Coffy

• Coffey

Initially banned by the BBFC for 1973 cinema release. Resubmitted with cuts and then further cut by the BBFC for 1974 cinema release. Passed 18 uncut in 1988. Uncut in the US

Summary Review : Blaxploitation classic!

Coffy is a nurse whose younger sister gets involved in drugs and is severely injured by contaminated heroin. Coffy sets out on a mission of vengeance and vigilante justice, killing drug dealers, pimps, and mobsters who cross her path.

Maxim magazine lists Coffy as number 7 on its list of the 50 best B-movies of all time, and there can clearly be no mistake about its status as a B-movie. Pam Grier shines in this hilarious action-packed blaxploitation flick where she first got her name as a 'black pin-up queen' during the early 70's.

This brilliant film mixes comedy right in there with the action. From the campy catfight scenes when Coffy dumps a salad bowl onto a blonde girl's head, to when King George makes his first appearance and steps out of his car in his pimp outfit, complete right down to the feather in his hat! The action is fairly consistent. There are a lot of guns firing off and endless catfights.

From IMDb. The BBFC cuts were

• Cut to the stabbing of Omar

Thanks to Craig who wrote to the BBFC who responded:

Coffey was initially rejected because the BBFC felt too many cuts would be required to make it acceptable at X and that these cuts would damage the film. However, the following year the distributor submitted a heavily re-edited version (renamed Coffy), which was finally passed X, I believe after further cuts.

From IMDb. The film was cut by MPAA to avoid an X rating, the killing of the Travis family was originally longer and so was the showdown, with blood explosions in close-up.

The BBFC also banned a trailer for the film in 1988.

The cut material exists in workprint form but has never been restored for a release, so the Theatrical Version is the best available

Review from US Amazon : Entertaining

This is not the greatest Bronson movie ever made but it is nonetheless entertaining. It does have one spectacular car chase or rather motorcycle pursuit on winding roads of south of France.

There are some nice performances and it's fun to see James Mason play a villain although he's a likable one. Liv Ullman is fine and Jill Ireland plays a hilarious rich hippie chick.

There are the usual plot absurdities but Bronson is the reason we watch these movies and he's no different here. He's a very likeable tough guy trying very hard to be nice around bunch of incorrigible villains.

From cuts details on IMDb

• Cut to remove the sound of a neck break
• cuts to a brief scene of nudity
• edits to the shooting of a man with a flare gun.

The original running time was noted as 93:03s = 89:20s

See The Dawn Rider

Collection

A drama centered on a group of people who all have a connection to a self-help book authored by a reclusive former football coach.

• US Online Rent/Buy [US only] at US Amazon

• 2011 Sony R2 DVD via UK Amazon and at US Amazon

See pictorial version details from movie-censorship.com :

The Extended Version is 3:57s longer than the International Version and includes more violence. The Director is said to prefer the International Version. This sounds a bit unlikely in that the distributors chose to only release the Unrated version on home video.

• 2011 EIV R2 DVD
• 2011 cinema release

This seems to be a version without the extensions for the Unrated version but at least has not suffered the US cuts for PG-13. Eg The BBFC noted 9 uses of strong language (eg 'fuck') whereas the US MPAA passed the film PG-13 with the comment contains brief strong language.

Come Play With Me

• David Sullivan's Come Play with Me

Cut by the BBFC for 1977 cinema release. The cuts have persisted to all releases since.

Summary Notes

A health-resort where both the clients and the employees easily take their clothes off and have a little fun is the setting of this sex-comedy.

The film was massively promoted by men's magazines associated with David Sullivan, eg Playbirds and Whitehouse. The advertising predictable suggested that the film was somehow harder than the soft softcore that the BBFC allowed at that time.

• 2015 Arrow RB Blu-ray/R2 DVD Combo at UK Amazon
• 2008 Optimum Releasing Video at UK Amazon

• 1988 Virgin Vision VHS

• 2003 MGM Home Entertainment R1 DVD

Thanks to Floyd:

According to dvdcompare.net the R1 America MGM is missing 1s. In the sequence where Vincent Price and Peter Lorre are attempting to keep a supposedly-dead Basil Rathbone inside his coffin. Price and Lorre finally "succeed" by both sitting on top of the coffin. On the DVD, this scene immediately cuts to one of Price and Lorre suddenly hitting the floor for no apparent reason. This is cut: Rathbone's character is obviously still alive, because he suddenly pushes the coffin lid upward with all his might, and you see Price and Lorre flying up and backwards onto the floor.

The recent region 2 Optimum release includes the scene in question intact.

The Coming

UK: Passed 18 after 1:11s of BBFC cuts for:

The Coming of Seymour

• The Boob Tube Strikes Again!

Banned by the BBFC for the 1976 cinema release

See article from templeofschlock.blogspot.com :

The softcore film was originally made as The Coming of Seymour but was released in the US as The Fabulous Fanny to relate it to a cartoon strip in Playboy. It was not a success and was reworked with extra scenes and re-released in 1977 as The Boob Tube Strikes Again!

The film is about a couple interacting with an X rated film on hotel TV. The film within a film is about the voluptuous cartoon character of Fanny, who dominates the daydreams of young Seymour. This sexual obsession stands in the way of his siring a child that will enable him to inherit the family fortune. Seymour thoroughly enjoys his attempts to impregnate as many beautiful women as possible, but each time he is unable to reach that million dollar climax.

