Review from UK Amazon: Strange little film

This is quite a strange little film. Jake (Wasson) is a claustrophobic, B-Movie actor who has just been fired from his latest film when a friend invites him to look after an apartment for a few days. While there, Jake becomes a voyeur of a scantily - clad woman who performs some erotic dance routine nightly, on the dot. Jake unwittingly becomes a stalker, not just of the mystery woman, but of her other stalker! Inevitably, Jake witnesses her murder.

I say this is strange because I find DePalma confusing. He is such a skilled director, but at times it seems as if he is oblivious to his own cheesiness. The majority of this movie is fantastically directed, the scenes on set of the low budget vampire flick, the battle at the end (and the excellent cross-over to the said vampire film) and the surreal music video within a film featuring Frankie Goes to Hollywood on a porn set, this is quite an experience. Then there's the strange scenes like where Jake is kissing Gloria (the woman he's been stalking) and the camera pans around them in circles, in slo-mo, while soppy music plays, for what seems like an eternity. It really is embarrassing to watch. It's these occasional dips in quality, and some of the over-long scenes (especially with Melanie Griffith) that warrants this film only 3 stars.

It's worth mentioning that Craig Wasson is incredible in this film. He fits the role perfectly, an amazing, shamefully underused actor. Very convincing. It's definitely worth getting hold of this movie, just be wary of the cringe-worthy moments.

• Holly (Melanie Griffith) line of dialogue regarding what she wont do in porn films is cut. For the faint hearted cover your ears now: I will not shave my pussy. No fist-fucking. Absolutely no coming in my face
• The last shot of the video is reduced with a fade-out that appears 4s early. This masks out the BBFC no-no of blood on the breasts.

Review from IMDb: Worth Watching

As one starts watching this movie, one thinks at first that it is a routine TV quality movie. It appeared at first to be a rip off of the theme from Madonna's Body of Evidence. Both movies rely on the sexuality of the female stars. I for one am glad that I watched this movie.

Shannon Whirry's sexuality makes this mediocre movie worth watching. One scene in particular where she is recounting a tale to the psychiatrist while simultaneously teasing him by stripping and doing body gymnastics literally under his nose is unforgettable. She alone makes this worth watching.

The other characters in this movie are memorable only to the extent that they are reacting to the hot sexual aura put out by Shannon Whirry. At least for males this is a much better than average movie.

Body Weapon

Video version cut in August 2000 with the following BBFC note: Cuts required to images of rape, sexual violence and humilation in accordance with BBFC policy on sexual violence

According to the Bullets 'n' Babes website the video has been improved by the cuts!

Anyway the cuts are as follows:

• The opening scene is missing the woman's strip and part of her pleasuring attempt on the killer. The subsequent longshot of her with a plastic bag on her head is also missing.
• The 2nd cut scene is the rape of Cheung. Her stripping to underwear is shortened and the scene cuts when the two assistants startt pushing her. The uncut feature shows them pushing her and hitting with a pillow for a further minute.
• The 2nd rape of Cheung is also shortened. A scene showing Slashface's buttocks against her leg has been removed.

• UK 2004 Hollywood R2 DVD via UK Amazon

Review from imdb: One of the better horror films

I was surprised that this movie got such a low rating, to me it's one of the better horror films I've seen in some time. Ulli Lommel allows the horror in this story to gradually build until it erupts in very frightening and disturbing and occasionally blackly comic ways.

The boogeyman's appearances in the film are effectively kept very brief, he doesn't become a silly charactor of the Freddy/Jason mould. Ulli lommel keeps the location barren and banal and uses them in inventive ways. The scenes in which the disturbed deaf brother paints over every mirror in the house is brilliant and foreshadows a lot of scenes in clean-shaven.

The cuts were:

She gets thrown on a bed and bound pretty much the same way as her brother Willie in the opening sequence. Somebody is sharpening a big butcher-knife, intercut with close ups of her scared face. The cut version starts off again with a shot of the shining knife being raised.
• When the girl in the bathroom gets forced by "the Bogeyman" to stab herself with a pair of scissors, some shots of blood running down her breasts got removed.
• A shot of the above mentioned girl's body (with bloodstained breasts) in the bathtub was significantly shortened.

