Jack Frost 2: Revenge of the Mutant Killer Snowman

• Jack Frost II

Summary Notes

In this sequel of the first Jack Frost movie, Sheriff Sam Tiler, his wife Anne, and Sam's two deputies (also husband and wife) decide to go on a Caribbean vacation to take their minds off the traumatic events of the previous movie in a place with absolutely no snow. Their holiday will be short-lived, however, as the thawed murderer gets inadvertantly re-frozen and brought back to life. As if that weren't bad enough, he now has the ability to remain frozen even in tropical temperatures, and he's headed south to settle some old scores.

This movie was never intended to be a horror/scary movie. The filmmakers CLEARLY meant for it to be a campy, funny film, with a lot of humorous deaths along the way. If you watch it with that in mind - NOT expecting anything truly scary - but just a disposable, kill-90-minutes-on-a-Saturday-afternoon movie.

The production values are nil, and the acting and script are unquestionably sub-par, but on that one certain level - that very specific level I mentioned previously - this movie actually has some funny scenes.

• 2003 Allumination R1 DVD via UK Amazon and at US Amazon released on 5th August 2003

pre-cut
TV Version

From IMDb . The major differences between the uncut US DVD and the UK version are:

• The deadly snowball fight is more gruesome. Tons of Blood splatters out from a man's arm onto a woman right after it's ripped off by the snowball. Also, there are shots of people getting gutted and killed by flying icicles and snow balls, with lots of blood everywhere. The VHS version cuts out before anybody is hit by the icicles or dies.
• There is nudity in the scene where the woman jumps into the pool naked.
• More gore in the scene where the three girls are killed by the beachside when Jack first comes onto the island.
• Profanity is in in this version (barely any in the VHS).
• More gore to practically every other murder in the movie. The DVD version also has a higher body count because the VHS cuts a lot of deaths out.

The BBFC commented:

Company chose to reduce two moments of violence:

• a woman being suffocated by a man and

• a man being hit over the head with a rock

 in order to achieve a 12A classification.  An uncut 15 classification was available.

BBFC Comment from BBFC Annual Report 2013 [pdf]

The 12A theatrical classification of Jack Reacher generated the most feedback in 2013, with a total of 26 complaints. Despite a number of reductions made to scenes of violence to achieve a 12A certificate, those who contacted us considered the film too violent, dark and sadistic for twelve-year-olds, and inappropriately presented the hero as a vigilante figure.

The film is occasionally gritty and realistic, but the overall tone and treatment of the violence is similar to recent 12A action films such as the Bourne series and does not exceed the Guidelines at 12A. The film is relatively restrained in showing injury or blood, with no undue focus on the suffering of the victims and the Jack Reacher character is quickly established as an 'anti-hero'.

The original ending was reworked after US test audiences preferred a more usual goodies win ending.

Jack the Giant Killer

Summary Review: Yvette Is A Dish!

OK, so this movie is a typical Roger Corman production with the usual Roger Corman production values. That makes it, of course, a really worthwhile film. Corman may have made some weirdos, but all of his movies are fun.

Tommy Lee Jones was perfectly cast in Jackson County Jail. Yvette Mimieux is as sexy as she has ever been. And, her performance is Grade A.

This movie has a large cult following for various reasons. And, even though it's not the best of it's genre, it is a film worth the price.

• 1977 cinema release

• 1989 MIA VHS

The running time is short but it looks like it has been doubly speeded up in PAL/NTSC conversions

UK: Passed AA (14) after 26s of BBFC cuts for:

• 1979 cinema release

The BBFC cuts were:

• to a scene where Joe Lewsi uses Nunchucks

The Jail of No Return

Jake's Progress: Episodes 1-6

Cut in 2006 with the following BBFC comment:

Distributor was required to remove a potentially imitable technique (a child wrapping a washing-line cord around his neck) in order to achieve a 15 certificate. The BBFC requested cuts totalling 7 seconds but the distributor chose to make further cuts to the sequence.

The BBFC explained further in their 2006 Annual Report:

Alan Bleasdale's drama featured the depiction of a young boy hanging himself on a washing line. The process of hanging was shown in some detail, including some rather novel techniques, and the boy hanged for some time before being rescued, apparently unhurt. The scene as a whole was considered potentially harmful and compulsory cuts were made to the detailed shots showing the boy wrapping the washing line around his neck.

Japón

• Japan

The BBFC cut 51s from the 2003 Artificial Eye DVD. Cuts required to two scenes involving real animal cruelty (an unsuccessful attempt to strangle a bird which then stumbles around injured on the ground; a dog being forced to 'sing along' to a song through the application of a painful stimulus).

