"Pirates of the Caribbean III" faces wrath in China
Pirates of the Caribbean III is the latest film to feel the wrath of Chinese censors. Audiences in Beijing will see a severely snipped version of the movie when it opens there this week. According to Variety, the censors have cut back on a series of scenes featuring the action star Chow Yun Fat.Some of the offending material was removed due to violence, but according to local media reports, one missing section features Yun Fat reading a verse by Tang dynasty poet Li Bai. The last Pirates flick was banned entirely because of scenes involving "cannibalism and ghosts". Source: BBC
