13 Shocking Movie Posters That Were Banned

8. Shame

We may have all been made by it and it might be one of the most perfectly natural, normal things in the world, but it seems the folks behind poster regulation aren't big fans of sperm. Fox Searchlight had inventively chosen to use said bodily fluid as the centre-point for their foreign advertising campaign, in an attempt to push the film's NC-17 rating.

In fact, pretty much everyone was equally as disgusted by this poster for Steve McQueen's portrait of sex addiction - which was released in Hungary initially - ended up with a ban. The film was already controversial for its subject matter and it being snubbed at the Oscars, so Fox probably weren't entirely phased. After all, controversy begets attention and nothing begets controversy like jism.
