After man picks up live toad off keyboard, remove all sights of toad being squeezed to death in his hand, resuming to see it thrown over his shoulder. Cruel infliction of pain and suffering on captive animals in films is illegal by British law, and this entire sequence must therefore be re-cut so animal is simply lifted off keyboard and thrown away. (BBFC, 1989)