This is very different version to the Original Version.

Summary Review: Re-hash

The Boogeyman is a minor 80's classic. The story is pure hokum, but the film is full of absurdly grotesque murder sequences and extreme gore. Ulli Lommel and his buddies must have been so proud on their accomplishment that they decided to re-use all the best footage to fill up almost three quarters of the sequel.

Boogeyman II is stuffed like a Christmas turkey with key footage of the original, and that's the main reason why it receives so many negative reviews around here.

Boogeyman II is 50 minutes of stock footage and 25 minutes of non-stop new murders. The new massacres are very lame in comparison with those of the original, though. Death by electric toothbrush and suffocation in shaving gel, for example. The film still got included in the infamous list of video nasties, but only because of the stock footage of the original and not because of the ridiculous new murder set pieces.

• Rocco shoots the Mafia-Guys in the bar: The headshot and the shot in the chest are cut away on the DVD. You only see the blood coming out of the back of the bench.
• Shoot out in the pool-room: one scene is cut which shows several bullet hits in the body of the guy who opens the door.

• Mo

The BBFC cut the 1984 cinema release by 26s for an 18 rating.

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

Review from US Amazon: Exuberantly bizarre

The Boxer's Omen is a phantasmagoria of grossness, questionable special effects, gawdy visuals and Buddhism that is so exuberantly bizarre I couldn't wait to see what would happen next.

Part of the movie is a kickboxing revenge story, which is the only part of The Boxer's Omen that isn't insane, but the rest of it deals with the wildly hallucinatory conflict between Buddhists and practitioners of the dark arts.

The special effects are audaciously bad at times, particularly those involving animals. I swear that the bats and spiders in one part looked like plush toys, or something similar.

The black magic in this movie is the source for most of the grossness. Whenever one of the dark priests casts a spell, they usually chew up all sorts of nasty things and spit them out, sometimes repeatedly. There's also one part where they slice open an alligator, toss its guts out on the floor and then stuff a corpse inside in order to raise it from the dead. I just watched Jungle Holocaust where an alligator gets sliced open and has its innards strewn about, so I think I've had enough of that sort of thing for a while.

Because this movie exists almost entirely in the realm of the supernatural, it doesn't always make very much sense. The protagonists are Buddhists, so maybe possessing knowledge about the religion will put some of the occurrences in this film into perspective. Otherwise, the viewer can only go along for the ride and throw reason to the wind. I guess it is best classified as fantasy/horror with a small amount of martial arts thrown in. There's also a little T&A, for those so inclined.

If you have a difficult time suspending disbelief or like movies that make sense, you probably shouldn't watch this. I'd also recommend avoiding it if you find rampant, garish blood and gore disagreeable. Otherwise, it's worth experiencing at least once for the mindboggling weirdness alone.

Boy Meets Girl

Uncut version is available at:

Unrated

UK: Passed 18 uncut for:

• UK 2001 Imaginary Films R2 DVD at UK Amazon
• UK 1995 cinema release

US: uncut and MPAA Unrated for:

• US 2008 Unearthed R1 DVD at US Amazon

From Dark Star magazine: Banned

Boy Meets Girl is a bold and important film. It is full of subtle and controversial arguments. To dismiss it because of its bondage/sadistic trappings (as some have already done) is to miss the point entirely. How else could the director have approached the subject matter? Possibly as a documentary, but then that would loose the frisson of making the viewer an active participant in the debate. It is a film of violent ideas but it is not a barrage of graphic images.

The BBFC has passed countless numbers of films more violent than Boy Meets Girl, yet refused to give it a certificate. As the director of the BBFC, James Ferman must take the responsibility for denying you, the public, the chance to see a film which, for once, has a totally violent subject matter but does not glamorise it. Which is more than can be said of so many Hollywood studio pictures Mr Ferman has gladly issued certificates. Explicit violence has always been a contentious issue in cinema, but never, in a so-called democracy, should honesty about violence be treated like the glorification of violence. Shame on you Mr Ferman. For all its minor faults (most often due to the low budget) a film like Boy Meets Girl does not deserve to be treated in the manner it has been in Britain.

