copy and watch this again.
shareWhat was with that scene?

i saw the movie about an hour ago on HBO West (i have DirectTV). its the scene in the movie that takes place during george's first night on the job and they are arguing about something (i can't remember what they were arguing about.) for some strange reason there were some curse words bleeped out. would they bleep it out to make it a PG-13 movie or to avoid getting an R rating?
shareAnd at the very end of that cuss scene Ted drops the f bomb. Maybe a pg-13 can have just one f bomb and that's where they put it.
It was pretty silly, but it made me laugh when he finally said it.

To avoid an R rating you can use the F-word no more than once.
shareI doubt that it had anything to do with R vs PG rating... This movie had odd moments of humor mixed in with a cop story. Plus, the narration style speaks to me of a "Ferris Beuler's Day Off" type thing.
The "bleeps" used were sort of comical noises, not the sort of thing used for actual hiding off cuss words in a serious manner. IMO it was satire of many different cop movies including the vulgar language of "Beverly Hills Cop" etc. If this were an attempt to gain a safer rating, they would have simply re-shot the scene or editted it out of the movie

Sorry but you're incorrect. It was purely done to bring the rating down in the US - in the UK, it was released at the cinema in it's unedited form, with swearing intact, garnering it an either '18' or a 15 certification, I can't recall which. When it was subsequently released on VHS, they released the Americanised 'bleeped' version and it had a lower cert on video. From what I recall the American release at the cinema had the bleeps added to first off bring the rating down - they did it however in a comical way to make the edited scene seem as if it was part of the comedy, despite the actual intention.
Give me a hedgehog and I'll show you.
Yeah, UK cinema version had no bleeps, VHS did. was not happy when I got the Tape. Still, bloody amusing film though!!!

In an PG 13 movie you can have about one or two f-words, depending on the subject matter, the scene was deliberatly censored, which helped making it so damn funny! But it was done, because as all of you know a PG 13 is easier to be marketed than a R rated film! but if you think about some of the rather bloody shoot outs, why in the hell did this movie got an PG 13 and other action flicks comparable to this get an R?
But hey, the american rating system is much much better than the german system, at least in your country they don't bann action or horror movies, because they violate the law, with there obscene and repulsive violent content!
It took my dvd dealer six weeks to get Zombi Holocaust, only because it is banned in germany, it don't get it why!?!
I don't want to loose the point!
*beep*! sad the worm, because he realised he never will be able to wipe his butt!;)
I've always wondered about this as I've seen different versions through time.
I've seen both the uncensored and censored versions of the topic in question but there is another scene that has been different from time to time to. In the kidnapped sequence where Kuffs (Mr Slater) talks to us and his dog through the tape around his mouth we get subtitles on the screen informing us of what he is trying to commuincate to us and the dog which makes the scene really funny but I've also seen this part of the movie without subtitles which makes the scene just seem out of place and stupid.
Guess it has to do with different distributors releasing different versions over time. Still it's one of my favourite Christian Slater movies along with Pump Up The Volume.
That scene always cracked me up.