Will they succeed in their mission?

Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday

• Friday the 13th IX

There is a cut MPAA R rated Version and an uncut Unrated Version

Summary Review : Change of Direction

The secret of Jason's evil is revealed. It is up to the last remaining descendant of the Voorhees family to stop Jason before he becomes immortal and unstoppable.

A completely different direction for the series. Jason, himself, appears for about ten or fifteen minutes throughout, leaving the remaining time to focus on the mythology that surrounds him.

While it is a refreshing change to see Friday the 13th take a different step, it all seems a bit too much like a Halloween rip off. Friday the 13th is a franchise with strict rules and while it's always a pleasure to bend rules slightly, when you break them into smithereens you are usually left with a mess. This is what Jason Goes to Hell is like.

Part 9 isn't great but if you are a fan of the genre you'll watch it anyway.

Unrated

• 2003 Pathe R2 DVD via UK Amazon

From cuts details on IMDb

• The sex scene is longer and more graphic in the Unrated Version.
• Much more gory violence in the Unrated Version; nearly all characters cough up blood as they are being killed, the shot of the tent pole being rammed through the girl, the shot of the chubby guy's hand being broken off, the shot of Robert (Jason) crushing the girl's head and blood spurting out (she then says "go to hell"), Coroner(Jason swings the scalpel more times at the girl outside the tent.
• The shot of the creature crawling up Diana's dress was also omitted from the R-rated version.
• After Jason leaves Josh's body, his jaw can be seen on the floor as it melts. This was cut for the "R" rated version. The "R" version also omits most of the heart-eating scene near the beginning.

Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part VI

• Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives

Cut for a US R rating. The same version was passed 18 and later 15 without further BBFC cuts

Summary Review:  strong visual style

Tommy goes to a graveyard to get rid of Jason's body, but he accidentally brings him back to life. Jason wants revenge! Tommy must defeat Jason once and for all!

While writer/director Tom McLoughlin's script is witty and self-deprecating in tone, and some of the jokes are pretty good, it is nonetheless more of the same. However McLoughlin does give this series entry a strong visual style - something almost all the others lack - Jason standing atop a crashed motor home being a good example. This is one well worth seeing, both for fans and non-fans alike. Recommended.

• Allen's insides were ripped out of his body by Jason. He dragged the guts and heart out; he dropped them on the ground where his heart lay steaming.
• The triple decapitation of the three paintball players. The first print showed their bodies and heads dropping to the ground.
• The two camp counsellors in the car's deaths were also trimmed: The part where the woman is speared in the water originally showed a close-up shot of blood coming to the surface of the water with the air bubbles. The man was speared, lifted into the air, and then slid down the spear, leaving his insides on it.
• Jason shoved the broken bottle into the caretaker's neck and he falls to the ground as the camera gets a close-up of the blood coming out of the bottle.
• Cort's death originally was not as quick-cut and you could actually see the knife going into his head before he falls over.
• The wall-to-wall blood cabin originally had a lot more blood and guts in it. There were shots of livers and hearts running down the walls, but it was all thought too graphic to have in the film.
• The backbreaking sheriff's scene had more to it. There were more screams, more bone crushing, and his legs began to kick.
• A scene at the very end was cut. In it, a red-haired Elias Voorhees walked to his son's grave. Knowing he wasn't in the casket, Elias gives the camera a wicked glare.
• Sissy's death was toned down. Originally, you could see her head torn off and dropped.

Jason X

Cut for an MPAA R rating. All releases are the same cut version

Summary Review: Outlandish

Jason Voorhees returns with a new look, a new machete, and his same murderous attitude as he is awakened on a spaceship in the 25th century.

Despite the massive shift in setting the films seems to have been well received by those that have enjoyed the more tongue in cheek style of the latter Friday the 13th films.

A reasonably high budget and decent characters amongst Jason's victims seem to have helped.

From IMDb. Region 1 DVD commentary notes scenes that were edited to avoid an NC-17. The scenes are:

• A less bloodier take of Dr. Wimmer's spear through stomach scene.
• A shot of an arm being lobbed off with a blood spurt
• A very small amount of frames were removed from the shot of Adrienne's head after it was shattered (the bloody stump).
• The scene where the Grunt get "screwed" was edited to remove some more footage of his body spinning down the giant screw.
• A throat being cut is missing
• A half man crawling has been cut
• Sucked Out Through Hole scene has been cut

There's no sign of the cuts being restored, so for the moment this is the best available version.