• UK 1995 Kino-Eye VHS

• Blood from a toilet stall killing has been deleted
• Brian eating brain in a dream sequence has been toned down.

Review from US Amazon: Addicted

1988's BRAIN DAMAGE is the second film from low-budget Grand Guignol writer/director Frank Henenlotter, his first being the grisly over-the-top cult favorite BASKET CASE (1982), and both films established him as the master auteur of bad-taste horror cinema in the 1980s. But despite of the excessive gore and crude sexual elements, Henenlotter's films are a cut above the average trash pics because his well-written scripts are weaved around a daedal subtext that offers wry comments and observations on certain elements or aspects of modern society. With the visceral horror comedy BRAIN DAMAGE, Henenlotter is satirizing the Western propensity for addiction.

BRAIN DAMAGE relates the "mind-blowing" tale of the Faustian bargain made between a young man named Brian and an enigmatic, snake-like parasite named Aylmer (pronounced like the name ELMER). Aylmer dispenses an addictive pleasure-inducing drug directly into Brian's brain, but as payment for each "fix," Brian must transport Aylmer around the city so the parasitic pusher can obtain his favorite food--human brains. Though Brian is generally a nice young man who wouldn't hurt a flea, he finds it impossible to resist the demands of the deceptively cute parasite because of his need and desire for the psychedelic "juice," and he ultimately becomes Aylmer's accomplice in murder.

With a meagre budget of circa $600,000, Henenlotter and crew have nonetheless succeeded in crafting BRAIN DAMAGE as a polished, professional-looking film. Yes, the violence is graphic, sophomorically comic, and often over the top, and yes, the film has a crude, puerile sexual element (snake-like Aylmer is obviously a phallic symbol). But these elements actually enhance the film's earnest anti-addiction subtext, as they vociferously underscore the negative effect that addiction has on an addict's personality, his personal life, and the lives of others with whom he has contact.

• UK 1988 Palace VHS
• UK 1988 cinema release

Note. The BBFC cut 18s from the cinema release. The distributors cut 22s before submitting the video. Presumably the same cuts have been applied.

Thanks to Andy

I've seen this version many times and can confirm that the ear pulling scene was not cut, the cuts were to the nightclub fellatio scene, were all shots of the groin area were removed.

• Brain eating thing, Elmer, is seen emerging from a guys fly at the nightclub as if for a blow job
• A girl is forced to take Elmer in her mouth again as if for a blow job
• Blood is seen coming from the girl mouth soon followed by her brain.
• Elmer with brain in tow then withdraws back to the guy's trousers

Cut first to achieve a US R rating, plus an additional 2s BBFC cut for cinema/video/DVD/Blu-ray versions from 1995 to 2009

The BBFC cut:

• The front view of Wallace's (Mel Gibson) revenge cutting of the magistrate's throat, has been substituted for a less graphic side shot to obtain a 15' cert from the BBFC. The death of Wallace's wife has not been cut as widely mis-reported.

The MPAA inspired cuts:

• Mel Gibson implemented cuts to remove copious bleeding from sword and axe wounds in the battle scenes to achieve a US R rating. The UK cinema & video version was further cut by the replacement of the front-on view of Gibson's beloved having her throat slit by a less explicit rear view.

Review from Amazon US: Fake Blood

The plot is at the kindergarten level. It's just a crazy man killing people in gory methods, often doing obscene things with the corpses. His "friends" help him along the way and participating in one murder during his birthday party, of which some of his presents include an inflatable sheep!! The atmosphere is really bad.

The cinematography is terrible, like the rest of this masterpiece. It's obvious that it's shot with camcorders and edited with VCRs and other low-tech equipment. The picture is faded and the hues are awful.

The SFX, ugh!! Basically, it has a lot of fake blood, fake wounds, ripped out eyes, and several fake penises -- yes, penises!! The sound is like through a tunnel.

This is, without a doubt, THE WORST MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN!

Bride of Re-Animator

Bride Wars

The 2009 20th Century Fox DVD was passed uncut by the BBFC but the certificate was raised to a 12.

