Face/Off

DVD cover

7s 18 cert 133:07s 1997 US film by John Woo (Buena Vista Home Entertainment)

Same cuts for cinema and video versions. Slightly less cut for DVD

  • Archer (John Travolta) asks his daughter whether she has protection and demonstrates a butterfly knife by whirling it around. This demonstration does not pass the censor as the butterfly knife is on their list of no-no's. One moment the blade is fully extended, and the next it is closed seamingly with no noise or movement. Also the cut causes a rather obvious sudden jump in the music track.
  • The girl eventually gets to use the butterfly knife by stabbing Archer, but we don't get to see the knife.

Faces of Death

2:19s 18 cert 103:26s 1981 US documentary video by Conan Le Cilaire (International Trading)

One of the original video nasties that was finally passed when resubmitted in 2003

The BBFC sites records the following statement:

Compulsory cuts required to sight of fighting dogs and monkey being cruelly beaten to death.

The BBFC have also clarified exactly which part of the monkey eating scene has been cut.

The part of the scene that shows the brains being eaten (out of an obviously fake rubber head) has NOT been cut. What we HAVE cut is the material leading up to that in which a clearly real and clearly terrified monkey ("goaded to fear and fury" as the Animals Act puts it) is brought to the table in a special 'monkey eating' contraption and is then bashed on the head. It seems entirely possible that the head bashing was done with rubber hammers and the monkey came to no harm. However, the monkey was clearly - at least in the short term - restricted in a cage/head clamp and terrified and this is prohibited by law.

Faces of Death III 1:18s 18 cert 84:30 1985 US documentary video by John Alan Schwartz (International Trading)

Cut when submitted in 2004 with the following less than helpful BBFC statement: A cut was required to remove a scene of graphic sexual violence. Cuts to remove images in a video used in a court case involving a sex crime, including forcible stripping, knife threat and preparation for rape. The pseudo-documentary context was not considered a mitigating factor.

Two scenes were cut from the US release

New York 2H du Matin DVD

cut 18 cert 94:55s 1984 US film by Abel Ferrara (2 Entertain Video)

Update from Starz Forum

The US R rated version was passed uncut in in 2000 for Missing In Action and then again in 2007 for 2 Entertain Video.

The US "R" rated video from Thorn EMI/HBO has a mixture of bits and pieces both from the edited for TV UK video release and the Dutch uncut video version.

  • Most of the dialogue is unchanged but Billy Dee Williams last line in the UK version, Maybe you are, take him home,  is here, and not the one from the Dutch release, Get him out of here! As this alters the tone of the ending, maybe this was requested by the distributors. Also, the music at the end is a reprise of the song "New York Dolls" heard in the UK version, not the instrumental heard over the Dutch version.

There was also an uncut  French DVD that featured the TV version padding as an extra

cut 18 cert 91:28s

EMI acquired a TV version of this video in 1986 so it is outrageously butchered. This version has been reissued by Warner Brothers and then Lumiere in 1994.

Cut by approximately 7 minutes (but padded out by an extra 6 minutes of TV version material). The same version was passed for cinema.

  1. All strip club scenes have been shortened
  2. All murders reduced especially that of Rae Dawn Chong.
  3. The killer practising his nunchucks in his own room rather predictably gets the chop...

The BBFC cut the DVD version of 2002 with the following comment: Cut required to remove sight of non-consenting woman being stripped and forced to engage in sex with two other women

6:12s 18 cert 91:53s The Redemption Films version  was cut in 1994

Hardcore scenes have been well hacked by the BBFC but the film is notable because they missed a bit. One of the sex scenes retains about 1s of unsnipped fellatio.

The film La Comtesse aux Seins Nus exists in at least three distinctly different versions: Erotikill, Erotikiller, Female Vampire, and La Comtesse Noir [The Dark Countess] are the R-rated versions which retain the violence, but excludes the hardcore footage.

Les Avaleuses [The Swallowers] and The Loves of Irina are sex versions editions with most of the violence excluded.

Jaccula and La Comtesse aux Seins Nus are supposedly completely uncut, with all scenes of sex and violence intact.

First Kid uncut PG Cert 96:43s 1996 US film by David M Evans (Buena Vista)

All cuts waived when resubmitted in 2002

1:31s PG Cert 95:07s  

Spoiled US President's son slips away to a shopping mall to meet a mentally disturbed villain with a gun. The BBFC found this confrontation too violent for the target audience and extensively re-edited the scene with the following justification: First Kid had to be cut to reduce the sense of threat as the hero was subjected to a psychotic gun attack in a shopping mall. The terrorisation of a child character in a conventially safe environment was felt to be a violation of trust, as was the unexpected onset of violence so close to the end of the film.

  1. The lengthy nunchaku segment of Bruce Lee's first raid on the Japanese dojo has been cut out completely. The missing footage shows Lee twirling the nunchakus around his head and body, and fending off numerous attackers with blows to the head and legs.
  2. The film's second Nunchaku scene has also been cut. We no longer see Lee defending himself from the Japanese villan's sword, before disarming him and throwing his own weapon to the ground.
  3. A second cut to the above scene removes the bit where Lee leaps through the air delivering a kick to the villan's throat that sends him flying backward through a nearby shoji screen. Ending the fight rather abruptly.

Flavia the Heretic DVD

uncut 18 certificate 96:02s 1974 Italian film by Gianfranco Mingozzi (Shameless)

It has been reported that the 2008 release on the Shameless label will be uncut

The uncut region 2 DVD is available at UK Amazon for a release 28th Jan 2008

Review from Amazon US

Flavia the Heretic is different from other exploitation films. Instead of being gore and sex hidden under a thin shroud of message, Flavia the Heretic has a legitimate message (absurd as it might be at times), but gets grouped in with the sex and gore movies that the Italians are so famous for.

After sharing a brief smile with a Muslim soldier before he gets decollated, Flavia is sent to a convent by her uncaring father, where she is haunted by apparitions of angels and unexplained torture of fellow nuns.

Flavia manages to seduce the leader of the Muslim invaders after he defeats a group of Christian infidels, including one who Flavia has a certain grudge against. Flavia then frees the nuns and tries to imagine a utopian feminist society, exemplified in a very well directed surreal dream sequence.

But things fall through for our heroine...

The movie is more than nunsploitation. None of the scenes are all that violent. Movies like Behind Convent Walls were certainly more sexually graphic and dwelt much longer on the sex scenes in attempt to make the erotic. No such attempts were made in this movie.

1:24s 18 certificate 95:45s Redemption's video release was cut in 1994:
  1. Horse castration: a shot of the horses testicles is cut followed by details of the procedure.
  2. Swineherd's daughter's rape: a glimpse of the girls breasts is deleted along with the mounting by the male and some struggling by the girl.
  3. Nun being tortured: cuts to views of the nun's breast being burnt and a close up of a nipple being cut off
  4. Rape victim's revenge: The above rapist himself gets raped but shots of breasts and the girl gasping have been deleted.
  5. Skinning alive: Flavia is skinned alive but we do not get to see fingers digging into an ankle wound nor skin being pulled from her leg.

  • The BBFC took offence to a scene in an alley where a youth was showing off with his nunucku to Chuck Norris...silly boy...silly BBFC

The uncut region 1 DVD is available at US Amazon

Review from Amazon US

Forced Vengeance is about much raw strength and nice evil characters. Real characters, not the usual martial arts actors of the nineties. It's great.

So, the fights here are not dozens of minutes but a few hard hits. And to see, how these hits work, give it a brutal flavor. The colors in the movie are sometimes neon lights, sometimes a very hard contrast to blood

Forced Vengeance is about 60% dialogue and 40% fights / violence. I would say it is pretty good. Plus Joy is a cutie. Plus it has good music. Plus the letter characters for the cast are really stylish (note that in the making of a film even the fonts have to be chosen).

Chuck Norris is not there to make a good movie actor but to hit damn hard, and he does.

The UK video and laserdisc are uncut and contain the footage cut from the US version. The UK DVD is the cut version.

  • When 'Frank' is caned by Charles who believes she is male, sight of cane in front of her bare buttocks was removed. Most of the blows were also removed so idea is established only enough for him to realise she is a woman. No welts may be featured on Frank's buttocks.
  • Dialogue "Weren't you angry when I beat you?", "No,somehow after it I loved you more - it was terrible but very exciting..."was removed.
  • In scene in which Madam beats blonde with slipper, close up of bare buttocks before beating begins was removed, cutting away after skirt is
    lifted.
  • In brothel entertainment, entire enactment of sequence: "Punishment of a Nihilist in a Russian prison" was removed. (the longest censor cut)
  • When Charles meets the Count on stairs, dialogue line: ...including a little more punishment was removed.
  • Flagellation scene after 'Frank' asks Charles to punish her with cane was reduced to absolute minimum, resuming as he asks her for forgiveness.

The version playing on the UK satellite channel Movies 4 Men as Lady Libertine is also uncut. So maybe would no longer be cut if the full version were to be submitted, or maybe not

Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell 4s 15 cert 90:13s 1974 UK horror film by Terence Fisher (Warner Home Video)

Cut for cinema release in 1972. Presumably Warners couldn't be bothered to track down the uncut original when submitting the video pre-cut in 1996:

  • A deleted  close-up of the bloodied throat of the murdered asylum director (John Stratton)
  • Cuts to some of the footage of the asylum maniac ripping up the monster and eating parts of him.
  • Missing shot of severed hands in coffin
  • Missing shot of monster’s eye being put in socket

The most complete version is the German DVD which only suffers the cut close up to bloodied throat

Distributor chose to cut sight of unsimulated sexual activity - oral-genital contact during cunnilingus - when man's mouth is clamped over woman's pubes and his tongue also flickers in and out of her genitalia - to gain an '18'. An 'R18' uncut was available to the distributor. 'R18' material can only be sold in licensed sex shops.

uncut 18 certificate 91:18s 1980 US film by Sean S Cunningham (Warner Home Video)

The full uncut version was submitted for an uncut video certificate in 2003

The uncut region 2 DVD is available at UK Amazon

  18 certificate 90:44s Previously released in a pre-cut format

The film was cut by about 10s for a US R rating. This cut version was submitted for the UK cinema release and pre-VRA video. No further cuts were required by the BBFC for the video release. The cut scenes are available as RealPlayer clips at Dark Angel's Relam of Horror

  1. Annie has her throat cut. The 18 cert, version adds the white out before we get a good glimpse at the Tom Savini created FX.
  2. Kevin Bacon's girlfriend gets an axe in the skull: Once again this cuts away to an early, imposed, whiteout. There is about a second more of gory detail. (see below)
  3. A birds eye view of Kevin Bacon with a spear exiting out of his throat has been censored (this is approx. 4 seconds long). The current version shows us a side view of his death then jumps before we get the other angle.
  4. The decapitation of Mrs. Voorhees has been cut of one sequence involving her headless torso. The cut is quite obtrusive and the sequence has been slightly re edited so that we cut back to Alice sooner than we should. The sound jumps too, so it's not hard to notice this cut.

In Tom Dewe Matthew's Censored book, and elsewhere, a still of the first female victim (in the prologue) with a machete through her throat is printed. In the film we do not see her murder, the screen instead giving way to the title. This scene was, presumably, filmed but whether it was cut for a USA cinema rating seems confusing.

It has been reported to me that the second cut in the list is restored on the 1995 release of the video from Warner Home Video (Terrorvision) Catalog No SO11172.

Friday the 13th: Part 2   18 certificate 83:02s 1981 US film by Steve Miner

Cut by the director to achieve a US R rating. This cut version was submitted to the BBFC and no further cuts were required.

MPAA cuts from ATTIC Censorship:

  • The decapitation from part 1 shown as a flashback has the decapitation once again trimmed for the blood-gushing from the cut throat.
  • Blood was cut from the death of Alice.
  • Crazy Ralph's death was briefly reduced from the wire-cut.
  • The scene where Jason hits a cop in the head with a hammer was cut to non-bloody.
  • Scott's throats-lit was toned down from the bloodflow.
  • Graphic close-up on Mark's machete-hit face is cut out.
  • The scene where Jason impales the love-making couple with a spear was originally longer; it showed the spear actually being stabbed in the boy's back, while the girl screamed.

The US producers themselves implemented two minor trims:

  • There is a missing shot of a body cut in half above a hammock

Also one shot, Vera's eye side angle, was forced out by the MPAA for a US R rating.

I don't know if the R rated version was submitted to the BBFC bit it is a pretty sure bet

The DVD was passed uncut in 2008. This is an extended version with additional footage.

