What are some movies that are rendered virtually unwatchable in their edited-for-TV counterparts?

One that immediately comes to mind is the ITV edit of RoboCop

I tweeted about this when it was on ITV4 a few months ago. They seriously edited the early ED 209 scene, but then a few minutes later still had the full on, brutal Murphy execution scene. Made no sense whatsoever.

If it went to theaters, you better believe that shit's getting seriously cut down as well. That scene (among others) actually had to be censored to avoid an X rating.

Meanwhile, The Wolverine couldn't even show the ninja fight without getting an R (confirmed by James Mangold himself on the unrated cut commentary track). A bunch of other onscreen stabbings had to be cut as well, and that was with all the gore digitally removed (even bloodless stabbings can't be shown TOO much).
