Like this?
So, who's got a camera?

There's an edited version of Basic Instinct? How does that even work? The movie would be like 15 minutes long, max.
Anyway, similarly related, a friend of mine didn't know until just a few days ago that Sherlock Holmes did cocaine because she had only seen the kid friendly versions of the stories on TV. If you're talking about completely rewriting shows/movies so they're more kid friendly as opposed to just changing the language, I suppose for something like the Matrix you could change the gun fights to hand-to-hand combat (or just give everybody laser guns, especially for the most famous scene), people just get knocked out instead of dying, Dozer and the others just get hurt and then shoved on a bus once they've recovered, and Keanu goes Super Saiyan at the end instead of resurrecting.

Still just awesome like that
Clerks would be nigh unwatchable. Hell, even more so with Clerks 2. ("Interspecies erotica, f>cko.")
And God help them if they try to run Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back.
Insert witty 'n clever quip here.
Goodfellas would be about five minutes long.
Including opening and closing credits.
BTW, that Youtube video was painful. Poor Samuel L. Having to do that shit TWICE.

In the same way as some anime has been in order to get fit it into the Animation Age Ghetto and fit on kids' TV. This tends to happen a lot more with anime than it does for any other media, as the ghetto simply isn't there in the same way. Yes, movies and the like are sometimes Edited for Syndication, but a lot of the examples of that seem to involve dubbing out bad language or cutting out one or two scenes. Supposing this happened with all movies, perhaps pretending they're being dubbed for an imaginary foreign market (let's say, Lyniezia?)
Loosely based on my comment on this video
in which I was comparing Voltron to Star Trek II The Wrath Of Khan as a way of saying why said Go Lion scene would not have mentioned my 10-year-old brain. You will note I got thinking, for amusement, what might happen if the Star Trek movies were Bowdlerized in the same way. It would be a lot easier to write around Spock's death than it would be for Voltron with Sven/Shirogane's death. Simply pretend his "body" wasn't being "buried in space" but sent to the Genesis planet so the Genesis Effect could help him recover.
It would certainly make it tricky to re-write the plot of Star Trek III The Search For Spock or the point of Spock mind-melding with Mc Coy and depositing his katra into him. Maybe you could make it part of some big Batman Gambit where he knew exactly what would happen (Genesis Effect would de-age him and wipe his memory?) And of course, we can't stop the Enterprise from blowing up, so lets make half the Klingon crew into robots, cut out the scenes of the being blown up with the ship and pretend they beamed away safely, etc....
Can anyone think up some more ideas?
