UK Amazon Review from US Amazon: Pure Italian sleaze Eaten Alive is one of the sicker entries in the much beloved cannibal genre.Mangiati Vivi follows the exploits of one Sheila Morris (Janet Agren) as she attempts to find out what happened to her sister Diana (Paola Senatore). She is put in touch with American expatriate Mark (Robert Kerman), a guy who will help find Diana Morris for the right price. What follows is pure Italian sleaze as Mark and Sheila tramp through the jungle. They finally stumble into Jonas's purification village. Then the film gets nasty. It doesn't take too long to discover that Jonas is an unbalanced cult leader who will stop at nothing to protect his flock from outsiders. There's also a tribe of dangerous cannibals nearby, a tribe that nearly finished off Mark and Sheila on their journey into the village. Jonas and the cannibals don't get along at all, but there is a benefit to having a bunch of flesh eaters hovering around the perimeter; they keep the followers in a perpetual state of fear, which keeps them inside the camp for further mind control fun and games. It's a bit frustrating to review a film like Mangiati Vivi because you can't talk in depth about the atrocities. Lenzi throws out a bit of everything, not only recreating the Jim Jones massacre on a small scale, grape kool aid and all, but also subjecting us to cannibal atrocities. The final scenes, with Diana Morris and cannibal film regular Me Me Lai falling prey to the cannibals, ranks right up there with anything you see in Deodato's Cannibal Holocaust.This stuff is so deeply disturbing and shockingly realistic, at least in certain parts, that one boggles over how something like this ever got made. |

The uncut region 1 DVD is available at
US Amazon Review from US Amazon: Classic Cannibal Flick Emmanuelle and the Last Cannibals is simply put the best of the cannibal exploitation genre and for a good reason. The plot is very simple, starts in New York, and ends up in the cannibal infested tropics, on a forbidden island. Sexy Laura Gemser is the investigative reporter who must find out what is going on with the strange symbol found on the victim in NYC. The jungle adventures are absolutely erotic, as everyone is constantly jumping each others bones. Including Gemser, and the sexy young blonde. That is until they run smack into the cannibals, and are inevitably captured, tortured, and eaten. Well, except for the sexy little blonde, who is stripped naked, and, well um, lets just say the cannibals had "other" ideas for her. Emmanuelle, however, is on the way, and to the rescue! Laura Gemser is without a doubt, one of the sexiest women in the world, of all time. She has an exotic look to her that is an incredible mixture of Native American, Polynesian, and Asian. Lets say it here, the absolute queen of 70's exploitation. All Hail Gemser! |

79:05s | 1976 Italian sex film by Joe D'Amato 13:03s pre-cut and an additional 5:49s cut by the BBFC for the 1987 VPD video Infamous exploitation movie supposedly mixing hardcore, bestiality and a bizarre subplot about the making of torture and snuff movies. Joe D Amato had this to say about those scenes...we shot the 'snuff' scenes in 35mm. Afterwards we scratched the negative and we printed it as 8mm, then blew it up to give it the illusion of reality... I don't know people think it is real, it's just some bullshit.. it's only a movie, you know? Joe D'Amato was asked how the rumor about the snuff footage being "real" got started and he had this to say:...we shot that footage in a warehouse with a lot of "extras" (actors). One of the girls in the scene wanted to make more money then she was making as an extra, so she filed a lawsuit saying that she was really abused during the filming.... Needless to say that with an entire film crew as witness to the fake acting, she lost the case. However, the rumour managed to circulate as truth.
The uncut region 1 DVD is available via
US Amazon Review from UK Amazon: Brutal Nights Joe D'Amatos Emanuelle in America is one of the most notorious Italian sleaze epics ever. The story is about journalist Laura Gemser who travels the world looking for all manner of perversions. Along the way she encounters a woman who loves horses, stays with a couple in Venice who hold big orgies, a hotel where old women pay for the services of willing men and a senator who likes snuff movies. Director D'Amato leaves nothing to the immagination with harcore sex, very disturbing snuff gore footage of women being tortured and the most famous scene a woman getting intimate with a horse!. If you like extreme sleaze cinema this film is a must see. |

