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.

• The Original Faces of Death

The 1983 International Trading video was passed a8 after 2:19s  of cuts

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.

Review from US Amazon: Quite a reputation

Faces of Death has quite a reputation, but it seems that very few people have actually seen it. Needless to say, there's no way the film will live up to its own hype. The narration is predictable, all the scenes involving human death are faked, and the final twenty minutes are basically newsreel footage, which we've all seen elsewhere. The film runs around 105 minutes, which is way too long for something of this nature. If the film was cut to 68-80 minutes, as most exploitation films are, all we would lose is some bland narration and a lot of World War 2 footage.

However, the film is now a cultural artifact and it's most definitely worth seeing, provided you're a fan of horror movies, exploitation films, or bizarre fringe relics. Even though it isn't really a strong film itself, its influence makes it worth viewing.

The only real death you see is in the beginning where we see all sorts of animals slaughtered. It's not as bad as it sounds though. The animals weren't killed for the film, but rather as part of the routine slaughtering that happens everyday. I realize that this doesn't make much difference to some people, but at least the killing was nothing out of the ordinary.

Cut when submitted in 2004 with the following BBFC statement: Cuts required to remove three sequences of real animal cruelty (rabbit being bashed against tree and continuing to struggle as its head is cut off; man biting head off chicken; and monkey with stick in mouth having tube forced down throat and liquid syringed into eyes).

The UK DVD is based on the US print which runs around 25 mins shorter than European versions and misses

• footage of German freeway accidents, the El Salvador war
• the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan
• a section contrasting religion to the Iranian revolution.

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.

• Fast & Furious 4

The BBFC cut the cinema release by 3s when submitted in 2009: Distributor chose to make one cut to sight of man having his head slammed into a wall resulting in a follow-on shot of the man's broken and bloodied nose in order to attain a 12A category. An uncut 15 was available.

Thanks to Gavin: Fast Rethink

The film appeared on the BBFC site for a week or so with a 15 rating. That entry seems to have now disappeared. Presumably the distributor decided to make a last minute change.

The BBFC explained their rating: Extended Detail

Fast & Furious is the fourth in the series of action/ car chase films. This time the lead character and his federal agent adversary team up to avenge the death of a friend by drug traffickers. The film was passed ‘12A’ for strong action violence.

The film contains several scenes of tonally and visually strong action violence, notably the throttling and then dangling of a man by his ankle from a window (from which he is dropped), the heavy slamming of a man's head against a marble wall, clear sight of a gunshot impact to shoulder and the deliberate ramming of a villain with a car so that he is crushed between two cars. Although injury detail is rather restrained, tonally the violence appears callous though it is contained within the 12A guidelines which allow for the fact that 'violence must not dwell on detail. There should be no emphasis on injuries or blood.' These tonal qualities and the degree of process to the violence place the scenes within the '12A' category.

The film contains one clear use of ‘fuck’ and other moderate language (e.g. bitch, pussy and muffled uses of strong language). The uses were in line with BBFC's '12A' Guidelines which state 'the use of strong language (eg 'fuck') must be infrequent.'

The film also contains several intense car chase sequences involving dangerous stunts (e.g. jumping from one moving vehicle to another, street racing through public roads where other traffic and people are present), plus some moderate sexualised posing by scantily-clad female extras and three women kissing passionately for a man’s pleasure as he films them.

A scene involving brief sight of a cockfight filmed outside the UK was considered not to contravene the Cinematograph Film (Animals) Act 1939, given that it did not involve the cruel infliction of pain or terror, or cruel goading to fury.

Not cut by the BBFC but the movie was cut to obtain a US PG-12 rather than an R rating from the MPAA.

