About a Boy 1s 12 cert 14:18s DVD Extras

Thanks to Adam:

The R2 DVD of About A Boy has 1 second cut from the deleted scenes. The BBFC site states swearing as the reason, so I guess this is an example of the questionable 1 "fuck" for 12 certificate okay, 2+ not.

The Abyss 45s 15 cert   1989 US film by James Cameron

The same cuts are present in the cinema version and all video versions including the so called Director's cut

Cuts have been applied to the scene where a rat is dipped in supposedly breathable liquid. The BBFC claim cruelty to animals in the making of the scene but the director claims that several different rats were used to ensure that none suffered.

Accion Mutante DVD cover

uncut 18 certificate 89:44s 1993 Spanish/French horror film by Alex de la Iglesia (Metrodome)

Cuts were waived for the 2007 release. This is available at UK Amazon for release on 26th December 2007

It is said that a US version was submitted but I don't know how this explains a running time of about 54s less than expected

Review from Amazon US:

This is definitely one of the craziest movies I've ever seen. A wild Mixture of Action and Splatters cenes, combined with crazy Humour, funny dialogues and very strange Actors.

The Plot is told with a few sentences: Women gets kidnapped by a group of crippled Terrorists, known as "Accion Mutante". On the way to the planet Axturias, the group gets decimated by their own leader. Finally all the survivors meet again - the final clash marks the curious culmination of a curious film.

In my Opinion, Alex de la Iglesia has done a very good job - it's an excellent film, a macabre Masterpiece beside the Mainstream.

Adventure Duo: Episode 1
aka
  • Yojusensen
  • Adventure Kid
1:08s 18 certificate 28:57s 1993 Japanese anime by Takayama Hideki (Paradox Films)

The mandated name change as described by a BBFC examiner:

Obviously the characters are youngsters, but we felt that this series didn’t have the kind of appeal that say Akira or even Crying Freeman had for a younger audience. I mean, the storyline in Adventure Duo is quite impenetrable, so we didn’t feel that teenagers would particularly go for this material. It’s one of the reasons that we insisted that the name be changed from Adventure Kids to Adventure Duo.

Adventure Duo: Episode 2
aka
  • Adventure Kid
  • Yojusensen
7:35s 18 certificate 34:16s 1993 Japanese anime.

The cuts as decribed by a BBFC examiner:

Let me show you a scene we cut from Adventure Duo which features teenage heroes who get into all sorts of adventures, yet the film also contains very realistic portrayals of sex including autoeroticism and sexual assault. This is from Adventure Duo 2 which is set in Japan during the Second World War. We are introduced to an impotent scientist whose wife is sexually frustrated and the episode starts with her masturbating in a highly realistic and sexually arousing fashion. Her husband interrupts her and she asks him to make love to her but he refuses and goes back to his laboratory. A few minutes later a group of soldiers arrive and decide to humiliate the scientist by raping his wife in front of him. It’s one of the longest, strongest and highly realistic rape scenes I have ever seen in Japanese animation. And what the Board found particularly worrying is that this woman is forced to admit to the rapist that she is enjoying the experience. And when the woman finally orgasms there’s no doubt that the underlying message is that women can enjoy rape as long as it’s done well.

And in cutting this scene, we’re making a decision about the presentation of sexual violence across the board, whether the audience is 18 or 80. It was our view that even if this material isn’t corrupting underage viewers, current social attitudes dictate that this kind of sexual violence is unacceptable. Not only does the law compel us to censor material, public opinion does as well, and public opinion is something we monitor very closely.

Adventures of Juan Quin Quin
aka
  • Aventuras De Juan Quin Quin
1:50s PG cert 106:39s 1967 Cuba drama by Julio García Espinosa (Sound & Media)

The DVD submitted in 2007 was cut by the BBFC to the tune of 1:50s. The BBFC commented:

Distributor required to make cuts to sight of animal cruelty (animals with burning ropes tied to their tails and birds engaged in cockfighting).

