This is from an interview with Matthew Vaughn 1/27/15 on Den of Geek about The Kingsman:

I should ask you just to clarify the certification of the film in the UK...

I haven't changed a f***ing frame!

Absolutely nothing? The BBFC posted that "certain changes were made prior to submission" to get a 15 certificate in the UK?

Nothing. You've seen it!

I didn't see evidence of anything being cut out! I half expected an 18 certificate, but I don't fully know hw the BBFC works.

They're pretty intelligent people, the BBFC. And I think they get it right most of the time. They watched it, and I sat down with them. The violence is fun. You don't see people grimacing. They're laughing with it. It's like Tom & Jerry. It's over the top and colourful and playful.

Spoiler

Church scene or the Anal Joke

I am trying to find one uncut and look and read comments it's been over 1 week and its the same feedback on every copy I look at;

People that have watched it, after give their comment when it is a sensitive issue, so people are not all stupid, it does n't take a scientist to know that those 2 famous part are in it or not...

Spoiler

but all comments I read they all say joke edited out, church scene not in it

Kingsman - The Secret Service Uncut Elsewhere?

Considerable Runtime Differences Suggest Hope

We already reported in December 2014 that the action film Kingsman - The Secret Service by Kick Ass director Matthew Vaughn was censored in the UK in order to avoid the "18" rating. However, the runtimes of the BBFC 15 version and the German FSK 16 version show a noteworthy difference as the film runs longer in Germany.

The British cut of the movie clocks in at 128:34 minutes while the German release has a duration of 129:25 minutes. The difference of 51 seconds is quite large and isn't due to rounding up. Also, logos can most likely be ignored since the film's sole distributor is 20th Century Fox. Therefore, it's quite possible that the film's UK pre-cuts won't affect other markets.

I am not dreaming this... just trying to find an unedited copy since I keep hearing people being disappointed that the version they saw didn't have the 2 scenes in it...so reason why I asked if someone can kindly give feedback once they watch the BB canada version as if not I am not watching this movie, if I have to wait another month until people say this ''X'' version has those 2 scenes then I'll pick up that copy,

I am just trying to reach out for help and not to have being shown an article right ''in your face'' that states that I am making this up.

 

[Bagman99]

@Actarus Yeah I watched the digital version not to long ago and it contained both of those scenes. If they got rid of those It wouldn't feel like the movie I saw in theatres as those were the most memorable scenes in my opinion.

I think the North American versions will not be cut as they usually never do, but straight from what we saw in the theaters.

My digital version is 2hrs9min25secs same as German version. The theater version is the same as that.

 

[psychoscot]

That joke although fairly rude is actually pivotal to the plot. Film wouldn't work without it.

 

[Actarus]

@Philacup this is the help I wanted, thanks... reason why I am very sceptical of copies out there right now is that it is the edited version and I was told to watch the uncut version if not it won't feel the same.

So this was my question/Help, the BB Canadian steelbook if it has the full 2hrs9min25sec

because when they write the run time usually they round it up, and write approx 107 min for exemple... so if I get my copy and says approximate 2h9m...how am I suppose to judge if it is 25 sec less or 25 sec more ? without opening it to find out... as if not I would not keep it.

I was just asking that favor from the 4 that I tagged including you so when you guys have the steel in hands can verify and let me know, just asking for help that is it.

@Actarus I feel your pain! The research really just isn't answering any questions. I'm afraid that we will only know upon release. I don't really really trust reported running times, as they can be wrong quite often. I can't really figure out the discrepancy of the 'missing' 50 seconds. Is there an example of any other film being released in the UK in theaters that was then censored for UK home video? I figure if they are not going to censor it in the theater, why would they censor the video?
Anyone seeing digital versions might be seeing versions from countries other than Canada, US, & UK.
I know the prevalent digital copies (torrents) of 'It Follows' is a censored version from Korea.
I have both versions (Zavvi & Film Arena) ordered of Kingsman. I guess I'll find the answers then.

Nail and head mate. While I don't know about the US/Canada, films can sometimes be trimmed for the UK cinema for a lower rating like Taken 2 and 3 to get more bums on seats, but in pretty much every case the home dvd/bluray version will be the full version or rather the full version the BBFC approve usually at a higher age rating.

It could be that the digital versions available are from Eastern Europe "most likely" or Asia where that very subject is taboo and in many case deeply illegal. Hence the cut.

I was told not to watch it.

so I am just trying to get a copy, might just have to buy the german Amaray as from the article that I posted is the one that has the 50 sec extra containing those 3 elements. This is very frustrating.

I saw it in theatres in Canada and there was a joke about that.

 

[Actarus]

and of all the comments I read and I read a lot as I am trying to find a copy for a week and all censored, some contain the chruch scene that I have scene but for the other no all they say it does not contain... still read all the feedback of copies leaked today and all no joke it is edited still...

but @Leafs17 if there was the joke about that must mean blu-ray/steel will have it as someone told me when there is a copies shown in the theatre in a country, it will be same copy on blu-ray release... and @Leafs17

Spoiler

was there the Church Scene in it as well in theater ?
