The BBFC commented:

15 violence guidelines state that Violence may be strong but should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury and this scene contains a number of scenes that fit this rubric but exceed the '12/12A guidelines which state that Moderate violence is allowed but should not dwell on detail. There should be no emphasis on injuries or blood... as scenes showing the hero delivering two realistic headbutts to his opponents, a defenceless woman being beaten with a metal chain, a prolonged scene showing a man being throttled to death, a man repeatedly beating a woman with a rock, a man killed by being run headfirst into a giant rock and lengthy close-up sight of a dead woman lying on the ground with her throat cut which did not feature in the 12A theatrical version were not permissible at 12A but were allowable at 15 as they did not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury and many of the blows were masked offscreen

A truely despicable effort from the BBFC who presume that they sit in moral judgement over us. Anal sex is not illegal nor is it illegal to have three in a bed. Why should 4 minutes of softcore sex be wrong when 3 minutes is OK?

See pictorial cuts details from movie-censorship.com:

To this day, there is no totally uncut version of the film available. The Taiwanese version mainly lacks the sex scenes themselves, while scenes displaying sexual violence were spared, which are missing in the Hong Kong version. Furthermore, the Taiwanese version contains a scene in which a disabled person is forced to rape Kit. This was removed from the HK version, together with all the references to it.  If one was to edit both versions together, the run time would be about 102:00s = 98:00s

Summary Review: Rape, murder and dismemberment

Not really a sequel of Naked Killer 1.

The only redeeming quality of this DVD is that the women n it are fabulous although we don't get to see much of them ... I mean you see more flesh on some of the late night networks ...

Thanks to Bleach on the Melon Farmers Forum:

These account for what the BBFC removed, not what was pre-cut:

  • At 7 mins - During dirty phone call received at women's party, after woman asks "Why not now, I'm hot right now?", the rapist's lines (and subtitles) expressing plans to tie woman up and rape her were removed, resuming on man saying "One day we'll do this for real, Yau Yak Nam."
  • At 15 mins - Bed scene in which rapist turns woman over and then invites second man into bed to share her was reduced, cutting away as second man touches her back and she looks round. All sight of second man entering bed and raping her whilst first man records this on video was also removed, resuming on blue sky through window.
  • At 28 mins - As ex-girlfriend makes stand against gangster and older woman says "How dare you make a scene here!", her further comment (and subtitles) "Get me a knife and I'll cut off her tits", together with man's instruction "Bring a knife" were removed, a reaction shot of woman on floor was inserted to avoid jump cut, and resuming on older woman continuing "I can't stand this stupid bitch".
  • At 38 mins -In woman's flat, sexual assault was reduced to establishment only, as follows:

(i) after victim is thrown into bath and man looks down at her, remove shot of him smiling and saying "Good idea, let's have a bath", resuming on frightened woman in bath;
(ii) then, after woman starts to lift herself out of bath, cut away to remove prolonged scene in which she struggles and protests as she is terrorised, pursued, assaulted and finally raped in kitchen, resuming on new scene on boat panning up from man's bare feet.

  • At 43 mins - After happy couple disappear under duvet, sadistic focus on raped woman's terror was reduced by removing all sight of her bound and gagged in chair, resuming on rapist raising video camera to photograph bound victim.
  • At 69 mins - Scene of rapist peeping on his female neighbour was considerably reduced by removing the following -

(i) prolonged sexy dancing, sight of woman undressing and repeated shots of man peeping through hole;
(ii) CU of woman stroking her leg up towards crotch, resuming on woman in sexy underwear dancing in hallway.

  • At 70 mins - At end of 'peeping tom' sequence, after boyfriend says "I'd wank myself to death", entire scene depicting rapist hanging upside down, masturbating and saying aloud "I will fuck you" was removed, resuming on scene in bar.
  • At 78 mins - During final, prolonged fight between woman and rapist
    dressed in clown suit, the sadistic power of the violence was reduced by removing the following -

(i) sight of woman kicked in throat and falling back onto glass coffee table, breaking it;
(ii) woman having her hair pulled viciously, then kicked between her legs from rear as she crawls away;
(iii) woman being dragged by hair up outdoor steps in rain, then splayed out and pinned down against kitchen counter;
(iv) CU of man groping woman's bare breasts as lightning flashes in background.

Review from US Amazon: A shocker in its day

In its day, The Naked Kiss was quite the shocker. It dealt with (or hinted at) such then-taboo subjects as prostitution, abortion and even pedophilia in bold ways that were foreign to American film audiences. Unfortunately, like many once-controversial movies, the handling of these topics are now so dated that, at times, they are almost laughable.