Adventures of Kekkou Kamen: Part 1 : Naked Justice 3:59s 18 certificate 40:19s 1995 Japanese anime by Go Nagai (East 2 West Films)

Cuts as described by a BBFC examiner:

When the Board first saw The Adventures of Kekkou Kamen, we were quite taken aback as we hadn’t seen anything like it before. The series directly associates comedy with violence and sexualised violence. It features a naked superheroine who goes around with only a hood on beating up the bad guys with nunchakus, which are illegal weapons in this country. Though we allowed some scenes to remain in which Kekkou was just holding nunchakus, if a scene glamourised and promoted their use, then it became a problem and was cut.

The other, more troubling issue with Kekkou Kamen is that it is a comedy which has at its heart a sort of sexualised violence. This scene was cut from the first episode . It’s where a group of sadistic schoolteachers make jokes at the expense of a young girl who is hung up and then whipped and tortured by a sadistic Nazi. This is the crux of the sequence, where the girl is stripped with a whip and we get an eroticised view of her breasts and naked torso. This is very over the top and is meant to be a satire on the Japanese education system, but our feeling was that there was enough explicit sexual imagery to undercut the satire and introduce an element of arousal and titillation, which is reinforced by the change of music

Adventures of Rin-Tin-Tin 4 36s PG cert 385:10s 1954 US Western TV Series by Robert G Walker + others (Revelation Films)

The Ages of Lulu

  • Les Etades du Lulu
  • Las Edades de Lulu
1:15s 18 certificate 96:14s 1990 Spanish film by JJ Bigas Luna (Tartan Video)

From DVD Times by Gary Couzens

No update so farin the BBFC database for the 2007 release as part of the box set, The Bigas Lunas Collection. Presumably the previous cut still applies. However the cut seems to have been implemented via darkening to obscure the offending detail

1:15s 18 certificate 96:14s Most cuts were restored when the Tartan DVD was resubmitted in 2002 but one scene was cut with the BBFC comment: A compulsory cut was required to remove a shot of a female baby lying on her back with her vagina exposed to the camera which is potentially an indecent photograph of a child

The cut to the opening credits was implemented by blanking the offending video of the child's baptism

Cuts also required to trailer for Love Toy to remove suggestion of incest and to images of naked children in a documentary on the penis.

The uncut region 1 DVD is available at US Amazon

Review from Amazon US

In the world of exploitation cinema, Doris Wishman was a trailblazer. She also was slightly nuts. So it's only natural that she would be the one with the [moxy] to make "The Amazing Transplant," the first penis transplant movie. Nerdy Arthur never had much luck with the ladies, but lately he's raping women.... The reason? That brand new penis he got (in a bloodless surgery) also gave him a new fetish that makes him lose control when he sees women wearing gold earrings! As if the story wasn't odd enough, the uninitiated might find Wishman's style a bit jarring. All dialog is post-dubbed so, in an apparent effort to avoid troublesome lip-synching, Doris tries not to turn the camera on anyone who's supposed to be speaking.

In addition to Wishman's hypnotically surreal narrative, check out the included trailers to Wishman movies like "Deadly Weapons," "The Immoral Three" and her sickest movie, "Love Toy." Topping off this DVD trashfest are a couple of shorts, "Penis Facts" and a Navy sex hygiene film that's surprisingly explicit --and hilarious.

Review from imdb

"American Gothic" is an unusual horror thriller in the simple way that it is character-driven - it doesn't care about suspense and does NOT go overboard in the gore department - although it lapses into Body Count Movie cliches.

It also depends on the victims behaving much more stupidly than you would expect real people to (then again, that's commonplace in slasher films). It's a pretty dumb movie but also dumb enough to be mildly entertaining (although I must stress the word MILDLY).

Rod Steiger as usual is given an opportunity to go wildly over the top, and Yvonne DeCarlo, a.k.a. Lily Munster, is on hand as his wife. These two veterans tend to act rings around their younger co-stars.

Here is a scene we cut from Angel Cop. This is a highly political piece of anime, set in the near future where the Japanese government have set up a special task force to deal with terrorists. This is the point where several members of the Red Dawn Communist group are confronted by Angel, who literally blows out the brains of one of the terrorists, which is pure mutilation.

Angel Heart 4s 18 cert 108:25s 1987 US film by Alan Parker. Both cinema & video versions cut

A cockfight has been deleted.