UK Amazon Review from US Amazon: Alyssa Milano Nude Does this movie have a plot worth watching? No. Is it a masterpiece of staging and set direction? No. Will this movie show up in a retrospective of great American 20th Century cinema? Not a chance in hell. So what does this movie have? Well, Alyssa Milano, frequently nude, and occasionally in softcore sex scenes. Does that make it worth watching? Yes, definitely if you enjoy Alyssa Milano. Her portrayal of a naive, virginal co-ed rings a little less than true, but her seduction scene with the photographer alone is almost worth the price of the tape. The vampire orgy sequence and her dream foursome certainly round out the cost of the video. |

90:26s | 1974 French erotic film by Just Jaekin Cuts waived when the uncut Optimum DVD was submitted in 2007. From the 2007 BBFC Annual Report: It was given much consideration before it was judged that in the full context of an uncut classification it was clearer that there was no endorsement of the ‘rape myth’. It was consequently passed ‘18’ without cuts.
The uncut region 2 DVD is available at
UK Amazon Review from UK Amazon: Emmanuelle, released in 1974 was the first soft core porn movie to achieve major box office success, and this after the French government tried to have it banned. With utter predictability this ensured the film was an overnight success in it's native France, and it also went on to triumph in the USA where it was marketed as an art house movie. Directed by Just Jaeckin, who also directed The Story Of O the movie features some truly eye catching cinematography using the exotic Thai locations and the performance of the striking natural beauty Kristel is surprisingly good. The last third of the film degenerates badly with some excruciating dialogue and the introduction of some annoying characters and it's seems clear to me director and writers really had no idea where to take the film and the therefore the characters. Still, some of the scenes have retained a very pleasing erotic frisson and it has a certain charm and simplicity in this age of easily accessible internet porn, most of which makes Emmanuelle look like a Flake ad. As soft-core porn Emmanuelle is probably as good as you will see. Judged purely as a piece of cinema it's not that great but most people will view it purely as the former so it does it's job very well. |

Perhaps surprisingly given the later treatment of the film, a sequence in which Emmanuelle is raped in an opium den as part of her 'sexual education' was left largely intact, with only minimal cuts to reduce the amount of thrusting seen. |

UK Amazon Review from IMDb; Emmanuelle Exploitation Personally I found both the film and Olinka Hardiman boring. Its interest lies only with those "completists" interested in either Olinka Hardiman's nudity or the "Emmanuelle" series. However I doubt that this film has any relationship to the "Emmanuelle" series except for opportunistic exploitation of the title. |

98:16s | 1973 Hong Kong/US martial arts film by Robert Clouse The BBFC waived their previous for the 2001 Warner DVD with the following comment: Enter the Dragon has been passed '18' uncut. All previous film and video cuts have been waived. Throughout its history the Board has periodically reviewed its policies and adjusted them as the situation demanded. A review of the weapons policy was undertaken in June 1999 . The review concluded that the depiction of weapons in films and other media, and the nature of the 'weapons culture' in the real world was currently such that a firm distinction between different types of offensive weapon was no longer appropriate, and the policy has been rationalised so that knives, nunchakus, knuckle-dusters, ninja stars, and other easily obtainable weapons are now judged on exactly the same basis. Depictions of offensive weapons continue to be liable to cuts if they are considered likely to encourage violent behaviour in the real world. Enter the Dragon was resubmitted in its uncut form this year and, in accordance with the Board's revised policy, has now been passed '18' without cuts. The 21 second cut made to the brief use of nunchaku in 1993 has been waived. The uncut region 2 DVD is available at
UK Amazon Review from UK Amazon: Enter the World's Greatest Enter The Dragon is considered by many to be the greatest martial arts movie of all time and it's almost 30 years old. It was made on a small budget which doesn't show, even in comparison to recent movies of the genre. It has exotic locations on a worldwide scale such as Kowloon, a cast of thousands and a credible actor, John Saxon who was at the time a big star but stayed second billing to Bruce Lee because when Lee was on screen nobody else got noticed anyway. There's the excellent music score by Lalo Schifrin who was the man behind the original Mission Impossible theme and of course...Action! With such varied and visually stunning styles as Tai Chi Chuan, Hapkido, Tai Kwan Do, Karate and Lee's invention Jeet Kune Do, the action has never looked so unpredictable. This new DVD edition was well worth waiting for. If you've got any other version of this movie, get this anyway. For the first time in the UK it is completely uncut, with the infamous nunchaku scene reinstated, and it's even got extra scenes placed in the movie which were not even in the original cinema release. Own this now! |