The opening sequence with Towers beating up her pimp with her shoe, and an unexpected plot twist mid-film are still quite effective, but for the most part, the obviously low budget movie is filled with staid dialogue, performances and direction.

The US release featuring the Director's cut is uncut and MPAA Unrated for:

The unrated directors cut has additional scenes as follows:

  1. Pre-credits murder scene in the diner features additional footage (Mallory smashing a guy's head on the floor; more graphic footage in the knife throwing death scene);
  2. The death of Mallory's father is slightly extended with more graphic footage;
  3. Mickey is briefly seen raping the bound hostage in the motel room;
  4. When Mickey and Mallory run out of gas in the desert they start to argue; Mallory points a gun at Mickey and forces him to remove his trousers. He's chased by a ram escaped from the herd of the indian shaman. Mickey and Mallory ask him for help and follow him home;
  5. Jack Scagnetti's murder of the prostitute is longer and more explicit.
  6. After Mickey and Mallory have killed the indian and have been bitten by the rattlesnake, we see Scagnetti dumping the body of the prostitute near a railway; the camera pulls back to reveal a nearby drive-in theater where Mickey and Mallory are watching the film and talking;
  7. The clerk at the Drug Zone pharmacy is watching a program on Mickey and Mallory on TV that features a dramatized massacre in an indian jewelry and craft store;
  8. The beating of Mickey and Mallory after he's surrendered outside the Drug Zone is longer and more violent (the scene is shot mimicking the Rodney King videotape);
  9. The scene where psychiatrist Dr. Rheingold (Steven Wright) is interviewed by Wayne Gale is longer and features additional dialogue;
  10. A new scenes features Denis Leary as a prison inmate walking up and down his cell while delivering a frenzied and funny monologue about Mickey and Mallory.
  11. The prison riot sequences are longer and include additional scenes showing a cop being shoved into a washing machine and killed, a con's head boiled in a large pot, another cop dragged on a table and shoved into an oven, a cop thrown and hanged from a balcony and cons cutting other cons' throats in the prison's barber shop.
  12. After hitting the guard (Vince Pruitt Taylor) in the face with the butt of a shotgun, Mickey convinces him to bring him to Mallory's cell by breaking his fingers;
  13. Jack Scagnetti's agony after being stabbed in the throat by Mallory is longer;
  14. The warden's (Tommy Lee Jones) death scene at the hand of the prisoners is more explicit. The prisoners are seen waving his dismembered body parts and his head on a spear;
  15. After Mallory has shot Wayne Gale's hand, there are a few frames showing the warden and the guards seen through the bleeding hole;
  16. After Mickey and Mallory have killed Wayne Gale, the movie continues with a new ending showing them riding on a van with Owen (Arliss Howard), the prisoner that helped them escape. Owen insists that Mickey and Mallory take him with them but they refuse; after Owen asks Mickey to let Mallory have sex with him, the couple decides to throw him out of the van, but he pulls a shotgun and kills Mickey. The last frame shows Owen taking aim at Mallory.

See pictorial cuts details from movie-censorship.com

The Director's cut also include the following extra scenes that were not included in the film. Oliver Stone's decision.

  • There's a lengthy courtroom sequence showing part of Mickey and Mallory's trial; the prosecutor Wanda Bisbing (Rachel Ticotin) is interviewed by Wayne Gale and then we see witness Grace Mulberry (Ashley Judd) being cross examined byMickey. The murder of Grace's brother is shown, then Mickey stabs and kills Grace with a pencil on the witness stand.
  • Wayne Gale interviews the Hun Brothers, two body builders who have had their legs sawn off by Mickey and Mallory. A flashback reveals that the brothers have been spared by Mickey and Mallory because they've been recognized as great admirers of their work;

I had an interesting report from a Melon Farmers reader:

I was fortunate to see a test screening of NBK at Universal Studios. There was a part of the motel rape scene removed from the final cut, this involved, Mickey approaching the bound & gagged hostage, he starts to dance in front of her, then taking his knife he cuts off her knickers, and then pursues to rape while her hands are still tied behind her back, (this scene continues to bombard your mind and becomes more and more unbearable to watch) and then finally he then puts his mouth against hers, and rips her tongue out while still raping her (ala Midnight Express!).

Why this was not added on to the supplementary section of the Box-Set release I don't know. I believed the scene was important in that it showed the sickness, ruthlessness and disturbing side to all serial killers and more importantly to our character 'Mickey'. Without this scene Mickey to me just did not seem disturbing enough! even with all the cuts restored. I asked John Venzon (assist. editor) why the scene was omitted, in reply he said 'it detracted your attention away from Mickey, and was deemed to excessive', fair comment!

