BBFC Cuts S: St-Sz

St. Trinian's: The Legend Of Fritton's Gold

• St Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold
• St Trinian's II

The BBFC suggested cuts for PG for the 2009 cinema release and 2010 EIV DVD/Blu-ray

This film was originally shown to the BBFC in an unfinished version. The BBFC advised the company that the film was likely to receive a 12A classification but that the requested PG certificate could be achieved by making changes to four scenes, including dialogue. In particular the BBFC suggested that the company remove a phallically placed dart on a newspaper picture; reduce the enthusiasm with which an electric chair and death is presented; remove any imitable detail of household products being mixed to create a weapon; and remove an aggressive use of bitch. When the finished version of the film was submitted these changes had been made and the film was classified PG.

18:31s unofficial pre-cuts and a further 1:06s cut by the BBFC

The BBFC cut the 2007 Darker Enterprises DVD by 3:27s. Distributor chose to remove sight of unsimulated cunnilingus and penetration, and liquid resembling semen on a woman's face. R18 uncut was available.

Summary Review: Well worth a look

Firstly, this film is bloody but not all that gory, it's certainly not as over the top as some of the slasher movies out at around the same time, instead this movie tries to offer an intense and suspensful atmosphere delivered with plenty of style.

If your big into Italian giallos (or crime thrillers some of which ended up inspiring the slasher movie) then this is well worth a look.

From version details on IMDb. Additional scenes in the Director's Cut:

• An additional scene added straight in at the beginning immediately after the opening titles (originally it faded to the dig at giza) shows the entirety of the scene where Ra takes over the body of the caveboy showing the cavemen running from the light in the sky and showing him walking towards it. From this point it fades to the original opening scene at the Giza dig.
• Moments after the stargate has been hoisted up by the workmen at the Giza dig, people notice that there is something underneath it: a group of the Hora guards encased in the stone. The director's commentary on the DVD states that these are other guards that have come through the gate after it was sealed and were re-integrated straight into the stone.
• In the scene after the stargate has been opened for the first time and the military are checking the pictures of the marking of the gate on the other gate, after James Spader says he is 'positive' he can decipher the symbols, Kurt Russel's character turns and says "it's your call" in the theatrical version. In the special edition the line has been re-dubbed by him saying instead now "he's full of shit" - presumably this was done for rating purposes of the theatrical release.
• An additional scene before Kurt Russell is gearing up with the group about to go through the stargate, shows him going to a secured area to look at the stone/fossil Hora's.
• When the army group are setting up the camp in the desert there is a longer scene where the group discuss more about how the stargate works and how they are going to get back to Earth. The scene during the sandstorm inside the pyramid is also extended with more footage of them talking about the sandstorm and how they are going to get back to earth.
• When the sandstorm initially hits at the nagada village and Kurt Russell, James Spader and the others are locked inside the city, they decide that they do not want to stay and decide to leave; when the natives try to stop them Kurt Russell shoots at the ground to frightem them off. The boy (whom he later befriends) takes him up above to see the sandstorm approach. After this, a native that they were holding at gunpoint is released and Jackson comments "Sandstorm, that would have been a brilliant reason to shoot everyone".
• The scene when James Spader awakes in the sarcophagus after being killed is extended, showing him walking towards Ra's chamber, seeing a cat sitting on Ra's throne.
• When James Spader turns and shoots at Ra instead of his comrades so that they can flee, there are several extended cuts put in. Originally they were just ushered away by the natives, in the special edition they ride away on one of the Mastadges. Kurt Russell and James Spader are then seen lost in a sandstorm and found by the boys, and taken to the caves (which is in the theatrical edition); an additional scene after this sees the boys feeding the Mastadges outside the caves.

Review from US Amazon: Killer Video Game

I seem to be in the minority, but I thought this movie was awesome. Maybe it's because I play a lot of computer games and I thought the premise of a killer video game was really clever (maybe not unique, but well done.)

The plot revolves around a mysterious video game being tested by a couple of game testers. No one seems to know its origin, but it soon becomes apparent that when you play the game and your character dies, you soon meet the same fate in real life.

The game is based on the real-life serial killer Elizabeth Bathory, a 16th century Hungarian countess who killed and tortured hundreds of girls. The movie takes some liberty with the facts, such as having The Countess, as she's called, move to America, where she finds the requisite spooky old manor to inhabit.

