Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion is a 1970 Spain/Italy mystery thriller by Luciano Ercoli.
With Dagmar Lassander, Pier Paolo Capponi and Simón Andreu.
Cut by the BBFC for an X rated cinema release in 1971. Later uncut on home video. Uncut and MPAA Unrated in the US. Summary Review: Impeccable direction A triangle of friendship,
love, sex, and, perhaps, murder. A stranger accosts Minou one night on the beach while her husband Peter is away. He tells her that Peter has murdered a business associate and blackmails her into sleeping with him. He compounds the blackmail with photos
taken of their tryst. While gorehounds may be a tad disappointed by the lack of extreme violence in this picture, there are abundant joys to be found. Luciano Ercoli's direction is impeccable; the script by Ernesto Gastaldi is one
made to keep you guessing; and Susan Scott, playing Minou's best friend, is remarkably sexy.

A Force of One is a 1979 US action film by Paul Aaron.

Summary Notes: A team of undercover narcotics agents is conducting an investigation when things mysteriously begin to go haywire. One by one, the squad is eliminated by an assassin. To help discover
the identity of the karate killer, the police enlist the aid of karate champion Matt Logan. There's not much in the way of plot, but it has a decent enough emotional story. If you're into martial arts, and want to see Chuck Norris

Force 10 From Navarone is a 1978 UK / USA action war drama by Guy Hamilton.
Starring Harrison Ford, Robert Shaw and Edward Fox.
The Theatrical Version was cut by the BBFC for an 'A' rated cinema
released in 1978. The Theatrical Version was 15 rated on VHS. The Restored European Version of 2005 was uncut and 12 rated. The Theatrical Version was MPAA PG rated in the US.
Summary Notes
Mallory and Miller are back. It seems that there was traitor with them at Navarone, whom they thought was executed. But it seems that not only was he not executed, and he was not a traitor but a German spy. Intelligence believes he
made it to Yugoslavia and is now with the Partisans. So, Mallory and Miller being the only ones who can positively identify him are sent along with a unit called Force 10, which is led by Colonel Barnsby, who objects to their presence. It seems that
Force 10 has a mission of their own which Mallory and Miller know nothing about. When their plane is shot and most of the team is killed, they mistakenly believe that some of the locals they meet are Partisans but in reality are German Allies, so they
are taken prisoner, and have to convince the German commander that they are not spies or else they will be killed. Restored European Version

- The Last Victim
- Rape in the Suburbs
Forced Entry is a 1975 US thriller by Jim Sotos.
With Tanya Roberts, Ron Max and Nancy Allen.
There was a 1973 hardcore film, Forced Entry , by Shaun Costello
that featured a maniac war vet killer. It obviously impressed and was remade by Jim Sotos without the hardcore. It was titled The Last Victim , originally with an MPAA PG rating. It didn't do well and was beefed up with stronger material. It was
MPAA R rated and reissued theatrically as Forced Entry . This was a little too strong for the UK market and was toned down. However it was still banned by the BBFC from 1982 cinema release, but it did make it on to pre-cert VHS. More recently
the Director reworked the Forced Entry version into his Director's Cut which drops most of the stronger footage. Summary Review: Rapist in the 1st Person Likened to Joe Spinell's Maniac
except the focus is more on the sexual perversion and assault rather than gory killing scenes. It is filmed from the point of view of a serial rapist as he cruises round town looking for victims. Nancy Allen and Tanya Roberts fit
the bill. The first person narrative adds to the scariness and makes it more effective than most in the genre.

Review from Amazon US Forced Vengeance is about much raw strength and nice evil
characters. Real characters, not the usual martial arts actors of the nineties. It's great. So, the fights here are not dozens of minutes but a few hard hits. And to see, how these hits work, give it a brutal flavor. The colors
in the movie are sometimes neon lights, sometimes a very hard contrast to blood Forced Vengeance is about 60% dialogue and 40% fights / violence. I would say it is pretty good. Plus Joy is a cutie. Plus it has good music. Plus
the letter characters for the cast are really stylish (note that in the making of a film even the fonts have to be chosen). Chuck Norris is not there to make a good movie actor but to hit damn hard, and he does. |