• UK 1976 cinema release

From bigandya on www.pre-cert.co.uk : Commando Myths Dispelled

There is NO scene of Arnie whacking the bad guys with the severed limb, but there ARE  extra bits of gore that were cut for an R rating during the tool shed scene:

1. The pitchfork killing features additional reaction from the soldier as he dies and an extra shot as he slumps to the floor
2. Schwarzenegger throws a second circular saw blade which embeds itself into the neck of a bad guy, lots of blood, and more reaction from the soldier as he puts is hands to his neck.
3. The guy who is axed in the groin is shown in agony longer
4. The guy with the severed arm is seen lying on the floor, stump in the air, screaming for a second or two longer and for an extra shot when is crawling on the ground.

cut

• 2008 20th Century Fox RB Blu-ray

The BBFC commented in their 2006 Annual Report:

Commando had previously required two cuts for '18' to reduce strong bloody injury detail. These cuts were waived when the work was resubmitted, both to reflect public expectations following the Board's public consultations in recent years and because the cut scenes are now considered to have little impact on the tone of the work as a whole or its likely effect on an audience.

The MPAA cuts for an R rating were all during the tool shed scene:

1. The pitchfork killing originally features additional reaction from the soldier as he dies and an extra shot as he slumps to the floor
2. Schwarzenegger throws a second circular saw blade which embeds itself into the neck of a bad guy. Blood and reaction from the soldier as he puts is hands to his neck has been cut
3. The guy who is axed in the groin is shown in agony longer in the original.
4. The guy with the severed arm was originally seen lying on the floor, stump in the air, screaming for a second or two longer and for an extra shot when is crawling on the ground.

The UK laserdisc seems to have got by without BBFC cuts and the complete theatrical version was shown on Channel 4 in May 2008

pre-cut
26s

cut

• 2001 20th Century Fox R2 DVD

The pre-cuts which the UK (and R2 Scandinavian and R4 Australian) releases contain, have their origin in Germany. These cuts were imposed on German theatrical and video releases by the German censors,  FSK, in order to achieve an "FSK 18" rating. So these cut masters must have served FOX to produce their UK DVDs.

Thanks to Luis who has specified the cuts are as follow:

• 0:02:00 - Before the credits Cooke (Bill Duke), disguised as a garbage man, shots a man from a short distance. A scene in which he approaches the body and shoots it on the chest several times was cut. On the DVD we see him getting near and then lowering the gun and going back.
• 0:21:17 - Matrix (Schwarzenegger) hits the guy with him on the plane with an elbow. Then pulls a blanket over him to make it appear that he's sleeping. On the uncut version he pulls the head of the man down gently and breaks his neck, before covering him. In the censored version, the man is killed with a single blow or maybe died from a heart attack during his sleep!
• 0:45:30 - Matrix throws Cooke against some piece of wooden furniture on the floor (the impact is not seen in any version). We hear him moaning, and then Matrix gets near him. We then see a close shot framing Cooke's face, foaming a bit of blood from the mouth, and the wood spike coming from his chest. Matrix asks for his daughter: "Where is she?" then pulling the tie of the dying man: "Talk!" Another close shot of the face and the bloody mouth and chest. The DVD version cuts both close shots while also removing both lines of dialogue from Swarzenegger. It also cuts part of the moaning we hear from Cooke.
• 1:06:50 - Following to the fight scenes with the Big Ugly Hispanics (BUH), a cut is made when Matrix stabs one on the stomach
• 1:07:09 - A BUH is killed with a knife on the throat. The frontal shot is cut (it's not very bloody originally).
• 1:07:17 - Matrix killing another soldier is missing
• 1:08:34 - 5 shots cut to remove the one in which BUH is machine-gunned.
• 1.10:20 - After some more shooting with the machine gun, Matrix grabs his pistol. But before that shot, two others are cut: one has more BUHs being hit at a distance (probably the less violent deaths in the film...); another one is a close shot of a BUH being killed with two bullets on the chest (with some blood spilling).
• 1:11:38 - Here we're in the famous tool shed sequence.. A soldier approaches the door and opens it. He's stabbed by a pitchfork on the chest. This was cut in this version, even though they left the more violent scene in which a man is killed with a circular saw that cuts part of the top of his head.
• 1:11:40 - After the second saw, Matrix grabs an axe and a machete, he uses the axe between the legs of a BUH and then proceeds to the last Hispanic. He grabs his arm and cuts it with the machete. 5 shots where removed here, eliminating both deaths. On the censored version, after the last saw we see Matrix immediately grabbing a machine gun from the floor.
• 1:19:50 - During the "releasing some steam" scene, after Matrix throws a metal pipe at Bennett there's originally a close-up shot of the bad guy's chest with the pipe against it (there's no blood). We then see him moaning and spilling some blood from the mouth. The camera slowly pulls back framing Bennett and the pipe releasing steam. The censored version is  cut before the pipe enters the frame, passing for a shot of Matrix, which then delivers the line "Let out some steam, Bennett!" Much moaning is also cut with this; so, just like Cooke, Bennett has a much faster death with a bit less suffering.

The BBFC cuts were:

• In the uncut version Arnie grabbed an axe and a machette from inside the wall of a toolshed. Then he hit the guard coming through the door between the legs with axe, dropped him, and exited. He then grabbed the guard outside who was holding a machine gun and chopped off his gun arm with the machete. As the arm falls he pulls the machine gun away. The cut version makes it appear he's lifting the gun.
• At the end of the film where a close-up of the pole sticking out of Bennett's stomach has been cut

Summary Notes

A barbarian trained in the arts of war joins with thieves in a quest to solve the riddle of steel and find the sorcerer responsible for the genocide of his people in this faithful adaptation of Robert E. Howard's sword and sorcery adventures. This film briefly sparked a wave of fantasy films including the sequel, Conan the Destroyer, in the early 80s.