I found the blending of game and reality very well-done and intriguing. I won't spoil the ending, but the heroes eventually find the body of the actual Countess, and guess what- she's not dead! (surprise) There is a pretty cool final scene where they battle this vicious vixen, who I thought was one of the coolest movie monsters I've seen in a while.

Summary review: Rewarding film experience

This movie is definitely one of Argento's best. As usual the movie features Argento's masterful camerawork and artistic set design.

The movie also features enough scares to satisfy any horror fan. Where this movie truly shines, however, is in it's psychological aspects. It is unbearable at times to watch the tortures which Argento puts his daughter Asia through.

If not for a few cheesy cgi effects this would be a perfect movie.

The English Language Version was passed 18 uncut for:

• UK 2004 Arrow R2 DVD

The uncut English Version marketed outside of Italy but is missing 2 minutes of uncontentious scenes present in the Italian version.

From version details on IMDb:

• Missing scene where Anna calls the husband of one of Alfredo's victims
• Missing scene where Anna meets Marie's mother (Veronica Lazar).

pre-cut
2:47s

• UK 1999 Marquee DVD
• UK 1996 Guild VHS

The Marquee DVD released in May 1999 contains all the material which had been pre-cut from the UK video version. Since the uncut version wasn't submitted to the BBFC, this version was withdrawn and re-released in a cut form. The new cut release has a colour graphic on the disc itself, whereas the uncut version had a black and white label.

There were 11 pre-cuts totalling 2m:47s:

1. In the rape of Anna (Asia Argento) by Alfredo (Thomas Kretschmann) 12s are removed that show Alfredo rolling a razor blade around in his mouth and then removing it. A couple of response shots from Anna are also effected.
2. 14s have been removed from the subsequent rape of another woman whilst Anna is still watching. A shot of Alfredo holding a gun next to the victims face. The infamous slow motion close up of a bullet being fired through the victims mouth and face has been removed along with the view though the newly made hole. This cut is rather ineptly done as Anna screams and then gets covered in blood without any obvious reason.
3. An entire scene lasting 100s has been eliminated showing Anna returning home to a rather cold and unfriendly reception from her family. Scene setting only.
4. Alfredo moves on to another rape of a woman in a dress shop.10s of Alfredo hitting the woman in the face have been cut along with another 6s of a slow motion bullet going off by the woman's head. The bullet reflects an image of Alfredo as it passes him by.
5. Anna gets raped again in Alfredo's hideout but we miss 11s of the action, Some screaming by Anna, s hot of Alfredo from Anna's point of view and Anna being hit in the face.
6. In this version, Anna suffers 10s less of a razor blade being drawn down her cheek and she loses a view of Alfredo.
7. Eventually Anna gets the upper hand and she gets to give Alfredo a beating with her gun. She hits him 6 times in the original but only 4 times in this version.

R Rated

The Stepfather

The 2010 DVD claims to be the Extreme Director's Cut and was passed 15 without BBFC cuts without noting whether the pre-cuts still apply.

The 2009 cinema release was passed 15 with the comment: During post-production, the distributor sought and was given advice on how to secure the desired classification. Following this advice, certain changes were made prior to submission.

The BBFC explained the 15 rating further:

The Stepfather is a psychological horror/thriller about a serial killer who finds his victims by marrying young divorced or widowed women with children. It has been passed 15 for strong psychological threat and menace and violence.

The main protagonist in the film commits a number of murders in order to protect his anonymity and, while these murders do not contain strong detail, they are all strong in terms of the brutal and callous nature of the killings. There is also an unrelenting sense of threat and menace as the killer's new family start to suspect him and, consequently, place themselves in danger. The Guidelines at 12A only allow for moderate physical and psychological threat and these scenes are stronger and more disturbing and, consequently, most appropriately placed at 15. Stronger and bloodier violence occurs at the film's climax and contain some focus upon injuries and blood which also secure the 15 classification.

Steve O: The Early Years

Cut when submitted in 2004 with the following BBFC statement: In addition to obviously dangerous activities, the video work contained stunts which were potentially fatal, but which were presented as fun, easily copied and without any apparent harmful consequences. Most notably Steve-O was choked in a headlock until he lost consciousness. The Board took the view that the potential for imitation with possibly fatal consequences was too great and cuts were required.

