However the cut crept back into the DVD version when it was resubmitted in 2001. This was down to an administration error. By the time the error was spotted it was too late and so the DVD will be released with an unnecessary cut.

100 Tears

Exists in an Original Version and an Extended Director's Cut. Never released in the UK.

Summary Notes

After being accused of crimes he did not commit, a lonely circus performer exacts his revenge on those who unjustly condemned him. The act sparks something inside of him which he cannot stop and now, years later, his inner-demons have truly surfaced. Part urban legend, part tabloid sensationalism... he is now an unstoppable murderous juggernaut, fueled only by hate.

This film stands out for having one of the most entertaining and brutal opening 15 minutes. It is a montage of gruesome killing and the audience gets to see every gory moment; there is no fast cutting away at the crucial moment.

The only downside to having such a cool beginning is that the film shows its hand early which means suspense goes out of the window as the viewer is desensitised from this point in. The film then has to keep feeding visual candy in the form of gore. It succeeds well; this film must have one of the highest body counts for a slasher movie

Summary Review: Mask

After being forcefully inducted as a soldier into war in 14th century Japan, his wife and mother remain living in a swamp. They eke out their living by ambushing worn-out warriors, killing them and selling their belongings to a greedy merchant. The woman comes to mistrust her daughter-in-law who has coupled up with a deserter, and begins to wear a facial mask she has taken from a slain samurai. Soon the mask will not come off again. In this disguise she is at first taken for a demon by her daughter.

The ensuing drama is a tale of their sexual tension in the high summer heat, which is exemplified by the swaying of the reeds/grass, the faster the reeds blow in the wind the higher the sexual tension.

Shindo also uses Black and White to stunning effect at a time when it was probably easier to film in colour. This is a Cinematic Masterpiece!

Only the Strong

• Street Fighters

Rated PG-13 in the US.

• The first heavily cut sequence is the battle in the chop-shop, when Mark Dacascos' hero takes on a group of thug mechanics. Not only have several body blows and weapons usage been trimmed, but an entire character - the blow-torch wielding villan - has had his minute long segment removed. The cuts are obvious and the scene looks choppy.
• The final showdown between Dacascos and the main bad guy (Paco Christian Prieto) is missing a number of martial arts moves, including repeated kicks, punches and a headbutt. This last cut is particularly obvious.

Some Sky showings were uncut.

Porn meets Pygmalion. Misty, the hooker, meets the sexologist who thinks he can transform her from the nadir of passion into someone who inspires passion. While Misty is trained for her big test, seducing a homosexual artist, the relationship between the doctor and Misty remains unsettled.

Radley Metzger has created an unbelievable amalgamation of great script, fantastic actors, and the best production value I've ever seen. Other films may have spent more on cheesy helicopter shots or period costumes, but you will never find a porn movie as good as this. The opening of Misty Beethoven holds up not only under the porn standard, but under any film standards.

The sex is not of the grind house variety that you find in most XXX films but it is highly erotic, entertaining and with Ms. Money, surprisingly romantic. This is a jewel of an erotic film.

Review from UK Amazon : Argento at his Best

One of Argento's most dizzying works but also one of his most enjoyable. This being Argento's ninth giallo, he knew all the conventions inside out, so he plays with them mercilessly, using flashbacks, jump cuts, juxtapositions in a captivating way.

The opening when the temperamental diva walks of the opera, is typical of the high style of the piece.

The ending is, admittedly, a bit of a disappointment, but it's sweetened somewhat by the sly reference to Phenomena. Brutal, beautiful and daring, this is Argento at his best.

Summary Notes

The evil crime syndicate Thanatos is bent on taking over the world, using a magnetic wave generator that will cause all metal-based machinery to grind to a halt. However, the well-known British secret agent normally assigned to such tasks isn't available, so they engage his civilian brother, Neil, to help. Neil, played by Neil Connery, is a world-class plastic surgeon, hypnotist, and lip-reader, which turn out to be precisely the skills required for thwarting Thanatos.

See review from IMDb :  Best Sex Scenes

The film's plot, script, and acting are only average, but the film is buoyed by some sizzling chemistry between Jolie and Banderas. Their sex scenes are extremely memorable, so make sure you get an un-edited version (unrated).

This is an interesting movie for a few reasons. As stated above, the sex scenes are among the best ever filmed. It is also novel to see a film about a man who is actually obsessed about his own wife. I personally could identify with Banderas in his willingness to give up everything for woman he knows he cannot trust. Heck, it happens to the best of us.

The Original Xtreme Skate:  Volume 1

Cut in 2005 with the following BBFC comments:

Compulsory cuts required to four scenes. Three scenes removed in their entirety:

1. a sequence showing the irresponsible use of fire in a manner that insufficiently stresses the dangers involved
2. a sequence showing a person incapacitated by alcohol being persuaded to perform dangerous stunts, as a result of which he is knocked unconscious
3. a real life sequence showing a security guard being seriously assaulted by a member of the public, which is repeated several times.

In addition, cuts were required to a fourth sequence showing a serious and life threatening accident, to remove repeated sight of the accident, encouraging callous attitudes to pain and injury.