There's lots on the topic gathered from comments from the film makers at conventions and on commentary tracks etc. See conancompletist.com . The cuts seem to have effected the following scenes:

• Blood and gore removed from the battle of the Mounds
• Killing of Conan's mother mostly deleted
• Significant cuts to the violence in the snake feast scene. A lot of careful censorship by camera angle was used to limit nudity, but this was implemented in the original before submission to the MPAA.

TV showings have not picked up on the BBFC requirement to cut such scenes

Based on article from dvdcompare.net :

shortened

• 1987 Warner VHS

• 1982 cinema release

The cuts were:

• Several horse falls have been trimmed from the UK  versions in differing ways. One of which is from the opening raid on young Conan's village.
• The rest of the horse falls are from the lengthy stand-off in the desert, featured much later in the movie. One fall is severe as it caused by Conan hacking at the horses legs with a sword.
• A sex scene with the witch featuring a lost naked rump was also trimmed to remove 3 out of 6 groans

Conan the Destroyer

PG

UK:  Reported to be uncut for:

• 2012 High Fliers RB Blu-ray at UK Amazon

There is no entry for this version in the BBFC database

US: Uncut and MPAA PG rated for:

• 2011 Universal R0 Blu-ray via UK Amazon and at US Amazon

• 1995 Polygram VHS
• 1995 RCA/Columbia VHS
• 1990 RCA/Columbia VHS
• 1986 RCA/Columbia VHS
• 1984 cinema release

The BBFC cuts were:

1. 3 scenes of horse tripping have been cut from the start where Conan is attacked by net wielding soldiers.
2. Perhaps the clearest cut is the Camel Attack sequence. Conan (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and Malik are riding through the town. Malik points out a Camel, Conan talks to the camel, the Camel spits white goo over Conan. The UK Version then cuts to the next scene. The Uncut US version shows Conan smack the camel on the top of its head making it crumble to the floor. It was probably cut due to the issue of cruelty to animals.
3. The Horse tripping of Zula (Grace Jones) and Bombatta (Wilt Chamberlain) during the Elite Guard attack is trimmed

In dozens of studio emails unearthed by hackers, Sony executives; the director, Peter Landesman; and representatives of Mr. Smith discussed how to avoid antagonizing the N.F.L. by altering the script and marketing the film more as a whistle-blower story, rather than a condemnation of football or the league. Dwight Caines, the president of domestic marketing at Sony Pictures, wrote in an email on Aug. 6, 2014, to three top studio executives about how to position the movie:

Will is not anti football (nor is the movie) and isn't planning to be a spokesman for what football should be or shouldn't be but rather is an actor taking on an exciting challengeWe'll develop messaging with the help of N.F.L. consultant to ensure that we are telling a dramatic story and not kicking the hornet's nest.

Summary review: Mockumentary

A mockumentary showing the process of casting a porn movie, the legalities of underage wanna-be participants and the effects of becoming a porn star.

Trying to play it as an actual documentary, it doesn't really work but it is interesting nonetheless. A so-called snuff element comes into it at the very end but is rather disappointing. The only redeeming feature is actual deleted scenes from Wes Craven's Last House On The Left, which they play up as actual snuff footage.

US: The XXX European Version is uncut and MPAA Unrated for:

Summary Review: Hardcore Inserts

Famous undercover journalist Emanuelle teams with her friend Cora Norman to uncover a white slave ring that traffics in women kidnapped from various locales around the world.

Emanuelle Around the World is one of the more shocking of the Emanuelle series, right up there with Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals and Emanuelle in America. Effective on an undeniably crass but immediate level, this is the kind of cinema that drips animal savagery and guilty pleasure -- exactly the type of subversive cinema that has moral police gasping in the isles (or masturbating in the closet).

The Euro XXX version of the film features a few brief clips of penetration & fellatio in orgy sequences (not with the stars of the show, however), but generally the sex portrayed is of the standard soft-core variety.

Summary Review: Truly strange

Set in a land ruled by an evil sorceress called Ocron and her cruel followers. Two warriors unite to bring her down but she too knows about them and seeks to destroy them.

Lucio Fulci's stab at the fantasy genre is truly strange and highly enjoyable and therefore a must see for fans of Fulci.

It's a lively affair with much action as well as some of the most strangest looking monsters you're ever likely to see.

Being a Fulci film you are guaranteed gory moments and Conquest doesn't disappoint as there are bloody set pieces throughout. Yes the effects at times are laughable but it all adds to the fun and it's accompanied by a pounding score by Claudio Simonetti from Goblin.

• 1983 cinema release

From IMDb. The BBFC cuts were:

• heavily reduced shots of nudity
• cut close ups of sores bursting open
• removed the beheading of the woman and shots of her brains being eaten.

This is the original US version before it was cut down to achieve a US PG. From IMDb:

The US uncut version includes alternate opening and ending scenes, which were excised due to poor audience reaction and a need to keep a PG rating. In the opening, a police patrol tracks and kills a gorilla, which is shown to have numerous cuts and welts. Breck later references a gorilla who turned on his master and was killed.

In the ending, Caesar allows the apes to beat Breck and the other humans to death. Breck does not cower, but faces his executioners. Lisa does not say "No" and Caesar makes no speech counseling compassion. There are also additional shots of apes and humans bleeding from gunshots, and apes stacking bodies of riot police.