Found is a 2012 USA horror thriller by Scott Schirmer.
Starring Gavin Brown, Ethan Philbeck and Phyllis Munro.
Cut by the BBFC for an 18 rated 2014 DVD release. Uncut in the US. Cut by 2 minutes in Australia after being initially banned. Promotional Material FOUND is a unique and
supremely disturbing coming-of-age story of a boy whose big brother is a serial-killer.
Growing up is tough for Marty. His parents don't understand him and he is bullied at school. He has only his big brother to look up to...that is until he
discovers his brother's chilling secret and a severed head in a sports bag at home.
FOUND unravels a gripping and gruesome story that captures what it's like to grow up in the time of VHS tapes and video nasties, as the American dream and
everyday suburbia descends into a home-grown hell that will leave even the most hardened horror fan shocked by its disturbing finale.
"One of the most gut-wrenching experiences I've had in a long time" (Dark Media)

| 103:11s | UK: A pre-cut version was passed 18 for
strong bloody violence, sexualised violence, gory images after a further 4s of BBFC compulsory cuts for:
The BBFC commented:
- A cut was required to remove sight of a murderer's erect penis, during a scene of sadistic sexualised violence and threat.
The BBFC also provide Extended Classification Information (includes spoilers) : FOUND is a horror film about a horror-obsessed boy who discovers his older brother is a serial killer.
Scenes of strong bloody violence include sight of beheadings and stabbings. There are strong gory images, both during violence and in the aftermath of violence, including sight of entrails and sight of eyes being gouged out of a
severed head and eaten. In one scene, a woman is tied up and partially stripped, after which it is implied that her breast has been cut off. Although aftemath sight of her bloody chest is seen, there is no detail of the actual
cutting. Elsewhere, a rape is attempted but stopped. Another scene implies that sexual violence is taking place off screen. The film also contains occasional use of strong language ('fuck'), as well as discriminatory terms, such
as faggot . There is also strong threat, moderate sex references and breast nudity.
Update from MoonMetropolis via twitter: Is the UK release pre-cut? Regarding Found: some of climactic
violence is off-screen, but we do see breast-cutting in one scene & sex with severed head. The breast-cutting & severed head-fucking all take place in context of a fictional film-within-a-film watched by protagonist.
So the fact that the BBFC have indicated that these two scenes are not present then one has to conclude that a pre-cut version was submitted to the BBFC. Perhaps the cut Australian Version or else cut by the UK distributor.
See
pictorial cuts from movie-censorship.com The UK release of
Found is cut by 1;39s so must have suffered pre-cuts in addition to the 4s of BBFC cuts. Four scenes were cut:
- Cuts to the killer tormenting a chained woman by pushing his facemask into a wound on the woman's chest
- After the killer decapitates the woman's head and eating her gouged out the eyes, he has sex with the head, or at least the eye sockets.
This is unsurprisingly missing from the UK release.
- Similar head sex is subsequently cut from the death of a second female victim.
- The erect penis is deleted from the killer passing through a boys room to get a machete. The scene is
dark and this is difficult to make out anyway.

The BBFC commented:
- Having had the film classified on 30 June 2006, the company submitted a re-edited version with changes made to reels 2, 3 and 5. This version was deemed suitable for classification at 12A.
Presumably this is the cut US PG-13 version. It was originally rated R by the MPAA for some violence but was later edited down to a PG-13 rating for some intense sequences of violent action, some sensuality and language. |

Four Flies on Grey Velvet is a 1971 Italy / France mystery thriller by Dario Argento.
Starring Michael Brandon, Mimsy Farmer and Jean-Pierre Marielle.
Cut by the BBFC for an X rated 1973 cinema release. Later uncut and 15
rated for 2012 home video. Uncut by the MPAA but US prints are missing 40s through print damage. Summary Notes Roberto, a drummer in a rock band, keeps receiving weird phone calls and being followed
by a mysterious man. One night he manages to catch up with his persecutor and tries to get him to talk but in the ensuing struggle he accidentally stabs him. He runs away, but he understands his troubles have just begun when the following day he receives
an envelope with photos of him killing the man. Someone is killing all his friends and trying to frame him for the murders... Argento demonstrates some very creative camera work in this one. Furthermore, he keeps a nice and steady
pace, there is very little downtime in this one and Ennio Morricone gives a good, if not great score. It also boasts some inventive deaths. Now, Four Flies on Grey Velvet certainly has its flaws. There is a bit too much
comedy in for my tastes, which I feel distracted from the horror. Also, Morriconne's score is underutilized and there isn't enough nudity. Dario Argento's rarest giallo is part of the Animal Trilogy which also includes The Bird with the Crystal Plumage
and Cat O'Nine Tails .

