Passed 15 uncut for:

The BBFC commented:

15 violence guidelines state that Violence may be strong but should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury and this scene contains a number of scenes that fit this rubric but exceed the '12/12A guidelines which state that Moderate violence is allowed but should not dwell on detail. There should be no emphasis on injuries or blood... as scenes showing the hero delivering two realistic headbutts to his opponents, a defenceless woman being beaten with a metal chain, a prolonged scene showing a man being throttled to death, a man repeatedly beating a woman with a rock, a man killed by being run headfirst into a giant rock and lengthy close-up sight of a dead woman lying on the ground with her throat cut which did not feature in the 12A theatrical version were not permissible at 12A but were allowable at 15 as they did not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury and many of the blows were masked offscreen

A young woman is trained by a martial arts specialist to become a professional assassin. She's subsequently recruited by the real killer, a hit woman who targets rapists at large and practices on drooling sex-mad psychos chained up in the attic. When they finally head out for the real thing, they take out victims in a display of midair somersaults, cracking whips, flying ropes, and flashing guns.

Great sex 'n' violence-comic strip from Hong Kong! Highly Recommended!

Summary Review: Rape, murder and dismemberment
Not really a sequel of Naked Killer 1.

The only redeeming quality of this DVD is that the women in it are fabulous although we don't get to see much of them ... I mean you see more flesh on some of the late night networks ...

Thanks to Bleach on the Melon Farmers Forum :

These account for what the BBFC removed, not what was pre-cut:

  • At 7 mins - During dirty phone call received at women's party, after woman asks "Why not now, I'm hot right now?", the rapist's lines (and subtitles) expressing plans to tie woman up and rape her were removed, resuming on man saying "One day we'll do this for real, Yau Yak Nam."
  • At 15 mins - Bed scene in which rapist turns woman over and then invites second man into bed to share her was reduced, cutting away as second man touches her back and she looks round. All sight of second man entering bed and raping her whilst first man records this on video was also removed, resuming on blue sky through window.
  • At 28 mins - As ex-girlfriend makes stand against gangster and older woman says "How dare you make a scene here!", her further comment (and subtitles) "Get me a knife and I'll cut off her tits", together with man's instruction "Bring a knife" were removed, a reaction shot of woman on floor was inserted to avoid jump cut, and resuming on older woman continuing "I can't stand this stupid bitch".
  • At 38 mins -In woman's flat, sexual assault was reduced to establishment only, as follows:
(i) after victim is thrown into bath and man looks down at her, remove shot of him smiling and saying "Good idea, let's have a bath", resuming on frightened woman in bath;
(ii) then, after woman starts to lift herself out of bath, cut away to remove prolonged scene in which she struggles and protests as she is terrorised, pursued, assaulted and finally raped in kitchen, resuming on new scene on boat panning up from man's bare feet.
  • At 43 mins - After happy couple disappear under duvet, sadistic focus on raped woman's terror was reduced by removing all sight of her bound and gagged in chair, resuming on rapist raising video camera to photograph bound victim.
  • At 69 mins - Scene of rapist peeping on his female neighbour was considerably reduced by removing the following -
(i) prolonged sexy dancing, sight of woman undressing and repeated shots of man peeping through hole;
(ii) CU of woman stroking her leg up towards crotch, resuming on woman in sexy underwear dancing in hallway.
  • At 70 mins - At end of 'peeping tom' sequence, after boyfriend says "I'd wank myself to death", entire scene depicting rapist hanging upside down, masturbating and saying aloud "I will fuck you" was removed, resuming on scene in bar.
  • At 78 mins - During final, prolonged fight between woman and rapist
    dressed in clown suit, the sadistic power of the violence was reduced by removing the following -
(i) sight of woman kicked in throat and falling back onto glass coffee table, breaking it;
(ii) woman having her hair pulled viciously, then kicked between her legs from rear as she crawls away;
(iii) woman being dragged by hair up outdoor steps in rain, then splayed out and pinned down against kitchen counter;
(iv) CU of man groping woman's bare breasts as lightning flashes in background.

