TO SIR WITH LOVE was banned because it offended them that a person of colour was teaching a class of white kids,

The Apartheid censor board might be relieved to learn that this scenario is (sadly) very rare in the United States. (The movie takes place in the UK, maybe it's more common there.) I live/work in one of the more diverse and progressive regions of the US, too. Male teachers of color are statistically underrepresented in this country, and "teaching a class of white kids" - pretty rare. There are probably several reasons for this, based on the literature and some personal observations... but TO SIR WITH LOVE was/is kind of a utopian fantasy.

That's a good one. It's slow at times but it is very very odd.

Years ago, I read that Uwe Boll's movies were often intended to be tax write offs for the investors/executive producers, which is why they were made to a certain uh 'standard'.

This movie does look pretty cool, though. Very on topic in today's political climate. Maybe this one wasn't meant to be a tax write off!

The work of this glorified plagiarist fanboy:

I have to agree. His movies just don't do it for me, apart from the first Kill Bill. The second wasn't at the same level. Every other movies seems longwinded and self indulgent, not sure how to explain it.

We blew right past SPARTACUS. Oh well.

Yes, I was hoping to sneak in Astérix et Cléopâtre but that is BC as well.

I'd figure Poitier for Public Enemy #1.......

Yes, sadly. The apartheid censor board sadly saw him as a threat as he appealed to many cinema goers, irrespective of their race and backgrounds.

IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT was banned because of the slap scene, A PATCH OF BLUE and GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER were banned because of the love across colour lines "problem", TO SIR WITH LOVE was banned because it offended them that a person of colour was teaching a class of white kids, THE WILBY CONSPIRACY was banned due to its anti apartheid stance and I have absolutely no idea why a charming comedy drama like LILLIES OF THE FIELD was banned 🤔😳