94:33s | The BBFC cut the 1993 Warner video by 21s for an 18
certificate. In 1991 the Board modified its policy on nunchaku to some extent so that the weapon was no longer removed on sight. Essentially it was the glamorous use of the weapon in a violent film that was of most concern, and the modified policy reflected that. After 1991 a number of representations of nunchaku were passed but only when they were not actually in use or were displayed in non violent demonstrations of skill or served to establish the nature of a character. The video of Enter the Dragon was resubmitted again in 1993 for widescreen release. This time the two remaining violence cuts were waived, as was the brief sight of nunchaku being carried, in accordance with the new policy. The only cut made this time was to sight of Bruce Lee twirling and briefly using the nunchaku (21 seconds cut). Even under revised policy this scene was still not acceptable. |

The BBFC insisted that every last glimpse of nunchucks were removed. In addition, they made two cuts to the sequence in which Bolo despatches Han's incompetent henchmen:

In 1979 the BBFC made further cuts to the cinema version. The film was recalled so that a brief sequence in which Bruce Lee twirls and uses nunchaku could be deleted, along with another sequence in which nunchaku were briefly seen being carried. The decision was taken to make these further cuts because of the spread of nunchakus among youths in the London area. Concern had been expressed that the nunchakus demonstrated in martial arts films were being easily constructed and used by some violent individuals. As a result of concern on the part of the police and judiciary it was decided that this weapon, which has no legal use in this country outside the martial arts class, should be removed from violent films in order to discourage its spread. The weapon was subsequently proscribed by the Home Office so that it is now illegal to carry nunchakus unless en route to a bona fide martial arts school. |

A total of 43 cuts for the 1997 video version (including cuts totalling 27s for the 18 cinema version) The cinema release flopped in the UK so the distributor opted for a 15 release. The BBFC felt that they had removed the sadistic edge from most of the violence and revealed a good action thriller which proved to have far greater audience appeal.

79:51s | 2009 UK documentary by David Bond & Melinda McDougall The BBFC passed the 2010 cinema release 12A with the comment: During post-production, the distributor sought and was given advice on how to secure the desired classification. Following this advice, certain changes were made prior to submission. The BBFC explained their 12A rating: Erasing David is a documentary about one man's attempts to escape from what he sees as the increasingly intrusive nature of public surveillance and data collection. It has been passed 12A for strong language. The BBFC Guidelines at 12A state that the use of strong language (for example, 'fuck') must be infrequent. The film contains four uses of strong language, all of which are spoken by the film's director and subject, David Bond, in moments of extreme frustration. He is alone on each occasion and speaks only for the benefit of the camera. They are not, therefore, directed at any other person. There are two mild sex references in the film. The first occurs when one of the witnesses used by Bond talks about how his credit card details had been stolen and used to visit pornographic websites, including some containing indecent images of children. The other occurs when Bond's wife, examining the extent to which her family's personal details had been stored by a number of organisations, says I feel like I've been data raped. The Guidelines at 12A state that sex references should not go beyond what is suitable for young teenagers. In the context of this serious documentary the sex references would have been permissible at PG. |

