‘Deadpool’ In Trouble Overseas, Banned in China & Edited in India

It looks like the Deadpool movie's violence and dirty mouth, not to mention sex, are getting his movie into trouble lately. It is Rated R, a movie for adults, so that should probably be not a big deal, right? But not all countries share the same standpoint with the United States when it comes to movies. China even banned Deadpool because of violence, nudity and graphic language. Now India has some problems with the movie as well.

Every country and culture has its own standards. In this case, what was suitable for the U.S. is not appropriate for these markets. According to dnaIndia, Pahlaj Nihalani , chief of the Censor Board of Film Certification, says the cuts made for Indian audiences didn't affect the development of the storyline.

He said, "We have made very general cuts. If you look at what has happened to Deadpool in China, it was apparently banned because any number of cuts was seen to hamper the storyline of the film. I can assure you the cuts we've requested in no way affect the storytelling."

Deadpool is not the first movie to be banned or need editing in the overseas markets. James Cameron's Avatar was banned in China, as well Angelina Jolie's Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life. Even Spectre was edited in India, especially the movie's kissing scenes.

Being banned in the world's second-largest movie market could hurt Deadpool's profit a lot. Will the edits affect Deadpool's revenue in India? What do you think?

Check out some clips from the movie and decide for yourself if it is really too much.
