"And next on Channel Four - Footloose. Viewers are advised that this film contains scenes of violence""What? I can't remember there being any violence in Footloose."
"Ah, yes," I reply, "That's because it the director's cut. Feet are actually severed."
"Oh. Right. Turn it over, I don't think I actually want to see that."
"Then there's the director's cut of Dirty Dancing."
"OK, I'll take the bait. Which one is that, then?"
"They put back the 'Paddling pool filled with mud' scene with Susie Dent out of Countdown. Oh yes."
"You lie."

Footloose. I remember that. For ages afterwards, I wasn't keen to drive any tractors, lest the shoelace of my sneaker get caught around the accelerator pedal. Again.
Severed feet might actually have improved Footloose.
Pfh! It kind of lost it's pzazz during the French release under the title '0.3048metre lâche".
Erin's right. so long as the foot-severing happened right at the beginning, preventing all the enormously prolonged dancing scenes. The film's title would still be a good match...
Getting nicely close to the "Sarah Beeny wrestling Kirstie Allsopp in a paddling pool filled with baby oil" type of blog posts again.
Hurrah :)
Actually, I got the DELETED SCENES EXTRA for the Dirty Dancing flick for my gf. I had a quick peek home alone before wrapping it in. It's softcore!
