This is the best available version with remaining material cut by the BBFC assumed to be lost. Summary Review: One of the much better Hammer movies A village in Nineteenth Century Europe is at first relieved when a circus breaks through the quarantine to take the local's minds off the plague. But their troubles are only beginning as children begin to disappear and the legacy of a long-ago massacre is brought to light. One of the much better Hammer movies, with much blood and nudity, to say nothing of an even more startling child abduction/murder. The visiting circus theme gives the film a tremendous boost. People and animals turn into each other and a dance by the tiger/lady is, as they say, worth the price of admission alone. Super, well paced, sexy, bloody, horror. |

Australia: Uncut and M (PG-15) Rated for:
Summary Review: A Gem The Countess is called away to tend a sick friend and imposes on the General to accept her daughter Marcilla as a houseguest. Some of the villagers begin dying, however, and the General's daughter Laura soon gets weak and pale, but Marcilla is there to comfort her. Vampire Lovers is a particularly fine example and a cultural milestone that heralded the arrival of vampires as being romantic, charismatic and seductive. Essentially defining the vampire for the generation of films that would follow Ingrid Pitt carries the cast and production effortlessly on a tide of charisma, charm, grace and almost preternatural beauty. The film's much vaunted eroticism, through solely projections of male fantasy, are undoubtedly stirring. Ingrid's seduction of Madeline Smith when she chases her round the room before falling onto the bed alongside her is as erotic as anything I have seen onscreen. Vampire Lovers is a gem which deserves to be savoured and relished. |

The US release is uncut and MPAA Unrated for:
Avoid the US Anchor Bay DVD which is cut by 29s even though it proclaims otherwise Amazon Review: Quality-looking film A pair of bisexual women living in a dark, decaying mansion have a craving for blood and sex. Hitchhiking in long black cloaks, they lure men home and then take them to bed, slash them with knives, and dump the bodies, making it look like a car wreck. They like one guy so much they keep him around for days and he knows something bad is happening, but he's not sure what. Some people camping nearby also suspect that the women are up to strange things.... The violence is strong even though there's more blood than gore, plenty of sex and nudity, and some very lyrical, beautiful scenes. The ending throws a whole new, darker twist on the proceedings and ties it all together nicely. It has kind of a "Hammer Films" look to it, but the storyline is more along the lines of Jean Rollin. Even though the budget was small, this is a quality-looking film. |

The US release is uncut and MPAA Unrated for:
Summary Review: Pleasant enough This is a German version of the classic Emmanuelle. An Austrian convent schoolgirl inherits her uncle's string of brothels in the Far East. Sex scenes here are of the very softcore variety (The whipping scenes are limp, lame and some of the least convincing around). Olivia Pascal is absolutely lovely as are two of the other ladies but the rest of the cast far less so. Acting quality is par for course in a softcore flick - fairly mediocre. As mildly amusing erotica, it's a pleasant enough way to spend the evening. |

2000 US/Japan action film by Ryûhei Kitamura There is an Unrated Director's Cut. Ultimate Versus is an Extended Version produced 3 years after the initial release with extra CGI material, new fights and changes to the music score. From US Amazon: A Cult Hit Versus is a cult hit from the beginning. Ryuhei Kitamura's film has all the ingredients for stylish mayhem: Zombies, Guns & Gangsters, Samurai Swordplay, Slick humor, a cute chick, anime-like fantasy and mystery. The story revolves around prisoner escapee KSC2-303(Tak Sakaguchi, from Shinobi, Death Trance, Azumi) stuck in the Forest of Resurrection to seek safe haven. Unfortunately, the crime lord supposed to grant him this has his own motives and he finds himself against a mysterious supernatural opponent to whom he is linked. This flick is a stylish relentless, rampaging zombie action-noir-horror hybrid that Hollywood probably wishes it thought of it first. The difference between the R1 Ultimate Edition and the previous R1 Special edition are:

85:47s | The CIC video release was cut when submitted in 1997. From newsgroup discussions Well I have some basic training with their use (and I know some good martial artists who are proficient) and I can absolutely guarantee that without extensive training (many months at least) the only person you'll hurt with nunchaku is yourself. They are a difficult weapon at best. Which is exactly the point made by A Very Brady Sequel - and I repeat my allegation that the BBFC-snipped version is actually more dangerous than the uncut version, because while the nunchakas are still visible, the repeated scenes of the user knocking himself out with them have largely been removed. |

Passed PG after BBFC cuts for:
The film was originally viewed by the BBFC in an incomplete form, with the music score unfinished and the opening and closing credits missing. During this advice screening, the BBFC requested that a heavy crotch kick and a double neck chop, both given by Bond, be removed from the film to get a PG rating. These cuts occur during the fight in the hidden room under Zoran's stable. If you watch the scene closely, or even frame by frame, the scene is somewhat sloppy in a couple of places. When the film was edited, the pre-cut version was submitted for a formal rating. During this stage of classification, the Board asked for an alteration to the opening titles on a shot of an almost nude woman. Its hard to speculate which woman this refers to, but viewing the titles it seems likely that it could be the woman seen through a scope near the beginning, who becomes defocused and blurry whenever she turns the front of body towards the camera, or the mirrored image of the dancing women at the end as Michael Wilson's name appears. She too, goes out of focus on a profile shot where her nipples almost become clearly visible. With this last change made, the PG rating was awarded. US:

In this version of the film, there is some focus on sprays of blood when people are shot, and on the hero defeating his opponents by breaking their bones, making it too strong for a 12 classification and placing it at 15 instead. This version is longer than the version which was passed 12A on film and contains stronger violence. VILLU also contains some mild bad language, including uses of shit, bloody and bugger. |