Steve O: Out on Bail

• Steve O: Vol 3: Out on Bail

Cut when submitted in 2003 with the following BBFC statement: Cuts to choking, for public indecency, drug preparation and use were required from the original submission. On receipt of the cuts list, the distributor chose to withdraw that submission from the classification process. This version was then submitted as a new work. It lacks the scenes which would have been cut from the original submission but includes some new material and other minor changes. It was passed without cuts.

In particular the BBFC cut a scene where Steve-O was choked in a headlock until he lost consciousness.

The distributor appealed an initial 12A decision. The reconsideration team, which included both the Director and Head of Policy, determined that the work could be awarded the PG category if a partially obscured use of strong language was removed from the lyrics of a rap song.

• The cuts for violence, presumably made to secure a PG-13 rating, render much of the film incomprehensible.

A big red block was used to obscure 2 shots of Vi and the professor talking dirty whilst making out against the wall in a darkened room. This was cut to avoid the NC-17 rating initially awarded.

See article from en.wikipedia.org:

Initially the red box was to have had the word Censored on it, but the MPAA also deemed this unacceptable because they do not consider themselves censors.

Solondz described the addition of the box as a political statement: I was prepared to make that political statement. This is something I've always been prepared to do, as long as the audience is aware of what it's not allowed to see. That's how I feel politically about that.

Thanks to Daniel:

The complete suicide scene can be found on YouTube. It's much more shocking than I remember and does kind of blunt the scene, mainly because you have no idea who she is or why she's doing it. Rewatching the movie with this knowledge reveals just what a cruel scene it is. Still, It's kind of a brilliant film.

Strange Days

The BBFC cut 13s beyond the 1s already cut for the 1996-97 CIC videos

The BBFC provided the following justification for their cuts: The already reduced rape-murder scene in Strange Days was also found unacceptable on video, where the murder was further reduced to remove sexualised images of forcible breast exposure in a medium which could permit the repeated viewing of such scenes out of context. The scene was designed to convey the dangerous pleasures purveyed by 'snuff movies', but it seemed to the Board to have come perilously close to providing those same pleasures itself. (What a load of bollocks! its my favourite film of the year!)

All cuts apply to the rape and murder of Iris in the hotel room.

• 3 seconds of the stun-gun being applied to Iris's crotch (totally cut, we jump immediately from Nero sitting in the car to a shot of Mace looking in the rear-view mirror)
• 5 seconds of the 'forcible breast exposing' have been cut
• 2 seconds of the killer cutting open Iris's trousers are gone (just before he opens his trousers)
• The rape itself loses 2 seconds in one of the short sequences (we miss at least 1 thrust)
• A shot of 1 second showing Iris's breasts while being suffocated is missing
• At the end, another breast shot of 2 seconds has been replaced with Nero's face in the car Well, that's it, 15 seconds

Review from US Amazon: Flawed and Classic

Obviously, this is a movie people either love or hate. Put me in the "love" category. I'm no James Cameron fan so I was shocked to find how much I loved "Strange Days." This is a gutsy film that takes a lot of chances in terms of plot, performance and presentation -- American critics claim that's what they want in American movies and, yet, when such a film comes around, they berate it for such.

At its most basic level, "Strange Days" is a thriller -- futuristic film noir, with all of the traditional characters. But don't let the title or the plot summaries fool you -- this is a film that is less about new technology, science fiction and the future, and much more about the volatility of race and police relations in the USA, laced with strong themes of unrequited love, trust, and the darker side of massive urban cities in the USA -- all presented in a frighteningly authentic manner. This is a character-driven movie, not an effects-driven one.

This is also an ensemble piece, where even characters with just a few lines are essential to the mood and presentation, as well as giving the main actors juicy moments to play off of. Director Kathryn Bigelow maintains a frantic, claustrophobic pace in this film, never going for the obvious -- every scene has a point, big or small, which you know in the moment or that you will learn about later. The soundtrack enhances the visuals in a way rarely experienced in a modern film.

If nothing else, you will love Angela Bassett. She's amazing not for the kung fu moves -- her character is the voice of reason, and her performance is stunningly genuine (and heart-breaking at times).

