The only movies I know of this were:

Cannibal Holocaust (1980) (Modified to Unrated)
The Evil Dead (1981) (Re-Rated to NC-17 13 Years after Release)


IMDB also says evil dead II was X on release, but shortly changed to Unrated/R after.

I also seem to see a pattern, the movies that were originally rated X are banned in many places,

The Evil Dead Certification in:
Germany (BANNED)
USA (Heavily Cut)
Canada (Heavily Cut)
Finland (Heavily Cut)
Malaysia (BANNED)
United Kingdom (BANNED) (Re-Rated 9 Years Later to X, unbanned)
Iceland (BANNED)
Ireland (BANNED)
Singapore (BANNED)
Norway (Heavily Cut)
Portugal (Heavily Cut)
New Zealand (Heavily Cut)

-----------

Dont even get me started on Cannibal Holocaust, we all know its banned in the most places.

Can anyone give me a list of gory/horror movies which were originally rated X besides The Evil Dead movies and Cannibal Holocaust?

I already checked movies like

Braindead, ichi the killer, bad taste, etc, all were either R or Unrated.
