    The BBFC was asked to see the thriller that was erotic in October of 1996. The BBFC concluded that the film was not meant for literal interpretation ‘and looked at its themes in a metaphorical way.

    Then, eleven people with disabilities watched the film, revealing their opinions on whether it was offensive. Most didn’t take it in but did not overlook its portrayal of people with disabilities as appealing and energetic as well as positive.

    A scene in Crash has also been cut, but it was not due to the reason that many think.

    The scene in question depicts an actress lactating, and the spurt of milk that shoots across the screen, which Cronenberg said to The Guardian was not in line with the movie’s rationale.

    He stated that it was quite thrilling, and we were all elated about it; however, the issue is that in the film, the character isn’t pregnant, and she isn’t nursing, so it was not logical.

    The 1996 film has sparked anger and controversy even today. The film has gained an audience of a certain kind and is considered to be among Cronenberg’s most memorable films.