This is a pre-cut US 'R' rated version with a few restored scenes. The BBFC reckon that the unreleased certificated video version had a few restored scenes from the cuts listed below. This was said to show a little more ruthless behaviour associated with Mickey to try and diminish the impression that he is almost the good guy in the film.

The UK 1994 cinema release was delayed until 1995 due to media reports of the film inspiring US murders. No evidence of this was unearthed by the official investigations and the cinema release was allowed to go ahead.

The video was passed 18 by the BBFC for a 1996 release but this was overtaken by events after school killings in Dunblane. Warner Brothers cancelled the release out of respect for the families of the victims of the Dunblane killings. The video/DVD had to wait until 2001 before getting released.

Irish censors at IFCO banned the film in Ireland. It was unbanned some years later.

Review from UK Amazon: Masterpiece

This is a masterpiece of a film from director Kathryn Bigelow. It has been described by Ms Bigelow as a story of two families, a daylight family and a night family; others have called it a cross between a horror film, an action film and a western. It is a recorded fact that Ms Bigelow had wanted to make a western, but because westerns weren't popular at the time, it was decided to turn it into a horror film with a basic western feel.

Caleb has been taken by Mae and her vampire family - Jesse Hooker (Lance Henriksen), Severen (Bill Paxton), Diamondback (Jeanette Goldstein) and Homer (Joshua Miller). He doesn't want to kill, but his body now needs blood to survive and we watch as Caleb's internal fight what he knows is wrong and what his needs tell him to do.

As the film builds to its climax Caleb must make the decision between his two families, between day and night.

Whether James Cameron had an influence in the casting of the main characters (he was at the time that the film was made married to Ms Bigelow).

The vampire family consists of Lance Henriksen (Aliens' android Bishop), Bill Paxton (PFC Hudson from Aliens) and Jeanette (Vasquez) Goldstein all give excellent performances, but, once again, it is Bill Paxton who delivers the most memorable performance of the entire cast.

This film is thoroughly enjoyable. One of the greatest vampire movies ever, though interestingly the term vampire is never used in the film itself.

1982 Italian horror by Lucio Fulci.
Jack Hedley, Almanta Suska and Howard Ross. See IMDb.

US: The extended version is uncut and MPAA Unrated for:

From IMDb:

Two scenes are present in this extended version that have generally been omitted for editorial reasons from previous releases. However it has been mentioned that the restored scene outside the hospital is misplaced and just ends up adding confusion

  • A brief conversation between Dr Davis and his secretary, and
  • a shot of Davis turning and watching Lt Williams driving off in his car outside the hospital.

Summary review:  Darkest and goriest

The New York Ripper was a great Italian horror film from Lucio Fulci, the film was filled with plenty of gruesome death scenes and lots of sleaze, sex and nudity in fact its probably one of the sleaziest Italian horror flicks ever seen.

When an old man finds a prostitute's severed hand under the Brooklyn Bridge the police decide to do a little investigating. It seems that the victim was heard speaking to a strange duck-voiced man. As the murders add up the police detective who's investigating the case recruits a psychology professor to help find out who this Donald Duck voiced maniac could be

This is a typical Fulci flick which means that the plot gets thinner during the course of the film and the bad acting which was adequate especially for this type of film could have been better but that's not important, if your a hardcore Fulci or exploitation fan then you'll obviously love this as the death scenes were quite brutal and very nasty.

One of Fulci's best.

  • Shameless have made great attempts to mask the cut best that they can. The still-offensive scene that the BBFC refuses to budge on, the death of the prostitute Kitty, is fairly apparent, but Shameless has done an admirable job in editing it so that it doesn't stand out too sorely from the rest of the film.

NF713

aka
  • Enemy of the State
  rejected 73:14s BDSM video by China Hamilton (Mista Solutions)

Rejected in 2009 with the BBFC justification:

NF713 takes the form of an extended sequence in which a man tortures a woman psychologically, physically and sexually. The woman is bound and restrained throughout and the man in question is in a position of absolute power and control over her. The man tortures the woman in order to make her confess her crimes against an unnamed 'State' but his ultimate aim is to break her down and make her fully compliant, eradicating her individuality and making her a mere number, 'NF713'. The man employs a variety of techniques ranging from invasive questioning about her body and her sexual life to genital torture with forceps and electricity, makeshift waterboarding, beatings and forced urination. The torture is unremitting and takes up the majority of the work's 73 minute running time. Throughout large sections the woman is naked or semi-naked and her nudity is focussed upon, particularly in the later portions of the work. The work concludes with a series of black and white stills of the woman, bound and restrained.