UK Amazon See review from IMDb: Falls Flat With a cast that included Dyanne Thorne, Uschi Digard, Monica Gayle, and Vincene Wallace, this film should have been far more erotic than it was. Very disappointing. The sex scenes, the few that there are in this film, are cut way too short and should have been extended a lot more than they were. Since they aren't, the film kind of falls flat on the erotic front and that's too bad considering the talent especially in front of the camera. |

The uncut region 2 DVD is available via
UK Amazon Review from imdb: Raimi is already a legend Raimi is already a legend, because he created 'The Evil Dead', without a doubt one of the greatest horror movies of all time. Made on a shoe string budget as a labour of love, it still remains Raimi's best movie. He has subsequently worked on bigger projects with bigger names but it is arguable whether he has ever surpassed the invention, thrills, energy and sheer fun of this. And why Bruce Campbell never became a genuine movie star after his debut here, and not just a much loved cult figure, is a complete mystery to me. 'The Evil Dead' is a modern horror classic and absolutely ESSENTIAL viewing for any self-respecting movie buff! It doesn't get much better than this! |

Ash and his lady are off on a nice trip through the woods. They stop off and rest inside an old cabin. Does Ash realize that he's been here before, or hasn't he? Raimi and company (armed with a bigger budget and over the top special effects) bring us the second instalment of the Evil Dead series. This film focuses more on black humor and camp
instead of shock and horror. Technically this film is far superior to the
one that was release a few years back and in many ways it's a better film. |

However if you can stomach the gore this movie has a lot more to offer than you're standard hack and slash effort. There is a wonderfully intense atmosphere pervading the whole movie. The deaths are imaginative and are handled extremely well. The influences although obvious (Argento, Ramai and a brilliant tribute to Fulci), Japanese director Toshiharu Ikeda adds his own twist to the proceedings. If you are fed up of limp offerings that fail to deliver the goods then check this excellent film out. |

DVD print! This 'R' rated version would have been shorter that the original
UK versions if the UK versions hadn't been cut by the BBFC. |

It's strange when you see a film for the first time in
twenty years, you expect it to have the same impact as it did when you first
saw it as a gore-hungry teenager. And of course it can't, but it does stand
up remarkably well. |

UK Amazon Review from US Amazon: Excessive Praise Action superstar Thomas Ian Griffith takes on evil Italians and corrupt cops in this edge-of-your seat thriller. In perhaps his best role of all time, Griffith crafts a fascinating character unlike any ever seen before: a cop frustrated with his work and alienated from his wife. When Griffith uses excessive force to get a confession, a web of intrigue and sinister alliances is slowly revealed to him. Excessive Force is a 90 minute visual feast of pure adrenaline! A must-see film for any fan of good cinema. |

116:41s | No BBFC cuts to the Theatrical Version
submitted for cinema in 1990, the 1999 Warner video, and the 1999 Harbottle
& Lewis video. By the time Ferman had been replaced as director by Duval the video was passed with the following justification: The film version was originally given an 'X' certificate in 1974 and has been widely shown since then. In the 1970s, however, incidents of hysteria involving young women led to some concern that the film might cause severe emotional problems particularly among those who believed in the reality of demonic possession. It was with this concern in mind that the BBFC in the 1980s and early 1990s concluded that a video classification - even with an '18' rating (which could not entirely exclude the possibility of the work being seen by younger and susceptible viewers) - was inappropriate. It must be acknowledged, however, that there is little if any hard evidence known to the BBFC that The Exorcist has, in its video form, caused actual harm to its viewers. The video version was in fact widely available for many years before the Video Recordings Act 1984 introduced the requirement of BBFC classification. The recent re-release of the film version by Warner Brothers has, moreover, been accompanied by none of the hysteria or audience disturbance which occurred in the mid-1970s. The Exorcist has been available on video uncut for many years in other European countries, notably Germany (rated for 16 year olds) and Sweden (rated for 14 year olds) where the protection of the young is considered particularly important. The Video Recordings Act places on the BBFC a duty to have special regard (among other relevant factors) to any harm that may be caused to potential viewers or, through their behaviour, to society by the manner in which the work deals with, for example, violent or horrific behaviour or incidents or human sexual activity. The Board must consider as a potential viewer any person (including a child or young person) who is likely to view the video. The BBFC must also apply the requirements of Article 10 of the European Convention of Human Rights, now accepted as British law. Inter alia, these impose a duty to preserve freedom of expression, with the relevant restrictions being "for the prevention of disorder or crime (or) for the protection of health or morals". Alongside these, there is a duty to observe the principle of proportionality: any restriction on the basic duty of freedom of expression should have a proportional justification. The BBFC concluded that The Exorcist, while still a powerful and compelling work, no longer has the same impact as it did 25 years ago. Film technique and special effects have moved on a long way since then, and audiences - including (or especially) teenagers brought up on a range of modern multi- media output - are less likely to be affected. Correspondingly, the potential of The Exorcist to disturb a small, impressionable minority must be significantly diminished. The BBFC has also considered the likely effects of The Exorcist's current reputation. We cannot discount the possibility that, however restrictive its classification, under-age persons may seek ways to view it. On the other hand, both the name and the nature of this film are familiar to most people: its reputation should prompt many parents and guardians to be more alert to that possibility than would normally be the case. On balance, therefore, and after careful consideration, the Board has concluded that the video version of The Exorcist should be classified - but at a level which minimises the likelihood of the work being viewed by young and impressionable persons. |