491 is a 1964 Sweden drama by Vilgot Sjöman.
With Lars Lind, Leif Nymark and Stig Törnblom.
Banned by the BBFC for 1968 cinema release. Not released since Summary Review: Shocking It is written that 490 times you can sin and be forgiven. This motion picture is about the 491st.
This movie was an absolute bombshell when it opened in 1964. Proved shocking at the time with scenes including tacit allusions to sodomy and a scene depicting (out of shot) a dog rape! Apart from that there was
the naked portrait of a society in change where young people behave in a way unknown to their parents. This was unnerving, unsettling. But the Problem with the movie is that despite its good intentions it doesn't work.

Foxy Brown is a 1974 US action film by Jack Hill.
With Pam Grier, Antonio Fargas and Peter Brown.
Uncut for 1974 cinema release and a 1982 VHS which was seized by the police during the video nasties moral panic. Cut for 1987 VHS but uncut in all home video releases since 1998. Uncut and MPAA R rated in the US Summary Review:
Blaxploitation classic A voluptuous black woman takes a job as a high-class prostitute in order to get revenge on the mobsters who murdered her boyfriend. Foxy Brown features a
brilliant lead performance from the hypnotically attractive Pam Grier, whose federal agent boyfriend is gunned down, and who sets out to fight for revenge and justice where the System has failed her and at the same time is matched at every turn by
Antonio Huggy Bear Fargas as her no-good younger brother. The rest of the performances are variable, and the budgets of these things did tend to preclude brilliant method actors! Jack Hill's direction keeps things ticking
over nicely and the screenplay swings wildly between shock-horror tactics, tongue-in-cheek theatricality and even the occasional stab at gut-level farce. Foxy Brown is a definite must-see. Definitely one of the best, and most
enjoyable blaxploitation films I've seen thus far.

Cut by the BBFC for cinema release. Then further cut for a US R rating. All home video version were cut to some extent until 2014 when an uncut restored version was released
Summary Review: Monster from the Planet
of the Apes Last of the Hammer Frankenstein films, this one deals with the Baron hiding out in an insane asylum, so that he may continue his experiments with reanimating the dead, along with inmate Dr. Helder, who has
been institutionalized for conducting such experiments. Fisher's attention to atmosphere and Cushing's patented mad doctor lay down a solid foundation, but John Elder's stilted script, cheapo production values (nice miniatures!)
and poor make-up FX (the monster looks like Big Foot mixed with Cornelius from PLANET OF THE APES) kill its serious intentions. However, there's enough going on here to merit at least one watch for horror fans.

about the exploits of a deckchair attendant in the fictional English seaside resort town of Gormleigh. Aided by his reporter gilfriend Judy (Alita Naughton), deckchair attendant Jim (James Booth) dreams up a plan to revitalise the town by organising a
film festival centred around French movie star pin-up Franēoise Fayol (Marisa Mell). Travelling to France with entertainments manager Henry Liggott (Roy Kinnear) to enlist the star's help, the pair finally convince her to return with them to headline the
festival. But although Fayol receives a warm welcome in the town, a series of unplanned mishaps see the festival, which up to that point had been a roaring success, descend into farce.

Thanks to Nicholas. The BBFC cuts were:
- The BBFC removed a scene with Franēoise Fayol (Marisa Mell) dressed as a nun revealing her garter as part of a dream sequence. Ken Russell confirms this in an old Radio Times interview from 30 October 1971 which accompanied a
BBC TV broadcast of the film that week. This scene was later returned in part or in whole to the surviving prints that exist today.
Previously, late on in the editing process Warner-Pathe decided to shorten the film. The scenes removed have never been included in any official release and are now considered lost. From IMDb: There is a missing scene
between where Franēoise agrees to join Jim and Henry at their place. This was Ken Russell's favourite scene in the entire movie but it was dropped by the producers, hence the unexplained cut between France and the pier of Gormleigh.
Nicholas explains:
Regarding the original 100 minutes, it is known that several scenes and tail ends including the one referenced on IMDb were removed from the cut as the film was considered too long by the original distributor Warner-Pathe
that was part owned by Associated British at Elstree Studios who did not like the film. There are production stills, press shots and amateur photographs from residents of Herne Bay confirming scenes that were deleted. The late
French actress Germaine Delbat is credited in one version of the surviving prints yet is never seen in the film. It is believed that she played a kind concierge who took in Jim Stevens (James Booth) and Henry Ligget (Roy Kinnear) to her ruined
Tudor hotel when they were hopelessly lost on foot in woodland on the road from Boulogne to Le Touquet. The scene referenced on IMDb was after the two Englishmen found Franēoise Fayol (Marisa Mell) in Le Touquet and brought her
back to the hotel for a picnic (production stills exist of this) before returning to England with her the next day. These are the scenes that were most treasured by Ken Russell and the producer Kenneth Harper, but they to were cut possibly very late in
the process hence why Germaine Delbat remains credited in one print as French woman . The surviving print moves scene via a poorly executed cut from the Englishmen's invitation in Le Touquet straight to their arrival back
in England at the end of the pier. Unfortunately of course all these scenes are believed to no longer exist in any format. Possibly Ken Russell might have owned a personal collection or the original 100 minute print but all of his
possessions were destroyed in a catastrophic house fire in 2006. He confirmed that he had lost his copy in 2008 when he came to introduce an outdoor screening in Herne Bay.

