Five of the best examples of child-friendly censorship of sweary film dialogue

Film-makers tend not to consider whether their completed work will be suitable for an airing on mainstream TV.

Thank goodness they don't, otherwise we wouldn't have been treated to these creatively child-friendly edits of previously sweary lines from films. Have you seen any others? Let us know in the thread below

I'm sure we're all familiar with the original "yippee-ki-yay" line uttered by John McClane in the first Die Hard film. However, it wasn't until Die Hard 2 was shown on TV that we were treated to this timeless version referencing a mysterious Mr Falcon instead.

Never before have we seen Samuel L Jackson so visibly concerned about snakes that engage primates in combat on a plane that is operational solely from Monday to Friday.

Hey, for all we know, eating pineapple may well be a risky endeavour for a Cuban crimelord…

The strength of this clip is how overblown John Goodman's reaction seems to be – surely finding strangers in the Alps and preparing scrambled eggs for them can't be such a heinous crime in the world of The Big Lebowski to warrant wanton vandalism? (In the original, incidentally, it is having anal sex with said stranger that is his objection).

Here, we see the C-word being replaced with "sloppy" in an extremely half-hearted voiceover. It's just magical.

We'll finish with a bonus clip from UCBComedy with intentionally terrible TV-style censorship, strong language ahoy.

Last week on Clip Joint, Lee Curtis walked us through five of his favourite Mexican standoffs. Here's our pick of suggestions from the thread.

1. Who could forget the three-way standoff in Reservoir Dogs, suggested by Chris7572, asadbutt, BlueCityWolf and Neil Jenney - even if it was a somewhat brazen homage to City Of Fire (as pointed out by DameHedwig, Spacedone and AJBee).

2. Speaking of dogs, how many standoffs can you think of that feature dogs in some capacity? If you were going to suggest Seven Psychopaths like valdrada did, then congratulations.

3. Snake Plissken in Escape from LA cleverly avoids a full standoff, or rather, tilts the odds in his favour somewhat - suggested by theshamefultruth.

4. Indiana Jones takes a similar tack to Plissken in Raiders of the Lost Ark, only this time the odds were already in his favour. This is the point where I make the groanworthy aside of "never bring a sword to a gunfight" while repeatedly nudging you in the ribs until you are simply forced to laugh - suggested by zombiedeadhead.

5. Again, a non-traditional standoff - not only because the only clip I could find of the scene was an amateur Lego reenactment of this scene from In Bruges (suggested by SonnyDay), so please excuse the sound quality, but because although Harry is pointing a gun at Ken throughout, Ken puts his gun down and tries to surrender.