From cuts details on IMDb

Not cut by the BBFC but the MPAA originally slapped the film with an "X" rating, stating that the male frontal nudity had to be cut from the boathouse sex scene. This cut, along with a few other trims to that scene, was made and the MPAA gave the film an "R" rating which was distributed worldwide

• New York 2H du matin

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

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...
4. ... as does their use in attack on a woman in the park

Review from US Amazon: Last for Jet Li

Fearless is inspired by the life of Huo Yuan Jia, real-life Chinese martial arts master. Jet Li plays this legendary figure, whose martial arts style and fearless fight helped the people in China regain their pride in the early 20th century when China was intimidated and humiliated by the growing Western and Japanese powers.

In Fearless Jet Li has shown his best performance since the days he did Once Upon A Time In China and the fight scenes (choreographed by Yuen Woo Ping) are all fantastic, sometimes visceral, and sometimes graceful, and always powerful. Good and smooth editing and gorgeous production designs also help greatly to create the background.

Yes, Fearless is a first-rate martial arts action film, but the film is more than that. The film, which was released under the title of `Spirit' in Japan, has Li's message about martial arts, which impresses without being obtrusive.

But the film is of course a Jet Li film, with the genuine actions that no one but he can do, and Li also succeeds in bringing life and dignity into the character of Huo Yuan Jia. As you know, it is said that Fearless will be the last martial arts film for Jet Li. I don't know if it is really true, but I know this is his best film in years.

See article from dvdcompare.net

Director Ronny Yu reduced the length of 'Fearless' from 143 minutes to 103 minutes to speed up the pacing of the movie. The subplot with Michelle Yeoh has been cut. In the original cut the story of Huo Yuanjia is told by Miss Yang an Olympic official. In the early part of the movie Huo Yuanjia is in exile in a Thai village and to save a boy from being punished for stealing an ox, he is forced into a match with a local boxer, played by Somluck Kamsing. Ronny Yu made the cut after audiences from an internal screening criticized the film for being too slow and the Olympic sub-story being too irrelevant to the main plot.

See review from IMDb: Eurotrash

On the surface, this looks like one of those erotic 60s art-house flicks which were imported by American entrepreneurs solely for their sex content. It even possesses the de rigueur subtext exposing the moneyed class for its decadence and its exploitation of the naive masses. However, it's all a scam -- it was intentionally made in Puerto Rico by these self-same American entrepreneurs to resemble a European flick -- and quite successfully so.

The film is well enough constructed and filmed to be watchable, with plenty of nudity, though it's overly melodramatic and dully predictable for long stretches. As well, there are a couple of psychedelic sequences for Swinging Sixties buffs. The star Angelique is quite a dish and is not averse to shedding her threads at the least provocation. At the same time, the filmmakers strive to offend conservative viewers (in true pseudo-Euro style) by including a lascivious hypocritical priest among the sordid proceedings, by using a soda bottle as an erotic device, and by being a bit unsubtle about Angelique's relationship with her housecat.

Review from UK Amazon: Pope of Trash

His films are Legendary...but out of all that I have seen this one seems to stand out the most...and is one of the most hilarious comedies that I have ever seen!

DIVINE is fantastic in every scene he's in...he will be missed.

It is occasionally vulgar but all for good measure and although gross out, it has a hard impact that makes you feel for the characters...and what characters they are, Aunt Ida is scene stealing.

It's basically a really dirty Carry On movie...only far classier...and arguably more enjoyable... It may offend some people.

A genuinely great film from the Pope of Trash John Waters who has to be one of my favourite directors due to him taking the piss out of everyday life and pushing humor beyond the boundaries.

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

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.

• Beware My Brethren

The 1981 pre-cert Derann video is the same cut version as the 1972 cinema release.