There's a cut R rated Theatrical Version and an uncut Unrated Killer Cut
Summary Review: Decent Gore In this remake, a group of young adults discover a boarded up Camp Crystal
Lake, where they soon encounter Jason Voorhees and his deadly intentions. The Jason mythology is still here. His mother is still involved, there's still a hockey mask, and it all makes sense. If you're
looking for sex, drugs and rock and roll, this film has it. Plenty of topless girl screen time, although you should be warned that the two most attractive women don't get naked. Many good one-liner jokes, and the gore here is
decent.

- The Killer Cut lets Whitney escape from her prison in Jason's catacombs for a short period of time but later he manages to catch her, again, anyway. The Killer Cut uses several scenes to treat this change. In those scenes a little bit more of Jason's
historical background is being told.
- When it comes to sex and violence the film is definitely a little more explicit than the Theatrical version.
- The Killer Cut contains 5 additional scenes,
- 9 scenes containing story
extensions,
- 12 scenes containing erotic (partially alternative footage),
- 15 scenes containing violence extension

Friday the 13th is a 1980 US slasher by Sean S Cunningham.
With Betsy Palmer, Adrienne King and Jeannine Taylor.
Exists as an uncut Unrated version and a cut R rated version. The cut version was passed 18 for UK 1980 cinema release. The uncut version was initially released on pre-cert VHS but was seized by police and the distributors reverted to
the cut version until 1987. Uncut since 2003 on DVD and Blu-ray. Summary Review: A Slasher Star is Born Camp counselors are stalked and murdered by an unknown assailant while trying to re-open a
summer camp that was the site of a child's drowning. Friday the 13th must be one of the biggest mysteries in cinema. Although it's a long way from being a good movie, its success and influence is unnameable.
The make-up effects by the master Tom Savini himself are excellent, but that alone isn't really enough to create a legendary horror movie. I'll never reckon the Friday the 13th films as good - or even decent -
efforts in the genre, but I'm always up for a little bit of brainless gore slashing. And that's what these series are made for...pure entertainment!!

- Annie has her throat cut. The 18 cert, version adds the white out before we get a good glimpse at the Tom Savini created FX.
- Kevin Bacon's girlfriend gets an axe in the skull: Once again this cuts away to
an early, imposed, whiteout. There is about a second more of gory detail. (see below)
- A birds eye view of Kevin Bacon with a spear exiting out of his throat has been censored (this is approx. 4 seconds long). The current
version shows us a side view of his death then jumps before we get the other angle.
- The decapitation of Mrs. Voorhees has been cut of one sequence involving her headless torso. The cut is quite obtrusive and the sequence
has been slightly re edited so that we cut back to Alice sooner than we should. The sound jumps too, so it's not hard to notice this cut.

been reported to me that the second cut in the list is restored on the 1995 release of the video from Warner Home Video |

Friday the 13th Part 2 is a 1981 US slasher by Steve Miner.
With Betsy Palmer, Amy Steel and John Furey.
Cut by 48s for an MPAA R rating. The same cut version has been used for all
UK and US release since. The 1983 UK VHS release was seized by the police during the video nasties moral panic. Gore scenes that were cut have been located but only on VHS quality. These have been presented as a disk extra but have not been reinserted
into the film. So for the moment the cut Theatrical is still the best available version. See the cut material in video from YouTube Summary Review:
Up There with the Original Mrs. Voorhees is dead, and Camp Crystal Lake is shut down, but a camp next to the infamous place is stalked by an unknown assailant. Is it Mrs. Voorhees' son Jason who didn't drown in the
lake some 30 years before? While most sequels cash in on their original movie's fame, the second part of the Friday the 13th series lives up to its name. The gore and the kill scenes surpass the original.
The characters are true teenage stereotypes. Much like the ending in the original, the ending here is great.

- Blood was cut from the death of Alice.
- Crazy Ralph's death was briefly reduced from the wire-cut.

the film destroyed (according to producers anyway).

