v Ain't Misbehavin'
- 1974 UK collection of video clips by Peter Neal & Anthony Stern.
Ain't Misbehavin' is a 1974 UK collection of video clips by
Peter Neal & Anthony Stern. With Lou Abelardo, Elsie Carlisle and Nat 'King' Cole .
Banned by the BBFC for 1974 cinema release but was released in a presumably cut X rated version in 1976.
Summary Review: Music Videos and Porn Billed as: A Risqué Walk
Down Memory Lane. A large proportion of the film consists of soundies - short black & white films made for an early kind of video jukebox . So we get to see Fats Waller doing the title song, for instance. But
there are also pieces from sound shorts, and features - an eclectic collection, from both sides of the Atlantic. Interspersed between the musical numbers there are rather tame and clumsy vintage porn films. Surreal!

The Arabian Nights lyrics are still cut but there were now further cuts for 'offence'. The original version contained the Aladdin's line to Raja who is growling at him: Good tiger, take off and go,
However, after the film was released on home video, many began to speculate that the line was some sort of subliminal message meaning:
Good teenagers take off their clothes,
For the DVD release, this line was omitted, presumably to prevent any further speculation. The 2004 Platinum Edition introduced some graphical enhancements, the

~97:00s =~93:00s | 1984 Italy erotic film by Joe D'Amato. With Lilli Carati, Annie Belle and Al Cliver.
US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:
Summary Review: Surprisingly well-crafted An English soldier (Cliver) returns home from the Zulu war with the daughter of a tribal king (Gemser) as his slave (a gift that he was given for saving the kings life).
Not at all pleased with being a slave, the Ebony princess plots her revenge starting with the seduction of the mistress. Jealousy spreads like wildfire and before you know it, she has turned the household into a lustful frenzy of sex and hatred.
This film is actually far more twisted than it sounds. One of the more disturbing moments being a sequence about the filming of an inquisition-themed porno that turns into the sadistic rape of a lesbian / virgin by the filthy and
none too bright gardener. Sporting tons of full-frontal nudity, simulated lesbian and straight sex and some hard-core (as seen in an old stag film), this has the sleazy goods atmospheric setting, and is definitely
recommended. | 1:45s | | 88:45s | passed 18 after

See article from collider.com . Director Rob Cohen confirmed in an interview
that the film had been cut to achieve a PG-13 rating: There was trimming that needed to be done, but I was very conscious of it. You've got unrelenting violence and intensity, as they say. I love unrelenting intensity.
You have to know, up front, what their bugaboos are, and you have to do the dance. I knew that, when you take a scantily clad girl and tie her up with her own stockings, and she's thinking she's going to have some rough trade sex, you're already in
very dangerous territory with the MPAA, so I shot extra stuff and it wound up being cut back. I looked into that world of S&M and B&D, in my own life, and it's erotic. The whole thing is great, cinematically. I definitely made the scene about
control and not about sex. We went back and forth on that sequence, two or three times, and then got the PG-13.

See article from collider.com . Oliver Stone talks of creating a fourth
version for 2013: On Alexander, I released a shorter version [in theaters] because of Warner Brothers issues. And I [was] also rushed. [When] I released the director's cut -- it wasn't called a director's cut . It
was called The Final Cut because [earlier] there was a rushed director's cut that I was responsible for. My third version three years later in 2007 was called A Final Cut and I actually added forty some odd minutes -- which I think makes
the film better. I've been asked by Warner Brothers because they did so well with The Final Cut . They actually sold more than a million copies. They've asked me to go back next year and do a fourth version.
I want to cut it down now because I added too much. I want it to come back a little bit. There's some trimming [needed].

review from flix66.com : The main difference in this
Ultimate Cut versus the theatrical version is that Stone has re-edited the film so that instead of a straight-forward story there are now a lot of flashbacks

porn. Especially commendable to see the talented and very attractive Kristine DeBell get involved in a little hardcore. Not really full on, but the near mainstream quality of the film makes the few hardcore scenes that little bit more worthwhile.