From cuts details on IMDb:

Comparison of Derann video with uncut version shown on BBC in 2001:

• The opening murder in the BBC version includes a more prolonged strangulation scene, as well as some further nudity as Kenny strips his dead victim (Janette Wild). There's also the sight of him removing a watch and necklace from the naked corpse, adding a (slightly out of place) petty criminal element to Kenny's religiously motivated crimes.
• The title scenes are slightly different, the BBC version plays the title over a still shot of the killer's boots (the rest of the credits appear the same way). The Derann version plays the title over a blue box background.
• When Kenny first plays the audio tapes back of his killings there is some cutaways to historical torture paintings. The older Derann version includes two brief shots of the same painting, the BBC version contains the same two shots but lingers on them a little longer and goes on to another shot of a second (more graphic) painting.
• The murder of the prostitute (Terry Quinlan) in toned down in the Derann version (she's beaten around the head off-screen). The BBC version however includes some nasty shots of Kenny ramming his torch into the girl's mouth. Her death from being beaten around the head is no longer shown totally off-screen in the BBC version either.
• The following scene where Quinlan's body is discovered in cement, is different in the two versions. The BBC version represents this scene with two shots of nudity (the actress obviously found it hard to hold her breath). The Derann version represents it with an odd, (still photograph?) close-up on the girl's face.
• The last difference is to the 'meat-hook scene' where one of Kenny's victims (Suzanna East) initially drowned is discovered hanging on a meat hook. Both versions play the discovery slightly different, the Derann version includes a brief shot of the girl on the meat hook as well as a second shot that zooms in on the dead girls face. The BBC version begins with an additional long shot of the dead girl, and ends on a second shot, that's actually the first shot we see of the body in the Derann version but is more drawn out. The zoom shot from the Derann version isn't included in the BBC version.

Review from US Amazon: Little Gem

I saw this in the theaters when it first came out in the 80s, not expecting much, but then - BAM! - this nasty little gem of a thriller delivers thrills in spades.

JOHN GLOVER creates one of the most chilling, yet hilarious, villains in film history - and the film's most infamous sequence - the videotape replay of Cindy's snuff-movie murder that Glover forces Scheider to watch in horror SITTING THE SAME CHAIR WHERE SHE WAS KILLED! - still never fails to disturb the viewer.

Frankenheimer directs how the best do: so seamless and subtle and unobtrusive, you never notice him tightening the screws right up until a white-knuckle climax.

C'mon, guys, get with it! Once you see 52 PICK-UP, you will never forget it.

Review from US Amazon: Weak Slasher

The Final Terror wasn't a bad movie but it was a bad slasher movie. Nary a drop of blood, ok maybe a drop or 2 but WEAK kills.

Great cast .Darrel Hannah, Rachel Ward and Joe Pantoliano were virtual unknowns at the time and lend to the credibility of the cast today.

It reminded me somewhat of the movie Southern Comfort because of the booby traps and atmosphere although Southern Comfort was highly superior.

This could have been fantastic, if there were BLOOD!

See review from IMDb: Underrated and unnoticed

This film tends to touch base on issues in several other of his films. In Vixen, the issue was marital bliss and touched on the concept of partner swapping. A similar notion is touched on in Finders Keepers in marital fidelity, and promoting the concept that no one goes unpunished.

It contains the nudity and light humor of his other flicks. It's not one of his more known films, but is worth checking out even if only once. The movie actually has a good plot to it, with senses of drama and a sense of urgency that keeps the pace going from start to finish.

Thanks to Bleach:

• At 35 mins - In marital rape scene, after man begins to instigate sex with woman, and after her whispered dialogue line Oh God...no...please, remove all sight of him ripping open her night-dress to expose her breasts and lying on top of her with her breast clearly visible. Resume on close shot of his back and arm.
   
• At 62.5 mins - In robbery scene at bar, after woman is thrown onto pool table, and after man with red kerchief round neck shouts Stop it and man with acetylene torch laughs, remove all subsequent long shot of her struggling as her clothing is pulled open to reveal her breasts and man forces himself on top of her. Resume on close shot of man with red kerchief shouting Stop it...the combination's taped under the bar...

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.

Review from UK Amazon: Don't miss this DVD

Who would have known that one of Bruce Lee's greatest cinematic achievements could sound and, especially, look as good as it does in this recent DVD edition? Considering that this movie, much in the same way as the other early martial arts pictures that Lee made for Golden Harvest, was typically shot on a relatively low budget, with poor to average film stock being used, this restored version is nothing short of miraculous. The Fortune Star print makes it look like it was shot a few months ago, as it looks as clear as it probably never was when it first came out in March of 1972.

