US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:

• US 2004 Exploitation Digital R1 DVD via UK Amazon and at US Amazon

Summary Review: The Good Old Days

A beautiful, nefarious senior female SS officer/doctor (Magall) creates a genetic, mutant human Beast (half man/half beast). The Beast is a rapacious, squat, mongoloid sex fiend which she uses to torture and molest female prisoners while the Nazis watch. The vertically challenged beast is kept on a diet of mega-aphrodisiacs. There is plenty of sadistic titillations, gore and nudity in this Nazi sub-genre exploitation flick.

Ahhh, the good old days when absolutely nothing was safe or sacred to the exploitation movie merchants.... Here we have, in my opinion, probably the most tasteless example of the Naziploitation picture, a genre that more or less died shortly after this "movie".

Anyway, about the movie. For the uninitiated, start with Ilsa - She Wolf of the SS. If you can "enjoy" that bit of nastiness, then perhaps consider taking on this "unique" take on a forgotten film genre. Just don't watch it with your mom or girlfriend or aunt or grandma etc...

The Beast in Space

• La bestia nello spazio

Uncut version is available at:

1980 Italy SciFi by Alfonso Brescia with Sirpa Lane, Vassili Karis and Lucio Rosato. See IMDb

The US release featuring the XXX Version is uncut and MPAA Unrated for:

• US 2008 Private Screening R1 DVD via UK Amazon

The XXX Version:

• contains alternative hardcore shots of the beast Onaf raping Sondra
• a hardcore sex scene between Madison and Sondra
• extra shots of Onaf's prosthetic penis.

Summary Review: Sexual Energy

Without stating the obvious, the film is a mess. But that's where the fun begins. There is no real telling of what is happening, but one might surmise some of the possibilities. Ultimately this film is riding the coattails of two other films: The Beast (La Bete) and Star Wars. How you might imagine to combine these two films into one heap of psuedo-science-fiction with a touch of pornography? Its not easy, and watching this is not very easy either.

There are hardcore scenes in this version, but its really not erotic or sexually interesting. While the film is already cut-up to an incomprehensible mess, the hardcore footage does not help matters much either.

pre-cut

• UK 2010 Argent/Shameless R0 DVD

This version is based upon the XXX Version but the 'real' hardcore was pre-cut. However it is slightly better than the Unrated Version in that:

• The beast raping Sondra is extended with some extra softcore material rescued from the hardcore version.
• There are extra shots of Onaf's prosthetic penis.

Beast Wars Transformers: The Spark

Thanks to Sic

Cut in 2001 to obtain a PG

A headbutt was cut (13.45s in)from the start of a fight between cheetor & Black Arachnia because it's a dangerous technique of course I'm sure the subsequent series of punchs and kicks to the side of the head are perfectly safe.

The Beast Within

• The opening & closing rape scenes are missing glimpses of the women's breasts and of bloodied bodies
• Michael's (Paul Clemens) attack on Edwin (Logan Ramsey) is missing the shot of the killer quivering as he gnaws into the victim's throat.
• A shot of Edwin's mangled body is missing when it is discovered by the Judge (Don Gordon).
• Michael snarls at the camera with a bloodied mouth during a flashback that is missing.
• Eventually the Judge gets his head ripped off but we don't get to see the blood pouring out nor the head rolling off the neck stump.

The Beastmaster

• Beastmaster - Der Befreier

Bee Movie

Thanks to Haydn

The cinema release was cut in 2007 with the following BBFC comment: The distributor was required to make one cut, in a film aimed at younger viewers, of a potentially dangerous and easily imitated technique involving materials that are readily available in the average household (specifically, turning household items into a flame thrower). An uncut classification was not available to the distributor.

The film was released with the aerosol replaced by a harmless shower-head.

Beerfest

The 2006 video/DVD version was passed uncut with an 18 rating

The uncut region 2 DVD is available at UK Amazon

The cinema version was cut in 2006 with the following BBFC comment: Distributor chose to remove scene of sexualised asphyxiation in order to achieve the requested '15'. An uncut '18' was available'.

The BBFC explained further in their 2006 Annual Report:

The film contained a brief, comic sex scene that included sight of a man being asphyxiated with a plastic bag. The clear detail, together with the potential for harm amongst teen viewers for whom the dangers of sexual asphyxiation might not be clear, seemed to warrant an ‘18’ certificate.

But as Kirei points out, the same scene would perversely be banned from an R18 film.

Review from UK Amazon: Ultra-Fun

This is a Russ Meyers film, his final full length film as director and as usual his fascination for the female form is in abundance.

The movie is based in a small town USA and centers around the married couple of Lammar and Levonna and the sexual frustration of Levonna, here on in ensues a fantastic comedy soft porn romp in which the couple meet various colourful charactors along the journey to help cure Lammar's bedroom leanings, ending up in the fantastic Church of Rio Dio Radio where in lies Eufaula Roop, who has to be seen to be believed.

