1998 release Although the current tightened up R18 guidelines say that nudity including erections are acceptable, erections and labial detail have been cut from this version. Of course all of the hardcore action has been completely deleted. A totally pointless product painstakingly destroyed by the BBFC. No doubt readily available in the uncut version a few hundred metres from the BBFC offices. |

Special Edition The BBFC at their censorial worst on this one. The reason cited is that this video clearly depicts real sex throughout. The distributors were told to remove all hardcore scenes and those that barely mask the point of penetration. The most offensive BBFC requirement is that the length of sex scenes should be shortened. Assuming that all hardcore has been excised surely there can be no legal difference between a 6 minute scene and a 4 minute scene. Therefore the BBFC must be censoring running time just for the fun of it with no legal requirements to back up their whims. |

![]() |
1975 Spanish horror by Miguel Iglesias (Canon) Released on video by Canon in October 1982. Added to the video nasty list in August 1984 and remained listed throughout the panic. See review from IMDb: Monster Movie A team of scientists travel to Tibet to track down the Yeti. Among the group is Waldemar (Naschy) the werewolf who gets into a fight with the Yeti. This had an extremely low budget, which I think really helped the film because it's just like those B monster movies from the 1940's. The Yeti looks incredibly stupid but Naschy is quite good in his role and the werewolf look is nice. The Yeti is only used at the start and end of the film, which is a shame but the side plot dealing with Tibet rebels was nicely done. |

2006 UK horror by Michael J Bassett (Technicolor Home Entertainment) All versions pre-cut by the distributor as described by the BBFC in 2006 The distributor had requested it be considered for a ‘15’ when sent in for an advice viewing. However, with four uses of ‘cunt’, two of which were aggressive and in one case linked to a man head butting a woman, the language in the film was considered too strong for ‘15’. The distributor chose to reduce the very strong language in the film’s final edit, leaving a single use of ‘cunt’ said in frustration, which could be accommodated at the ‘15’ already required by the other violence, gore and strong language in the work. |

1987 Japanese anime by Hiroyuki Yamaga (Manga Entertainment) Attempted rape scene removed, but apparently not by the BBFC. As described by one of their examiners: Wings of Honneamise was cut in one place. It was a wholly gratuitous sexual assault in the middle of a film which was otherwise a wonderful experience for younger viewers. But, and this is important as other distributors often do the same, it was voluntarily cut by Manga Video to lower the certificate from its cinema classification of 15 to a PG for the video release. When this happens, it is not registered as a cut. |

Its strong bloody violence was acceptable at ‘18’, but not at a lower category. The uncut region 2 DVD is available at UK
Amazon
in Box of the Banned 2 Amazon Review: Here is an odd little gem of a film that fortunately ( at least for fans of offbeat cinema) has resurfaced on DVD, boasting a pristine film transfer. Descriptions of the film, the title of the film, and even the DVD cover itself do little to relate, or even hint at what is, as it turns out, an altogether strange, unsettling, humorous, and entertaining cinematic treat. The off kilter acting styles, unnatural tone, and dark humor of the film shares a kinship to the works of David Lynch ( who is too often misused as a comparative description) and is sure to surprise and delight viewers who have an affinity for the outré. Highly recommended. |

1990 UK fantasy film by Nicolas Roeg (Warner) The 1990 film and Warner Videos and the 2000 Warner DVD are all similarly cut by the BBFC to secure a PG rating From cuts details on IMDb
The uncut region 1 DVD is available at US Amazon Review from US Amazon: A Must! This is the kind of movie you can watch over and over, and each time you'll find something new to laugh at. Trying to mimic the hilariously delivered lines in the film, has yet to lose it's novelty between me and my friends. The film certainly does do justice to the classic Roald Dahl novel about the adventures of Luke, a young boy staying at an English seaside hotel which happens to be inhabited by the entire population of English child-hating witches and their supreme leader, the grand high witch, who are all under the guise of nice charitable ladies. The special effects are dazzling in combination with the delightful British humour which is contributed to by a number of familiar faces- Rowan Atkinson (Blackadder, Mr Bean)as the dry ill-tempered hotel manager, Jane Horrocks (Little Voice) as the fed up secretary, as well as Bill Paterson and Brenda Blethyn (Secrets and Lies). Yet the most fabulously larger than life performance is given by Anjelica Huston who plays Eva Ernst aka The Grand High Witch. The actress rightfully lets it rip, pumping energy and eccentricity into the character whist also displaying subtlety and composure when needed ie while she is in public view, disguised as chairman of the Royal Society for the prevention of cruelty to children. The film is accessible to all and has the ability to tickle the dryest of hearts. Stocked with nice touches, even the extras are part and parcel of the fun. DO YOUR SENSE OF HUMOUR A FAVOUR AND WATCH THIS FILM! |

1975 French/Belgian sexploitation by Jess Franco (Go) It briefly made the banned video nasty list in August 1984 but was dropped in October 1984
The uncut region 0 DVD is available at
US Amazon Jess Franco women in prison flick, which deals more with a jewellery robbery than the actual prison. There's still some dirty moments including tons of nudity, a lesbian scene and a couple torture sequences but this is still fairly clear for a Franco WIP film. Romay has never been accused of being a good actress but she fits her role fine here and she's certainly cute so watching her naked isn't a problem. Franco himself plays a gangster in the film, which is a role he did quite often during this time frame. |

1971 Yugoslavian film by Dusan Makavejev Uncut for cinema release but censored for the video version. James Ferman indicated that he would have preferred the uncut version for video release but it was the censored version prepared for channel 4 that was submitted. The cinema version is one of the very few films released with BBFC blessings that contain hardcore scenes. Another film that contains hardcore material (at least in the cinema version) is the French film Annabelle partagee, which begins with a close-up of a penis being masturbated to orgasm. I think it's out on video, but I don't know if it's cut or not. Not a Love Story is another where hardcore scenes are justified by a documentary context.