This is a substantially different cut of the film presented more as an interesting DVD extra more than an alternative version of the film. See further
details on IMDb Thanks to Cameron. There is also substantial amount of extra material that did not make the final cut for one reason or another. See
article from avp.fandom.com for comprehensive details: Alien 3 had an incredibly troubled development, and even after the
final shooting script had been decided upon, the screenplay underwent at least 11 different drafts during the course of production. In addition to the frequent rewrites during filming, the movie underwent substantial restructuring in post-production
following criticism received in test screenings. Perhaps the most notable alterations made during the film's fraught production centered on the prisoner Golic , who was originally involved in a significantly more extensive subplot
regarding his reverence for the Dragon . His actions in the latter half of the film and the manner of his death underwent drastic changes as the script was repeatedly revised, only for much of the material actor Paul McGann filmed as the character to be
deleted from the final cut during editing (the extended Special Edition would later reinstate much of McGann's performance). Along with Golic, the fates of several other major characters in the movie similarly changed several times before the film was
completed. See full details in article from avp.fandom.com

- James Cameron's original version was too long for the producing studio so it demanded several cuts to tighten the plot. So Cameron went to the cutting room, again, and lost more than 15 minutes of footage. It was mostly character development of
Ripley or background information about what had happened to Newt's parents. But also some of the action got cut out.

in 2001 and then uncut and BBFC 18 rated since 2013. The Director's Cut was released MPA Unrated in the US. Promotional Material Diana (Claudia Koll) and Paolo (Paolo Lanza) are
happily married despite her much greater sexual appetite: he s content to simply listen to the stories of her various adventures. But when she has an affair that s much too close to home, he throws her out, and she moves into a Venetian flat to embark
upon an erotic voyage of discovery, while at the same time trying to win him back. Loosely inspired by the Mozart opera Così fan tutte (the title is a direct translation), the film tackles a crucial question: why
shouldn't women enjoy the same sexual freedom that they've long had to tolerate in their men? Especially when they have such shapely and inviting rears? Once again, Tinto Brass proves his unmatched skill at balancing
eroticism and humour in this lively and beautifully photographed comedy, both wittier and more sexually explicit than the average softcore romp. Director's Cut

See article from strangethingsarehappening.com : This film is certainly more graphic than you'd expect from standard softcore -- the women spread their legs, there's fairly graphic anal fingering and a
brief hardcore scene involving a home movie. But the film doesn't quite go all the way -- while the men sport solid erections, these are all prosthetics (something else that Meyer also used in his later films) and so the sex scenes that they appear in
are not real . But of course they are supposed to be the real thing, and so the line is rather blurred (and to confuse things more, there is a brief blowjob scene during the rave party that might be genuine). It's curious (but appreciated) that
All Ladies Do It -- surely a sex work by their own standards -- has been passed uncut in a longer version than previously seen.

Banned by the BBFC for 1970 cinema release. Summary Notes
An early example of Cannon's arty softcore productions. Marsha's immature, animalistic husband neglects and mistreats her. She is driven to embark on an affair with a romantic Frenchman, but
this likewise ends unhappily. Floundering, she sets out to write a series of love and sex novels. She consults a woman doctor who is considered an authority on the subject of sexuality, and the doctor promptly seduces her. She
uses her experiences as the basis for her novels but is finally unable to continue writing; and she takes her own life.

down a Chicago toilet and survives by eating discarded lab rats, injected with growth hormones. The small animal grows gigantic, escapes the city sewers, and goes on a rampage. Alligator is an over the top, ridiculous and fun
man vs. beast horror movie. Think a B-movie version of Jaws if he were on steroids and able to jump out of the water and run through the streets looking for food. For the viewer that likes his horror gory Alligator has
significant bright red blood splattered about as the beast chomps away and devours his victims throughout the city neighbourhoods and sewers.

The Amazing Transplant is a 1970 US mystery fantasy by Doris Wishman Starring João Fernandes, Linda Southern and Larry Hunter
Heavily cut by the BBFC for 18 rated DVD release in 2005. The Unrated Special Edition
from Something Weird is missing a couple of scenes seemingly at the behest of the director Summary Review In the world of exploitation cinema, Doris Wishman was a trailblazer. She also was
slightly nuts. So it's only natural that she would be the one with the [moxy] to make "The Amazing Transplant," the first penis transplant movie. Nerdy Arthur never had much luck with the ladies, but lately he's raping women.... The reason?
That brand new penis he got (in a bloodless surgery) also gave him a new fetish that makes him lose control when he sees women wearing gold earrings! As if the story wasn't odd enough, the uninitiated might find Wishman's style a bit jarring. All dialog
is post-dubbed so, in an apparent effort to avoid troublesome lip-synching, Doris tries not to turn the camera on anyone who's supposed to be speaking. In addition to Wishman's hypnotically surreal narrative, check out the included
trailers to Wishman movies like "Deadly Weapons," "The Immoral Three" and her sickest movie, "Love Toy." Topping off this DVD trashfest are a couple of shorts, "Penis Facts" and a Navy sex hygiene film that's
surprisingly explicit --and hilarious.
Summary Notes A seemingly pleasant fellow, Arthur goes berserk and rapes any woman in front of him wearing gold earrings. One woman tells the
investigating detective (who is Arthur's uncle) she was raped, and flashes back to an erotic love making scene. Another one, a lesbian, relates a story ...

topless through most of it. This is a must-see for fans of cannibals.