Banned by the BBFC for 1964 cinema release. Later passed 18 uncut for VHS and DVD. Uncut and MPAA Unrated in the US.
Summary Notes : A shocker in its day

Kelly, a prostitute, traumatised by an experience, referred to as 'The Naked Kiss,' by psychiatrists, leaves her past, and finds solace in the town of Grantville. She meets Griff, the police captain of the town, with whom she spends a romantic afternoon. Kelly finds a job as a nurse in a hospital for handicapped children. The work helps her find her sensitive side in the caring and helping of her young patients. Kelly's path towards happiness is thrown amiss, when she witnesses a shocking event, which threatens not just her happiness, but her mental health as well.

In its day, The Naked Kiss was quite the shocker. It dealt with (or hinted at) such then-taboo subjects as prostitution, abortion and even pedophilia in bold ways that were foreign to American film audiences. Unfortunately, like many once-controversial movies, the handling of these topics are now so dated that, at times, they are almost laughable.

BBFC category cuts were required for PG rated cinema and VHS releases. It was released uncut on UK Blu-ray in 2003 bearing a 12 rating, seemingly without being resubmitted to the BBFC. The uncut version was eventually passed 12 uncut for video in 2014, presumably belatedly in retrospect of the previous releases. As of 2020, all UK DVD releases still feature the cut UK version. It was later passed 12A Uncut for 2020 cinema release. Uncut and MPAA PG-13 rated in the US.

  • 2014 cinema release titled Nativity 3: Dude Where's My Donkey?!

The BBFC commented in the 2014 Annual Report:

The distributor sought classification advice from the BBFC in two stages before submitting it formally.

An early version of the film contained a single use of ass , in the context of a donkey shaking its rear and we advised the distributor that this use would be acceptable as 'very mild bad language' at U.

A later version of the film contained repeated uses of shake that ass in song lyrics, and without the contextual justification of the earlier use, we informed the company it was likely to be passed PG.

When the final version of the film was submitted for formal classification, the company had chosen to replace all uses of the word ass in the song lyrics with 'thing'.

Both versions of the film also contained the phrase elf off , said by an elf, during an elf-style ghetto slang scene. Since this word play takes a euphemistic form, rather than a direct replacement for strong language, it was acceptable within the context of the wider film at the U category.

Natural Born Killers is a 1994 USA crime drama by Oliver Stone.
Starring Woody Harrelson, Juliette Lewis and Tom Sizemore. Melon Farmers link BBFC link 2020 IMDb

The UK VHS version includes some of the violence from the Director's Cut as James Ferman wanted Mickey to be less agreeable. This was in the hope of deflecting the controversy that the heroic couple Mickey And Mallory were accused of inspiring copy cat crime by sensationalist newspapers. Even so the cinema release was delayed by the BBFC whilst checking out these false claims, and was again delayed by Warners for VHS release after initially coinciding with the Dunblane killings. The Director's Cut was passed 18 uncut in 2002. In the US the cut Theatrical Version is MPAA R rated and the Director's Cut is MPAA Unrated.

Summary Notes

The misadventures of Mickey and Mallory: outcasts, lovers, and serial killers. They travel across Route 666 conducting psychadelic mass-slaughters not for money, not for revenge, just for kicks. Glorified by the media, the pair become legendary folk heroes; their story told by the single person they leave alive at the scene of each of their slaughters.

  2. The death of Mallory's father is slightly extended with more graphic footage;
  3. Mickey is briefly seen raping the bound hostage in the motel room;
  4. When Mickey and Mallory run out of gas in the desert they start to argue; Mallory points a gun at Mickey and forces him to remove his trousers. He's chased by a ram escaped from the herd of the indian shaman. Mickey and Mallory ask him for help and follow him home;
  5. Jack Scagnetti's murder of the prostitute is longer and more explicit.
  6. After Mickey and Mallory have killed the indian and have been bitten by the rattlesnake, we see Scagnetti dumping the body of the prostitute near a railway; the camera pulls back to reveal a nearby drive-in theater where Mickey and Mallory are watching the film and talking;
  7. The clerk at the Drug Zone pharmacy is watching a program on Mickey and Mallory on TV that features a dramatized massacre in an indian jewelry and craft store;
  8. The beating of Mickey and Mallory after he's surrendered outside the Drug Zone is longer and more violent (the scene is shot mimicking the Rodney King videotape);
  9. The scene where psychiatrist Dr. Rheingold (Steven Wright) is interviewed by Wayne Gale is longer and features additional dialogue;
  10. A new scenes features Denis Leary as a prison inmate walking up and down his cell while delivering a frenzied and funny monologue about Mickey and Mallory.
  11. The prison riot sequences are longer and include additional scenes showing a cop being shoved into a washing machine and killed, a con's head boiled in a large pot, another cop dragged on a table and shoved into an oven, a cop thrown and hanged from a balcony and cons cutting other cons' throats in the prison's barber shop.
  12. After hitting the guard (Vince Pruitt Taylor) in the face with the butt of a shotgun, Mickey convinces him to bring him to Mallory's cell by breaking his fingers;
  13. Jack Scagnetti's agony after being stabbed in the throat by Mallory is longer;

