uncut
uncut
15 cert 116:51s 2010 biographical drama by joann Sfar with Eric Elmosnino and Lucy Gordon. See IMDb

The Director's Cut was passed 15 uncut for:

  • UK 2011 Optimum Online
  • UK 2011 Optimum RB Blu-ray at UK Amazon
  • UK 2011 Optimum R2 DVD at UK Amazon
  • UK 2010 cinema release

From IMDb:

A new cut of the film, runs 14 minutes shorter then previous version and is Joann Sfar's preferred one. Changes include -

  • Deletion of the scene where young Serge persuades in vain for his mother to buy him a gun to play with, even attempting to bribe her by saying he'll work harder on the piano.
  • Deletion of the scene where Serge and Boris Vian walk to his apartment and the two lie in the road in an effort to stop a cab. While they wait Serge reveals he has an double that follows him around to which Vian replies his is a werewolf. However two policemen soon end the conversation short. (This proceeds Serge arriving at Boris's apartment and explains a later scene where drunken Serge lies in the road before having the police escort to his concert
  • Longer scene of the Baby Pop groupies, as Gainsbourg wakes up in bed with two naked women as his Mug joyously tosses bank statements at him revealing how rich he is from Poupe'e de cire, poupe'e de son alone!
  • The groupies and party to Qui Est In Qui Est Out is cut short, removing Serge narrating about the mouth being the primary sexual organ. His narration reveals the girls in the room he has slept with and how he was with them. It reveals Gainsbourg's occasional cruel streak.
  • After Gainsbourg recites La Marseillaise at the press conference, we then see young Serge repeating it and triumphantly rising his fist to the audience.
  • Deletion of an short exchange in the nightclub when a reveller comments to Gainsbourg about him being parodied on a French TV show. The new version removes these lines either because the show is unknown outside of France or because it doesn't tie in as being the night Gainsbourg met his wife, Bambou as that TV show wouldn't air until years later.

Summary Review: A Fitting Tribute

A martial arts movie star must fake his death to find the people who are trying to kill him.

Game of Death, a Frankenstein concoction of bits and peices of Bruce Lee's final performance in a movie originally shot in 1972-73 and a later film shot in 1978 after Lee's death is really two movies in one.

The first, a crime/revenge caper helmed by Robert Clouse is not as bad as you may have heard. The scenes are intercut badly and Lee's many doubles do look bad, but as a movie on it's own merit it isn't that bad.

Comparison of the UK Rank video and a Video-CD from Malaysia reveals that an entire 4 minute fight scene has been substituted. Late on in the film the Chinese version shows a nunchucks fight between Bruce Lee and a villain dressed all in black. In the Rank Video, this is replaced with a far less savage battle between Bruce Lee and a different guy dressed all in white with no nunchucks to be seen.

The BBFC passed the 2005 Blackhorse DVD 18 uncut titled Tenement

The uncut region 0 DVD is available at UK Amazon
The uncut region 1 DVD is available at US Amazon

Review from US Amazon: Too Violent to be Rated!

Tenement is a violent 80s action/crime thriller grindhouse flick that I fully enjoyed. Upon merely seeing the hand-drawn, sketchy cover of this flick I knew I had to check it out. The plot revolves around a group of ornery NYC tenement dwellers who must fight together to survive after a gang of thugs traps them in the building, swearing vengeance after one of the tenants called the police on them earlier in the day.

Tenement's TOO VIOLENT TO BE RATED! tagline lives up to its name as well: people are dropped off windows, electrocuted, impaled, castrated, raped with broomstick handles, sliced on the jugular, etc. It's definitely one of the most violent 70s/80s grindhouse/exploitation flicks I've seen, but it was definitely entertaining if also brutal. Recommended.

Amazon Review

If you're familiar with the works of the danish directors who've signed the DOGMA charter, GANG TAPES may please you with its improbable camera movements and its documentary style. If not, stay away from this movie.

I must admit that the scenes of violence of GANG TAPES are, in my opinion, far more impressive than those shown in the Hollywood thrillers. You never know what will happen next on the screen and you really feel in your guts the paranoia which is the life's companion of these people. And the impacts of the bullets in the body of the victims will hit you as if you were present in the hot streets of the city of the angels.

This very curious completely silent comedy includes some dramatic sequences and some fairly pornographic ones. The movie is made with titles, very much in the manner of early silent films.

Summary Review: Way Better than Expected

Caligula Reincarnated as Hitler was way better than what I expected. The young blonde star of the film is gorgeous and someone both men and women would find attractive to sleep with.