This movie was not the best received Meyers movie at the time of release however its safe to say that it has now gained cult status.

The import Region 0 DVD from Megastar (English subtitles) is uncut

Best of the Best II

An 'unabridged version' was submitted in 2005 without BBFC cuts.

It has all the nunchakus restored but is missing some shots of James throwing up when he is fighting Tommy, and the shot of James finger being blown off. Also a bad guy getting shot is let off with less bullet wounds than in the uncut version. About 6 seconds cut. All appear in the UK video.

This seems to be the version shown on Sky

The Swedish DVD from Midget Entertainment is fully uncut

No BBFC cuts listed for the 1993 Entertainment in Video version so it appears that the video has suffered pre-cuts

The duel between Tommy (Philip Rhee) and the Asian, ponytailed gladiator has been severely shortened for the U.K prints.  A lengthy segment of the fight in which the gladiator uses two pairs of silver nunchakus is missing.

The scene lasts twice as long in the uncut version, which has been shown in the past on Sky. The version currently screening on Bravo, however, appears to be the same as the video except for an extra shot of James (Tommy's native brother) having his finger blown off - which isn't in Sky's print.

Best of the Best 3: No Turning Back

The BBFC cut the 1996 EIV video and 2007 ILC Prime DVD by 44s for a 15 rating.

From cuts details on IMDb

• cuts to the scene where Margo is assaulted and her clothes cut with a knife to reveal her bra.

The uncut region 1 DVD is available via UK Amazon
The uncut region 1 DVD is available at US Amazon

See review from IMDb: Bad Film, Great Fun

I really enjoyed it, in a campy way. Tommy turns up in some rural town and steps right into a race war. Tommy is basically given reason after reason to take on guys of 4 or more and throw them through various fruit stalls, ticket offices, coffee tables, and french windows.

The gorgeous Gina Gershon does her best as a choir teacher helping Tommy out, but whenever she needs to be helpless it kinda doesn't work because she now plays such strong, female roles.

The acting and direction are seriously questionable but this film is obviously about fight scenes and they are entertaining enough, from the moment we see Gershon's house is full of glass tables, flimsy bookcases and china filled cabinets we know we are in for a treat.

Terrible, patronising attitude toward racial issues but, hey, its got a rocket launcher and plenty of flying kicks.

• Deadliest Art: The Best of the Martial Arts Movies

No cuts listed by the BBFC but at the very end the narrator says: we've saved the best for last, here is Bruce Lee fighting with the deadly nunchaku in Enter the Dragon. The clip begins with Lee beating up a few of the guards, then he knocks one over in to some water and it fades out and ends, surprise, surprise, no nunchaku!

Betty Page: Bondage Queen

• The Classic Films of Irving Klaw

The BBFC passed the 2009 Digital Classics DVD 18 uncut

Review from US Amazon: Queen of Curves

The new DVD : Betty Page Bondage Queen will be a desirable addition to any Bettie Page fan but I suppose that I was expecting the whole disk to be unpublished shots of the Queen of Curves as the title suggests. The several short movies presented are black and white films taken of some of Irving Klaw's models in their undies, being bound and gagged by Klaw's sister.

Betty appears in a few and in many stills. The exclusive commentary by Bettie Page is a short written page or two, not the audio file I hoped for. I enjoyed the movies of the models in their bras and panties, dark nylons and ultra high heels as they tried to walk in them but a more truthful title for the DVD would have been Irving Klaw's Bondage and Fetish models, Featuring Bettie Page.

The BBFC stated that this video was rejected on the grounds that the Board's guidelines state that mild fetishism may be represented, but in Irving Klaw we have scenes of women trussed, bound, gagged, spanked, shackled, handcuffed, slapped, tethered and suspended. Such sequences of bondage, restraint and gagging (proffered as masturbation material) are very extensive and unacceptable. The distributor of this material has decided to re-edit two versions of Betty page's work by photographer Irving Klaw that will not breach our guidelines. We are awaiting their resubmission.

Summary Review: Fulci Lives

The Beyond is one of Fulci's best films. The film takes place in modern day Louisiana as a woman oversees the the renovation of an hotel that she inherits. Strange and gory things start to happen and poof the hotel just happens to be over one of the 7 doors to hell.

Very bloody with a slightly incoherent plot the film is a lot of fun and I suspect that no Fulci fan should be without their copy. Visually I think this is Fulci's best film (that I've seen) and the acting is what you'd expect.

The cut cinema version was passed 18 without further cuts for:

• Buio Omega
• Buried Alive

The US Unrated Version is uncut for:

• 2010 Shriek Show Blu-ray/R1 DVD at US Amazon
• 2002 Shriek Show R1 DVD via UK Amazon and at US Amazon

Review from UK Amazon: Honest Horror

Buio Omega has been criticised for lacking poetry, for being cheaply shot, for smothering everything with vulgar blood and entrails, and it is a very vulgar film. But that is a function of its peasant honesty and its materialism - no gauze and dry ice in a d'Amato film to mask what lies underneath desires and dreams: we're made of flesh and bone, not poetry.

