Blackboard Jungle was originally rejected in the UK for containing "unbridled, revolting hooliganism" and having a "damaging and harmful effect on teenagers". It was eventually released as an X certificate after around 5 minutes of footage was removed. When shown at a South London Cinema in Elephant and Castle in 1956 the teenage Teddy Boy audience began to riot, tearing up seats and dancing in the aisles. After that, riots took place around the country wherever the film was shown.