This movie is as flawed, and as classic, as Bladerunner. Time will tell if it gets as much respect.

Summary Review: Well-Crafted

A solid, well-crafted giallo that delivers the goods without achieving classic status.

The characters are interesting without being in any way sympathetic. The men are manipulative predators and the women play dangerous games. In the last act, the sado-masochistic undercurrents make way for a series of plot twists. While these are not too predictable, the final solution is unremarkable.

Sergio Martino stages some impressive set-piece.

The BBFC issued the following statement:

When Straw Dogs was previously considered by the BBFC for video release in 1999, it was refused a classification certificate. This was because its distributor at the time declined to make the cuts requested by the Board to the film's rape scene. The version on which the Board then based its judgement was a pre-cut American print of the film.

In the central scene, Amy, played by Susan George, is raped by her former boyfriend and then by another man. The pre-cut American version deleted most of the second rape in which Amy is clearly demonstrated not to enjoy the act of violation. The cuts made for American distribution, which were made to reduce the duration of the sequence, therefore tended paradoxically to compound the difficulty with the first rape, leaving the audience with the impression that Amy enjoyed the experience. The Board took the view in 1999 that the pre-cut version eroticised the rape and therefore conflicted with the concerns expressed in the Video Recordings Act about promoting harmful activity.

The version considered in 2002 is substantially the original uncut version of the film, restoring much of the unambiguously unpleasant second rape. The ambiguity of the first rape is given context by the second rape, which now makes it quite clear that sexual assault is not something that Amy ultimately welcomes.

For the current submission, the Board showed the video to leading clinical psychologists specialising in work with sex offenders and to a panel of members of the public. The response of the clinical psychologists was that the present version of Straw Dogs was not harmful and was not likely to encourage an interest in rape or abusive behaviour towards women. The psychologists agreed that the ambiguous first rape was in fact a fairly realistic depiction of a quite complex situation. They also agreed that, by the end of the second rape, any general messages reinforcing 'rape myths' were undermined by the lack of ambivalence shown in Amy's reaction to the second attack. It was also noted that Amy's flashbacks later in the film further undermined any impression that she might welcome rape or that it has no serious effect on its victims. The psychologists commented that the scene was filmed in a relatively discreet manner, with limited potential today for titillation.

The issue of context was also important to the members of the public to whom the video was shown as part of a research exercise into the acceptability of images of sexual violence. A focus group of 26 people viewed Straw Dogs, with 20 people accepting '18' uncut as the most appropriate category, 5 suggesting only minor cuts, and only one favouring rejection. No respondent asked for major cuts of the kind required by the Board in 1999.

Significantly, respondents saw the manner in which Amy copes with her experience as essentially positive and concluded that the present version of the scene - as well as the flashbacks shown afterwards - reinforced the idea that rape is not to be taken lightly because of the serious effect it can have on individuals. No concerns about possible harmful effects were identified.

The Board recognises that the rape scene in Straw Dogs has lost only part of its power over the years, despite the age of the film. Nonetheless, in this restored version, and in the light of the evidence of expert opinion, our own conclusion now is that the film has no significant potential to cause harm to viewers or, through their actions, to society as a whole. We have also taken account of the evidence of the public acceptability of the work.

The Board maintains a strict position on depictions of sexual violence that endorse or eroticise harmful behaviour, and will continue to do so. The Board does not believe that the present version of Straw Dogs is in breach of that policy.

The film had previously been passed 'X' uncut for cinema release in 1971 and '18' in the pre-cut version for cinema reissue in 1995.

Summary Review: Tension and conflict

Essentially, what we have is a movie that uproots some of the values, morality and themes governing the mythic cinematic western and transplants them into an English backwater community. The locals are restless, being envious of and despising the American strangers (Dustin Hoffman and wife Susan George) who intrude on their redneck world. The fact that Hoffman's wife used to be one of their own serves to make matters worse, increasing both tension and conflict.

Hoffman wants to avoid trouble and remain peaceable, but ultimately is pushed too far when his cat is killed, wife is raped and his homestead is laid siege to by his tormentors. He stubbornly offers shelter to Niles, the village idiot, who has just inadvertently killed a young girl. His refusal to surrender the man to the (lynch) mob initiates the violent finale. The stage is set for a man doing what a man's gotta do, and this translates as holding the fort whilst killing and maiming as many of the attacking natives as possible.