Summary Review : Odd and cheesy

A former astronaut helps a government agent and a police detective track the source of mysterious alien pod spores, filled with lethal flesh-dissolving acid, to a South American coffee plantation controlled by alien pod clones.

This was a very odd and cheesy Italian gore flick, it was a mix of horror and science fiction and it was directed by Luigi Cozzi.

While Contamination was a decent film I just didn't think it was that good, the first half was very promising as we get to see some impressive gore scenes with the exploding stomachs but then the second half kind of loses steam and becomes slightly boring. The green alien eggs were a knock off from Alien and you could tell that this film was trying to cash in on its success which was typical of Italian horror films at the time, some of these films were of course great cause you can't take them too seriously and they were usually gorier than the original films.

Contamination has some pretty bad acting and the direction from Luigi Cozzi was rather low-key with some scenes looking a bit too dark, the pacing was a bit uneven despite having a great opening sequence which had some great suspense and the film also has a weak plot, but if your a gore hound then you won't mind since there were plenty of great gore scenes.

Summary Review: Super erotic and homo-erotic

Retired professor of American origin lives solitary life in luxurious palazzo in Rome He is confronted by vulgar Italian marchesa and her lover,  daughter and daughter's boyfriend renting an apartment on upper floor of his palazzo. From this point his quiet routine is turned into chaos by his tenants' machinations, and everybody's life is taking unexpected but inevitable turn.

Lancaster, as you would expect, is exceptional. His reluctant inclusion into a lively family dynamic is superbly rendered and absolutely believable. Filmed in stagnant shots within cramped quarters, the characters seemed all but trapped with one another.

This is Visconti's penultimate film which marks the culmination of his career as a master of Italian cinema. Super erotic and homo-erotic scenes that are humorous and titillating.

A surgeon discovers that he can restore the beauty to his girlfriend's scarred face by murdering other women and extracting fluids from their pituitary gland.

Laser Killer , the title of the continental version, adds a lot more exploitation elements, most notably in the scene where Cushing kills a Soho prostitute.

Cotton Comes to Harlem

Cut by the BBFC for an X rated 1971 cinema release. Not released since in the UK. Uncut and MPAA R rated in the US.

Promotional Material

One of the most influential Soul Cinema pix ever to shoot onto the screen, Cotton Comes To Harlem spawned the Blaxploitation boom by delivering a "refreshingly different detective action yarn with soul and humor" (Cue) and an unbeatable mix of "humor and excitement!" (Los Angeles Herald-Examiner). Detectives "Gravedigger" Jones (Godfrey Cambridge) and "Coffin Ed" Johnson (Raymond St. Jacques) are on a case investigating a crooked Reverend (Calvin Lockhart) - a brother whose "Back to Africa" campaign is nothing more than a big scam. But when $87,000 of the Reverend s laundered cash gets stashed in a bail of cotton, Gravedigger and Coffin find they're not the only dudes suddenly interested in soaring cotton prices as they come up against the mafia, the police, black militants and street thugs in an all-out dash to nab $87,000 cash. One of the handful of films directed by acting great Ossie Davis (Gordon s War) with a top-notch supporting cast that includes Redd Foxx, Cleavon Little, J.D. Cannon, John Anderson and Eugene Roche.

Countess Dracula

The BBFC originally asked for cuts but these were waived on appeal.

Summary Review:  The brilliant Ingrid Pitt

In medieval Europe aging Countess Elisabeth rules harshly with the help of lover Captain Dobi. Finding that washing in the blood of young girls makes her young again she gets Dobi to start abducting likely candidates. The Countess - pretending to be her own daughter - starts dallying with a younger man, much to Dobi's annoyance. The disappearances cause mounting terror locally, and when she finds out that only the blood of a virgin does the job, Dobi is sent out again with a more difficult task.

Director Peter Sasdy may have let the brilliant Ingrid Pitt run a little wilder amongst the drab sets with the roles of Bathory young and old, but her joy at hamming it up helps place this as one of the better later Hammer productions. Nigel Green and Maurice Denham give twitching support.

Summary Review: Sordid flesh festivities

Two wealthy aristocrats lure a virginal girl to a Spanish island for a night of sex, death and cannibalism.

Half the film is devoted to Sapphic sessions and sordid flesh festivities just shy of pornography. Franco is the ultimate cinematic voyeur and his films appeal to those with voyeuristic tendencies, and what they always lack in plot development offer prurient interest and degenerate lust as compensation.

Franco stable mate Howard Vernon's back as his usual creepy self, the baron chef with unusual culinary skills and a smile that would make your skin crawl.

All in all, I found this to be a really enjoyable watch

• 2012 Mondo Macabro R1 DVD at US Amazon

The tag, Director's Cut means that it is the original film before Franco started to splice in hardcore inserts. Normally these are a bit of a negative, but when they involve Lina Romay I think I would prefer the version with the inserts.

Summary Notes

Since a road accident left him with serious facial and bodily scarring, a former TV scientist has become obsessed by the marriage of motor-car technology with what he sees as the raw sexuality of car-crash victims. The scientist, along with a crash victim he has recently befriended, sets about performing a series of sexual acts in a variety of motor vehicles, either with other crash victims or with prostitutes whom they contort into the shape of trapped corpses. Ultimately, the scientist craves a suicidal union of blood, semen, and engine coolant, a union with which he becomes dangerously obsessed.