Friday the 13th Part 3 is a 1982 US horror film by Steve Miner.
With Dana Kimmell, Tracie Savage and Richard Brooker.
Cut for an MPAA R Rating. This version was passed X for 1982 cinema
release but further cuts were required by the BBFC for 1987 18 rated VHS. The BBFC video cuts were waived for 2001 18 rated DVD and 2009 15 rated Blu-ray and are the same as cut US R rated releases. Summary Review: Anyone for Hockey?
Jason is back to revenge on all that visit his woods. A new group of friends come over to party at an area close to the campsite. This time, Jason will be stronger than ever, and getting a hockey mask from one
of those friends. This film has a decent story to it but it's still not much different from some of the others (bunch of people go to Camp Crystal Lake, they get killed one by one by god-knows-what type of sharp steel garden tool
or machete then one extremely exhausted, half naked, woman who is soaked in blood kills Jason...again!. But no matter how similar it is to the other films it's still a bloody great film.

- Friday the 13th Part 4
- Friday the 13th: Last Chapter
Friday the 13th The Final Chapter is a 1984 US horror film by Joseph Zito.
With Erich Anderson, Judie Aronson and Kimberly Beck.
Cut for an MPAA R rating. The BBFC made further cuts for VHS, but the UK
cinema release and DVDs are the R rated version. Summary Review: Saving the best for last, sort of After being mortally wounded and taken to the morgue, murderer Jason Voorhees spontaneously revives
and embarks on a killing spree as he makes his way back to his home at Crystal Lake. Immediately picking up where Friday the 13th Part 3 , Friday the 13th Part 4 was such a brilliant addition to the franchise. For
those who haven't seen the series, Part 4 is not a bad place to start, or finish. We get a great little campfire story and a lot of great death sequences within the first 5 minutes. We also get real acting, & actual character
development with the Final Chapter . This was the last movie in the series that was actually made AS a horror film, and not as a cult film. And this movie does scare!

See article from users.tpg.com.au :
- Nurse Rhonda was originally held up and gutted, but it ended up being cut out so that it only showed her being stabbed.
- A scene cut in which Tommy shows Rob a fake guillotine. Tommy puts a stick in the guillotine. It drops and the stick is
cut in two. Then, Tommy puts a fake arm in and cuts it off. Rob thinks its real and starts screaming. When Tommy starts laughing, Rob figures out that it is a joke.
- One scene in which Doug and Sarah are on the porch. They stand outside and talk
about not dancing.
- In another scene, Mrs. Jarvis goes into Trish's room and tells her to go get a car part in town and that she is going jogging before it storms.
- A small scene cut during the time in which the Jarvis' car breaks down.
In the original version, right after Trish tells Tommy to hurry up it cuts. It did continue with Tommy running up to Trish in a scary mask, scaring Trish. Tommy declares that he made the mask the first week that he got there.
- Sarah and Doug are
together in their room (before the party starts). They talk about how nice each others legs are and how nervous they are about going to the party.
- A scene where Tommy shows Rob a toy soldier melting under a magnifying glass.
- A scene
where Trish finds her mother drowned in a bathtub of bloody water.
The 2009 Paramount Deluxe Edition contains an extra alternate ending which includes the scene where Trish finds her mother drowned in a bathtub of bloody water. See
comparison of R rated Cut and an Unrated assembled version from YouTube. The unrated scenes are from DVD extras but seem good enough in quality to paste back into

- Friday the 13th: Part 5: A New Beginning
Friday the 13th A New Beginning i s a 1985 US slasher by Danny Steinmann.
With Melanie Kinnaman, John Shepherd and Shavar Ross.
Cut for an MPAA R rating. Further cut by the BBFC for cinema release,
further cut for VHS. BBFC cuts waived for DVD but still the cut US R rated version. Summary Review: Plenty more Jasons where that came form While Jason lies unconscious, a local man decides to use
Jason's old M.O. and wreaks havoc at a halfway house for troubled teens. Considered by fans as the worst of the Paramount Friday The 13th movies, this one isn't that bad as they said it was. The makers wanted to make the series
into something different with a new killer in each instalment. Fans of Jason rejected this idea and wanted the goalie back and they got their wish with the next instalment. There's a lot of graphic killings in this one as it has a
body count of 20 dead people with some good kills of skull-crushings, implements, stabbings and that kind of thing. A couple of sexy naked chicks including a topless blonde waitress who is just gorgeous as hell and of course some twists with turns.