After an inordinate delay for procrastination, the BBFC commented:

The BBFC offered a list of cuts to the video's distributor but because their period of rights had elapsed, they were unable to consider making the requested cuts.

After the politically correct empowerment of the BBFC on the back of the Video Recordings Act, the video version became verbatim. The grass roots examiners of the BBFC continually recommended a relaxation of the ban yet the politicians of the Board  could never confirm their views.

The cause of the problems for the BBFC is that the first rape scene has Susan George's character initially being forcibly assaulted but then she seemingly starts to enjoy it.

The cut US R-rated version was further cut by the BBFC for:

• UK 1995 cinema release

The R rated version and this UK 18 cinema version are missing footage from the second rape scene as follows:

1. A very short shot (less than a second) of Susan George being taken from behind
2. A longer shot (shoulders upwards) of her lying face down. This is intercut with Dustin Hoffman outside.

There is also an unconfirmed report that a shot from the scene where Peter Vaughan blows his own foot off may also have been cut

This R rated cut has become notorious as it ended up making the first 'rape' scene look worse than it originally did. The uncut version makes it as clear as you can get without going hardcore that rear entry vaginal sex is involved, while the R rated version looks more like enforced sodomy!

Review from US Amazon: Lots of Fun

The ultra-low-budget exploitation flick Street Trash certainly lives up to its name in more ways than one. Not only is it rather trashy when it comes to generally poor or histrionic acting, bawdy humor, gore, and several lingering flashes of T&A, but it is also one of the few films set in New York City's skid row that was actually filmed almost entirely in authentic skid-row venues.

The centerpiece of the paper-thin plot is a case of decades-old hooch called Tenafly Viper, discovered in the miasmic basement of a skid-row liquor store by the store's proprietor. The unscrupulous vendor decides to exploit his seemingly serendipitous find and pad his pocket by selling the stuff to local winos for a buck per bottle. But unbeknownst to him and his unwary customers, the stuff has gone sour and has transmuted into a volatile toxin that literally melts those who consume it into a pile of day-glo goo.

Though Street Trash is blatantly and disgustingly lowbrow, it is nonetheless wildly entertaining and, from a technical standpoint, very well made. The make-up FX are skillfully and artistically executed, and never have latex appliances looked so simultaneously gross and hilarious. The action does lag in a few spots, but most of the time there is a constant flow of either gore, skin, or bawdy gags. Also, in contrast to many near-zero-budget exploitation films, the cinematography is fabulous, director Jim Muro shot the entire film using a rented steadicam, and he was so skilled at it that he went on to become one of Hollywood's greatest steadicam operators. The editing is near perfect, making Street Trash look like a more mainstream, bigger-budget film.

Sick? Yes. Foul? For sure. Gross? Often. But its also a lot of fun. Street Trash is definitely not for everybody, but for those who enjoy exploitation horror flicks from the 1970s and 1980s, Street Trash is definitely one of the best.

The Street Fighter's Last Revenge has only been available in America in a cut R-rated version. Cuts include a fight scene in which Terry rips out an opponent's heart using his bare hands.

However, an uncut version was finally released on Region 2 DVD in England in January of 2005, featuring all of the violence cut from all non-Japanese prints of the film. Prior to this release, the only video version containing this cut was a first-release VHS in Japan. Despite this being the "X rated" cut in America, this version of the film was only given a "15" certificate in England.

The uncut region 2 DVD is available at UK Amazon

Review from US Amazon

The third instalment in the Street Fighter trilogy has the best plot yet. A gang of mobsters wants a formula for synthetic heroin. The gang double crosses Terry (big mistake), murders his girlfriend (bigger mistake) and fails to kill him (biggest mistake). So as expected Terry goes after them and gets his revenge. The gang realizes too late it is bad for one's health to ... off Terry Tsurugi. I liked the action even though I had a pretty good idea what was going to happen after they killed his girlfriend. The action was cool and brutal. I recommend this as well as the first two, Street Fighter and Return of the Street Fighter, whether you are a fan of Bruce Lee or Sonny Chiba.

I couldn't believe it when I saw it, an Australian martial arts movie. Another gem of a film which I came across staying up yet another night.