Summary Review: Brave Attempt

The film adaptation, directed by David Cronenberg, becomes a futuristic love story set in the present . James (James Spader) and Catherine (Deborah Kara-Ungar) are a married couple so filled with inertia that they are desperate for some emotional connection by any means necessary. After a series of extra martial encounters they find themselves attracted to a group of disturbed members of a bizarre car-crash sect who enact famous car crashes for kicks. The pair soon find themselves willing accomplices in a tableaux of violence and desire until finally they attain some provisional approximation of actual love. Kara-Ungar's portrayal of Catherine exemplifies perfectly the icy detachment of a woman who appears to be observing herself from another galaxy.

Crash is, above all, a brave attempt to explore an almost un-bearable subject - the death of affect and our unconscious desire for violence.

See article from sbbfc.co.uk : Banned in Westminster

Perhaps in the light of the continuing media onslaught against the film, Westminster Council - who had previously given permission for the film to be premiered in their area as part of the 1996 London Film Festival - parted company with the BBFC at this point, insisting that cuts should now be made to the film before it was shown in the West End. The distributors declined to make cuts solely for screenings in Westminster and the film was therefore effectively banned from screens in the West End, including Leicester Square. However, cinema goers could easily see the film in neighbouring Camden where the council allowed the film to play uncut with its BBFC certificate

Crawlspace

Summary Review: Psycho Genre

This is one of the last examples of Hammer's psycho genre, similar in style and plotline to those the company made in the early sixties such as Maniac, Paranoiac, Nightmare and Scream of Fear/Taste of Fear.

It probably isn't one of Hammer's greatest achievements but is by no means one of the worst. The photography is very effective in places and the setting is quite haunting in a picturesque kind of way.

Summary Review: A Lurid Masterpiece

Ken Russell's masterpiece has cult movie written all over it. A lurid, extreme sex-and-violence fantasy porno-movie.

In the bravest and best performance of her career, Kathleen Turner plays the mystery woman who is Joanna, prim fashion designer by day and China Blue, the fantasy hooker to end all fantasy hookers, by night.

Her nemesis is Anthony Perkin's psychopathic preacher with the razor-sharp dildo. His is the kind of performance that goes beyond mere acting into some kind of crazy stratosphere all it's own.

 Barry Sandler's script is brilliant.

• Considerably reduced duration of mock rape of China Blue by removing much of the thrusting and the two most explicit Japanese erotic prints.
• During China Blue's S&M scene with policeman client, deleted emphasis on his truncheon being inserted and twisted in his anus, sadomasochism to be generalised rather than reaching a climax through anal penetration.

Uncut in the cinema, but 23s chopped from the CBS/Fox video
release of 1987

I seem to recall the cut having to do with a drugs joke (Paul Hogan pours cocaine into a basin of water and puts a towel over his head)

From the 1987 BBFC Annual Report:

Cuts to the comic scene of cocaine-snorting in the video of Crocodile Dundee, one of the most popular cinema films of 1986-87. Here small trims were required to remove not only the actual sight of sniffing, which on video now happens off-screen, but all dialogue reference to the nature of the substance by the sympathetic leading lady, who on film suggested an uncritical attitude towards the recreational use of cocaine. When the film was classified in early 1986, cocaine was not a major drug of abuse in Britain, and the scene was found acceptable because of its attractive comic tone. A year later, when the video was submitted, cocaine use had become a problem even for teenagers, and caution was called for in respect of a scene that might be viewed in the family setting for many years to come.

R Rated

No BBFC cuts to the cinema release and 1999-2000 Columbia/TriStar videos/DVDS

From article from cosmos.net.au :

The following cuts were mentioned in the UK DVD audio commentary with the director, producer and various crew members.

• At 9:31 a shot of Sarah Michelle Geller actually snorting cocaine from the crucifix pendant was cut, despite how obvious it looks.
• At 33:34 Sarah Michelle Geller says, Enough with the girl scout stories. Just fuck her already when Selma Blair's character is showing off to Ronald, her cello teacher.

Cruel Intentions originally scored a US NC-17 rating. The MPAA said that these minor moments had to be removed before an R rating was possible.

Cruel Passion

• Amori vizi e depravazioni di Justine
• De Sade's Justine

2:46s cut by the BBFC for 1977 cinema release and 1986 VHS. Cut by 19s for 1994 VHS. Uncut for 2012 DVD. US releases used the UK cut and then the uncut version.

Summary Review: Koo Stark is good as Justine

Justine is a nubile young virgin cast out of a French orphanage and thrust into a depraved world of prostitution.

She slips into a life of debauchery, torture, whipping, slavery and salaciousness. Meanwhile, her brazen, flirtatious and liberated sister Juliette ironically receives nothing but happiness and reward for her wanton behaviour.

Koo Stark is good as Justine, innocent, naive, and of course, beautiful. The film has great period detail is beautifully shot.

Thanks to Daniel, May 2008: Subliminally Different

Has anyone else noticed that although the new director's cut recently released in the UK restores the previously censored subliminal footage, the footage itself is different. In the original version, the footage was darkish but still distinct and in colour. In the new version it's bright, scratchy and in black & white! It doesn't even look like the same footage, and is clearly discernibly during normal playback which was not the case in the original version. Is it still genuine hardcore footage?  It appears Channel 5's uncut screening was of even more value than I first thought.

Censorship Reversed?

Now Cruising has been released on DVD for the first time. First off, the movie has been re-mastered and looks like a different film. What was murky or muffled before, now is crystal clear, especially the soundtrack.

Presumably this is the undoing of the censorship required for a US R Rating. William Friedkin spoke of MPAA censorship and cuts to obtain an R for Cruising. See  article from  clickonline.com

William Friedkin : Darkening or bits of smoke over a shot. I've done that with Cruising, where I went back 50 times before I got an R.