Friday the 13th Part 7: The New Blood is a
1988 US slasher by John Buechler.
With Jennifer Banko, John Otrin and Susan Blu.
Cut for an MPAA R rating. Further cut by the BBFC for cinema and VHS. BBFC
cuts waived for DVD, but the MPAA cuts persist Summary Review: Power to Resist Years after Tommy Jarvis chained him underwater at Camp Crystal Lake, the hulking killer Jason Vorhees returns to the
camp grounds when he's released accidentally by a teenager with psychic powers. This is easily one of the better efforts in the Friday series but it suffers just like the rest of them from cuts, cuts, cuts. This is, apparently,
one of the most cut entries by far as the MPAA rejected many of the more elaborate gore effects. Director John Carl Buechler is a respected makeup effects man and was a good choice to helm a Friday flick. The New Blood's Jason is
a full-blown, rotting, hulking zombie and is well worth a watch. Well, once Tina raises Jason from the dead (involuntarily) the action gets under way. And he's quite busy, as this has easily one of the highest Friday body counts.
Our young vacationers are dispatched with a lovely array of sharp objects, gardening tools, and even a plastic party horn. Jason also repeats himself a bit by simply throwing one girl out the window, and crushing some poor sap's head. All of the murders
are edited down until there's little blood and gore.

US: Cut and MPAA R Rated for:
There's no sign of the US cuts being restored, so for the moment this is the best available version The New Blood was the most heavily cut movie by the MPAA, losing about four minutes to avoid an X Rating. It was considered the most violent of the
series. See article from ifmagazine.com : An
old VHS copy of Buechler's work print surfaced, and you get to see how much cooler this version would have been if the gore remained. The infamous sleeping bag scene goes on much longer, all the deaths have extra blood (including a killer head crush
scene) and there's even a deleted coda on a boat that should have been kept in. See article from
forum.dvdtalk.com. Director John Carl Buechler said: Dialogue within
scenes was cut. And certainly almost every single punch-line to every stalk and pay-off was trimmed considerably. I mean when you see the axe jump-cut into that lady's head, and when you see Jason smack that guy up the chin with the axe. I mean the shots
are just noticeably missing. I mean there were some cool shots we did. But not since Tom Savini's time have people been allowed to put stuff like that on screen. |

bound for New York pulls Jason along for the ride. Look out New York, here comes hell in a hockey mask. This is definitely not a defining film in the slasher genre, the plot is uninspired the locations are awful and the death
scenes are frankly poor. Unless your a Friday the 13th completist and want the whole set I wouldn't bother with this film

From IMDb. As described by the director on the DVD commentary, the following shots were cut or altered in order to receive an MPAA rating of "R" instead of an "X":
- Jim's death was much gorier. Originally, Jason shoves the entire spear gun through his stomach, then rips it out, causing Jim's intestines to slide out along with a large amount of blood.
- Suzy's death was disturbingly gruesome. Jason shoves
the spear through her stomach and twists it non-stop. There were close-up shots of Suzy's mouth gurgling blood and blood rapidly oozing from the spear wound. J.J.'s death was an alternate shot. In the original shot, we actually see Jason smashing J.J.'s
head with the guitar.
- Tamera's death in the original print was completely different. Originally, Jason repeatedly stabs her with a mirror shard in a shower while she's completely nude. Blood rapidly oozes from her stab wounds and Jason keeps
stabbing non-stop. Later on, when Eva finds Tamara's corpse, the original shot was one featuring Tamera's fully nude body with dozens of shards of glass protruding from it.
- The scene where the uncredited boxer gets the hot sauna rock shoved into
his chest cavity was a re-shoot. Originally, Jason jammed two darts through his eye sockets, but it was deemed too graphic, and the MPAA forced the crew to re-shoot it. Even with the re-shoot, the scene had to be trimmed. Originally, there was more blood
and steam, but the MPAA found even that to be too graphic.
- The scene where the captain gets his neck sliced by Jason's bowing knife was shot five different ways. The director's desire was a shot of a huge gash wound spurting blood, but the MPAA
made him choose the least gory shot, which is what appears in the final cut of the movie.
- Wayne's death originally featured him being electrocuted for a few seconds longer.
- The full version of Miles' death scene actually saw him land on
the spikes, rather than just showing the aftermath as we see in the "R" rated version.
- When Jason kills the first gang banger, the uncut print featured Jason's hand and the needle going all the way through the gang banger's body.
See also Interview with Rob Hedden from forum.dvdtalk.com
Yes, it [Tamara's death] was trimmed. It was a little more in the Psycho tradition. There was a lot more blood, a lot of Jason's arm slicing down upon her, shards of glass. It was
pretty gruesome. And that was the end of it. The scene was over the top as far as the MPAA was concerned. I went into it with more of a Hitchcockian style. And whenever any of us, do a shower scene, you gotta pay homage to Hitchcock. But this was in
color with real blood running down the drain. We went further with the scene as far as intensity, but the MPAA pulled us back. In filming her death, we didn't use any prosthetics. Originally, you see his arm slashing down, blood splatters the shower
wall, blood on her. It's all very Hitchcockian. It's much like the Psycho shower scene. It was pretty much the same as what was released, except there was much more of it, and there was some gore cut.
Just like in the beginning scene with Jim and
Suzy. And y'know, they have sex and Jason comes in, everything was trimmed. I mean, the kid getting shot with the spear. I had a lot more coverage of that. In that Jason takes the spear gun and not only jabs the spear into him, but the entire spear gun.
When Jason guts him, and pulls the gun out, his intestines were all over the gun. It was just, trimmed, trimmed, trimmed. There were a lot of frames cut out. And in the final version, it's just quick cuts. If you look at it, the scene looks like it was
edited.
The other thing was when Jason finds the girl in the hatch, and he reaches in and goes to stab her. That was very abbreviated in the final version. Before, it is really hard to watch, not for the fans but for most people out there. It's
kind of a torturous thing. He really tortures her. He doesn't just shove the spear in. He shoved it in, he twisted it around. There were close-ups of her face, her gurgling. Back to Jason, more twisting, close-ups of the spear twisting. It was pretty
intense and the MPAA said no. |

