The long wait is finally over: Tarantino's cult classic is now available uncut on TV
Quentin Tarantino's controversial masterpiece Reservoir Dogs was banned in Germany for over 25 years due to its graphic violence and excessive use of profanity. But now, the uncut version of the film is finally available to watch on German television.
The film will air on the pay-TV channel Tele 5 on Saturday, May 14, 2023, at 10:35 p.m.
The ban on Reservoir Dogs in Germany was one of the longest-running film bans in the country's history. The film was originally released in 1992, but was banned by the German Film Rating Board (FSK) due to its extreme violence and excessive use of profanity.
The ban was finally lifted in 2020, after the film was re-rated by the FSK. The new rating allowed the film to be released uncut in Germany for the first time.

The film has been praised by critics and audiences alike, and is considered to be one of Tarantino's best works. It is also one of the most influential films of the 1990s, and has inspired numerous other films and television shows.