In the BBFC's view, the primary purpose of NF713 is to sexually arouse the viewer at the sight of a woman being sexually humiliated, tortured and abused. As such it constitutes a 'sex work', which is defined by the BBFC's Guidelines as a work whose 'primary purpose is sexual arousal or stimulation'. The focus on the woman's naked, humiliated body together with the conventional BDSM aspects of the later part of the work lend credence to the view that sexual arousal is its primary intent, as do the closing series of black and white stills which strongly resemble conventional erotic fetish photography. The BBFC operates a strict policy on sex works and does not issue classification to such works if they depict non consensual sexual activity (whether real or simulated), the infliction of pain or physical harm (whether real or simulated) or sexual threats, humiliation or abuse that do not form part of a clearly consenting role-playing game. NF713focuses exclusively on these elements of non-consensual activity, pain, humiliation and abuse and takes the form of a dramatic scenario in which the viewer is invited to believe that what is being shown is 'real'. Unlike many BDSM works it is not apparent that what is occurring is part of a consensual role play where the roles are clearly set out and, in any case, the Guidelines preclude the kind of strong abuse on offer here, even if consent is established.

Even if one were to take the view that the primary purpose of NF713 is to explore the nature of torture in dramatic form, the work would still be in clear breach of the BBFC's Guidelines and policies on sexual violence. The unbroken sequence of sexual torture and humiliation means that the work runs the risk (whether intentionally or unintentionally) of eroticising sexual violence and thereby causing harm to viewers. The work invites the audience to relish sight of – and be sexually aroused by - a restrained and helpless woman being sexually molested, humiliated and tortured. Such a complete focus on sexual violence, together with the elements of eroticism provided by the nudity and semi-nudity of the female victim, runs a real risk of eroticising sexual violence in a potentially harmful and dangerous manner.

The BBFC considered the possibility of cuts. However, given the extent of unacceptable material and the pervasive theme of sexual violence and sexual threat, cuts were not considered a viable option on this occasion.

See article from nikiflynn.com: I am Not a Number

I’ve just spent the last few days being tortured and interrogated for Control & Reform Productions. The film is called Enemy of the State [Since renamed to NF713] and it’s the dark brainchild of China Hamilton and me.

It’s somewhere between Closet Land and 1984 - but with no faking of the torture scenes. It’s set in a non-specific police state and I’ve been arrested for distributing anti-State pamphlets. As such, I no longer warrant a name; I’m simply NF-713. My soft-spoken interrogator gradually convinces me to cooperate through various kind and caring methods, as he only wants to help me. Help comes in various forms, as does corrective treatment:

Bastinado, back whipping, breast whipping, electric shocks, hydrotherapy, medical torture, brainwashing, force-feeding… Except for the use of a small whip in one scene, my bottom was actually spared. (How’s that for a first?) I was wrecked by the end of the shoot, still crying after the cameras stopped rolling.

Niki Flynn also speaks at length about the BBFC rejection notice: R is for “rejected”

The British Board of Film Censors has just examined my naked, humiliated body in exhaustive detail and declared it potentially harmful and dangerous.

While I’m not too surprised the film didn’t get an 18 certificate, I’m actually fairly disturbed by some of the alarmist language in the rejection note.

The note describes the unremitting torture inflicted throughout the film, making it sound far worse and more graphic than it actually is. Frankly, in the cut submitted to the BBFC there is very little actual abuse shown and the focus is mostly on the psychological aspects of interrogation and the resulting Stockholm Syndrome. But they felt its primary intent was to sexually arouse the viewer and as such it’s a sex work and the non-consensuality makes it unsuitable for the British public, who are apparently likely to become rapists and torturers after viewing such a dangerous film.

Nico is now out on Blu-ray in the UK and it is fully uncut. Furthermore, it is released under its original correct title of Above the Law.

Strangely, the BBFC VFC number on the disc itself refers to the last official certification of the film from 1998, which was a pre-cut submission from Warner.

The BBFC confirmed this is not a legitimate release and will be withdrawn from sale shortly. I thought fans may like to know so they can snap it up before it goes!

  2. Just after the bar fight, before Seagal kicks down the door, a shot of the young couple in bed heating drugs was removed.
  3. In the finale, when Seagal briefly fights Henry Silva, a 4 sec shot of Seagal breaking Silva's arm - with a loud crunch - has been removed, but the subsequent neck break seems intact.

The film was originally shown uncut on Sky TV but seems to have now been replaced with a censored version.

Review from US Amazon: Unmitigated winner

I loved The Night Flier. This movie has it all in spades: sleazy characters deeply developed, a massively scary vampire, and gore ramped up to insane levels. Miguel Ferrer slams it out of the park as the cynical, world-weary Richard Dees, a journalist so fed up with the nightmares of humanity that he formulates the personal philosophy Never publish what you believe, and never believe what you publish in order to keep his emotional distance.