Summary Review: Eurocult The beautifully sensuous Dagmar Lassander stars as Maria, the living sex toy of Dr Sayer (Philippe Leroy) who delights in killing women at the point of orgasm. Sayer's prolonged campaign of
degradation pushes Maria right to the edge of death. The Frightened Woman is a curious piece of Eurocult, much along the same lines as the films that Jess Franco was churning out around the same time. The film very much captures
the feel of late sixties to early seventies European cinema and the atmosphere is definitely the film's best asset. Naturally, the entire film is really rather pointless; and while The Frightened Woman isn't exactly a thrill ride,
there's still some interest. The acting is typically trashy, although the leads; Philippe Leroy and Dagmar Lassander give decent leading performances. Overall, if you're a fan of trashy Jess Franco stuff, you might
just like this too. |

- 1997 cinema release
The BBFC cuts were:
- Two shots are missing of the bloodied body of the dead mother
- Cuts to Jeffery Coombs' head explosion:
In the chapter, "Dammers loses his head", when Dammers (Jeffrey Combs) is shot his head explodes leaving his ghostly face in the middle with a confused expression,and separate gory parts of his head hanging around
him. On the NTSC disc this is complete and is then followed by Michael J. Fox falling backwards through the floorboards. In the UK version, as Dammers head starts to explode the picture cuts to Fox beginning to fall
backwards. Then it cuts back to Dammers looking confused with the parts of his head hanging around him, before going back to Fox, so you lose the force of the explosion. |

- Once Upon a Frightmare
Frightmare is a 1974 UK horror by Pete Walker.
With Rupert Davies, Sheila Keith and Deborah Fairfax.
The BBFC cut the 1974 cinema release. Uncut on home video in the US and UK
Summary Notes Edmund and Dorothy Yates are freed after fifteen years in an asylum. Edmund covers up for his wife who is a murderer and a cannibal and Dorothy's daughter Debbie and stepdaughter
Jackie, who live apart from them, may or may not have inherited her appetites. Dorothy has started to kill again... This is an impressive downbeat British horror from the Pete Walker / David McGillivray
partnership which, despite its gory reputation, works on more of a psychological level.
From the grainy black & white prologue, with a pre-Fawlty Towers Andrew Sachs visiting a deserted fairground, to the terrifying climax in a farm attic,
Frightmare holds itself together incredibly well.
Frightmare really delivers the goods though and should be in everyone's list of Top Cult Horror Films.

film had suffered 1:05s of MPAA cuts:
- The scene that upset the MPAA the most—and as I describe it, it is truly disgusting—is when Jeffrey Combs' character's pineal gland has gone out of control and he's hungry for brains. He attacks a psychiatrist, played by my
wife [Carolyn Purdy-Gordon], and he plants his mouth onto her eye socket and starts sucking. And the material that was cut out was when he actually sucks her eyeball out, spits it onto the floor and the eyeball lands looking back up at him and he
continues to suck her brains through the eye socket and the camera pushes in. It's really disturbing and it's the longest restored piece; my guess is it's about 30 seconds or so. I think it's the most horrific moment in the whole movie.