Jason Blade is back in Perth, Australia, to form a crime task force to assist in the capture of the lethal Jim Baxter, a criminal martial arts master. Baxter has just made a daring escape from jail to renew his vendetta against Blade. When Baxter kidnaps Blade's girlfriend Gemma, a martial arts confrontation ensures from which there can emerge only one victor, Blade.

The final sequence in an abandoned electricity plant is thrilling, with great fight sequences. Along with an old woman psychiatrist, who thinks she's a commando, and a veteran martial arts instructor, Strike of the Panther is great. I just never thought I would see an Australian martial Arts film, because they just didn't exist.

See review from IMDb: Underrated gem

This very interesting but sadly underrated gem directed by Sean S. Cunningham (Friday the 13th) offers an original variation of both the revenge thriller and vigilante action movie, since it has ordinary common high school teenagers in the lead roles. Basically this means the film begins with harsh but fairly harmless bullying but yet ends with extreme violence and relentless murder.

The transition obviously isn't very plausible, as mean bully kids don't just turn into mad dog killers overnight, but The New Kids is nonetheless a competently made and occasionally very suspenseful thriller with tons of action, likable performances and an irresistibly charming 80's atmosphere.

Cunningham professionally builds up a tense and ominous atmosphere towards a highly explosive and grisly climax with some ultra-brutal killing sequences and engrossing make-up effects.

The extreme violence will undoubtedly appeal to fans of 80's slashers as well as cheap and sleazy exploitation flicks of the 70's. The film benefices from an exceptionally great cast, with veteran B-movie stars as well as upcoming talents. Particularly James Spader is excellent and genuinely uncanny as the sleazy leader of the pack. Highly recommended to all type of cult movie fanatics.

Strip Nude for Your Killer is a sleazy and violent Italian giallo that will surely please fans of Italian cinema.

There is lots of nudity provided by Edwige Fenech, Femi Benussi and Erna Schurer. The jazz score by Berto Pisano is pretty good and the plot is actually very gripping. The killings are quite gory and sadistic and the cinematography by Franco Delli Colli is excellent.

• UK 2011 Warner (Extended + Theatrical Cut) R0 Blu-ray at UK Amazon

The US release is uncut and MPAA R Rated for:

• UK 2011 Warner RA Blu-ray at US Amazon

The extended version restores the cuts for PG-13 and also restores a background setting sequence. From and interview with Deb Snyder from blogs.indiewire.com:

[Now] in the credit sequence we have the [musical montage] of [Roxy Music's] Love Is The Drug and that was actually conceived as a glimpse of what life was like in the every day brothel world and the shows they put on. It was actually at the beginning of the movie in its entirety, but we took it out because when we put it in the film it just looked like the place was too much fun and there wasn't enough jeopardy.

The film was substantially edited to tone down the R Rated material to PG-13. The Theatrical Version is toned down in both battlefield violence and for sexual threat. The Extended Cut is the better version.

Suffer Little Children

Unknown and indistinguished video notable mostly for being seized by the police hell bent on the perversion of justice. The police raided the distributors on the day after the video had been submitted to the BBFC. The BBFC had requested about 2m of cuts but somehow the police seemed to think that the uncut version was illegal and would not give the distributors the oppurtunity to implement the cuts that would make it legal. Then the DPP chipped in to the injustice by delaying the return of the film for 3 months, even though they later had to admit that there was no hint of child sex or extreme violence. Of course during this delay the distributors were almost driven to the point of bankruptcy.

Sukiyaki Western Django

The BBFC passed the 2008 Contender DVD 15 without cuts.

The International Version was submitted which is significantly shorter than the Japanese Version. The edits are for timing rather than censorship reasons.

The consensus is that the faster paced shorter version is better.

See review from IMDb: Ultimate Russ Meyer flick

While this isn't my personal favorite from the legendary Russ Meyer's output, its possibly the most defining film Meyer ever made. All his regular trademarks that have endured him to trash fanatics everywhere are on full display here. His editing style is rapid, with few shots lasting more than several seconds. There's a style of insanity which makes one wonder how sincere Meyer actually is - whether he has something up his sleeve or is legitimately demented. The film's sense of absurdity bordering on surrealism illustrates this. Also, the film's light hearted tone is interrupted by shocking moments of violence which, while over-the-top in nature, are still potent. Most of all, this film features six buxom females, the most defining trait of a Meyer film.

