  Hi everyone, a query here. If I should buy a dvd from Amazon in USA, for example, and the dvd would have been censored in Singapore due to excess violence or nudity, what would happen next?

  This is how it goes, Amazon will box up the DVD movies to your home.
  
  But the moment it arrive in Singapore, Singpost will check - movie dvd will be send to the censor shipboard , singpost will not inform you on it. Censorship board will send you a letter instead for you to collect your DVD, but you must pay something less then $10 for each dvd.
  
  But if the dvd does not pass through - you can only go watch "Gone with the wind" !!!

  Thanks! I asked 'cos I like some films that the censors may deem to be too violent or contain "antisocial" themes like "Goodfellas" or "Brazil". Have watched them overseas, and they were really good. Sigh......