There is a lovely satirical scene at the engagement lunch - d'Amato is very fond of his grotesques. Is it well-acted or not? Is it well-paced and structured? It doesn't matter. Joe d'Amato is too honest to care much about such things, and besides he has a child-like love of the forbidden - like shooting a scene with the sun in front of the camera, he never tires of that. His films are not well-made or well-furnished; they are better than that. His Buio Omega and Emanuelle in America together say everything Eyes Wide Shut could not, for all Kubrick's formal ingenuity. The only subject that film has left is its own remoteness and the emptiness of its fantasies.

Review from Amazon UK: Camp classic

What more could one ask for? Valley of the Dolls took itself seriously with hilarious effects. Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (supposedly not related) was more of a spoof that played straight with seriously hilarious effects. Both are camp classics and at this price, this DVD is nearly impossible to pass up.

The CBS Fox Video was cut by 53s when submitted in 1989:

• New opening credits were required for this release, as the BBFC would not allow the shot of a gun being rubbed along breasts in the opening scene.
• Paul also suggests that a drug taking scene via a pipe may have been cut as it is about 50s

Beyond Tomorrow

• Beyond Christmas

pre-cut

The 2009 E1 DVD was passed uut by the BBFC. It is a colorised and shorted version titled Beyond Christmas.

The uncut region 1 DVD is available at US Amazon
The uncut region 1 DVD is available via UK Amazon

See review from IMDb: Colorized

Fox Home Entertainment has once again attempted to improve upon a classic. BEYOND TOMORROW gets the colorizing and retitling treatment, retitling the film (BEYOND Christmas).

The company has also chopped out about 5 minutes of material from the movie. Granted, they include the material in the Extras as deleted footage, but that only begs the question, What was the point of deleting it at this time, to begin with?

Some of the deletions, such as the sequence where Arlene Terry's ex-boyfriend clashes with her new leading man, destroy the emotional impact of the showdown between the two men and Arlene during the film's finale. To first-time viewers unfamiliar with the film, the jilted lover's appearance at the end comes almost out of the blue, causing confusion as to who he is.

In spite of these alterations/deletions, the box proudly announces the film is fully restored. Sorry, Fox, but the term restoration does NOT mean alteration or condensation. And with the various advances in such technology, it is amazing to see how artificial the colorization still looks, at least on this film.

Big Bad Mama

No BBFC cuts noted to the 2010 Nouveaux DVD

The uncut region 2 DVD is available at UK Amazon
The uncut region 1 DVD is available at US Amazon

Review from UK Amazon: Roger Corman 70s b-movie

Big Bad Mama is the archetypal Roger Corman 70s b-movie, with the monsters and sci-fi of the 50s and 60s replaced by plentiful low-budget action, tongue-in-cheek humor and mandatory nudity from almost every actress in the cast in a fast-moving Depression-era backroads gangster flick.

Angie Dickinson is the Ma Barker figure tryin' to do right by her two gals, stumbling her way from bootlegging to armed robbery to kidnapping with the aid of Tom Skerritt's bank robber and William Shatner's Southern conman (unfortunately the mandatory nudity rule also applies to him, though we are spared the sight of the captain's log).

Mostly this has few aspirations beyond throwing in as many shootouts, car chases and nude scenes from Ms Dickinson as it can in its 83-minute running time.

The original running time was noted as 84:00s = 80:38s

Summary Review: Worth seeing!

A unique prison film on the grounds that it provides a great mix of comedy and action. Pam Grier as a tough revolutionary provided all the action as she plotted to free the mistreated women from prison. The comedy mostly came from the sexually deprived women, who were full of one-liners and crazy notions.

But of course the movie still contained all the things that make a good prison exploitation film....lots of nudity... violence... bad language and did I mention lots of nudity. It's worth seeing!

Summary Review: Broken Oath of Non-Violence

A young man sworn to an oath of non-violence works with his cousins in an ice factory where they mysteriously begin to disappear.

As one might expect, the whole movie is an excuse to show off Bruce Lee's moves, and they do a great job with it. There's not much in the way of an actual plot. They get straight down to the martial arts. Probably Bruce's most violent and bloody film.

Summary Review: Naive Silly Fun

The whole film has a tone of naivety despite of its run of sex and violence. The plot couldn't be more simple: a group of women in prison, led by the resourceful Collier (top-billed Judy Brown), plan an escape. Guards torment and molest prisoners. Prisoners get naked (though not as much as you'd expect for this genre). One evil head guard, Lucian tortures bad girls by tying them to tables and hanging snakes over them.

The fast paced film is surprisingly well acted, and delivers all the usual thrills you would expect, with a few witty lines and some hysterical monologues.