CLICK Magazine : Was it worth it?

William Friedkin: Well I'm happy the film was out but without their interference and small-mindedness and their censorship which is what it is. They hate that word. If they read that I've called them censors they will freak out.

• 2003 FilmFour DVD not released

The BBFC commented:

• Three compulsory cuts for 18 required to remove sight of explicit anal penetration by penis in two murder scenes

Presumably these cuts are to the much talked about subliminal shots.

Note that when Channel 4 screened The Celluloid Closet a few years ago as part of a gay film season, this documentary (a survey of homosexuality in the movies) included clips from this film, one of which was the cut sequence of (almost) subliminal anal penetration building up to a murder. These were fairly rapid film inserts, but you couldn't fail to notice them.

• 1997 Warner Maverick Directors VHS

The BBFC cuts were:

• 30 seconds were removed from the 1st murder, 7 shots. About 19 seconds removed of the killer gliding the knife over the victim's body. To bridge the gap, a shot which turns up later, (the killer grabbing something to tie the victim up with) is run here instead. 2 more shots removed of the killer tying up the victim. During the stabbing, 4 shots were removed, 2 of these shots were subliminal images showing hardcore anal penetration.
• ~29minutes into the film, a camera pan across one of the gay bars has lost 6 seconds (Just before the guy asks Pacino about the hankie).

There still exists one other subliminal shot during the peepshow murder, the image is so dark it looks like nothing. It's cut into the shot of the knife going into the victim's back.

Cry of the Banshee

Summary Notes

In Elizabethan England, a wicked lord massacres nearly all the members of a coven of witches, earning the enmity of their leader, Oona. Oona calls up a magical servant, a "banshee", to destroy the lord's family. (The "banshee" of this tale bears no resemblance to the normal usage of the term!)

Oh, yeah, and it was directed by the guy who would eventually bring you Rocky and The Karate Kid.

Curfew

Banned by the BBFC for 1988 VHS. Passed uncut in 2002.

Summary Notes

Two escaped brothers track down the people who sentenced them to death row, including a doctor and the judge. But when they get to the D.A. and his family they have an especially lengthy revenge plot in mind for them.

A pretty tasteless film packed with assorted moments of gratuitous nastiness (and a little bit of nudity for good measure), Curfew might not be to everyone's taste, but if you like exploitation, then you could certainly do a lot worse. Admittedly, the story is occasionally too clichéd (Stephanie working her womanly charms on younger brother Bob was very predictable) and some moments are rather questionable (the victims are locked in a cellar full of tools, yet fail to arm themselves), but as low-budget trash goes, this one's really not that bad.

Summary Notes

Dr. Frankenstein and his assistant Morpho are killed just as they bring their creation to life. The monster is taken by Cagliostro and he now controls the monster and plans to have it mate and create the perfect master race.

Franco's obsessions with S&M and naked women provide a spice to a very tired tale.

• The notorious scene in which a man and a woman are whipped until they fall onto spikes in a non-nude variant.
• The Spanish version also adds a complete subplot in which Lina Romay plays a peasant called Esmeralda.
• There are 5 extra filler scenes, with a total running time of 17:29 min. These scenes were apparently filmed some time after the original release.

• 1981 Go VHS titled The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein

Summary Review: A fine job

In Spain, Leon is born on Christmas day to a mute servant girl who was raped by a beggar. His mother dies giving birth and he is looked after by Don Alfredo. As a child Leon becomes a werewolf after getting a taste for blood on a hunting trip

Oliver Reeds portrayal of Leon Corledo is magnificent. He has a great presence and a roughness to him that is perfect for playing a man cursed with lycanthropy.

The movie is heavy on atmosphere and creepy visuals. Terence Fisher, one of Hammers prime directors did a fine Job in bringing to life the tale of the werewolf. This is another jewel in his crown of great horror films.

From IMDb. A gorier, Unrated Version was released on DVD featuring scenes with violence more graphic than what was seen in the theatrical PG-13 version of the film. The differences are as follows (includes Spoilers):

• In the PG-13 version, Shannon Elizabeth's character Becky is simply dragged away by the wolf at the end of the opening sequence. In the unrated version, Becky is torn in half and her bloodied upper-torso is tossed back at Jimmy and Ellie.
• In the PG-13 version, during Ellie's nightmare, she merely bites Joshua Jackson's character Jake in the neck. The scene then cuts to a quick montage of bizarre images before Ellie wakes up. In the unrated version, after Ellie bites into Jake, she's shown ripping a large chunk of his neck off and then a torrent of blood shoots out of his wound.
• In the PG-13 version, after Joanie knocks out Jake she starts looking for Ellie and Jimmy. In the unrated version, she first stops by Kyle's body, digs into the large gash in his stomach with her hands, pulls them out and then licks his blood off her fingers before proceeding to look for Ellie and Jimmy.
• In the unrated version, Joanie (in wolf form) is killed when she is shot in the head and her brains slowly ooze onto the floor.
• In the PG-13 version, the coroner discovers that Joanie's corpse has changed back into human form when her nude body is shown laying on the floor. In the unrated version, a sheet over her body is pulled back and only her face, complete with a bullet hole in her forehead, is shown.
• In the PG-13 version, Jake's death by decapitation occurs off-camera. In the unrated version, Ellie is actually shown stabbing him in the neck with the shovel a couple of times before finally cutting his head off.

The running time and consumer advice suggest that the US Unrated Version was submitted but reviewers suggest that the UK DVD release actually contains the Theatrical Version.

