Answer: Twentieth Century Fox desperately wanted a box office destroying, record breaking haul and quite rightly, or not so in this case, thought that a 12A (the certificate it was awarded in cinemas) would garner them a gigantic amount of dough. In the U.K. you can only have a certain amount of the F word if you want your film to be a 12A. (It used to be one F word for a 12).