The colour balance, the picture resolution and the correct aspect ratio are rendered so perfectly that you start noticing small details that were always missed thus far. I will give you an example: in the major fight scene where Bruce's character faces all the Japanese students in their dojo, while he's holding the famed nunchaku ready to strike his opponents yet again, there's a very tight close-up of Lee's face. Here you can clearly see the little veins in the eyes, which were fuzzy in the previous DVD edition.
This is truly a classic brought back to its full glory that had previously faded, and enhances all the great qualities it possesses, namely the fact that this turned out to be one of the most dynamic, intense and spectacular performances that Bruce Lee has forever recorded on celluloid.
Don't miss this DVD, you won't regret it!

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 villain'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 villain's throat that sends him flying backward through a nearby shoji screen. Ending the fight rather abruptly.

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. 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.

Review from US Amazon: Perverse

This is one of the most violent, perverse, and laugh-out-loud (intentionally) funny versions of the Frankenstein myth.

It's also one of my favorite movies and, as far as I'm concerned, the best film to come out of the Andy Warhol-Paul Morrisey collaborations of the 60s and 70s.

Udo Kier is astounding as the mad Baron Frankenstein, Arno Juerging is great as his idiot assistant Otto, and Monique Van Vooren holds her own as Frankenstein's wife-sister, whose insatiable sexual appetite is fed by hunky Joe Dallesandro.

This film is NOT for people who are squeamish. The sex and violence is all of such a perverse nature that it isn't the kind of thing you want to sit down and watch with grandma. It's filled with campy humor and super-gory FX (imagine it as it premiered in 3-D!).

But, in spite of the usual Warhol-crowd tomfoolery, there is a very real sense of quality to the proceedings. Gorgeously photographed, with a sumptuous score and fine period detail, this is a little too well-mounted to be written off as simply a camp comedy.

The BBFC cut 56s from the 1996 First Independent video

• Cuts to shots of the Baron smearing blood across the breasts of a female corpse
• and sexually caressing the body

There is famous scene where the Baron has an orgasmic grope amongst his creations innards and proclaims that To know life you must fuck death in the gall bladder. (or vice versa). This contributed to the wind  up of the frenzied press and the video got added to the video nasties list in March 1984. It stayed on the list throughout the panic and so became one of the collectable DPP 39s

The 1988 video was cut by the BBFC. A later UK release is reported as being longer but there is no record on the BBFC database. The cuts are said to be to the orgy scene.

X Rated scenes have been previously released but supposedly destroyed. There is also a version with 10 extra minutes of restored footage.

The BBFC cut the 2007 Asphyxiation DVD by 31s: Company chose to remove images of explicit sexual detail (in this case, of oral/genital contact during cunnilingus and vaginal penetration with penis).

Compulsory cuts were required to remove visuals and dialogue relating to potentially harmful activity, in this case the restriction of breathing during sexual play. The company chose to remove sequences portraying strong fetish and BDSM activity (in this case, the beating and reddening of buttocks).

Orinally cut by 2:48s for a PG cinema certificate. These cuts seem to have persisted into the 15 rated video version. The excised material is from a scene involving a spliff.

The scene reappeared when shown on BBC2 (Feb 2002)

Cut in 2006 with the following BBFC comment: Distributor chose to cut clear sexual detail (in this instance oral genital contact).

Cut in 2006 with the following BBFC comment: A compulsory cut was required to remove dialogue references which are likely to encourage an interest in underage sexual activity

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.

Review from US Amazon: Cheesy Classic

This is one of those cheesy classics from the 70's. I enjoyed it somewhat.

Basically to sum it up...A group of people growing dope get dusted with a chemical meant to kill their crop. They turn into flesh eating zombies and try to kill campers in the same area.

