Mission Impossible movie censored in China over Shanghai 'insults'

Jun 12, 2006, 2:37 GMT

Hong Kong - The latest Mission Impossible movie has had scenes cut from it in Chinese cinemas because officials believe they are insulting to Shanghai, a news report said Monday. Censors were unhappy about scenes in 'M:i:III' showing laundry hanging on bamboo poles and a slow response by police to a high-speed chase, the South China Morning Post reported. The movie starring Tom Cruise will be screened in China from July 20 after the movie's makers apparently agreed to changes requested by the Chinese government, the newspaper said. Cruise and his co-stars were in China's second city last year to film part of the third installment of the blockbuster Mission Impossible series. Last week, hit movie The Da Vinci Code was banned after a two-week run in Chinese cinemas following protests by Catholics in some parts of China. © 2006 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur
