8 Movies Banned For Telling You How To Commit A Crime

4. Train Surfing - Thomas & The Magic Railroad

Terminator 2 Sarah Connor
Sony Pictures Releasing

Nobody but the most hardcore Thomas the Tank Engine fanatics will even remember Thomas and the Magic Railroad - the 2000 big-screen adventure film starring, bizarrely enough, Alec Baldwin, Peter Fonda, and Mara Wilson.

In addition to being thoroughly savaged by critics, the film had one sequence edited when it later premiered on the Australian TV channel Playhouse Disney.

In one mid-film scene, the character Junior (Michael E. Rodgers) is shown "train surfing" - that is, riding on top of a train for kicks - atop the train Diesel 10.

In addition to being highly dangerous, train surfing is also extremely illegal in most countries, prompting Disney Australia to cut the moment out entirely.

Granted, Junior is also shown using a windmill to catapult himself through the air to land on top of Diesel 10, so it's hardly an easily replicable series of events, even if it could perhaps encourage youngsters to trespass on trainyards all the same.