It was alright, it didn't take too long to get to the juicy parts. Although, in my opinion it is NOT worth the Amazon price of 21.00. I'd probably pick it up for 5.00 maximum.

According to the BBFC: Heavy cuts were imposed on the video Forrest Warrior, which featured boys being taught how to deliver kicks to the head.

Review from IMDb: Argento's rarest giallo

Undoubtedly Dario Argento's rarest giallo, Four Flies on Grey Velvet is none the less the weakest in his Animal Trilogy (which also includes The Bird with the Crystal Plumage and Cat O'Nine Tails), but it is still a pretty entertaining entry in the giallo genre.

Argento demonstrates some very creative camera work in this one, one of my favorite shots come from inside a guitar. Furthermore, he keeps a nice and steady pace, there is very little downtime in this one and Ennio Morricone gives a good, if not great score.

It also boasts some inventive deaths. Now, Four Flies on Grey Velvet certainly has its flaws. There is a bit too much comedy in for my tastes, which I feel distracted from the horror. Also, Morriconne's score is underutilized and there isn't enough nudity.

Overall Four Flies on Grey Velvet is good, but not great. Only Argento fans should go out of there way to find it, but I am a huge Argento fan, so it was worth it in my opinion.

The Special Edition

The BBFC cut the 1975 cinema release. These cuts followed through to the 1987 CIC video and 2009 CIC DVD

The original cinema running time is 106:19s

From the running time it seems that the UK cut was submitted for an Australian release. See article from refused-classification.com:

• 15min approx- Here Haskins has come to arrest Ron for the shooting. The two get into a very violent and bloody fight. Ron finally kills Haskins by bashing his head four times of the garage floor. The CIC VHS cuts the first two of these, and only shows the last two.
• 19min - Susan is threatened by Frank and the blond guy. The CIC VHS cuts the part where she says Ow, my breasts. The scene then continues with her slowly sliding down the wall before it cuts again. Missing here is around 25s of Frank threatening Susan by pushing the gun close to her mouth.
• 83min - In the CIC VHS Ron is shown placing his gun next to Frank's ear. It then cuts around 25sec of him shooting and of the now bloody ear as Frank is bundled into the car.
• 85min - Ron opens the hood of his car and pushes Frank under it. Missing in the CIC VHS is a shot of the spark plug being pushed into Frank's ear.
• 97min - The CIC VHS cuts the scene where Ron stabs the Mayor in the back of the hand.

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

See Dune

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

See review from IMDb: A Slasher Star is Borm

Friday the 13th must be one of the biggest mysteries in cinema. Although it's a long way from being a good movie, its success and influence is unnameable ( and even unbelievable ). Don't get me wrong...I'm not at all saying that Friday the 13th is a terrible film or not even worth a watch but - let's face it - the plot idea is pretty dumb, the acting and directing are far below average and they haven't fully used the options of setting and location they had. The make-up effects ( by the master Tom Savini himself ) are excellent, but that alone isn't really enough to create a legendary horror movie in my opinion.

I suppose the story is pretty much known by everyone know and I even think the identity of the mysterious killer of this episode isn't that much of a mystery anymore.

Without any shame, I even admit that Friday the 13th and ALL its sequels are a guilty pleasure of mine. I'll never reckon them as good - or even decent - efforts in the genre, but I'm always up for a little bit of brainless gore slashing. And that's what these series are made for...pure entertainment !! So, in a way, they succeeded after all. They never try to give a thoughtful message to the viewer or something. There are just dumb-looking teenagers being slaughtered...the more the merrier.

The film was cut by about 10s for a US R rating. This cut version was submitted for the 1980 UK cinema release and pre-VRA video. No further cuts were required by the BBFC for the 1987 video release.

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.

The cut scenes are available as RealPlayer clips at Dark Angel's Relam of Horror

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.