Jasper: Journey to the End of the World

The BBFC commented:

• Company was required to remove a scene of potentially dangerous imitable behaviour (in this case, a character spinning around inside a washing machine)
• In the removed scene, a bird becomes trapped inside a washing machine and a young girl and a penguin try to rescue it, but instead make the situation worse by pressing the wrong buttons, including starting the spin cycle. The bird is shown to suffer no adverse effects from its ordeal, and the little penguin tampers with electrical sockets in order to stop the washing machine, resulting in a power cut.

Je t'aime moi non plus

• I Love You, I Don't

Banned by the BBFC for its 1976 cinema release. Passed uncut for home video in 1993

Summary Review:  Twisted Love Story

The petite waitress Johnny works and lives in a truck-stop, where she's lonely and longs for love. She develops a crush on the garbage truck driver Krassky, although her sleazy boss Boris warns her that he's gay. Maybe because of her boyish looks, Krassky likes her too. Both don't notice the growing jealousy of Krassky's boyfriend Padovan - until an escalation.

I went in with high hopes and wasn't disappointed. People familiar with Gainsbourg's body of work will know to expect to unexpected, what with his love for the surreal, bizarre and perverted.

The sex scenes are genuinely uncomfortable, but the two stunningly beautiful leads are perfect for this twisted love story.

The European Space Exploration Council decide to send American astronaut Glenn Ross and British scientist John Kane via spaceship to explore the other planet. After a disastrous crash-landing Ross awakes to learn that Kane lies near death and that they apparently have returned to Earth, as evidenced by the presence of the Council director and his staff.

From promotional material from severin-films.com :

Her name was Joy Laurey , the pseudonym of the French-American supermodel whose 1981 autobiography became the most scandalous erotic memoir of the decade.

Two years later, executive producer Benjamin Simon brought Joy's saga to the screen. Succulent Canadian starlet Claudia Udy leaves nothing to the imagination as the globetrotting celebrity whose passion for men, women and strangers – in any combination – shatters every sexual taboo.

Joy has been now completely restored from a print discovered in the screening room of a Paris brothel and is presented uncut and uncensored – including the complete Secret Orgy Dungeon sequence – for the first time ever in America.

Jubilee

Cut by the BBFC for 1978 cinema release. Uncut on home video

Promotional Material

When Queen Elizabeth I asks her court alchemist to show her England in the future, she's transported 400 years to a post-apocalyptic wasteland of roving girl gangs, an all-powerful media mogul, fascistic police, scattered filth, and twisted sex. With Jubilee , legendary British filmmaker Derek Jarman channeled political dissent and artistic daring into a revolutionary blend of history and fantasy, musical and cinematic experimentation, satire and anger, fashion and philosophy. With its uninhibited punk petulance and sloganeering, Jubilee , brings together many cultural and musical icons of the time, including Jordan, Toyah Willcox, Little Nell, Wayne County, Adam Ant, and Brian Eno (with his first original film score), to create a genuinely unique, unforgettable vision. Ahead of its time and often frighteningly accurate in its predictions, it is a fascinating historical document and a gorgeous work of film art.

The UK release is also edited differently  to the French version. No contentious material effected though.

The uncut region 1 DVD is available at US Amazon

Review from US Amazon : A Keeper

An outstanding comedy, Just Visiting, brings to the screen the story of a medieval French prince who is about to marry an English princess when he is magically transferred to the future. Things get a bit more complicated when he falls in love with his soon-to-be bride's great-great-great-granddaughter...

Jean Reno, Christina Applegate, and the rest of the cast, have outdone themselves with their performances, which are exceptional to say the least! All the actors, without exceptions, give it their 100% and it really shows (the chemistry is AMAZING)! Very well written and very well presented, the movie is without a doubt guaranteed to provide more than just a few laughs.

Justice Pao, 29-32

Justin Bieber's Believe

BBFC category cuts for a PG rated cinema release

Summary Notes

A backstage and on-stage look at Justin Bieber during his rise to super stardom.

• 2014 Universal Studios RA Blu-ray/RA Blu-ray Combo at US Amazon
• 2014 Universal Studios R1 DVD at US Amazon

• 2013 cinema release

• Company chose to completely obscure two uses of strong language to achieve a PG classification. An uncut 12A was available.

The BBFC added in the 2013 Annual Report:

Some efforts had been made to obscure strong language that occurs during a scene in which Bieber is besieged by reporters and angry words are exchanged. Nonetheless, although the stronger language was already partially obscured, it was still possible to make out the nature of the language being used, both because the bleeping of the words was inadequate and because the words could still be identified by the speaker's lip movements.

The distributor chose to increase the masking of the strong language by adding additional bleeping and blurring of mouth movements, in order to secure a PG classification.