The uncut region 2 DVD is available at UK Amazon

Review from IMDb: Eurocult

The Frightened Woman is a curious piece of Eurocult, much along the same lines as the films that Jess Franco was churning out around the same time. The film very much captures the feel of late sixties to early seventies European cinema and the atmosphere is definitely the film's best asset. It's lucky that the film will to appeal to fans of this sort of film too, as the idea behind the central plot line is pretty damn ridiculous!

Naturally, the entire film is really rather pointless; and while The Frightened Woman isn't exactly a thrill ride, there's still some interest. The acting is typically trashy, although the leads; Philippe Leroy and Dagmar Lassander give decent leading performances considering the type of film. Overall, I wouldn't recommend anyone going out of their way to find this film; but if you're a fan of trashy Jess Franco stuff, you might just like this too.

Frighteners uncut 15 cert 117:31s 1996 New Zealand/US film by Peter Jackson (Universal Pictures)

Cuts waived when resubmitted in 2005

2s 15 cert 105:11s The cinema version and early video versions suffered the same cuts.

Cuts to Jeffery Coombs' head explosion:

In the chapter, "Dammers loses his head", when Dammers (Jeffrey Combs) is shot his head explodes leaving his ghostly face in the middle with a confused expression,and separate gory parts of his head hanging around him. On the NTSC disc this is complete and is then followed by Michael J. Fox falling backwards through the floorboards.

In the UK  version, as Dammers head starts to explode the picture cuts to Fox beginning to fall backwards. Then it cuts back to Dammers looking confused with the parts of his head hanging around him, before going back to Fox, so you lose the force of the explosion.

No record of any cuts to any video or DVD release

The uncut region 2 DVD is available at UK Amazon

Review from IMDb: Impressive

This is an impressive downbeat British horror from the Pete Walker / David McGillivray partnership which, despite its gory reputation, works on more of a psychological level.

From the grainy black & white prologue, with a pre-Fawlty Towers Andrew Sachs visiting a deserted fairground, to the terrifying climax in a farm attic, 'Frightmare' holds itself together incredibly well.

The bulk of the narrative revolves around twenty-something Jackie and her wild-child teenage sister Debbie. Jackie frequently goes to visit her parents in an isolated farmhouse, both of whom have recently been released from a mental institution. The atmosphere of unease built up in these family scenes is almost suffocating, with Sheila Keith putting in a virtuoso performance as Dorothy, the mother.

The film has been termed as Britain's answer to 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' and make no mistake, 'Frightmare' is every bit as impressive as its more famous American counterpart. There are also a few nods to Hitchcock's 'Psycho' and once again any comparisons are favourable.

'Frightmare' really delivers the goods though and should be in everyone's list of Top Cult Horror Films.

1:10s+ 18 certificate 81:02s 1986 US horror film by Stuart Gordon (Video Collection International)

The 1987 and 1991 video release were cut by the BBFC

  • The BBFC were upset by a head being pulled off
  • and the molesting of Katherine's breast

In addition the MPAA cut over a minute to achieve an R rating.

The scene that upset the MPAA is when Jeffrey Combs’ character’s pineal gland has gone out of control and he’s hungry for brains. He attacks a psychiatrist, played by my wife [Carolyn Purdy-Gordon], and he plants his mouth onto her eye socket and starts sucking. And the material that was cut out was when he actually sucks her eyeball out, spits it onto the floor and the eyeball lands looking back up at him and he continues to suck her brains through the eye socket and the camera pushes in.

The film was censored in the US to achieve an R rating. And it was this R rated print that was submitted to the BBFC. The BBFC did not make any further cuts.

The cuts were to some of the gorier scenes. The US 'Directors Edition' laserdisc (Dimension Home Video) contains a supplement of the deleted scenes and reveals the following:

  • 6s :A vampire slicing a customer's throat in the bar
  • 15s: Tom Savini having his arm bitten by a vampire, the flesh being torn away from his arm. Savini then stakes the vampire in the chest, rips the stake from the chest and repeatedly bashes the vampire about the head.

Review from US Amazon

A Takashi Miike is always worth looking out for, and this one was highly anticipated. It's one of his earlier Yakuza movies, but still very Miike in approach.

Riki (Shosuke Tanihara) is the smartest, best-looking kid in his high school. He also runs the place with