MPAA cut

The 2008 DVD is the same version as previous releases but it has now been downgraded to 15'

It is said that the cuts may have been lost forever. So perhaps this is the most definitive version

MPAA cut

Cut by the director to achieve a US R rating. This cut version was submitted to the BBFC for the 1981 cinema release, 1987 CIC video, 2001 Paramount DVD 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.

• Friday the 13th Part III

MPAA cut

The 2008 Blu-ray is downgraded to 15 without BBFC cuts.

The running time suggests that it is still the US R rated version.

MPAA cut

From cuts details on IMDb:

Includes extra gore to Andy, Debbie and Vera's death, as seen earlier in the year on the Sci-Fi channel.

MPAA cut

The 1987 video lost 4s as required by the BBFC

From cuts details on IMDb:

• The death scene of Andy showed his right leg and stomach being cut apart.
• Vera's death was longer, it included more blood and a shot of her reaction. It was cut because the board said that it looked too real.
• Edna's death was cut of excess blood.
• The impaling of Chili with the hot poker was cut. Originally, the impalement was shown, along with a splash of smoldering blood.
• Debbie's death originally showed blood spraying across her upper half and face.

An old VHS copy of Buechler's work print surfaced, and you get to see how much cooler this version would have been if the gore remained. The infamous sleeping bag scene goes on much longer, all the deaths have extra blood (including a killer head crush scene) and there's even a deleted coda on a boat that should have been kept in.

See article from forum.dvdtalk.com

Director John Carl Buechler said: Dialogue within scenes was cut. And certainly almost every single punch-line to every stalk and pay-off was trimmed considerably. I mean when you see the axe jump-cut into that lady's head, and when you see Jason smack that guy up the chin with the axe. I mean the shots are just noticeably missing. I mean there were some cool shots we did. But not since Tom Savini's time have people been allowed to put stuff like that on screen.

The BBFC Cut 1s when the CIC video was submitted in 1990:

• A 1s shot of a butterfly knife being twirled by gang members was cut

The version submitted was the US R Rated version which has been substantially cut to avoid an X Rating.

From cuts details on IMDb:

As described by the director on the DVD commentary, the following shots were cut or altered in order to receive an MPAA rating of "R" instead of an "X":

• Jim's death was much gorier. Originally, Jason shoves the entire spear gun through his stomach, then rips it out, causing Jim's intestines to slide out along with a large amount of blood.
• Suzy's death was disturbingly gruesome. Jason shoves the spear through her stomach and twists it non-stop. There were close-up shots of Suzy's mouth gurgling blood and blood rapidly oozing from the spear wound. J.J.'s death was an alternate shot. In the original shot, we actually see Jason smashing J.J.'s head with the guitar.
• Tamera's death in the original print was completely different. Originally, Jason repeatedly stabs her with a mirror shard in a shower while she's completely nude. Blood rapidly oozes from her stab wounds and Jason keeps stabbing non-stop. Later on, when Eva finds Tamara's corpse, the original shot was one featuring Tamera's fully nude body with dozens of shards of glass protruding from it.
• The scene where the uncredited boxer gets the hot sauna rock shoved into his chest cavity was a re-shoot. Originally, Jason jammed two darts through his eye sockets, but it was deemed too graphic, and the MPAA forced the crew to re-shoot it. Even with the re-shoot, the scene had to be trimmed. Originally, there was more blood and steam, but the MPAA found even that to be too graphic.
• The scene where the captain gets his neck sliced by Jason's bowing knife was shot five different ways. The director's desire was a shot of a huge gash wound spurting blood, but the MPAA made him choose the least gory shot, which is what appears in the final cut of the movie.
• Wayne's death originally featured him being electrocuted for a few seconds longer.
• The full version of Miles' death scene actually saw him land on the spikes, rather than just showing the aftermath as we see in the "R" rated version.
• When Jason kills the first gang banger, the uncut print featured Jason's hand and the needle going all the way through the gang banger's body.