The picture succeeds because King, and by extension the filmmakers, rework the vampire mythos in a fresh way. This story rightly equates trash media with vampirism, and you never know who the real blood feeder is in the film.

Aside from the social messages in the film, The Night Flier also boasts one of the scariest looking vampires we've ever seen in a movie. That final showdown between Dees and Renfield, when the vampire finally shows the reporter his true face, will make you shudder.

I highly recommend this movie to fans of the vampire film genre. Heck, I recommend this film to anyone who wants to watch a genuinely scary film. The Night Flier is an unmitigated winner.

US: Uncut and MPAA R Rated for:

Summary Review: Pretty Grim

A mad scientist attempts to cure his son's leukemia by doing the first ape-to-human heart transplant. He decides to put a gorilla's heart into the lad and orders his flunky to prepare the gorilla!. There is actual footage of a graphic open heart surgery inserted in the ape operation scenes. This of course causes the boy to turn into a big stinky man-ape...

The film is a very cheap Mexican 'horror' and it is pretty grim.  And really most of the film is so comic book and likeable, dammit, that you can forgive the rather shoddy idea of using said transplant footage as a main point of sale.

People say that really bad films are funny to watch because they are so bad. I have only found this to be the case with one film before now, Death Wish 3, but now Night Of The Bloody Apes has become one of my pet films. A desert island treasure.

No Cert   In 1993 there was a mysterious uncut Vipco version. It was nominally slated as pre-cut but somehow got a limited unsanctioned uncut release. It was withdrawn within days.

Thanks to Adrian: Withdrawn Within Days

I can elaborate slightly on the Vipco release. I remember a piece in the Darkside saying that if you bought the video in July (1993) it would be uncut, this was a couple of months after they reviewed the cut version, I expected it to be re-released cut but I don't think it ever was.

I spent a couple of years trying to track one down without success, I was told it was never released although I still believe it was albeit briefly. I finally picked up a review copy a couple of years later; from the outside it looks like the other Vipco releases of the time but has release details etc on the inside of the insert, and a computer printed (dot matrix) label. The film has an on-screen clock running throughout and is cut to ribbons; I think it ran a few seconds longer than the Satanica release but I couldn't vouch for this. It has an official BBFC 18 certificate despite the BBFC website not having an 18 for this film until 1999. The release details inside the sleeve list the release date as 26th July 1993 so it was withdrawn within days. This is the only copy I have ever seen on Vipco and I've never even met anyone who's seen another, I reckon the old Iver pre-cert is probably easier to find than this.

Video Nasty

79:19s It was released nearly uncut in January 1983 by Iver Film Services. By November 1983 it had been listed as a video nasty and suffered a successful prosecution. It remained on the list throughout the panic and so became one of the collectable DPP 39s.

Thanks to Chris:

This Redemption DVD is slightly longer than the nearly uncut IVER pre-cert tape as there are at least two extra bits not in the IVER (IFS) tape. These were probably not in the tape due to print damage but at least they're in the DVD. These are:-

  • 42 minutes - After the green-dress wearing female has been ravaged in the park it cuts to the professor and his assistant pulling up and taking the body of another girl out of their car. We then cut back to the green-dress woman getting up with bushes all over her and looking around. The IVER tape misses out the doctor in the car as well as the green-dressed female recovering from the ordeal - approx 1 minute.

  • 74 minutes - There is an extra brief shot in the DVD of the monster running off to the left after he takes the heroine down to the floor in the park. In this shot, you can see the studio and a ladder at the corner of the screen - approx 10 seconds.

Summary Review: Cheap

Another film that is something like an urban legend: being banned in countries like Germany or Norway and also very hard to find. The reputation of Night of the Demon is much more interesting than the movie itself!

The story is simple: a professor and some students travel to the dark forests to investigate some cruel murders which were caused by a Bigfoot-like monster that looks like Chewbacca from Star Wars. A feeble minded woman who lives in a lonely hut plays an important role in the solution of the mystery.

Well, the acting is bad, the F/X are pretty cheesy and only the many murders featured in this flick will keep you away from falling asleep! These deaths however are pretty are gory and violent, so fans of splatter movies won't be disappointed!

  • several shots of knife cuts and stabs as two knife wielding women are knocked together
  • the creature disemboweling a young man
  • shots of a young woman with a pitchfork in her back

Summary Review: Groundbreaking

As with any other horror genre, the groundbreaking zombie movie is the best. Night of the Living Dead is a cult gem that has inspired every zombie movie after it, with its low-budget look and cast of excellent, unknown actors. And, of course, the flesh-eating undead who are rising to kill the living.

