I found something typical of American TV. As with hong kong they edit out swearing so the films with the best, or should I most pronounced profanity are rendered b-versions, lesser versions of the original. But sometimes, the edited for TV versions are funny.
Take for example this Samuel L Jackson gem,
Snakes on a plane.
Watch
Snakes on Plane: TV Edit and more
funny videos on

There's a great one of Die Hard III, with a vengence. I couldn't stop laughing about that one, I even wanted a DVD of that version.