Yes, it [Tamara's death] was trimmed. It was a little more in the Psycho tradition. There was a lot more blood, a lot of Jason's arm slicing down upon her, shards of glass. It was pretty gruesome. And that was the end of it. The scene was over the top as far as the MPAA was concerned. I went into it with more of a Hitchcockian style. And whenever any of us, do a shower scene, you gotta pay homage to Hitchcock. But this was in color with real blood running down the drain. We went further with the scene as far as intensity, but the MPAA pulled us back. In filming her death, we didn't use any prosthetics. Originally, you see his arm slashing down, blood splatters the shower wall, blood on her. It's all very Hitchcockian. It's much like the Psycho shower scene. It was pretty much the same as what was released, except there was much more of it, and there was some gore cut.

Just like in the beginning scene with Jim and Suzy. And y'know, they have sex and Jason comes in, everything was trimmed. I mean, the kid getting shot with the spear. I had a lot more coverage of that. In that Jason takes the spear gun and not only jabs the spear into him, but the entire spear gun. When Jason guts him, and pulls the gun out, his intestines were all over the gun. It was just, trimmed, trimmed, trimmed. There were a lot of frames cut out. And in the final version, it's just quick cuts. If you look at it, the scene looks like it was edited.

The other thing was when Jason finds the girl in the hatch, and he reaches in and goes to stab her. That was very abbreviated in the final version. Before, it is really hard to watch, not for the fans but for most people out there. It's kind of a torturous thing. He really tortures her. He doesn't just shove the spear in. He shoved it in, he twisted it around. There were close-ups of her face, her gurgling. Back to Jason, more twisting, close-ups of the spear twisting. It was pretty intense and the MPAA said no.

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.

• Cut to remove photographic shots of women being tortured.

A later re-release mistakenly featured the uncut version.

Cuts waived when resubmitted for Universal Pictures Director's Cut DVD in 2005

• The bloodied body of the dead mother gets a shorter screen time
   
• 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.

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.

• The scene that upset the MPAA the most—and as I describe it, it is truly disgusting—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. It’s really disturbing and it’s the longest restored piece; my guess is it’s about 30 seconds or so. I think it’s the most horrific moment in the whole movie.

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.

• When M and other's listen to the recording of Bond questioning Tania, the line Was I as exciting as all those Western girls? has 'was' changed to 'am', as it was considered less sexually suggestive
• On the train, Bond lowering the blind in his cabin and his quip of Two hours should straighten this out has been cut
• When Grant reveals the roll of film to Bond, his comment of What a performance has been removed

See review from IMDb: For bad movie fans

A pretty lame horror flick about a scientist's attempts to make people immortal. This is a bad movie, featuring several funny parts. I particularly liked the scene of two women in the hospital talking, when out of nowhere the policeman narrator's voice is dubbed over the conversation. It's just sloppily put together.

Beyond that, the only point of interest is that H. Kingsley Thurber did the music.

After watching it again. I now value Frozen Scream. Some stretches of boredom, but more amusement than I had originally thought. Don't go too far out of your way to see it, but bad movie fans should find something of interest here.

Review from US Amazon: Nastiest family squabble

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 the aid of his own gang comprised of fellow students. With the aid of eight-year-old hit men and schoolgirl strippers and assassins, it looks like Riki could have his revenge on the 10th anniversary of his brother's death.

Shock value and native Japanese weirdness aside, this is a great movie. It looks great. Whatever the content, each shot is carefully composed and the action is often so manic it can be had to keep up with.

As unemotional as the Japanese can be, "Fudoh" turns into the nastiest family squabble since "Medea". Just when you think the film can't get any weirder, it's just getting started. Murders are often accompanied by rivers of blood. The scenes in the children's assassin training camp are hysterical. I lost count on the number of decapitations.

• During a confrontation between the hero and two men with long knives
• In the scene at a garage

Thanks to Mark:

The Mei Ah DVD is in fact the uncut version as rumoured. A number of instances of strong violence - such as stabbings, bullet impacts, blood spurts - have been restored for the DVD. The sleeve claims that the film is Cat-II, but that rating applies to the censored cinema version, and not the DVD.

