Lawless is one of the very few cases where an Uncensored Version has never been released in its country of origin. While the US releases only offer the Censored Version, the Uncensored Version is only available in foreign countries.
All in all, 9 scenes with 9 seconds have been censored to get an R although it adds almost 9 seconds in an alternate scene and two further trivial short scenes. The motives for those alterations are unknown. Maybe the studio was trying to cover up the censoring by adding "superfluous" footage to reach the length of the Uncensored Version. Compared are the US R-Rated Version by Starz and the German Uncut Version by Koch Media. Among other countries, the Uncensored Version is available in Canada and Germany. In addition to the censoring, there are differences in color and aspect ratio as well. The Uncensored Version has a sepia colring while the US Version looks more natural. For some reason, these differences sometimes exist and sometimes they don't, depending on the current scene. Content: 1920 - during the prohibition in the US: Lawless is the true story of the Bondurant brothers. With incredibly actions, they became legends in the bootlegging business. Jack is impulsive and wants to the top. Howard, his older brother, is loyal to his brother but reckless when it comes to other people. Forrest is leading the family business with calm determnation. Because business is doing thriftily, bigger fishes make an appearance and obstruct - with leathal consequences. Different Logos at the Beginning