There are some five star sexual violence scenes that are unfortunately too brief. Beatings, whippings, gang raping of women prisoners, dipping naked women into vats of lime, hanging the young blonde star nude and upside down over a box of live rats! I mean, hey you "sicko" Nazi fans, is this something or what?

There are no actual hard core sex scenes, however, there are multiple simulated sex scenes that are quite hot to watch.

cut
10:48s
Video Nasty 80:56s

The video was released in 1983 by VFP with a missing 10:48s scene of an Aryan fantasy and a feast of human flesh. The video was re-released in 1984 by Video Shack.

It was added to the DPP list of banned video nasties in March 1984 and stayed listed throughout the panic and so became one of the collectable DPP39s. The Videoshack version is particularly rare.

The US release of the 2.0 Redux Version is uncut and MPAA Unrated for:

See article from en.wikipedia.org

Ghost in the Shell 2.0 is a reproduced version of its original 1995 counterpart. For the films Version 2.0 release, all the original animations were re-produced with latest digital film and animation technologies, such as 3D-CGI. The original soundtrack was also re-organized and re-recorded.

Japanese music composer Kenji Kawai, who orchestrated the score for the original 1995 production, remixed the Version 2.0 soundtrack in 6.1 Channel Surround.

To complement the new soundtrack, Japanese voice dialogue was also re-recorded, with some variation from the original script to make use of more recent colloquial phrases in modern speech. Notably, the original male voice actor for the character of the Puppet Master, Iemasa Kayumi, has been replaced by the female voice actor Yoshiko Sakakibara

Summary Review: Nicely cleaned-up

A 1995 movie based on the manga that was called by some the second coming of Akira. I can't help but agree with that.

This is one of the best animated Blu-rays out there, up there with Cars, Wall-E, and Akira.

From the BBFC 2007 Annual Report:

Ghost Rider was passed ‘12A’ on its theatrical release, after reductions were made to the sequence in which Johnny transforms into the ‘Ghost Rider’ for the first time. For the film’s DVD release the distributors reinstated the cut material, in particular shots of the skin on Johnny’s face breaking and falling away. These more detailed and gory shots added significantly to the intensity and horror of the sequence and necessitated an increase in category from 12A to 15

Review from UK Amazon: Part of the charm

It isn't John Woo, but it's still a great action thriller. Not massive on the stunts until the end and boy, it's worth waiting for. The beauty of Chow yun Fat is that he does all of his own stunts (watch out for the: doing a somersault, catching two guns in each hand, and shooting a bad guy before he hits the floor).

The acting is admittedly camp, but it's all part of the charm of Hong Kong cinema.

From an imdb review: Old ninja movies

I like old ninja movies. The fights are usually pretty well choreographed, the storylines are unbelievable and the dubbing is hilarious. While Golden Ninja Warriors has all these things there are a few points that I didn't totally enjoy.

I have a problem with this movie. It's the attitude towards women that this women has. I know that it is an early Asian movie but it made the movie unappealing. Within the first ten or fifteen minutes we get to see a girl being viciously whipped for a prolonged period of time. This is followed by the beginnings of a sexual assault.

  • Five Alex Trevelyan head butts against Bond were deleted during the antenna room cradle fight. One return headbutt by Bond was also deleted.

International Version Cuts

The rough cut was shown to the BBFC and MPAA. This resulted in a set of International version cuts that were common to the concerns of both censors. These cuts have become common to all releases of GoldenEye and look unlikely to ever be reversed. The cuts were:

Some pre-cuts have become permanent and now apply to all releases to date:

  • During the pre-credit sequence, when 006 is shot, originally one clearly saw the impact to the head, but this has now been deleted
  • The sex scene with Xenia making out with the admiral and eventually suffocating him has been much reduced.
  • Bond's rabbit punch on Xenia during a car ride was moved offscreen
  • The Severnaya hijack sequence was also cut with numerous shots removed of the workers being gunned down by Xenia.
  • Furthermore, Xenia's death was also toned down; originally her body was seen writhing against the tree for longer, before her back breaks with a crack and she slumps dead. The slump, sans sound effect, is all that remains.
  • When Trevelyan turns over after falling from the dish, the shot showing his bloodied face and a trickle of blood running oozing from his mouth was shortened.

UK Specific Cuts

In addition to the International Version cuts, additional cuts were made that were specific to the UK release

  • Towards the end of the film, as Xenia attempts to crush Bond, her headbutt to Natalya was removed when the latter tried to free Bond. In fact, the entire episode of Natalya swinging a log at Xenia, Xenia grabbing it and telling Natalya to Wait for your turn before headbutting her was removed.
  • All head butts were removed from the climatic Bond vs Trevelyan fight around the antenna room and cradle. This included attempted head butts that failed to hit their target. In addition, the contact sound effects throughout the fight were toned down.