The BBFC explained their decision: BRIDE WARS is a comedy starring Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway, who play two women who have been friends since childhood. They find their friendship tested to the limit when their weddings are booked on the same day due to a mix-up. The DVD release was classified '12' for moderate language and sex references.

BRIDE WARS contains two uses of moderate language - an aggressive use of 'bitch' to describe a female character and a character saying 'Mother F' when she hears her wedding date has been double booked. Though the latter is only an implied swear word, these moments of dialogue were too strong to be contained at 'PG'. At 'PG' the BBFC's Guideline state that there should be 'mild bad language only'. In addition mild language in the film includes the use of "ass", "God", "damn", "fricking" and "bitchy", the last used without aggression.

The mild sex references include an extended comedic sequence in which a woman visits a strip club for a hen party, and dances with male dancers on stage. They wear sparkly shorts and she joins them to dance in hotpants. There is no nudity during the sequence. Dialogue also includes references to a character being "too sexy" and brief verbal references to sleeping with people. These sex references could have been contained under the BBFC's Guidelines at 'PG' which state that 'sexual activity may be implied, but should be discreet and infrequent. (There should be) mild sex references and innuendo only'.

Bridget Jones's Diary

The BBFC cut the 2001 cinema release and 2001 Columbia/TriStar DVD were cut by 1s for a 15 rating

• The dialogue Careful, you ham fisted cunt! is overdubbed ham fisted cow!.

On the DVD, the offending dialogue was not cut from the commentary track. This was not spotted until after the release and the distributors have now re-released the commentary cut as per the main film.

Before you rush to buy the US DVD, there are subtle differences between the same scenes in the USA and UK versions of the movie. This includes not only different takes of the scene, but sometimes different dialogue. For example, one version of the first job interview has a question about "the El Niño phenomenon", others have a question about Microsoft. In addition, during the credits, the USA version has a home movie of Mark Darcy's 8th birthday party with the young Bridget. The UK version has interviews with the various characters about the new relationship between Bridget and Mark.

Review from US Amazon: Cult classic

17-year-old Mark Gregory stars as Trash, leader of The Riders - a motorcycle gang that survive in the Bronx of the future. Crime has supposedly risen to such impossible heights that the police have abandoned the Bronx to its own devices - the gangs now rule the streets.

Originally made in Italian (although filmed in the Bronx) as I Guerrieri del Bronx, this cult classic was later dubbed into English. Only recently released in its uncut version, it was notorious for its violence and suffered extensive cuts in both its original UK and US releases. It also featured a lot of real Hell's Angels as the supporting bikers.

It has to be said that these days the violence in it looks quite restrained and won't shock as many as it once did. Suspension of disbelief is definitely required in order to deal with gangs who roller skate or tap dance, but the imagery of it all remains quite vivid.

R Rated

The BBFC cuts were waived for an 18 rating for:

• UK 2003 Michael Lee/Vipco R2 DVD

• A longer scene of the Riders discovering the body of Chris by the pier.
• After Sandy and Speedy's cremation all the Riders take a handful of cremated ash and throw it into the river in a ritual.
• A conversation between Anne and Trash on the beach, just before she is kidnapped by the Zombies, where she says she wants to leave because she feels responsible for all the deaths that have happened and Trash makes a speech about how "death is part of life, we live with it and it's scent gets on our skin". (This also makes Anne's dying words to Trash make a lot more sense at the film's close).

Review from IMDB: That delinquent Trash person

The semi-tough, actually rather effeminate Mark Gregory is back as that delinquent Trash person in Bronx Warriors 2, which in my opinion bests the original. It's faster-paced, with more action and more dead bodies, and Mark Gregory's acting has even improved.

The story gleefully ups the bleakness quotient, with most of the Bronx gangs having retreated into subterranean hideouts as Disinfestation Annihilation Squads raze the blighted neighborhoods to make way for fascistic urban renewal. Anybody who's seen the first Bronx Warriors knows Trash isn't going to put up with that.

If you're in the mood for a cheap 80s action flick that delivers the goods, Bronx Warriors 2 has more than enough gun battles, flamethrowers, exploding miniatures, people dying and flying through the air in slow motion, and scatological dialogue to satisfy.