- After the Christmas visit with Charlie Williams, there's an

they're forced to land on a remote island. Looking for shelter, they're grateful to encounter Ma and Pa and their children - an eccentric family living in the island's backwoods. But what begins as simple hospitality turns into a terrifying race for
survival as the friends start disappearing one by one ... and turning up dead. "American Gothic" is an unusual horror thriller in the simple way that it is character-driven - it doesn't care about suspense and does
NOT go overboard in the gore department - although it lapses into Body Count Movie cliches. Rod Steiger as usual is given an opportunity to go wildly over the top, and Yvonne DeCarlo, a.k.a. Lily Munster, is on hand as his
wife. These two veterans tend to act rings around their younger co-stars.

- American Fighter
- American Warrior
American Ninja is a 1985 USA action romance by Sam Firstenberg. Starring Michael Dudikoff, Steve James and Judie Aronson.
Cut by the BBFC for 18 rated 1985 cinema release and further cut for the
subsequent VHS. Uncut since 18 rated 2001 DVD. Uncut and MPAA R rated in the US. Summary Review : Holds up well American soldier, obviously very skilled in martial arts, single-handedly takes on
mercenaries in the Philippines. For being 20 years old this movie holds up remarkably well.
New recruit Michael Dudikoff unwillingly gets mixed up in some illegal arms transaction between crooked Army brass and a group of
ninjas. He also accidentally arouses the lustful attention of the Colonel's hot tan daughter! Some reviewers mention this as a "guilty pleasure" I disagree. With great fight scenes, icky sound effects every time somebody
gets stabbed, a fun story and a energetic performance by Steve James there's no way you can classify this as a guilty pleasure. It's too good for that.

v American Ninja 2: The Confrontation - 1987 USA action drama by Sam Firstenberg.
American Ninja 2: The Confrontation is a 1987 USA action drama by Sam Firstenberg. With Michael Dudikoff, Steve James and Larry Poindexter.
Cut by the BBFC from 1987 until the cuts were waived for 2006 DVD. Uncut in the US. Summary Review: Must Have Bad Action Films On a remote Caribbean island, Army Ranger Joe Armstrong
investigates the disappearance of several marines, which leads him to The Lion, a super-criminal who has kidnapped a local scientist and mass-produced an army of mutant Ninja warriors. American Ninja 1, 2 & 3 represent
everything that bad, low-budget action movies should be: negligible plotting, lame dialogue, wooding acting, and plenty of semi-believable martial-arts action. Not that plot really matters, since it's interrupted about every five
minutes for a fight scene. Dudikoff and the other guy can't really act, but they can fight, and that's all that really matters. No self-respecting fan of bad action should be without this DVD.

v American Ninja 3: Blood Hunt - 1989 USA/Canada/South Africa action drama by Cedric Sundstrom.
American Ninja 3:
Blood Hunt is a 1989 USA/Canada/South Africa action drama by Cedric Sundstrom. With David Bradley, Steve James and Marjoe Gortner.
A pre-cut version was passed 18 for VHS. The film was later passed uncut on
15 rated DVD. Uncut and MPAA R rated in the US. Summary Review: Lower quality Jackson is back, and now he has a new partner, karate champion Sean, as they must face a deadly terrorist known as The
Cobra , who has infected Sean with a virus. I don't know why Dudikoff quit, but I wish that it hadn't happened. Not that I dislike David Bradley, but Dudikoff is just a better actor, without doubt. On the contrary, Bradley is
better in the fighting scenes, which (as always) makes up an important part in the movie. American Ninja 3 has much of the same as in the two first movies, but with lower quality.