Review from Amazon US: Low-budget 'gem'

This low-budget 'gem' from 1977 was a modest hit and pretty much made Chuck Norris a star. Norris is a former CIA commando whose dark past comes back to haunt him when the politician that set him up in a raid turned death trap needs to erase that unpleasant part of history.

This is an old school action movie, back when they bothered to have plot and mystery prior to the fist fights and car chases, and it will probably bore many expecting wall to wall kung-fu action. Nothing happens until nearly an hour into the movie, then the pay off begins.

As I said, it is a low budget movie, one with Southern California locations filling in for Vietnam as well as East Coast locations. Pretty giggle inducing. But the movie still works when watched in the context of its era (70s exploitation) and director Ted Post (Hang 'Em High, Magnum Force, Beneath the Planet of the Apes, etc.) keeps the movie professional looking, at least.

Recommended only to Norris fans on a nostalgia kick.

The extra scenes integrate perfectly into the film, and after seeing them once, you won't be able to imagine they were ever missing. Among the scenes are Angel Eyes visiting a destroyed fort; Tuco hiring bandits to help him chase Blondie; Blondie and Angel Eyes having a face-to-face when they first set out together to find the gold; and some extra conversation between Tuco and Blondie in the desert

See review from IMDb: One of the best

This film probably had the largest impact on my life. It set the tone for everything I then got interested in. American Civil War. Film Music. Clint Eastwood. Real Westerns. This is the best of the Dollars Trilogy and by far one of the best Westerns of all time. It has drama, comedy, cracking dialogue, some of the most brutal battle scenes - especially around the bridge - that I'd seen up to then, music to die for and set pieces that just ooze atmosphere and tension. I have never forgotten the end shoot-out. This was unique; 3 people?! You can't do that. But Leone did, and he did it brilliantly - all cameras and music. I have now seen this film too many times to count but I'll be back for another blast of buono, brutto, cattivo, someday.

Review from  US Amazon: Ambiguous poignancy

Filmed around 1969 in post Antonioni's (Blowup) Swinging London we have here the tale of brother and sister twins, brought to screen-life by Martin Potter and Judy Geeson along with a sterling British cast including Michael Redgrave, Freddie Jones, Mike Pratt and Peter Jeffrey providing characteristically able support.

Directed with a sense of ambiguous poignancy by Alan Gibson, who fans of 70's horror will recall from Crescendo, Dracula A.D. 1972 and The Satanic Rites Of Dracula. Goodbye Gemini is further aided by some sumptuous art-direction, imbuing the picture with a contemporary look which when viewed today does not befall other more dated looking examples of films made from this era.

I can assure 1960's/70's genre fans will find this a worthwhile time.

Review from US Amazon: Claudia Jennings Lives

If anyone out there besides me watched Thelma and Louise and wondered why they had to drive off that stupid cliff at the end, and how exactly that denoted a happy and satisfying ending, you're gonna love this movie. Funny enough, the Great Texas Dynamite Chase got it just right about 15 or so years earlier.

Yes, yes - the title is quite ridiculous, but do not (I repeat, DO NOT) let this scare you away. Women robbing banks with nothing but dynamite? Genius. It's filled with the kind of... female empowerment that was strangely only tolerated in the context of a cheapie exploitation film. It's loaded with what I've dubbed Charlie's Angels feminism -- that is to say, the women may appear to be tantalizing packages, but try to unwrap them on anything less than their terms and KA-POW! Duck and cover baby! Besides, in this day of sexual taboos, it's pleasantly refreshing to see a movie that treats sex as fun and inconsequential. (Ahhh, those were the days, eh?) Plus, it stars underrated drive-in superstar Claudia Jennings, who gives a typically fever-pitched, ballsy performance despite suffering a back injury midway through filming.

Summary Review: Pointless torture movies

An unnamed doctor has always had everything he's ever wanted, but that has only made him develop more extreme and depraved needs. He kidnaps a young couple in the prime of their life together and forces them into a game of torment that slowly extinguishes their hopes for survival.

Very tame! Yes the film has pointless torture, but it has very little nudity and any sexual humiliation is implied and is never in the view of the camera. Very hard to see why this was banned.