From cuts details on IMDb

There were 2 different versions of this film made for different markets. The first version was a straight forward action film, which was made for the US market (to get an R rating) and for countries like the UK where censorship restrictions where problematic. However the director filmed several additional extra gory scenes for use in Italy, Japan and other countries that demanded a "stronger" version.

These included alternate takes on the intro fight scene, the drug house massacre and the raid on the jungle camp, which featured additional violence nudity and gore.

Thanks to Simon:

The US Anchor Bay DVD contains the additional extra gory scenes in Italian language only (so the dialogue keeps switching between Italian and English) as they claim the extra gory "hard" version was never dubbed into English.

This is not the case as the Hong Kong video was of the uncut version and entirely in English. Also, there's a couple of scenes in the Anchor Bay DVD in Italian that were actually dubbed into English on the "soft" version, so there's no reason for these to be in Italian at all.

Review from UK Amazon : Slick jungle adventure

This is a slick jungle adventure that was first offered to Wes Craven but was given to Ruggero Deodato to direct.

The producers wanted a Cannibal Holocaust 2 and it shows with several scenes that is not for the squeamish but looking beyond that this is a big budget 80's horror/action adventure that boasts several standout performances and an outstanding score from Claudio Simonetti.

Given his brief screen time Richard Lynch gives a weird understated performance that was something out of Colonel Kurtz from Apocolypse Now.

Who also stands out even though he is given even less time than Lynch is Michael Berryman who has to be given the honour of having the greatest screen entrances of all time!! You have to see to believe!

Lastly was lifts right up above the rest is the pounding score by Simonetti, it creates the right mood for a jungle setting and switches pace with that of the movie. If anybody wants to know what the role of a score is, just watch this film.

Although this film does suffer from conflicting plot lines and confused genre direction, it is still a great film that is worth seeing.

US: Uncut and MPAA PG-13 rated for:

• 2009 Lions Gate R0 Blu-ray via UK Amazon and at US Amazon
• 2007 Lions Gate R1 DVD via UK Amazon and at US Amazon

• 2003 Momentum DVD

The DVD was planned as a 15 rated release but this was denied and the DVD was pre-cut for a PG.

From IMDb: This version differs from the VHS cut in several ways with some scenes being put back in and yet some still left badly cut...

• Restored: Before leaving the room in the opening scene, Morgan tells the man she's just seduced: "I got your balls."
• When the chain wraps around Morgan's neck in the tavern she is now pulled off backwards in a bad CGI shot that shows her landing on a table below.
• Restored: Morgan pushes the eyepatched guard off a balcony saying "I promised I'd take care of you later", paying off a line earlier that never made sense without both scenes.
• More fighting scenes, more slashing of bellies.
• When Dawg shoots his own crew member ("We need less mouths") it's obvious this still remains badly cut as the gunshot cuts off abruptly and we don't see the man taking the bullet.
• Restored scene: Morgan taking keys from the dead guard, accounting for 4s

• 1996 Guild VHS

Comparison between the original and the UK video reveal the following differences:

1. Cut dialogue: Before leaving the room in the opening scene, Morgan tells the man she's just seduced: "I got your balls."
2. Cut to Harry being hit by bullet
3. Morgan (Geena Davis) is frisked for hidden weapons but we miss 3s of a man with his hands on her breast
4. A shot of Morgan being pulled off the balcony by a chain around her neck has been reduced by 5s
5. Morgan eventually gets to head-butt the groper but we miss 6s of that revenge.
6. Captain Dawg's (Frank Lagella's) shooting of one of his own men has been cut by 2s.
7. Morgan rescues her crew and breaks a guard's neck. We miss 10s of this
8. Morgan is not seen taking keys from the dead guard, accounting for 4s
9. We are missing 1s of Morgan cutting a man's throat
10. 29s has been removed from Blair's (Rex Linn's) fight with a pirate on the bridge
11. A fight involving Glasspoole (Stan Shaw) is missing 3s accounted for a kick in the face.

• 1996 cinema release

From the BBFC (unconfirmed):

The cinema version was completely re-edited to remove the pervasive violence that would have made it a 15. Here, the failure of judgment seemed to be the film-maker's, in pumping up the mayhem at the expense of story and characters. Maintaining appropriate limits on the violence in family films must begin by acknowledging that there is less control of audience age in the home than in the cinema. It is sometimes necessary to impose further cuts on video. When everything else in a film is gratuitous, it is perhaps unsurprising that the violence should be gratuitous as well, in this case objectionably so.

Cutting Class

Passed 18 uncut for:

• 2004 Prism R2 DVD at UK Amazon

Review from US Amazon : A negative film

The plot is actually a combination of three distinctly separate stories, all of which focus on one character and their decent into heartbreak, madness, and in some cases, murder. The first story is called Cutting Moments, a bleak expose that, frankly, has no redeeming qualities. It opens with a man named Patrick (Gary Betsworth) trimming his hedges. Right away we see that he's completely detached from the world; looking him in the eye would be as meaningless as looking at someone on a television screen. He then forces himself to speak pleasantly (unsuccessfully) with his young son (Jared Barsky), who's just as detached as his father is.

And then we meet Sarah (Nicca Ray), the wife and mother. Apparently, Sarah fits the recently coined Desperate Housewife profile, struggling with the torment of feeling unattractive and unloved. She makes one last attempt at a moment of happiness with her husband by dressing in a flattering red dress and putting on lipstick. His complete failure to notice her sends her over the edge ultimately leading to one of the most disgusting scenes of self-mutilation I've ever seen. I'll spare you the details, although I will say this much: Patrick certainly notices her then. And something is awakened within him, something much darker. By the time you get to the final shots of them in bed, you'll understand what I mean.