American Ninja 4: The Annihilation is a 1990 USA action drama by Cedric Sundstrom. Starring Michael Dudikoff, David Bradley and James Booth.
Cuts were required for a BBFC 18 rated VHS release in 1991. Uncut and BBFC 15 rated by 2015. Uncut and MPAA R rated in the US. Summary Review CIA agent Sean Davidson and his sidekick
Carl are sent into the stronghold of sadistic British ex-soldier Mulgrew to rescue some Delta Force commandoes who have been captured and tortured. When Sean, Carl and pretty doctor Sarah run into some problems, Peace Corps vet Joe Armstrong is lured out
of retirement to stop Mulgrew's plan to explode a nuclear device in New York City. Say what you want but I love this movie. After all, who doesn't love story's where a few brave warriors defeat all odds and
the enemy to save the day!
Obviously not an Academy Award winner, but who cares. This is a total guy film. Not to forget, the late Robin Stille is a very attractive addition to the story.

v American Ninja V
- 1993 US action comedy romance by Bob Bralver
American Ninja V is a 1993 US action comedy romance by Bob Bralver Starring David Bradley, Lee Reyes and Anne Dupont
Cut by the BBFC for 18 rated VHS release in 1993. Uncut and MPAA PG-13 rated in the US.
Summary Notes Here we get the "PG-13/Karate Kid wanna-be" version of American Ninja. David Bradley (American Ninja 3 & 4) returns but this time he plays a
different character. Another bummer is that now the great fight sequences are gone. The fights from the previous Ninja instalments are more tamed down, kid friendly battle scenes with Hiro making stupid comments every now
and then. It's as if the filmmakers were targeting fans of the Karate Kid series instead of fans the violent R-Rated American Ninja franchise. Mistake.

Amityville II: The

Summary Review: Repulsive little flick
A family moves into their new home, which proves to be evil, resulting in the demonic possession of the teenage son. Only the local priest can save him. Amityville II: Possession is actually
one impressively repulsive little flick, trafficking as it does in a massively dysfunctional family, incest, bloody murder, demonic possession, priests neglecting needy parishioners to go romping off on a hunting expedition, heads exploding like rotten
melons, and lots of nasty creepy slimy things factory designed to go bump in the night.
I wasn't expecting anything at all from Amityville 2, so imagine my surprise when I found a full-bore, absolutely relentless, tastily atmospheric little
horror flick that practically exuded evil through its pores: Amityville 2: Possession is certainly not for the fainthearted.

v Amsterdamned
- 1988 Dutch action film by Dick Maas.
Amsterdamned is a 1988 Dutch action film by Dick Maas. With Huub Stapel,
Monique van de Ven and Serge-Henri Valcke.
Cut by the BBFC for 18 rated 1989 cinema release and VHS. Uncut since 2009 15 rated DVD. Uncut and MPAA R rated in the US. Summary Review: Aquatic serial killer A mysterious diver
hiding in Amsterdam's canal system embarks on a rampage of gruesome murders, terrifying city officials and leaving few clues for the city's best detective. Dutch director Dick Maas clearly has a flair for entertainment. This
serial killer film is lifted above the norm by a series of fantastic sequences; from creepy murder scenes to a hilariously over the top speed boat chase through the canals of Amsterdam, Amsterdamned is a delight to watch from start to finish.
Dick Maas bombards the audience with stunning location shots, deliriously entertaining sequences and some very sinister moments of horror to ensure that Amsterdamned never becomes trite or dull - and besides, every time there's
a danger of the film going downhill, our competent director is on hand with another grisly murder sequence! The atmosphere is always foreboding as it is made clear that the murderer could strike at any time.

Amuck is a 1972 Italy mystery thriller by Silvio Amadio. Starring Farley Granger, Barbara Bouchet and Rosalba Neri.
Cut by the BBFC for 1972 cinema release under the title Hot Bed of Sex. The

Italian shockers like BLACK BELLY OF THE TARANTULA and DON T TORTURE A DUCKLING that cemented Barbara Bouchet s status as one of the most libidinous icons of Euro-cult cinema. Happily, Silvio Amadio's saucy thriller AMUCK! fits snugly into this
giallo-centric category too, and here Bouchet stars as Greta; a nubile young secretary under the recent employment of the cravat-wearing Richard (Farley Granger ROPE). Partial to the occasional bout of swinging along with his wanton wife Eleanora
(Rosalba Neri SLAUGHTER HOTEL), Richard also seems to harbour a dark secret: the mysterious whereabouts of his missing former assistant, Sally, whom Greta knows very intimately indeed... Versions