- Klebb's death has been shorted, reducing the sight of her protracted suffering, and her death cries have been partially muted on the soundtrack
- Bond's remark to Tania of What a performance has been cut at the very end of the film, resulting in a particularly bad jump-cut on the print, which affects the soundtrack particularly badly

Frozen Scream is a 1975 US video by Frank Roach.
With Renee Harmon, Lynne Kocol and Wolf Muser.
Banned as a video nasty in 1984. Not released in the UK since. US uncut and MPAA R rated in the US. There are few international releases too. Summary Review: For bad movie fans A
pretty lame horror flick about a scientist's attempts to make people immortal. This is a bad movie, featuring several funny parts. I particularly liked the scene of two women in the hospital talking, when out of nowhere the policeman narrator's voice is
dubbed over the conversation. It's just sloppily put together.
After watching it again. I now value Frozen Scream. Some stretches of boredom, but more amusement than I had originally thought. Don't go too far out of your way to see it, but bad
movie fans should find something of interest here. Versions

The uncut region 1 DVD is available

Amazon : Nastiest family squabble A Takashi Miike is
always worth looking out for, and this one was highly anticipated. It's one of his earlier Yakuza movies, but still very Miike in approach.
Riki (Shosuke Tanihara) is the smartest, best-looking kid in his high school. He also runs the place with
the aid of his own gang comprised of fellow students. With the aid of eight-year-old hit men and schoolgirl strippers and assassins, it looks like Riki could have his revenge on the 10th anniversary of his brother's death.
Shock value and native
Japanese weirdness aside, this is a great movie. It looks great. Whatever the content, each shot is carefully composed and the action is often so manic it can be had to keep up with. As unemotional as the Japanese can be,
"Fudoh" turns into the nastiest family squabble since "Medea". Just when you think the film can't get any weirder, it's just getting started. Murders are often accompanied by rivers of blood. The scenes in the children's assassin
training camp are hysterical. I lost count on the number of decapitations. |

- During a confrontation between the hero and two men with long knives

Thanks to Mark: The Mei Ah DVD is in fact the uncut version as rumoured. A number of instances of strong violence - such as stabbings, bullet impacts, blood spurts - have been restored for the DVD. The sleeve
claims that the film is Cat-II, but that rating applies to the censored cinema version, and not the DVD. There was a gory scene pre-cut by the distributors who felt that director Lam had gone too far with the ketchup: it
apparently showed Simon Yam sucking on an eyeball that Anthony Wong has cut out from a victim's socket! I don't believe this footage has ever been seen, so isn't really applicable when talking about an 'uncut' version. As it stands, the Mei Ah is as
uncut as we're going to get. Amazon Review Full Contact release on DVD was long overdue, and now, in this finely presented package, it has been worth the wait. By far one of the most brutal Hong Kong
Gangster movies. Whilst the gun battles are not quite on a par with John Woo's, as they lack both the scale and the choreography, Ringo Lam ensures that he makes up for it in style. Using the bullets eye view twice in the film,
Lam delivers an intensity to his film making that has little comparison elsewhere. With eye catching cinematography, an awesome soundtrack than really delivers the goods, and one of Chow Yun Fat's greatest performances, this is a truly must have film.
Special credit must go to Simon Yam who totally steals the show with his sadistic villian Judge. Not even Dennis Hopper's character in Blue Velvet can hold a candle to the sinister, homosexual psychopath that is portrayed here. Their rivalry is
given an almost homoerotic overtone as Judge expresses his underlying desire for Jeff.
With superb picture quality, an unforgettable film, and a great variety of extras within a finely presented package, this DVD is true value for money.

The Funhouse is a 1981 US horror by Tobe Hooper

Uncut for an X rated 1981 cinema release. Bizarrely banned as a video nasty

a carnival funhouse and are stalked by a deformed man in a Frankenstein mask. This is an effectively underrated slasher entry. One of it's most impressive feats is that it gives us a nice carnival atmosphere with some interesting
sights. The setting is the best thing about this, as great pains is taken to turn the early part into setup, and this does create a great atmosphere for later on in the film. This little gem has minimum bloodletting but its good, its
better than good. It has a genuine sense of dread and a fear and paradoxically, an understanding of human vulnerability and mutation.

US Amazon : Great 'Bad' Movie Except the 2 actors from
Texas Chainsaw Massacre this movie stars people that look like your next door neighbors (from the 80's). Some preppy-new waver-Frats are initiating all night in the worst part of town when they piss off an armored clad
killer-psycho with throwing stars and claws in charge of a gang of anti-nuke-grunge-new wavers. I liked it a lot because once the action starts it doesn't stop also there are some decent punk rock tunes and
impressive gore scenes. The bad acting, 80's attire, and goofy dialog only add to the fun. |