This is Meyer's show all around, meaning outside of the voluptuous females, the actors don't really matter too much. Still, the cast does a good job with the kitschy material. Charles Pitts is likable in the lead role, despite not being as outrageous as the material called for. Even better are Shari Eubank (in two roles, as the ultimate evil female and a nice girl perfect for Pitts) and Charles Napier (as the degenerate and vicious lawman villain). Is it misogynistic? Perhaps a little bit, but this is the kind of crazy trash that one really shouldn't take too seriously. Another entertaining winner from Meyer.

Summary Review: Outrageously Bad

I think it's safe to say you will either love this film or hate it.  It's one of those movies that's so completely without any redeeming value that it actually ends up being enjoyable. If I had to describe it, I'd call it a cross between Repo Man and Plan 9 From Outer Space... with nazis and surfing thrown in for good measure.

If you can enjoy something lewd, crude, bizarre, and outrageously bad, you'll probably laugh yourself silly and enjoy this movie.

Summary Review: Dreamlike

A newcomer to a fancy ballet academy gradually comes to realize that the staff of the school are actually a coven of witches bent on chaos and destruction.

The plot follows Suzy Bannion (Jessica Harper), an American ballet student, travelling to Germany to study at an exclusive dance academy in the Black Forest. After one of the students and her friend are hideously murdered in the first of Argento's breathtaking set-piece killings, Suzy discovers that the academy has a bizarre history and, as the body count rises, she gets involved in a hideous labyrinth of murder, black magic and madness.

With a distinctive dreamlike look courtesy of Luciano Tovoli's cinematography that emphasises primary colours, and a unique score by Italian progressive rock band Goblin.

• UK 1998 Warner VHS

From IMDb:

• More of the 3 way courtship between DeHavilland, Johnson & MacMurray
• A hilarious scene in which the military inspect the attacked picnic site and Michael Caine comments on the bees' biting abilities
• Several additional scenes of Caine and Katharine Ross driving back and forth between the military bunker and the town and chatting about developments as they do
• The death scene of the little boy whose parents were killed and who subsequently firebombed the swarm - in the short version he is in hospital and you assume he's survived although he's not seen again. he has a relapse and dies in the long version.
• Various extra footage of Caine and Ross going to the HQ in Houston
• When Henry Fonda is killed there is an additional shot of a huge superimposed bee which he sees at the moment of death
• An additional subplot near the end of the film in which Ross has a relapse and nearly dies from her earlier bee sting. This is why she's lying in a bed when Caine rescues her from the burning building. This sub-plot has several short scenes including one when Bradford Dillman and Richard Widmark see Caine praying by her bed - once he sees that Caine believes in God Widmark knows he's a good chap and instructs Dillman to "Close that dossier" (the dossier has been constantly referred to by Widmark but was left as an unresolved plot hole in the theatrical cut).

Summary Review: Dark recesses

There are some films that are designed to shock, some designed to titillate, some that delight in disgusting the view. For Makavejev, shock, disgust and titillation are never the purpose, but a means to a form of psycho-liberation. Makavejev in Sweet Movie hurtles us head first into the confronting theses of Post-Freudian Wilhelm Reich. We are forced to confront our relationship to our primal beings. He literally smears our consciousness with faeces, vomit and carnality.

We cannot watch orgiastic scenes of regressive acts, a sensual striptease played out inches from the faces of young boys, Carol Laure masturbating in a pool of molten chocolate without a visceral reaction. We are forced to confront our own repressed desires and shine a light in the dark recesses of our own psyche.

• UK 1980 cinema release

See article from sbbfc.co.uk:

In 1978, Connoisseur Films approached the BBFC, having being offered the rights to the film. They enquired about whether there was any prospect of the film being classified. There is no record in the Board's files of what James Ferman told the company, although there is a note that he spoke to them about it on 10 January 1978. Given that the film was never formally submitted, we can only assume that he discouraged the company.