There was a gory scene pre-cut by the distributors who felt that director Lam had gone too far with the ketchup: it apparently showed Simon Yam sucking on an eyeball that Anthony Wong has cut out from a victim's socket! I don't believe this footage has ever been seen, so isn't really applicable when talking about an 'uncut' version. As it stands, the Mei Ah is as uncut as we're going to get.

Amazon Review

Full Contact release on DVD was long overdue, and now, in this finely presented package, it has been worth the wait. By far one of the most brutal Hong Kong Gangster movies.

Whilst the gun battles are not quite on a par with John Woo's, as they lack both the scale and the choreography, Ringo Lam ensures that he makes up for it in style. Using the bullets eye view twice in the film, Lam delivers an intensity to his film making that has little comparison elsewhere. With eye catching cinematography, an awesome soundtrack than really delivers the goods, and one of Chow Yun Fat's greatest performances, this is a truly must have film.

Special credit must go to Simon Yam who totally steals the show with his sadistic villian Judge. Not even Dennis Hopper's character in Blue Velvet can hold a candle to the sinister, homosexual psychopath that is portrayed here. Their rivalry is given an almost homoerotic overtone as Judge expresses his underlying desire for Jeff.

With superb picture quality, an unforgettable film, and a great variety of extras within a finely presented package, this DVD is true value for money.\

• The Funhouse: Carnival of Terror

Passed 15 uncut when submitted in 2007

The uncut region 1 DVD is available at US Amazon

Review from UK Amazon: Good News Bad News

The Good News: This is an effectively underrated slasher entry. One of it's most impressive feats is that it gives us a nice carnival atmosphere with some interesting sights. The setting is the best thing about this, as great pains is taken to turn the early part into setup, and this does create a great atmosphere for later on in the film. By taking a trip through the garish freak-show, which includes on exhibit a two-headed cow and a deformed, bottled fetus, the mechanized fun-house creatures, the deformed inbred monster, the creepy surreal barkers and more, the groundwork is laid for some real fun. The attention to detail he gives the carnival at the beginning is amazing, even the stuff that is going on in the background. This is obviously thrilled by the colors, textures and shadows of the carnival and capably turns the place into a menacing and alien environment. Even the carnival workers themselves are weird and seedy.

The film's main positive point, though, is the extremely great showdown at the end. There's rarely been a better one in the annals of the slasher genre, starting inside a hall of mirrors and wandering through the back-rooms, down into the bowels of carnival, finally ending up in the machinery room. It's quite impressive and really stands out in the field. The stalking inside the fun-house generates some great tension as well, including a couple crashing through doors and some real surprise pop-ups from the other carnival attractions.

The Bad News: There really isn't a whole lot wrong with this one. One of it's problems is the slow pace in the beginning. By using the opening as the setup for the walk-through of the carnival, this here takes a large amount of time to get started. There's around an hour of material before the killer is even getting started, and while it builds up atmosphere, this really could've been trimmed down a tad and replace most of the running around...

The Final Verdict: With only a few nagging problems, this really is a quite underrated slasher film with a lot to like about it. It's creepy, frightening and full of intense action, leaving it a film full of entertainment and a full recommendation for the slasher fans in the crowd.

Added to the DPP list of video nasties in September 1984 and was dropped in June 1985

Review from US Amazon: Great 'Bad' Movie

Except the 2 actors from Texas Chainsaw Massacre this movie stars people that look like your next door neighbors (from the 80's).

Some preppy-new waver-Frats are initiating all night in the worst part of town when they piss off an armored clad killer-psycho with throwing stars and claws in charge of a gang of anti-nuke-grunge-new wavers.

 I liked it a lot because once the action starts it doesn't stop also there are some decent punk rock tunes and impressive gore scenes. The bad acting, 80's attire, and goofy dialog only add to the fun.