So I go back to my original point: why did I like Family Portraits ? Maybe it's because--despite the repulsive gore, the wallowing characters, and the inescapable despair--it does follow a kind of twisted logic, one that centers on the reality of grief. This isn't to say that the film takes a moral stance against it; if that was the intention, the filmmakers certainly chose a funny way to get their point across. No, I think they were trying to say something else; specifically, that grief exists, period. It's a simple truth, but it's a truth nonetheless, and for a lot of people, it's something they have to live with everyday. Still, it makes you wonder: was there really no other way to say what needed to be said, even in a film about mental and physical suffering? Watching this is an emotionally draining ordeal, and if you don't prepare yourself for it, you just might lose yourself in a whirlwind of misery.

Doesn't sound like very much fun, does it? Oh well. It's a negative way to end a review for a negative film, and I'm sure that counts as something.

Cybertracker 2

Cyborg

• Masters of the Universe 2: The Cyborg

Cut for an MPAA R rating. This was further cut by the BBFC for 1990 VHS. The BBFC cuts were waived for 2000 DVD. There is a Director's Cut restoring the US cuts from a workprint.

Summary Notes

Gibson Rickenbacker is a hired fighter living in a plague-ravaged apocalyptic America where a plague has infested most of the United States and the rest of the world.

cut

MPAA

• 2000 MGM/20th Century Fox R2 DVD at UK Amazon

Cuts were made in the US to avoid and MPAA X Rating:

• A throat-slitting was reduced by near the start of the film.
• Cuts to the slaughter at the start of the attack on the village

cut

• 1990 Pathe VHS

The film was released around the time of the Hungerford massacre so that probably accounts for most of the cuts.

1. During the opening scene when the slinger is attacked by Fender's gang we do not see one punch to the face by the female thug, one punch to the ribs, one punch to the face and 3 kicks to the stomach by the male thug.
2. Fender cutting the slingers throat was actually an MPAA cut as a few scenes had to be toned down for an R rating.
3. When Gibs helps out the Pearl by stabbing the thug in the stomach with his own knife we fail to see a side on shot of this.
4. During the attack on the village, after Fender punches the man and say that he cant swim because hates the water we fail to see him grab a woman and says "Hey, I caught a nice fish here". The man screams for Fender to stop but he breaks the girls neck and picks up a wooden pole. A member of his gang opens tha mans mouth and Fender jams in the pole (this is offscreen). MPAA cuts were made to slaughter scenes at the beginning of the attack.
5. Heavy cuts were made to the wasteland fight with the thugs in the abandoned building. After the first thug trips Gibs with a chain we should see a blade attachment spring out from Gibs' boot. He then does a jumping spin kick cutting the thugs throat with the blade. We should then see a close up of the thug squirting blood from his neck onto the wall. We then fail to see Gibs grab another thug, break his arm over his shoulder and slash him twice in the stomach with the knife. We also fail to see him fight with another thug were the thug slashes him in the stomach and Gibs punches him twice to the face and then delivers 3 kicks to the thugs head. There are various other small snippets to the scene such as close ups of knives, weapons etc.
6. I am not sure about this but there is a scene just before we see Pearl's operation to become a cyborg. The scene shows Hayley sitting naked in Fenders boat. I may be wrong but I do not think this is in the UK version.
7. In the scene where van damme finds Fendor in the abandoned factory during the fight with the first thug when Gibs kicks him up against the barrel we fail to see him kick the thug in the face in a slow motion close up. When the next thug kicks Gibs in the face we fail to see the thug deliver another 2 kicks to Gibs' back before he falls over the edge.
8. During the chase though the swamps the fight between the two women is cut. We fail to see Nady sever the female thugs hand with a blade and stab her in close up.
9. When Gibs is fighting the thug in the water, he is grabbed and thrown to the ground by another thug. We fail to see Gibs boot blade appear and get snapped off by the thug.
10. Gibs is lying on the ground surrounded by Fenders gang and Fender says "Stand him up". The UK version cuts straight to him up on the cross. We should see a very lengthy scene were Fender constantly punches Gibs in the face. An exhausted Gibbs retailiates with kicks and punches but Fender easily blocks them and repeatedly punches Gibs face till he is nearly unconcious. He then removes his own sunglasses, smiles at Gibs headbutts him.
11. At various points in the film scenes of the young Hayley holding the barbed wire have been trimmed.
12. The fight in the barn with Nady and the female thug reduces chair shots, punches and kicks.
13. The fight with the long haired thug who says "I kill slingers" loses Gibs repeatedly kicking the thug in the ribs.
14. The end fight with Fender has been severely cut. Before Gibs is thrown through the car window shots of the two men trading puches back and forth have been cut. When van Gibs emerges from the car we, again, lose scenes of the two men trading punches. When Gibs stabs Fender we lose a close up of the knife entering his stomach. Finally in the barn when Fender is choking Van Damme we lose shots of Gibs giving Fender a double ear clap, an arm break, a close up side kick to the ribs, a punch to the face, several punches to the stomach, some form of attempted neck break, and several elbows to the stomach.

Summary Review: Campy Cult Gem

An airplane goes down in the ocean during a storm and a few survivors find refuge on a small tour boat. Swept out to sea, these people slowly starve to death in the hot sun with barely any food or clean water. With no place to turn, the boat survivors resort to cannibalism to stay alive..

Certainly an intense and at times campy little cult gem from Rene Cardon Jr.