From cuts details on IMDb:

• The Vipco DVD release of Bronx Warriors 2 is the most complete British release yet including the previously snipped Shotgun Butt in Helmet Visor and Hostages Rigged with Bombs scenes, plus the slightly longer flame deaths. It is however marginally trimmed in the opening minute with the first victim (comes flying out of a second floor window during the opening credits). We do not see the Disinfestors then give him a good hiding unlike previous releases where they beat him unconscious.

From cuts details on IMDb:

• Cut to the "hostages rigged with bombs" sequence (originally a hostage deliberately ran at a Disinfestor so the bomb goes off in his face)
• Strike hitting a Disinfestor in the helmet visor with his shotgun butt causing his face to turn to red mush.

Summary Review: Cronenberg get noticed

The Brood was David Cronenberg's third feature release and the film that got him noticed outside Canada and the horror genre. With heavy weight actors Oliver Reed and Samantha Egger, Cronenberg's excellent script and a story more psychological than outright horror, though there are a few gory scenes, Cronenberg was onto a winner.

This is a film that stays with you long after the final credits have rolled. Get this DVD now! it should be in your collection.

The distributors also issued a pre-cut 15 rated cinema version to extend their box office reach. This versions is identified as the Snipped version.

The BBFC commented:

This film was originally shown to the BBFC in an unfinished version. The BBFC advised the company that the film was likely to receive an '18' classification but that the requested '15' certificate could be achieved by making changes to three scenes. In particular the BBFC suggested that the company remove the majority of a montage of exaggerated sexual activity between Bruno and his boyfriend; Bruno comically miming fellatio and anilingus as he pretends to have oral sex with a deceased person with whom he is in contact through a medium; and sex between couples at a swingers' party and aggressive sexual dialogue at the same party. When this version of the feature was submitted these changes had been made and the film was classified '15'. A previous version of the feature was submitted without these changes and was classified at '18'.

The BBFC explained their 15 rating:

BRUNO is a satirical comedy in which Sacha Baron Cohen plays gay Austrian fashion show presenter Bruno, who falls into disgrace and travels to the States in an attempt to achieve fame. This film was classified '15' in accordance with BBFC Guidelines, for strong language and strong sex references.

At '15', the Guidelines state 'There may be frequent use of strong language (for example, 'fuck'). This film contains a number of examples of this language.

The BBFC's 15 Guidelines on sex note that 'sexual activity may be portrayed but without strong detail. There may be strong verbal references to sexual behaviour'. Amongst other references and scenes Bruno contains implied anal penetration with a champagne bottle; clothed acting out of various sexual positions; and Bruno being comically whipped by a dominatrix. In all cases strong detail is omitted.

The BBFC Commented: Following the death of pop star Michael Jackson, the company chose to remove a sequence involving the star's sister, LaToya, which includes references to her late brother. Otherwise, the work remains identical to the previously classified '18' version.

The BBFC explained their 18 rating:

BRUNO is a satirical comedy in which Sacha Baron Cohen plays gay Austrian fashion show presenter Bruno, who falls into disgrace and travels to the States in an attempt to achieve fame. This film was classified '18' in accordance with BBFC Guidelines, for strong sex and strong sex references. At '15', the Guidelines state that 'sexual activity may be portrayed but without strong detail. There may be strong verbal references to sexual behaviour'. Both the scenes of strong sex and the sex references were considered by the Board to go beyond the '15' level, but acceptable at the adult '18' category. There are three strong sex scenes in the film. The first one features a montage of exaggerated sexual activity between Bruno and his boyfriend. The second shows Bruno comically miming fellatio and anilingus as he pretends to have oral sex with a deceased person with whom he is in contact through a medium, while the third scene features sex between couples at a swingers' party, with sexual detail obscured.

The film also contains some uses of strong language.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Dead Man's Party (Season 3)

Episode from season 3 suffered 2 cuts; one for violence, a neck break (to get a 12); the other for an imitable technique, hot wiring a car

Of course when it was screened on the TV it was uncut even though Channel 4 have been noted for appalling butchery when trying to show the series at a totally inappropriate time slot.