This movie is a prime example of pointless torture movies, While in context the aspect of torture in a horror film i.e. Saw, Hellraiser, Texas chainsaw (the original) etc... works great because it's bad people getting their come uppance or just a cautionary of the cruelty of man but this film is just a fictionalized snuff film with no story what so ever. Watching people getting brutally killed (particularly those who were just there) for the bulk of the movie then.... "the end" after some silly f/x does nothing for me except feeling a little dirty for watching this piece of trash.

rejected 74:17s

The Japanese Unrated Version was banned by the BBFC for

  • UK 2009 4Digital Media DVD

The BBFC explained their ban:

The BBFC has rejected the DVD Grotesque. This means that it cannot be legally supplied anywhere in the UK. The decision was taken by the Director, David Cooke and the Presidential Team of Sir Quentin Thomas, Alison Hastings and Gerard Lemos.

Grotesque is a feature that focuses for the majority of its running time on the sexual assault, humiliation and extreme torture of a male and female victim. The central character abducts, restrains, strips and masturbates both the man and the woman. After this he inflicts grave injuries on the restrained couple, including amputation, eye gouging, castration and evisceration. The torture becomes even more extreme, leading to the gory and violent death of both hostages. The film ends with the killer choosing his next victims.

David Cooke, Director of the BBFC said: “Unlike other recent ‘torture’ themed horror works, such as the Saw and Hostel series, Grotesque features minimal narrative or character development and presents the audience with little more than an unrelenting and escalating scenario of humiliation, brutality and sadism. The chief pleasure on offer seems to be in the spectacle of sadism (including sexual sadism) for its own sake.

“It is the Board’s carefully considered view that to issue a certificate to Grotesque, even if statutorily confined to adults, would involve risk of harm within the terms of the Video Recordings Act, would be inconsistent with the Board’s Guidelines, and would be unacceptable to the public. The BBFC has a strict policy on sexual violence. With portrayals of sexual violence which might eroticise or endorse sexual assault the Board may require cuts at any classification level.

“Rejecting a work outright is a serious matter and the Board considered whether the issue could be dealt with through cuts. However, given the unacceptable content featured throughout cutting the work is not a viable option in this case and the work is therefore refused a classification.”

Summary Review: Grotesque Goodies

An American nurse living and working in Tokyo is exposed to a mysterious supernatural curse, one that locks a person in a powerful rage before claiming their life and spreading to another victim.

I have to say I was impressed. Geller does a fine job and the foreigner abroad angle adds a new spin.

Some good cheap jump scares combine with good genuine scares and the film is packed with creepy, grotesque sights and has a nice unrelenting pace as it keeps the shocks coming thick and fast and the final 3rd really delivers the brutal and grotesque goodies...but it still managed to add character and suspense. Very good indeed overall.

Avoid the heavily cut theatrical version.

  • UK 2011 Eureka video RB Blu-ray at UK Amazon for release on 28th November 2011
  • UK 2011 Eureka video R2 DVD at UK Amazon for release on 28th November 2011

From Extended Classification Information (skipping the rather obvious explanation of why the film isn't 15 rated) from bbfc.co.uk with spoilers:

Guilty of Romance is a Japanese thriller, subtitled in English. Police detective Yoshida investigates a gruesome murder when two mutilated bodies are found in an abandoned apartment in a Tokyo red light district. Her search for the victims' identities leads her to Mitsuko, a respected female university professor who lives a dangerous secret life as a prostitute, and an apparently demure housewife, Izumi.

The film contains a number of scenes of strong sex, including a woman being surprised in a bath and masturbated under water, a couple having uninhibited sex in a toilet, a woman having sex with a man in the shower of a love hotel, and a woman having sex with a man during the shooting of a porn film. Some of the scenes feature full frontal female nudity and prolonged sexual thrusting. The film also contains some scenes of strong nudity, including a scene in which a woman is coerced into stripping as part of a porn shoot.

The film contains a complex scene of sexual violence in which a man, who has just engaged in consensual sexual activity with a woman, refuses to allow her to leave. He then restrains the woman and forces her to phone her husband to apologise for not returning home, as he continues to thrust into her. The woman is clearly distressed and the focus is on her lack of consent and the man's brutality, rather than on any erotic detail.

The film also contains a scene of erotic asphyxiation, in which a man pays a woman to choke him during sexual activity, in order to help him reach climax. However, the potentially lethal nature of the practice is clear and the practice is not glamorised or promoted. The idea of erotic asphyxiation is unlikely to be a novel one to most adults and there is no unusual instructional detail, particularly when compared to previous films such as In The Realm Of The Senses (L'empire Des Sens).

The film also features one scene in which an adult woman squats down and appears to urinate in front of two young children. However, there is no sexual element to the scene, which appears to have been carefully shot to avoid exposing the child actors to any actual urination. There is no lewdness or indecency that would raise concerns under the Protection of Children Act 1978.