Review from imdb: Good Script

My interest in Italian cinema is usually limited to horror films, but I made an exception for this crime flick - and I'm certainly glad that I did! Actually, The Big Racket isn't a world away from the popular Italian Giallo styling, only instead of having a vicious murderer on the loose; we have a small town at the mercy of a group of organised thugs. For a film with this sort of plot, it's surprising just how good The Big Racket is. Italian films from the seventies have a bad reputation for not making a lot of sense, but not only does this one make sense - it benefits from a great, multi-angled story as well.

The film sees a bunch of criminals sabotaging local businesses and asking for protection money from the owners to make them stop. The police presence in the town is largely ineffective, with the exception of one man - Inspector Nico Palmieri.

The Big Racket benefits immensely from a strong leading performance courtesy of Fabio Testi. Testi's portrayal of the angry police officer is perfectly judged to fit the movie, and I don't think there is an actor who could be better suited to playing the lead in this movie.

The script is really good, and finds time to flesh out its characters as well as deliver witty dialogue that is always a part of this movie's bigger budget American cousins.  It all boils down to a fabulous conclusion which serves in ensuring the movie gets the bloody end it deserves, as well as rounding off the story perfectly.

Summary Review: Engrossing Mystery

This was Dario Argento's debut feature, a well-received thriller in which an American writer living in Rome (Tony Musante) witnesses an assault on a woman in an art gallery and is subsequently targeted by the would-be assassin, a crazed psychopath who's been terrorizing the city with a series of brutal murders.

It is a fairly straightforward thriller with horror asides, anchored by a strong narrative, an increasingly bizarre series of supporting characters, and a strong Everyman hero who slots the puzzle together piece by piece before realizing that the most important clue to the killer's identity was there in front of him all the time.

Producers were unconvinced of his directorial abilities and wanted to pull him off the picture during the first few weeks of shooting, but Argento persevered under an iron-clad contract and ultimately proved his critics wrong with the finished product, a genuinely engrossing mystery punctuated by scenes of explicit horror.

Summary Review: Just Keeps Getting Better

In the same vein as Oldboy comes A Bittersweet Life, a movie so good it shocked me when watching it for the first time. It's a violent revenge movie with a gripping story with some fantastic actors such as Byung-hun Lee.

As reviewer K. Jones has put it, this movie mixes violence and emotions in an excellent way, and even if the violence is a bit too brutal at times, you still have a lot of "nice" things to fall back on. There are a lot of action elements and the movie is quite stylish to say the least. Yet you still really care about the characters and what's going on.

This is easily one of the best Korean movies I've seen this year, and a movie that I will probably enjoy watching many times in the future.

Black and White

No BBFC cuts required to the UK cinema and video releases of 2000.

Encountered problems with the US censors and had to be cut to achieve an R rating as described below. I am not sure which version was released in the UK but it seems to be a minute longer than the US R Rated version.

Black And White is a star-studded tale of rich white kids in New York City who become obsessed with uptown hip-hop culture and eventually find themselves entangled in a murder investigation.

The scene that aroused the MPAA's concern opens the film. Bijou Phillips, Kim Matalova, and rapper Power, from the Wu-Tang Clan are getting it on in a sexy three-way make-out scene in the woods in Central Park. Unbeknownst to them, a group of boys look on. There's something dark and brooding about the setting, but all three members of this menage are clearly willing participants.

The producer speaks of the MPAA: First they say 'The scene in the park with the guy and two girls is problematic.' While they won't say 'This is what we want you to do,' of course they mean that without that scene the movie would get its R-rating. The rating was unfair. They wanted us to cut the scene and the director wasn't willing to do that.

The uncut and cut versions end up being very similar: a little less kissing between the two girls, the camera doesn't linger on an exposed bottom for quite so long there, and instead of tweaking her partner's nipple, one of the women now cups the breast instead.

All are minor changes, and the gist of the scene is still there, but nonetheless, it's been changed. Moreover, the changes appear to be arbitrary: three seconds of girls kissing is OK, seven seconds is not. Handling a breast one way is fine, but touching it another way is taboo.

Review from US Amazon: Sexploitation

A poor horror film with even worse cliched ending, why the 3-star rating then? Simple. If you're looking for sexploitation in a satanic cult-themed horror film, you've hit the jackpot with BLACK CANDLES. It is surprisingly wall-to-wall sex-scenes (have your finger on the fast-forward button ready when the 'tender love scene' involving a goat appears).

Overall, 3-stars. But honestly, add 1-star on the strength of BLACK CANDLES alone if you enjoy softcore in your horror. Subtract 1-star from the 3-star rating if you actually want a good horror film with a decent ending that doesn't jerk you around.

Review from UK Amazon: Suspense filled

Made in 1974, Black Christmas was one of the first "slasher" movies.