The film was a little more controversial in the US where it was originally given an X certificate due to the central sex scene between Mickey Rourke and Lisa Bonnet. The US were a little sensitive to the inter-racial relationship. In addition, Lisa Bonet was best known for a squeaky clean role in the Cosby Show and the lovers were showered with blood dripping from the ceiling. 10s were therefore cut to achieve an R Rating. This scene is left uncut in the UK version.

L'ange de la vengeance DVD

1:42s 18 cert 75:45s 1981 US drama by Abel Ferrara (Warner Home Video)

The video was cut by the BBFC when submitted in 1986

  1. The first rape loses 11s of Abel Ferrara undoing his trousers and then pulling down Thana's (Zoe Tamerlis) underpants
  2. The second rape loses 67s mostly of the rapist (Peter Yellen) beating his gun against the floor as he climaxes.
  3. After killing the second rapist Thana cuts up the body. We don't see her sawing through an arm nor a shot of her face registering pleasure in her task.
  4. Another group of rapists threaten Thana but the BBFC have deprived them of the use of a pair of nunchucks.

Note that this is a different video to the similarly titled entry Angel of Vengeance on the rejected videos list.

Review from imdb

I have always preferred Al Adamson's action epics to his schlock monster pics (though I love both genres). Satan's Sadists is Adamson at his prime in the action field and who could top that? That's why Angels' Wild Women comes as such a disappointment.

The storyline is simple: while the Angels are away, their women play. Well, sort of. The most they do is assault a farmhand before falling into the clutches of a religious cult. Adamson regulars Regina Carrol and Vicki Volante play two of the biker women, Margot and Terry.

Much of the movie is dedicated to footage of the Angels getting into brawls, having drinking competitions, and necking with their women. So, despite the provocative title that promises a lot of fun viewing, the movie doesn't really spend a lot of time with the titular women.

The amazing poster for this film delivers a lot more than the film does. For Adamson fanatics only.

See review from IMDb: Cult Star

Cult star Christina Lindberg stars as Anita, a 16-year-old girl (played by a 22-year-old) who has to have sex and it doesn't matter with who. She picks up lawyers, junkies, little boys, drunks or even the homeless. Her sexual behavior gets her kicked out of towns but one day she meets a doctor who thinks he can help her.

This Swedish picture is rather strange because it's certainly a sexploitation title and the main goal is for the beautiful Lindberg to get naked every chance she gets but the overall tone of the movie is so serious that it's hard to have fun with the film.

The story is pretty straight forward, which means it gets pretty boring as it rarely goes over the top outside of a 16-year-old wanting any guy she can get. As for Lindberg, she certainly deserves her cult status. She's certainly easy on the eyes but unlike a lot of erotic stars, she can also act and she brings a lot life to her character.

You see a shot of the guy throwing it, but then you only see the bottle already by the side of Cheung's body, who's screaming in pain, after the impact.

Review from imdb

As I ruminate over the matter right now, this is my favorite film of the genre. The general consensus of this film's silliness does not discourage me. Horror is the most cinematic of cinema avenues, and this one works for me because it evokes a mood through atmosphere and sustains it.

Ostensibly we have a story about a mad doctor who steals female bodies and uses their individual parts to patch up a unified whole. The real patching up lies in what Franco does here in regard to elements from horror past. We have Morpho, who is a composite of creatures: a Frankenstein, a Dracula, the deformed Karloff monster from The Raven. And we have Orlof, who embodies a myriad of established characters, notably Doctor Gogol from Mad Love.

And it's all wrapped up in the atmosphere of such Univeral classics. The atmosphere drips. This is a wonderful film.

Review from imdb

A gang of three murderers escape the police, terrorize a salesgirl in a roadside grocery store, then proceed to hide-out in a seemingly deserted farmhouse. They soon discover that a young girl, Lisa, and her paralyzed grandfather live there. The gang attempt some sleazy deeds, but Lisa shows how she can work an axe in self-defense.

Even though this movie is EXTREMELY low-budget and is only around 60 minutes long, it is still another example of how a low-budget can help a movie. The acting isn't always the best, but Leslie Lee is considerably creepy as Lisa the axe murderess. Filmed in North Carolina at a deserted farmhouse, the atmosphere is very isolated, like the farmhouse in NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. The movie doesn't really go anywhere, but it is a classic of its own kind and the soundtrack should be enshrined on CD.
