There's a crazy madman running around San Francisco, and he's chasing a serial killer.

Banned

1972 - Finland - Banned on February 1972 for violence and mental health reasons. The distributor challenged the banning and took the decision to ban to Finnish Supreme Administrative Court which ruled against banning. After minor cuts, it was banned again. A second round of court cases (again, won by the distributor) forced the banning authorities to allow the film to be distributed. They did so but only after mandatory cuts of over three minutes premiering in January 1973.