Set at Christmas time, the story has a group of university female students living together in a house on campus where they are subjected to obscene telephone calls. Mouthy, drink loving Babs (Margot Kidder) likes to answer the caller back, but sensible Jess (Olivia Hussey) feels he should not be encouraged.

Before long the girls and their house mother are being murdered one by one. The suspense which builds to the killings is truly chilling and, unlike modern films of the type, there is no reliance of blood and gore to create horror. As the police battle to trace the source of the calls the girls must stand together and face the terror which has come to their door.

I suspect the 18 rating is caused by the frequent use of the C word in the obscene phone calls. There is little gore or blood and without the language this could easily have been rated 15.

Well worth purchasing for fans of a well made, well paced horror drama which keeps the viewer engaged with lively characters and a suspense filled plot.....

• UK 1975 cinema release

From cuts details on IMDb

The hardcore version was submitted by Optimum Releasing in 2008. It suffered 1:39s  of BBFC cuts. In order to obtain an '18' certificate six cuts for sexual detail were required. An 'R18' certificate was available without the cuts.

From cuts details on IMDb:

The "hard" print contained a brief sequence of shots of explicit penetration during the scene in which Emanuelle and Gianni first make love. These shots were performed by doubles, not by Angelo Infanti and Laura Gemser, neither of which were informed of this addition at the time.

One extra shot was also included during the tribal dance scene of many tribesmen running their hands over Emanuelle's body as she lies on the ground.

Summary Review: Voluptuous

In her one and only screen appearance, the insanely voluptuous Sharon Lesley takes over the role of Emanuelle, who's now confined to a Manhattan psychiatric clinic with an acute case of amnesia, depraved fantasies and Daddy-delusions of the highest order. Her doctor attempts to unravel a Freudian check-list of incestuous hunger, lesbian-longings, misplaced aggressions and errant nymphomania before her traumas take permanent hold.

Sharon Lesley is a marvel to behold - a pretty face, gorgeous eyes, absolutely perfect natural breasts, a bubble-butt, curvaceous to the Nth degree. And she looks fantastic in the stylings of those wicked 70's when she's not naked.

Summary Review: Emanuelle in Egypt

The film revolves around a family of women living in Egypt. The mother (Nieves Navarro) spends her time getting it on with her native manservant and a handsome, much younger spiritual guru (Al Zombie Cliver). The older daughter gets off on teasing and tormenting the manservant when her mother's not busy with him. The younger daughter Laure (Annie Belle) also shows up, apparently returning from school. Finally, you have friends of the family played by real-life couple, Laura Gemser and Gabriele Tinti. Gemser is playing a character called Emanuelle, but she doesn't seem like the same chirpy, world-renowned photojournalist Emanuelle she plays in all the other movies.

Needless to say much softcore sex ensues--which is really the only reason watch this. Gemser looks very lovely, but she is not as good as she usually is.

From cuts details on IMDb: Softcore

French director Claude Mulot helmed this retelling of a Balzac-inspired tale of a struggling sculptor obsessed with a beautiful Caribbean muse in late 19th century Paris.

Mulot must have had a real budget to work with because it's all up on the screen; sumptuous gowns, top hats and tuxedos with tails, manor houses, cobblestone streets, carriages, ballroom dancing, a classy sounding score, and a bevy of beautiful unclothed females. Jones shows off her achingly beautiful body several times, and virtually all of the women in the cast strip naked at one time or another. Look for 1963's British sex scandal icon Mandy Rice Davies as one of Venus's benefactors. Mulot uses the camera and the storyline to spice up the sex scenes much more than the expected contorted positions and exaggerated huffing-and-puffing. His choice of a character's voice-over works quite well to move Black Venus along for its 80-minute running time.

As an example of what softcore porn can aspire to and be in an age of Skinemax flicks, it's well worth checking out.

The US DVD release was also heavily cut for an R rating with appreciably different cuts to the UK version which turns out to be the most complete.

• In the opening scene where Sweet (Matthias Hues) attacks a group of thugs the UK version is the most complete. In the UK version when Hues lifts up and headbutts a thug the camera pans down the thugs face revelaing blood pouring from his mouth. In the US DVD the scene cuts away before the camera reaches his mouth. The DVD is also missing several punches to the next thugs ribs. The thug lying on the bed who gets his arm broken is cut indentically in both versions.
• The scene where Dillon (Don Wilson) enters the dead prostitutes room is cut in the UK version. In the DVD we see a close up shot of the woman lying on the bed which is cut from the UK tape.
• The scene where the thugs attack Shanna's house is cut on the DVD. The knife wielding thug that attacks Dillon get his arm broken in the UK tape before he is thrown through the table. On the DVD the arm break is missing.
• The scene where Sweet attacks the two men on the street has been cut for the UK version. We should see Sweet lift up the first thug and headbutt him but this is missing from the UK tape (but surprisingly a photo of that exact scene is printed on the back of the tape).
• The scene where Sweet kills Dillons partner is cut on both versions. Close up punches to the face have been cut from the UK version. Sweet breaking the mans neck has been cut differently on both versions. In the UK version Sweet grabs the mans head and says 'Time to...' but the remaining dialogue (presumalby 'Time to die') is missing and the man is lying on the floor with his neck broken. The DVD is also missing the neck break but all of the 'Time to die' dialogue is also missing.
• The final martial arts scene in Dillon's apartment has been cut differently in both versions. All scenes showing Nunchaku sticks have been cut from the UK version. Various snippets of martial arts have been cut from both versions. The scene showing Sweet impaled on a sword has been cut from the DVD. In the UK version the camera pans down showing Sweet staggering about with the sword impaled through his chest and blood pouring from his mouth. The DVD cuts away before the camera reaches Sweet's chest.