'Banned' Video |
The BBFC website in Dec 98 noted the absence of video releases: The film itself still shows quite regularly in cinemas but we have not yet classified the video, nor has it ever been shown on television, including subscription television. The problem is not the frightening nature of the story but the combination of the themes with which it deals and the very powerful treatment it is given in this version. Showings of this film have resulted in severe emotional problems among a small but worrying number of adults who do believe in the reality of demonic possession and satanic practices. A video or television showing would inevitably attract many young teenagers, some of whom would be, more even than adults, susceptible to this sort of material, since they might well identify with the central character, a 12-year-old girl. Newspaper reports and letters in our files indicate the very real and serious disturbance that can result and we feel uneasy about being a party to this sort of psychological damage. It is partly because the film is so convincing and effective that it can be so disturbing for some. It is hard for those of us who do not give credence to the possibility of possession to appreciate how powerful an influence this can evidently exert on those who do. At a time when charges of satanic abuse appear fairly regularly in the press and alleged instances have been reported and when an Act was passed in Parliament, the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act (1994), which specifically requires the Board "to have special regard to any harm that may be caused to potential viewers, or, through their behaviour, to society by the manner in which the work deals with, for example, horrific incidents", there are added reasons to be cautious. Eventually, perhaps the time will come to release THE EXORCIST on video, but we are not convinced that this is that moment, particularly at a time when many parents allow their children to see videos unsupervised, according to the latest research. |

The French and Australian releases under the name of House on Straw Hill are uncut. See review from IMDb: Sleazy and Gruesome Writer Paul Martin has scored a massive hit with his first novel and has retreated to a remote cottage in the heart of the English countryside to concentrate on his follow up. He's accompanied by his new secretary, Linda, a housekeeper and occasionally his lover Suzanne. However there is something strange about Linda and soon the bodies begin to pile up. Admittedly it has a few sex/nudity scenes and a little bit of bloody violence, but there is not enough exploitative elements for my liking. Udo Kier is decent as a highly unlikeable writer and Linda Hayden is excellent as his secretary. She openly masturbates few times and has a great lesbian encounter with Fiona Richmond. The violence is quite tame except for the bathroom murder scene which is pretty nasty. The direction is lifeless, the characters are unpleasant and the film is slightly dull. Still I enjoyed it and you should too, if you like exploitation cinema. |

As far as I'm concern, this isn't even an
action movie like it's usually classified - this is definitely a thriller.
Sure there are lots of cruel scenes and bloodshed. It still isn't far as
ultra-violent critics sometimes makes it to be. Violence is just something
that gives audience the necessary shocks to built the excitement or to keep
it up. |