From IMDB. The rough cut made by Sam Peckinpah was shown to a test audience who walked out during the sex scene between Fassett and his wife. The producer wanted Peckinpah to cut the scene out. Peckinpah refused and was fired. Peckinpah's version includes:

• Extended sex scene which is shot more wobbly to express how Fassett's breaking point for revenge had started.
• Deleted scene of Osterman and Joe talking on the phone about their deal.
• Extended scene of Virginia flirting with Dick on the phone.
• There a deleted scene of John Tanner of having an affair with his director Marcia, there wakes up to find her dead.
• The scene where Tanner and guest are arguing by the dinner table, in the theatrical cut Fassett switches on a Swiss ad, the Peckinpah's cut he has like a big image of Danforth.
• Alterative ending is juxtaposed between Tanner searching for his family and the TV studio.

The Other Side of the Underneath

The BBFC passed the 2009 BFI DVD 18 without cuts but this is a significantly shorter version than the original cinema release

In the US the film was Rated R for some sexual references. The distributors were not pleased and appealed the decision hoping for a PG-13. They won their case and the film was reclassified PG-13 for mature thematic material, sexual references and language.

The BBFC Insight (for an uncut 12A Theatrical release) reveals that the film has 4 uses of strong language, 3 more then the usual maximum limit for a US MPAA PG-13 rating. Presumably the reason for  the initial R rating.

Out for Justice

Uncut for cinema release but the BBFC cut the follow up VHS video for violence. The BBFC cuts were waived in 1990 for DVD

Summary Review: Martial arts bar room brawl

Brooklyn cop Gino Felino receives a phone call alerting him that his best friend Bobby Lupo has been shot dead in broad daylight on 18th Avenue in front of his wife Laurie Lupo and his two kids by drug kingpin Richie Madano, who has been Gino and Bobby's enemy since childhood. As Gino is hunting Madano down, Gino discovers the motive behind Bobby's murder. This is when Gino's hunt for Madano leads to the showdown of a lifetime.

With this entry Steven Seagal and director John Flynn delivered one of the most enjoyable action thrillers from the past 15 years. Out For Justice also show cases one of the best martial arts bar room brawl fight scenes ever put to film. Seagal in his day was hugely popular simply because his movies were violent and he was enjoyable to watch as he snapped arms, legs and anything else that came his way.

Steven Seagal: The Complete Cuts

R rated

• 1999 Warner R2 DVD at UK Amazon .
• 1999 Warner VHS
• 1991 cinema release

US: Uncut and MPAA R rated for:

• 2007 Warner R0 Blu-ray via UK Amazon and at US Amazon
• 2010 Warner R1 DVD at US Amazon

• 1991 Warner VHS

The BBFC cuts were:

1. The pre-credits sequence showing Gino (Seagal) beating-up the pimp is missing (9 secs) of Gino smashing the pimp's head through the side window of his car and throwing him over some trash cans.
2. The deli ambush is missing a single close-up shot of Gino pinning a thug's hand to the wall with a meat cleaver (1 sec). Resulting in the rearrangement of footage to accommodate the edit.
3. The fight in the pool hall has lost (8 secs) of Gino wrapping-up a cue-ball in his handkerchief - the BBFC clearly trying to disguise this makeshift weapon - resulting in the loss of the following dialogue: ...there's only two things stopping you - fear and common sense...and I'm gonna cut your fuckin' head off
4. The raid on Gino's home has been cut, deleting (7 secs) of Gino wrestling with an attacker and shooting him point blank in the head.
5. The final showdown in the kitchen between Gino and Richie (William Forsythe) is missing (26 secs). Gone is the sequence in which Richie attacks Gino with a knife, only to have his wrist snapped, then a rolling pin, which Gino takes away and proceeds to club him with, after putting Richie's head through a window.

An alternatively edited version has been shown on Sky and Channel 5 which included all of the above footage. However, this was done at the expense of other cuts.

Out of Control

The BBFC cut 19s when the Medusa video was submitted in 1986.

See Collection

Out of the Dark

The cinema version and the Medusa VHS both suffered the same cuts in 2008

From WorldwideDVDForums :

• This slasher, in which the victims are girls in the telephone sex business, gave the BBFC a lot of problems. Four murders were trimmed, and virtually all the dirty talk over the phone was removed. The censor even removed a five second shot showing a bondage photo next to a telephone, and 11 seconds in which the killer puts a carrot into a victim's mouth.

The Outlaw Brothers

• Zui jia zei pai dang

The video was resubmitted in 2005 with most of the cuts waived. However the animal cruelty stayed on the cuts list as outlined in the BBFC statement: Cuts required to sight of cruelty to chickens

• Various shots of Mok Siu-Chung and Frankie Chan breaking into cars were excised. Guess the BBFC didn't want potential car thieves to get any ideas.
• After the scene in the nightclub there's a scene where Mok Siu-Chung and Sharon Kwok are attacked by a gang. We lose the shots where Sharon pulls a balisong (butterfly knife) out of her bag, twirls it and uses it against the attackers.
• A close-up shot of Frankie Chan breaking into a house with a lock-picking kit was cut.
• A sequence where chickens are thrown at the baddies to disarm them was cut for animal cruelty.