Originally filmed in murky black-and-white, Romero manages to make this film feel creepy even when the zombies aren't there. Creepy, innovative and bizarre.

Review from imdb

I am a big fan of the "Blind Dead" series but when I had rented this one I was very disappointed. It did not have as much potential as the other "Blind Dead" films did.

The other films through the series were well worth watching but not this one. The over dubbing was fake and the acting was terrible. And the mentally retarded man that kept getting beat up by the villagers did nothing to save this movie nor did the fact that the villagers had to sacrifice all those women in order to please the zombies did nothing to save this film either.

Although the background chanting and effects of the soundtrack during the movie would be a good Halloween scare, I would only give this movie a 2.

Review from UK Amazon: High Body Count

Night Screams like a typical teen slasher movie in which you watch to do the body count. And the body count in this flick reaches double digits.

As if that is not enough, the film started with this ill fated couple watching a horror film in which nubile females are offed by a fencing sword. Perhaps they are going for triple digits?

Anyway, basically, David, the high school football hero who have to take medication for hyperactivity decided to invite some friends over to his parent's palatial home when they went out to dinner (and it must be a loooooong dinner). And guess what, someone started to knock off the party goers, and in true slasher fashion, everything on the list is used: axe to head, electrocution, poison gas, strangulation, plastic bag suffocation...and yes, even the reliable knife in the back. And of course, in between killings, we get to watch David's parents wine and dine and started to get suspicious when they couldn't get through to the house via telephone.

Ultimately, Night Screams is standard fare....the acting is average (okay, so it is not Shakespeare), the gore effects is okay. But it is not a scary movie, it is very predictable and you know when somebody is about to "get it". But if you are in for a film with a high body count, this one is it.

Summary Review: Decent Acting

This film borrowed heavily from Last House on the Left, but Night Train Murders is the better of the two. Good production values, excellent cinematography, an Ennio Morricone score, decent acting and a tight script.

The first third of the film introduces the main characters, most of whom seem to be prone to indulging in one perversion or another.

The "defilement" section of the film is a gripping, harrowing affair that escalates in viciousness before climaxing in a very brutal fashion.

The final act does not live up to the scenes that precede it. The director's desire to keep from glamorizing violence is probably why the ending feels somewhat restrained.

Director Clive Barker was reportedly required to cut the film down to 101 minutes from the original 126 minute cut by distributor 20th Century Fox. They felt that this cut was too long and rather too explicit for an R-rated release.

Also, Barker shot additional scenes with David Cronenberg's Decker character to flesh out his mentality. The excised footage consisted of some very graphic gore during the climax, disturbing images in the monsters' lair and quite a bit of "unnecessary" character development.

There were also some strange sexual themes between the monsters and Boone that wound up on the cutting room floor.

Review from UK Amazon: Funtime groceries in spades

Well what can we say? Undeniably trashy though this film is, it delivers the funtime groceries in spades. We have copious amounts of zombie action tarted up with wonderfully gratuitous topless shots and barking mad dialogue.

Action highlights include an attack on the TV station that results in the wholesale slaughter of a troop of appalling workout dancers (dubbed with outrageous Bronx accents) jumping about in leotards. As well as exploitative breast baring this scene has some great gory violence as our prancing fools are sliced up. An attack on a Hospital also features some riotously violent action and yet more completely unnecessary breast exposure as loads of unfortunates get sliced and diced.

The music by Stelvio Cipriani is also wonderful stuff. Filled with those familiar bass beats and electronic goodness that is uniquely Italian.

Hackmeister Umberto Lenzi moves the story and action along nicely and piles in more gore and violence in the first 20 minutes than he did for almost the entire first hour of Cannibal Ferox. He isn't going to win any awards, but he does what he needs to do efficiently enough.

Films like this exist for one reason only (well two if you count making money) and that's to entertain, and entertain is what Nightmare City certainly does. Simply and unpretentiously as only 80's Italian exploitation cinema can.

Review from Shock Horror! Gripping

It seems rather strange that the the director of the I Love Lucy TV series could ever make something on the DPP's list of banned movies, but that's exactly what happened to William Asher's 1981 feature. Despite several undoubtedly shocking scenes this seems particularly unfair, as it is actually a gripping and well made horror thriller, which was even nominated for a Saturn Award as Best Low Budget Film of the Year.