US: Uncut and MPAA R Rated for:
Summary Review: Looking Good Christine gets her big chance at modelling when she applies at Sybil Waite's agency. Together with Christine's sister Betty they go to a castle for the weekend for a photo shoot On one hand critics criticised: yeah there's this coven of witches, and a couple of cute girls are being lured into it, but that doesn't prevent this film from being only so-so at best. One of the girls becomes the plaything of the head female witch, but any potential eroticism is wasted as they never actually do anything together. Aside from a couple of brief moments when the girls are without their clothes, this film was just plain boring. On the other hand some critics have lightened up on the film seeing it in its 2012 pristine transfer. Perhaps because it makes for even more appreciation of the beautiful Ann and Vicki Michelle. |

Visions of Ecstasy is a 1989 UK erotic short by Nigel Wingrove. With Louise Downie, Elisha Scott and Dan Fox. UK: Passed 18 uncut for nudity and sex involving religious images for:
US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:
See BBFC press release from bbfc.co.uk: Visions of Ecstasy is a 19 minute short film, featuring a sequence in which a figure representing St Teresa of Avila interacts sexually with a figure representing the crucified Christ. When the film was originally submitted to the BBFC in 1989, for video classification only, the Board refused to issue a classification certificate. This decision was taken on the grounds that the publication of the film, which the issue of a BBFC certificate would permit, might constitute an offence under the common law test of blasphemous libel. The Board is required, as part of the terms of its designation under the Video Recordings Act 1984, to seek to avoid classifying any work that might infringe the criminal law. Therefore, the Board had no alternative at the time but to refuse a classification. The Board's decision to refuse a classification to the film was subsequently upheld by the independent Video Appeals Committee. In 2008, section 79 of the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act abolished the common law offences of blasphemy and blasphemous libel. This means that the BBFC is no longer entitled to consider whether the publication of the film might comprise a blasphemous libel. The BBFC has carefully considered Visions of Ecstasy in terms of its current classification Guidelines. These reflect both the requirements of UK law and the wishes of the UK public, as expressed through regular large scale consultation exercises. With the abolition of the offence of blasphemy, the Board does not consider that the film is in breach of any other UK law that is currently in force. Nor does the Board regard the film as likely to cause harm to viewers in the terms envisioned by the Video Recordings Act. The Board recognises that the content of the film may be deeply offensive to some viewers. However, the Board's Guidelines reflect the clear view of the public that adults should have the right to choose their own viewing, provided that the material in question is neither illegal nor harmful. In the absence of any breach of UK law and the lack of any credible risk of harm, as opposed to mere offensiveness, the Board has no sustainable grounds on which to refuse a classification to Visions of Ecstasy in 2012. Therefore the film has been classified for video release at 18 without cuts. |

Banned by the BBFC for:
The BBFC decision was subsequently appealed to the Video Appeals Committee who upheld the ban. Director Nigel Wingrove then took his case to the European Court of Human Rights, but again lost his case. By Mark Kermode:Visions of Ecstasy, an
innocuous (if rather silly) short film depicting 'the ecstatic and erotic
visions of St Teresa of Avila was banned in the UK in 1989. In the film, St
Teresa is first seduced by her own sexual psyche, and then mounts and caresses the crucified body of
Christ. Technical shortcomings notwithstanding (hands which seem to move
freely despite apparently being nailed down) the film raised a problem for
the BBFC, which is forbidden from classifying material which may infringe
the laws of the land. In a mealy-mouthed ruling, the Court agreed that Freedom of expression constitutes one of the essential foundations of a democratic society, but with the caveat that freedom carries with it duties and responsibilities including a duty to avoid as far as possible an expression that is, in regard to objects of veneration [i.e. religion], gratuitously offensive to others and profanatory. Which effectively meant that Wingrove was allowed his freedom of expression unless such freedom offended his Christian peers. In which case, he wasn't... |

Visiting Hours is a 1982 Canadian horror film by Jean-Claude Lord With Michael Ironside and Lee Grant. See IMDb US: Uncut and MPAA R Rated for:
Summary Review: Not your everyday slasher A crazed, women-hating killer (Ironside) attacks journalist Deborah Ballin (Grant). When he discovers that his attack didn't kill Deborah, he comes to the hospital to finish what he started. The movie is really quite tense at times. The attack at Deborah's home is
frightening, especially the dumb waiter scene. And the climactic chase is
amazingly pulled off. The acting is alright and the music is also to note, and adds a lot of
atmosphere. |

98:42s | The Voyeur is a 1994 Italy drama by Tinto Brass.
With Katarina Vasilissa, Francesco Casale and Cristina Garavaglia. See IMDb US: The Director's Cut is MPAA Unrated for:
Summary Review: Close to hardcore At a college in Rome, a professor, nicknamed Dodo is in a deep depression. His stunningly beautiful wife has just left him for another man. Dodo wants her back very badly and has erotic daydreams about her. A beautiful young student in his class asks him for a ride home and seduces the lucky man, but still he wonders about his wife and her lover. What is so unique about Brass' films of this decade (and to a slightly lesser degree his 1980s films as well) is how they manage to combine eroticism with an explicitness that is close to hardcore porn, and that without ever looking seedy or overly stylish. Greatly supporting this effect are the music of Riz Ortolani and the excellent cinematography by Massimo Di Venanzo. With L'Uomo che guarda Brass seems to be telling the porno makers: this is how a sex film can and should look like. |