Review from UK Amazon: An absolute hoot

An absolute hoot from start to finish, this Blaxploitation riff on Bram Stoker's seminal Gothic horror has William Marshall's African Prince unintentionally offending the original Count Dracula, consequently becoming the titular vampire and running amok in 1970s LA. The 1973 follow-up Scream Blacula Scream sees the Count resurrected through the power of voodoo; notable only for its casting of the classy Pam Grier, this is a lame and pointless sequel.

The of their times Not so special effects and hammy performances ensure these films' status as camp classics; this is somewhat ironic as the films were originally designed to be serious Blaxploitation horror flicks.

The BBFC noted the submitted running time as 89:17s = 85:43s

Blade Heart Episodes 1-4

The US release is uncut and MPAA Unrated for:

• US 2007 Blue Underground R1 DVD at US Amazon

See version details from dvdcompare.net:

• The film was originally shot for Italian television. However, the final cut of the film ended up for theatrical release, at least in its English language form. This version was uncut in terms of being a final director's cut for international distribution.

  However, a longer version running existed in Italian. The extra footage doesn't add much in the way of plot development or gore, but it does achieve a more layered, character-motivated approach than the consumer friendly earlier cut. Some of the restored scenes include Bruno making a pay booth call to Julia's boss, more atmospheric night scenes of Bruno exploring the house, a longer build up to the second murder, and several extra red herring bits involving Stanko Molnar as the groundsman, fondling scissors and generally acting suspiciously.

Review from UK Amazon: Highly recommended

This is a brilliant. I consider it to be a true masterpiece.

This is a dubbed Italian film but the acting is really good. This film is like a whodunnit, only with good gore scenes, nothing over-the-top but more violent than most films take it. Tensely built up and a few moments that will make you jump.

If you watch Scream then you will see how they stole a lot of ideas from this film, seeing as how Kevin Williamson wrote that I'm not at all surprised.

Highly recommended.

• 2007 Warner R0 Blu-ray
• 2007 Warner Ultimate Collectors Edition R2 DVD
• 2007 Warner Special Edition R2 DVD
• 2007 cinema release

The BBFC commented:

BLADE RUNNER is a well known science fiction film which was first released in 1982. This version was passed '15' for some strong violence, including bloody gun shot impacts. As in other versions of the work, this was thought to be containable at '15', as none of the violence contravenes the BBFC guidelines at '15' which state that violence 'may be strong but may not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury'.

BLADE RUNNER also includes one muffled use of strong language, brief nudity and mild sex references.

Thanks to Dave:

• The death of Priss is much more violent. Ford shoots
  her three times or so and the camera really lingers on
  her blood oozing body which is graphic to see.
• Roys killing of his genetic creator by pressing his
  fingers into the eye sockets shows graphically blood
  and brain matter squirting out for several seconds.
• Roys self mutilation shows the nails going into his
  hands in greater detail.

The BBFC passed the Extended Version (US Unrated) was passed 15 unuct for the 2005 EIV DVD

The uncontentious version details are described on IMDb

• The Unrated Edition reinserts 2 major scenes amounting of 10 minutes. The first one is an exchange between Drake and Danica where both shared their past including Drake being there during the crucification. He then seduces her. The other one is right after the final fight between Drake and Blade. The doctors were about to perform an autopsy on Blade when he just simply gets up as if resurrected and leaves the morgue. However, the fate of the doctors were not revealed.
• The unrated extended edition also has a very different and much more ambiguous ending than the theatrical release.

The consensus is that the extra material does not contribute to the film

Summary Review: Pretty Damn Cool

An utterly barebones production, flatly pathetic acting, stilted and pointless dialogue, and lots and lots of ultra-phony gore.

Of course, this is pretty undisputedly the first real gore film, so horror fans pretty much have to see this. And, even if it weren't so important historically it would be worth seeing anyway, cause it's pretty damn cool either way.

You get flaying, leg severing, heart extracting, tongue ripping, brain snatching etc. And, while the gore effects are incredibly dated, they aren't quite as cheap and old as I would have imagined. The blood itself actually holds up fairly well, and looks better than much of the stage blood you'd see over the next 20 years or so. It's actually red!