The uncut region 1 DVD is available at US Amazon

Thanks to Daniel

This episode was broadcast on TV uncut, but it was on BBC2, not Channel 4.

Channel 4 broadcast the spin off series Angel, and all but destroyed it with terrible maiming cuts. One particular episode concerning the possession of a child earned an "18" certificate from the BBFC (I think C4 showed it at 5:05 pm with cuts in excess of 6 minutes).

On the whole, the BBC were fairly restrained with the scissors screening Buffy until the seventh season, which they maimed because of the high level of violence involving knives which coincided with news reports of several high profile stabbings of teenagers. They did repeat all the episodes uncut in a late night slot a month or so later. The BBC only ever cut one episode of Buffy in a late night slot, and that was to delete a use of the word "Spaz" said in a comedic context. I'm guessing The Idiots would not be a big hit at the BBC.

The Bunny Game

Banned by the BBFC for:

• UK 2011 Trinity DVD

The BBFC explained in a press release:

The BBFC has rejected the sexually violent DVD The Bunny Game. The film follows a female prostitute who hitches a lift with a truck driver. The truck driver kidnaps the woman, restrains and forcibly strips her, and proceeds to physically and sexually abuse and humiliate her. The abuse of the kidnapped woman takes up the greater part of the film.

The Board's Guidelines state A strict policy on sexual violence and rape is applied. Content which might eroticise or endorse sexual violence may require cuts at any classification level. This is more likely with video works than film because of the potential for replaying scenes out of context. Any association of sex with non-consensual restraint, pain or humiliation may be cut. The principal focus of The Bunny Game is the unremitting sexual and physical abuse of a helpless woman, as well as the sadistic and sexual pleasure the man derives from this. The emphasis on the woman's nudity tends to eroticise what is shown, while aspects of the work such as the lack of explanation of the events depicted, and the stylistic treatment, may encourage some viewers to enjoy and share in the man's callousness and the pleasure he takes in the woman's pain and humiliation.

David Cooke, Director of the BBFC said:

It is the Board's carefully considered view that to issue a certificate to this work, even if confined to adults, would be inconsistent with the Board's Guidelines, would risk potential harm within the terms of the Video Recordings Act, and would accordingly be unacceptable to the public.

The Board considered whether its concerns could be dealt with through cuts. However, the pervasiveness of the abuse makes it very difficult to deal with The Bunny Game by means of cuts. If the company would like to attempt to cut this work in order to submit it in a reduced form, they are entitled to do so, but the Board can offer no assurances that such re-editing would be successful.

The decision to reject The Bunny Game was taken by the Director, David Cooke and the Presidential Team of Sir Quentin Thomas, Alison Hastings and Gerard Lemos.

The decision means that the film cannot be legally supplied anywhere in the UK.

Summary Review: Must Have

The Burning is hands down my favorite slasher film of all time,

I personally love the killer in the woods slashers the best and this is the perfect premise. This film starts as a flashback "of course"... The kids at a summer camp play a trick that goes terribly wrong on Cropsy the mean spirited grounds keeper and he is burned beyond recognition,

Flash back to the woods "summer camp " Cropsy returns to the scene of the crime to wreak havoc and spill PLENTY of blood. I personally don't see why they didn't make a sequel, Cropsy and his garden shears are scarier than Jason and his machete any day as far as I'm concerned.

This is a MUST HAVE for slasher fans.

• UK 1992 Vipco VHS

The total cuts were then :

• An attack on a prostitute loses shots of sheers stabbed into her stomach and of the girl in pain.
• The Death of Karen is missing reaction shots and the after effects of her throat being cut.
• Cuts to scene where Eddie gets his fingers removed with the assistance garden shears. (video cut only)
• Then further cuts to Eddie being killed by being stabbed with sheers in his neck. Also missing shots of the shears being yanked out requiring some force.
• There is a shot missing of a girl with a gaping wound in her forehead.

The uncut version of the video was banned as a video nasty in October 1983. It remained on the list throughout the scare and so became one of the collectable DPP39s