I recently watched the 2 disc box set of A Nightmare on Elm Street which they say is cut to the death of the girl Tina via a blood splash as she hits the bed. The scene plays out on R2 Turkish release. When Tina hits the bed we see the blood spurt all over her shocked boyfriend Rod. A pretty tame and lame MPAA cut by any standards to make an R and obviously it never offended Turkish censors for this new uncut DVD release! The A geyser of blood spurting up from Glen's bed is also intact in this Turkish release

  • The MPAA required some toning down of the gorier scenes. Most famously, the death of Taryn (switchblade toting punk girl). Originally Freddy injected her with heroin to the degree the top of her head blew out. The subtle tone down is kind of obvious when watching the film, as it fades to white before we're shown the results of Freddy's actions.

Summary Review: Witty Freddy

Freddy Krueger returns once again to terrorize the dreams of the remaining Dream Warriors, as well as those of a young woman who may know the way to defeat him for good.

While things may have become a little predictable by the fourth Freddy film, this episode is one of the best of the series. The film delivers some deliciously creative deaths and witty repartee a la Krueger. It bolsters and redefines the balance between what has been and what will be, keeping the series fresh while maintaining the overall continuity.

Summary Review: Great Slasher Movie

An underrated and under recognized slasher film of the early 1980s.

The plot is very interesting and is not at all a typical "slasher by numbers" flick, and is not predictable. There gore is pretty insane and gruesome, and Tom Savini was the make-up effects consultant. There is a tense, uneasy feeling throughout the film, and some very memorable scenes showing how disturbed the killer is, like the part at the peep show in NYC where he gets so aroused he has a seizure. Pretty crazy stuff.

Highly recommended!

The US R Rated Version is 3:04s shorter than the uncut version. The cuts are along the lines of the BBFC cinema cuts but less drastic. See pictorial cuts details from movie-censorship.com.

In the grand scale of things the most cut versions in descending order are:

  • UK BBFC cut cinema version
  • US R Rated version
  • UK video nasty
  • Uncut version

The fact that there are some pre-cuts made the BBFC decision a little easier to grant a certificate as this version is cut more than the banned video nasty version. It still took several viewings by the BBFC before the decision was reached.

Video Nasty 85:51s Released on video by Oppidan in May 1982.

This version is said to be more complete than the cinema release with the restoration of about 1 minute of material.

The video was banned as a video nasty in July 1983. Perhaps something to do with  promotional material such as the distribution of vomit bags and guess the weight of a human brain in a jar. The video remained on the list throughout the panic and so became one of the collectable DPP39s

One of the victims of the video nasty panic was David Hamilton-Grant, the owner of Oppidan, who was jailed under section 2 of the OPA.

Review from US Amazon: Don't

Sho Kosugi made some very entertaining Ninja movies in the 80s. This is NOT one of them. Perhaps you've seen Enter the Ninja, Revenge of the Ninja, or Ninja III: The Domination? Well, DON'T expect that level of quality from this film. The incomprehensible story is a waste of time. The sole enjoyable scene involves Sho fighting off four Kung-Fu midgets.

As for the DVD itself... Oh boy, how can I say this... It is simply the WORST looking AND sounding DVD I've ever bought. It is pan-and-scan and is frequently so DARK it is hard to tell what is going on.

Review from US Amazon: Delightfully manic

Given a boost from the delightfully manic performance of Stephen Geoffreys, 976-EVIL is a tidy little thriller served up by screenwriter Brian Helgeland and director Robert Freddy Krueger Englund.

Geoffreys plays a nerdish teenager who gets picked on all the time, a la Carrie White. He finds a vengeance via a telephone service called 976-EVIL which gives him satanic powers to wreak vengeance on those who have wronged him.

While there are some weaknesses in the plot, 976-EVIL has some chilling moments and Geoffreys is effectively cast. Sandy Dennis also makes an impression as his somewhat eccentric mama.

See review from IMDb: A bit disappointing

The newest batch of detainees arrives at a remote women's prison. The fortress-like prison is ruled with an iron hand by Thelma Diaz (Mercedes McCambridge), a woman who has no qualms against death or torture. But when a new state official takes notice of the body count coming out of the prison, Diaz must prove her ability and hide the truth. As the powers that be turn up the pressure it sets up a daring escape by several of the ladies.

"Women in prison" flicks can be a mixed bag. Many offer the usual softcore action (usually of the lesbian variety) and / or nasty torture sequences that often exploit. But 99 Women doesn't really offer too much of either. 99 is actually more artistic than most of the "W.I.P." films that I've seen and as a result it comes off as a bit bland. The photography is fine but with most of the action taking place indoors the camera-work is not flashy. The acting is pretty decent but the script is a bit "talky" in an unnecessary way.