Passed 18 after 23s of BBFC cuts for:

Review from UK Amazon: Harmless Fun

The story of the Count trying to infiltrate the down at heel Italian nobility family is quite interesting. Dracula, the last of his family, can't find any more werrgens (as Udo Kier memorably puts it) in Romania so his servant has the idea of going to Catholic Italy, where they must be growing on trees.

In Italy he gets himself invited to visit a poor noble family and their four unmarried daughters. The parents are delighted that the allegedly rich Count may take a shine to one of their daughters and boost the family coffers. However the Count is only after virgin blood! Unfortunately thanks to Dallesandro's character the middle 2 daughters no longer qualify as virginal, though the Count has to find that out the hard way, leading to much vomiting and blood regurgitation.

The acting is pretty good. Udo Kier is more low key than in Frankenstein as the ill and melancholy vampire, though I don't think anyone can vomit blood better than he does here!

With all the blood and nudity the film shouldn't be taken too seriously but I certainly enjoyed it. Harmless fun!

Any film with Christopher Lee is worth watching and this one also has naked girls, snakes, bandits, poison kisses and the lovely Brazilian countryside. Sure it is inferior to the first three Fu Manchu movies but it is a beautifully produced edition by Blue Underground of a less than good movie with excellent technical quality and a fun documentary.

Review from imdb

Another in a long line of terrible straight-to-video movies. This is one of those that need to be not seen and never heard from. The only reason that I didn't give this movie a straight zero was that low budget movie queen Debbie Rochon was in the picture and she was hot to look at.

Other than that I wouldn't give it the time of day. Billy Drago looks like he drank all of his money. He could barely stand up and all he did was mumble his badly written dialog. He tries to come off like Udo Kier. But Udo's cool and he can still deliver a performance. Billy Drago was just too painful to watch. A bad movie all around that doesn't warrant a further look.

Review from US Amazon: Eating Live Rabbits

The Ghastly Ones (a.k.a. Blood Rites), Andy Milligan's first horror film, is a 1968 film shot in cranium-cleaving color at his Victorian mansion on Staten Island. After a prologue in which a couple with a really large umbrella are hacked up by some guy, this movie has three daughters and their husbands at a reading of their late father's will. It is his wish that the couples spend three days in the family mansion in sexual harmony, and then they will find out who gets what from the old man. But once there the handyman is eating live rabbits, the couples start fighting, and then people start dying and showing up as the main course at dinner.

It takes a long time to get to anything remotely close to the required sexual harmony and even longer for characters to start dropping, but once they do, they start dropping like flies. But by then you might be asleep. It has been a long time since I have seen a horror film where nothing happens for such a long time. But if you are loose for a high content of cheese with your blood and gore, you will not be disappointed.

Blood Simple

The Restored Version or Director's Cut was passed 18 uncut for the 2004 Universal DVD and 2006 Optimum DVD

For the 1998 restoration, the Coen brothers not only remixed and re-recorded new sound effects for the stereo soundtrack, but made some minor trims to various scenes and dialog:

• Maurice asking a bar patron at the jukebox what night it is and realizing it's "Yankee Night", he explains he's from Detroit, thus justifying his intervention of the patron's musical selection.
• Ray sticking his cigarette in the stuffed warthog's nose at Marty's house, and the following lines: RAY: You gonna leave all this stuff? ABBY: It's all Marty's.
• After Marty suggests to the P.I. the "incinerator" as a means of destroying the evidence of his proposed murder, the P.I.'s line: "Sweet Jesus, you're disgusting!" is deleted.
• A couple lines from the landlady showing Abby the studio apartment (mainly assuring her Abby won't be bothered at that location) before she starts yelling at her ex-brother-in-law, are deleted.
• As Marty opens his safe to retrieve the bounty money (and swap the photo) his line: "This is an illicit affair" has been removed, although he can still be seen mouthing it.
• When the P.I. shoots Marty, a couple shots are removed of Marty and the P.I. staring at each other after the gunshot.
• When Ray and Abby are discussing "what happened", in her studio apartment, and Ray feels cold enough to rise from his seat, the shot of him steadying the walrus piggy-bank is removed and his dialog is heard off-screen to cover this change.
• When Abby goes to see Maurice about her concerns, the scene cuts as soon as she enters. In the original version, the scene continues and she is seen inside his place and he pours a drink while assuring her that Marty is not dead, even though she is very worried that he is. Some of the dialog from inside the house is placed over the shot outside Maurice's door before Abby goes in, in the 1998 version.
• A new page of credits is added at the end, covering the restoration.

Summary Review: Haunting imagery

The film is noted for the haunting imagery photographed by veteran cinematographer Fernando Aribas.

Alexandra Bastedo (well known for TV role in The Champions) stars as a lesbian vampire lusting after a honeymooning bride.

There's a little nudity and some gore scenes to mixed effect.