  15. After Mallory has shot Wayne Gale's hand, there are a few frames showing the warden and the guards seen through the bleeding hole;
  16. After Mickey and Mallory have killed Wayne Gale, the movie continues with a new ending showing them riding on a van with Owen (Arliss Howard), the prisoner that helped them escape. Owen insists that Mickey and Mallory take him with them but they refuse; after Owen asks Mickey to let Mallory have sex with him, the couple decides to throw him out of the van, but he pulls a shotgun and kills Mickey. The last frame shows Owen taking aim at Mallory.

The Director's cut also include the following extra scenes that were not included in the film. Oliver Stone's decision.

  • There's a lengthy courtroom sequence showing part of Mickey and Mallory's trial; the prosecutor Wanda Bisbing (Rachel Ticotin) is interviewed by Wayne Gale and then we see witness Grace Mulberry (Ashley Judd) being cross examined byMickey. The murder of Grace's brother is shown, then Mickey stabs and kills Grace with a pencil on the witness stand.
  • Wayne Gale interviews the Hun Brothers, two body builders who have had their legs sawn off by Mickey and Mallory. A flashback reveals that the brothers have been spared by Mickey and Mallory because they've been recognized as great admirers of their work;

I had an interesting report from a Melon Farmers reader:

I was fortunate to see a test screening of NBK at Universal Studios. There was a part of the motel rape scene removed from the final cut, this involved, Mickey approaching the bound & gagged hostage, he starts to dance in front of her, then taking his knife he cuts off her knickers, and then pursues to rape while her hands are still tied behind her back, (this scene continues to bombard your mind and becomes more and more unbearable to watch) and then finally he then puts his mouth against hers, and rips her tongue out while still raping her (ala Midnight Express!).

Why this was not added on to the supplementary section of the Box-Set release I don't know. I believed the scene was important in that it showed the sickness, ruthlessness and disturbing side to all serial killers and more importantly to our character 'Mickey'. Without this scene Mickey to me just did not seem disturbing enough! even with all the cuts restored. I asked John Venzon (assist. editor) why the scene was omitted, in reply he said 'it detracted your attention away from Mickey, and was deemed to excessive', fair comment!

Summary Review: Better than Salon Kitty

This is a Nazi sexploitation flick and it has not only plenty of nudity but explicit, hardcore pornographic shots as well.

That said, let me point out why this is a far better film than Salon Kitty . The two films are different versions of what is essentially the same story: a young Jewish woman during the Nazis' reign is sexually abused and exploited by the Reich eventually becoming the madame of a brothel that caters to Nazi officers where she spies for either the Nazi higher ups or the Resistance depending on which film you watch.

Nazi Love Camp 27 has budget sets and costumes, bad dubbing, and obligatory sexploitation scenes like whippings, the lesbian warden and several hardcore penetration shots including a gang rape. One would think that this was a thinly-veiled excuse for a porno, and to some extent it is, but it actually has a fairly coherent plot and you truly DO care about the lead character and even others. Yes, the final scene is a bit over the top, but you're still interested in what is happening right up to the end of the film --- not just fast forwarding to the next naked part.

Sirpa Lane's performance is strong and due to whatever quirk of talent or fate, she manages to convey the horror and the poignancy of her character's struggles. This is not to say that this is a great film, again know what you're getting into.