The softcore action is not awfully titillating since many of the scenes are shot in an "artistic" fashion the X-rated version does offer some hardcore inserts but you can easily tell they were added much latter since they don't match. "99 Women" has some style but not a lot of substance. A bit disappointing.

Review from UK Amazon: Fantastic

Ninja Scroll is usually one of the first anime films people see along with Akira and Ghost in the Shell, and with good reason too as it's fantastic!

The plot is very good, it moves along at a sensible pace with a good balance between dialogue and action and unfolds cleverly, giving the viewer snippets of what's going on along the way and piecing it together thoroughly at the end.

Ninja Scroll is very Japanese, more so than a lot of other anime, and makes many cultural references throughout. This, I think, gives the story more depth and weight and makes it less fantastical (even though it's about ninjas and demons). But through this 'Japaneseness' the film fully deserves it's 18 certificate as Ninja Scroll is very violent and has many other scenes and themes of an adult nature as a warning to those who decide to watch it lightly.

An obvious film to watch it you're new to anime and thoroughly recommended to everyone, you'll love Ninja Scroll!

  • The next cut occurs during the scene where Tessai sexually assaults Kagero. He rips off her top and proceeds to lick her breasts, legs, and crotch. She then wakes up and he grabs her throat and says 'Shut up and perhaps I'll let you live just a little bit longer. Don't let it cross your mind that I wouldn't mind raping a dead girl'
  • The only other cut is made to a close up of the Poison Shiuriken as it impales Jubei.

When a deadly virus strikes London, John Custane takes his family to hoped-for safety in Scotland.

The message is ham-fisted the look is very 1970, and some odd soundtrack choices were made, but it's a bleak film about the collapse of civilization. But the story's premise is completely plausible and the violence gives depth to the plot and characters.

Jason Stillwell, a Bruce Lee fan, is beaten numerous times and trains from the ghost of Lee. Jason then must use his newly acquired skills to save Seattle from a crime syndicate.

This film marked the Western debut of future superstar Jean Claude Van Damme but he does not have such a big part as the cover suggests.

Review from imdb: Low Budget

Not of This Earth is a quickly made, low budget, R rated, sci-fi movie. It's made very much in the style of the B movies of the 50s and 60s except for the R rating. The R rating comes from several scenes of topless women and some sexual activity. The star of the film is Traci Lords in her first role in a non-porno film. It is also supposedly the last time she appears topless in any film. I'm sure this is one of the big attractions of the movie to a lot of viewers. She did surprise me though by her acting. It really wasn't bad.

It is an interesting and fun movie and has some pretty good scenes of it's own. The film has plenty of mistakes and bloopers to look for that were left in due to the low budget.

Not of This Earth is a fun movie that combines some light comedy, horror and sci-fi. The movie is not meant to be taken too seriously. It's best viewed by a non critical eye with the intent of just having a good time. This can be a really enjoyable and fun modern B movie if watched in the right frame of mind.

The film is playing uncut on Zone Horror Channel so presumably it would be uncut if resubmitted to the the BBFC today

  • The cut scene is a lengthy & bloody whipping of a naked woman

There is also an uncut XXX rated version with hardcore inserts:

Amazon review: Surreal

This is a somewhat surreal Italian exploitation movie and although it does have a plot hidden within it, the emphasis is firmly upon the entertainment provided by each scene. The exploitation theme is carried out with great enthusiasm with large amounts of nudity, lesbian themes, whipping and even a horny spider, but all somewhat harmlessly.

Visually, the movie is quite classy with good production values and this is a good quality print. This is certainly much more watchable than many other exploitation movies dragged out of the vault for release on DVD in recent times.

Overall whilst this is no masterpiece, it does combine some good moments coherently with surreal elements and it all looks pretty into the bargain. Collectors of this genre could do much worse than get hold of this, its well above average for this type of movie.

Summary Review: Sloooooow

There's not a lot of nudity here at all. Instead of erotic lesbian vampires with no clothes on; we've got a cumbersome plot about a man who wants to unlock the secret to immortality.

The usual Rollin problems...which are: The subject matter would usually lend for a visual feast. However Jean Rollin manages to be an ultimate bore when it comes down to the cinematography in this production.

The editing is sloooooow. Do we really need to see a guy walk across a field until he disappears into the horizon? In an end sequence maybe, however not in the middle of a story that already tends to induce sleep.

Review from UK Amazon: Nunsploitation

The Nun and the Devil is one of the first nunsploitation films. The story is about the battle of the nuns to become the next mother superior. The nuns will stop at nothing as becoming mother means acess to a fortune.

If you have bought this film hoping to see lots of nudity, torture etc you will be very disappointed as there is only a few topless and very brief torture scenes.