The film was formally submitted by a new distributor, Lazer Films, in 1980. Examiners suggested that cuts should be made to remove any potentially indecent images from the Anna Planeta scene (which had not been an issue in 1975), to remove the whole sequence in which three men crap in competition and then show it to crowd, and to remove some of the more extreme open-leg shots towards the end of the film, in which Carol Laure wallows in liquid chocolate. [Laure herself had earlier fought a legal battle to have these shots suppressed]. It was conceded by examiners that certain other scenes, most notably the scene in which Miss Canada's husband urinates directly onto her, were very strong. However, it was felt that these scenes could not be cut without ruining the meaning of the film. However, in spite of negotiations between the BBFC and the distributor, the film was simply withdrawn from the classification process, possibly because of the difficulty of making cuts, in particular to the Anna Planeta sequence.

• UK 1975 cinema release

See article from sbbfc.co.uk:

The film was viewed in 1975 by the Board's Secretary, Stephen Murphy, and the President, Lord Harlech. They agreed there was no prospect of classification and, in a letter to the distributor, Murphy noted: I regret that we are unable to offer certification for this film: nor can we see how it can be cut to make it acceptable to us. We accept that it is a film of some seriousness of purpose: though also of some obscurity. Nevertheless, in many respect, it goes beyond the standards of taste which the Board is currently prepared to accept.

Sweet Sweetback's Baad Asssss Song

6s

Passed 18 after BBFC cuts of 6s and pre-cuts of 1:09s for:

• UK 2005 BFI R2 DVD

The BBFC commented: Cuts required to remove shots showing an adult female initiating sex with a boy.

Note that the Distributor made 1 minute 9 seconds of cuts prior to submission, attempting to bring this version into line with the cut UK cinema version. However, their cuts were insufficient and a further 5 seconds of cuts were required to bring this submission into line with UK cinema version. Total running time cut (pre-cuts and BBFC cuts) = 1 minute 15 seconds. All cuts were made by substituting unacceptable images with a blank screen, as per UK cinema version.

Passed 18 after BBFC cuts for:

• UK 2005 cinema release

The BBFC commented:

This work was previously passed uncut on video by the BBFC in 1998 on the basis of written assurances from the film's director, Melvin Van Peebles, that the person playing young Sweetback having sex with an adult female in reel one was Hubert Scales, an actor who was at least 18 at time of filming.

Information that has come light since 1998 has cast considerable doubt on those assurances and it now appears to the BBFC, on the basis of the available evidence, that the actor in the scene in question was, in fact, the director's son, Mario Van Peebles, who cannot have been older than 14 years at time of filming.

The Protection of Children Act 1978 makes it an offence to distribute, possess or advertise an indecent photograph of a child. A 'child' is currently defined as a person under the age of 18 and there is no exception granted for the current distribution, possession or advertisement of images created prior to the legislation.

The fact that the scene in reel one appears to show a 13 or 14 year old boy realistically simulating sexual intercourse with an adult obviously raised concerns that some of the images in the sequence might be considered indecent images of a child. The BBFC is fully aware of the historical and cultural significance of the film and endeavoured to explore the possibility that the sequence might not be caught by the provisions of the Act. To test this proposition the BBFC took advice not just from its own specialist legal advisors but also from one of the leading QCs in this area. The legal advice was unequivocal: the sequence was likely to be considered indecent under current UK law.

Although this is clearly a work of considerable political, social and cultural importance the Board was bound by its obligation to seek to ensure that works likely to be in breach of the criminal law are not classified and so could not grant a certificate to this film unless changes were made. The film's director chose to make the intervention by obscuring the relevant images with black ink, thereby maintaining the original soundtrack and running time. A caption explaining the intervention was added to the front of the film by the distributor at the film director's request.

The video distributor granted a certificate in 1998 has been made aware of the issue and has undertaken not to distribute further copies of that version.

The BBFC cut the 2008 Asphyxiation DVD by 22s: Cuts were required to a scene in which there was significant focus on gagging sounds during fellatio.

Passed 15 without BBFC cuts for:

• UK 1997 BFI VHS

From IMDb:

Jean-Luc Godard's original director's cut (titled One Plus One) runs approximately 110 minutes and consists largely of additional footage of the black power militants. The film's producers were dissatisfied with this cut and deleted 11 minutes, changed the title to Sympathy for the Devil to underscore the Stones connection, and added the final version of the title song to the film's soundtrack, over a freeze-frame of the last shot. These changes were all made without Godard's knowledge; when he finally saw them at the film's London Film Festival premiere, he allegedly went berserk and physically attacked one of the producers.