A good atmospheric play on the Carmilla legend that would have been even better if more tightly paced.

Review from Amazon UK: Well edited

When I got this out I wasn't expecting much at all. But I was pleasantly surprised at what I got. It is well structured film (like a real 80's style with a distinct beginning, middle and end not like crappy shallow 90's films which just meander along and feel really empty)

Daniel Bernhardt is really charming, a good fighter and looks strikingly similar to Van Damme in some shots. It has one of the best chessy training scenes like the one in kickboxer. The fight scenes are well edited and well shot, so they are easy to watch and not to close-up. For fans of 80's cheese (even if this is a 90's film) and lots of mano a mano fight scenes this should fit nicely in your collection.

Bloodsport III

A Bloody Aria

• Guta-yubalja-deul

The BBFC cut 3s when submitted in 2009: Company was obliged to remove sight of a bird being snared and then killed.

The BBFC explained their 18 rating:

A BLOODY ARIA is a subtitled Korean drama about a music professor and his female student, who encounter four men on a remote beach. This film was classified '18' in accordance with BBFC Guidelines, for strong bloody violence. There are various fights between the men, and also a schoolboy, which result in heavily bloodied faces and injuries. Towards the end, there is a scene in which one of the main villains is beaten up by a policeman, who becomes quite sadistic, using his helmet to hit the man in the face and on the head repeatedly.

The film also contains strong language and two scenes of attempted sexual assault. The first scene involves the lecherous professor trying to have sex with his student in the car and we see his hands groping at her under her clothes, and pulling her knickers off. There is no nudity detail, and the student manages to run away. In the second scene, the student is taken into the back of the car with two men. The intent is clearly to rape her, but nothing ever happens. There is some terrorisation of the characters by their attackers, but the darkly comic tone of the work helps in some way to alleviate this.

The fighting scenes are not very realistic but cool anyway. A classic!

This is an amazing movie. It's basically an exploitation movie with the production values of an historical drama. The acting is outstanding, particularly Christopher Lee and Maria Rohm.

Blue Underground have scraped together a magnificent print, taking elements from the various released and unreleased versions of the movie to produced an excellent film that's never existed in this form before.

Given the patchwork history it seems like the movie should be a mess, but it all hangs together very well. The inclusion of alternate versions of some scenes in the extras department is very educational.

Review from IMDb: Not the Worst

This movie is basically the infamous Jess Franco having a go at the American-style slasher films that were big in the early 80's, and what's most remarkable about it is how unremarkable it is. It's pretty violent, but except for one nasty knife exit wound there's nothing here that hasn't been done in hundreds of American slasher movies.

Why this movie got singled out for a banning in Britain is beyond me.

The most lurid thing about it is the original (very misleading) Spanish title Colegialas Violadas. (which literally translates to "Raped Schoolgirls")

It's set at an adult Spanish-language school which seems to cater exclusively to incredibly dumb and slutty German and Scandinavian women.

The girls are being stalked by two of the reddest herrings imaginable. One is a burnt youth in a Mickey Mouse mask. The other is a gardener who is always laughing maniacally and coincidentally wielding the exact same implement that has just been used to kill the latest victim.

The best thing I can say about this movie it is it is so over-the-top with its dumb victims, obvious red herrings, and ridiculously gory murders that it might have actually meant to be a parody of the slasher film. It also has some competent cinematography and is relatively zoom free. It's certainly not the WORST film Franco ever made.

The film has 2 main versions. The original Italian version, Il Boia Scarlatto ran 83 minutes. The full length version was released on VHS by Something Weird under the title A Tale of Torture (1993).

The US Version was shortened for pacing and was titled The Bloody Pit of Horror (1965) running for 74 minutes.

The US DVD release from Image Entertainment and Something Weird Video is the shortened 74-minute American version, offering the 9 minutes of deleted scenes as supplements. The scenes were not restored due the fact that the quality was not as good as the main film, which was transfered from an original 35mm negative. This extra footage is expositive scenes (e.g. more of the photographic crew looking around the catacombs, more of the models posing for camera shots...) but no extra gore or nudity.

From version details on IMDb:

The Theatrical Version has a scene where Kate drives to the the TV-station and involving a crazy stunt when she drives in to a narrow alley and meets a police car that comes the other way. To avoid a disaster, Kate flips her car on its side, hits its roof on a wall and flips back again.

In the shortened version, the stunt is gone. We only see the car when it enters the alley and then we see it driving on the freeway with strange damage on the roof.

From IMDb:

The original cut of the film had an intermission and may have run as long as three hours. Landis was asked to cut the film after premiering a lengthy director's cut. That version has been lost. Landis originally tried to restore the original cut several years ago, but found that Universal had thrown out all the outs, trims, negatives, and mix tracks. Landis and George Folsey Jr. restored 18 minutes from another preview print on an AVID for the Collectors' Edition, and correctly timed the picture so that Stephen Katz's photography looks as it was intended to look.
