Theatre of Blood is a 1973 UK comedy horror by Douglas Hickox.
With Vincent Price, Diana Rigg and Ian Hendry.
Cut by the BBFC for 1972 cinema release. Uncut in on home video. Uncut in the US
Summary Notes A Shakespearean actor takes poetic revenge on the critics who denied him recognition. As incredibly good as this movie is, one must give pause before attempting to review it;
after all, Vincent Price plays an actor who murders the critics who panned his performances and cost him the acting award he felt he deserved. I find it something of a relief to have nothing at all negative to say about this unusual, almost brilliant
movie.

They Might Be Giants is a 1971 USA comedy romance by Anthony Harvey.
Starring George C Scott, Joanne Woodward and Jack Gilford.
Widely released in a shortened version but there is a full length
version released in the US.
Summary Notes They Might be Giants chronicles the adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in modern-day New York City. The fact that Sherlock
Holmes is a psychotic paranoid and Dr. Watson is a female psychiatrist fascinated by his case is almost beside the point. Dr. Watson follows Holmes across Manhattan and is, against her better judgment, drawn into the master detective's world of intrigue
and danger. This is a sweet, goofy and fairly romantic film that asks the questions "Whose reality is right...and does it really matter?"

Amazon UK '30 Days of Night' is the movie based on the best selling
graphic novel by Steve Niles. The story begins when a group of vampires flock to Barrow, Alaska where the sun sets for 30 days, allowing them to feed without the burden of sleep to avoid lethal sunlight. Because of the cold, the vampires' senses are
weakened and a few of the town's residents are able to hide. One resident is Sheriff Eben Olemaun (Josh Hartnett), who attempts to save the town and the lives of the few remaining townspeople, including his wife Stella (Melissa George).
This was
probably the film that I was most looking forward to in 2007 and when I finally got to see it, I wasn't disappointed at all. At the time when I first watched this film I hadn't read any of the comics, so the story was new to me, but I enjoyed it all the
same. I've read the comic since seeing this and the film version has a lot more added to it, which I feel was definitely necessary as only the beginning and the end are featured in the original. There's plenty of gore, a great storyline, good characters,
lots of scares and some excellent camerawork. The setting of Barrow feels very isolated and creepy and very, very atmospheric. The vampires have twisted, ugly faces and make eerie, high pitched wails to each other and speak in their own language, taking
the sexy, seductive image away from the over-used and tired character.
Overall this is without a doubt one the best films of 2007 and is definitely the best vampire film I have ever seen. | | uncut
| | | Passed 15 uncut for cinema in 2007 with the following explanation:
30 DAYS OF NIGHTS is a horror thriller set in a remote town in Alaska. As the long Arctic winter is about to begin the town receives some unwelcome visitors. The film was passed '15' for strong, bloody, horror violence and language.
The BBFC's Guidelines at '15' state that violence may be strong, but may not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury. Strong threat and menace are permitted, but the strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable. The violence in this film
is certainly strong and gory, but the sequences are invariably brief and the fantasy nature of the work is a moderating factor. The BBFC's Guidelines at '15' also allow for the frequent use of strong language and this film includes the use of a moderate
number of strong expletives.
30 DAYS OF NIGHT also contains a couple of innocuous drug references and very mild verbal sex references. |

Starring Malcolm McDowell, Elizabeth Daily and Meg Foster.
Originally given an MPAA NC-17 rating but was then cut for an R rated Theatrical release. The Unrated Version was promised for home video but instead, the first home video releases feature the cut theatrical version.
Summary Notes 31 tells the story of five carnies in 1976 kidnapped on the morning of Halloween and held hostage in a remote industrial Hell. While trapped, they are forced to play a violent game called 31. The mission
is to survive 12 hours against an endless gang of grease-painted maniacs.

| US: The original submission to the MPAA was NC-17 rated for sadistic graphic violence, bizarre sexuality/nudity, pervasive disturbing images and some strong language. Director Rob
Zombie is running afoul of national ratings body, the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), who, after reviewing two cuts of his latest movie 31 , refuse to give it anything lower than an NC-17 rating. Zombie commented:
Well, after two tries through the MPAA, our rating on 31 remains NC-17. Maybe three is the charm to get an R rating. Why R, you ask? Well, because your local theater will not show an NC-17. Even though you are a fucking adults...
things much be censored for your enjoyment. Rod Zombie later confirmed that the uncut version will be used for the home video release but noted that he does not think the film suffers at all as a results of the cuts. However Zombie
was wrong, the first home video release featured only the cut theatrical version. |

This Is My Street is a 1964 UK drama by Sidney Hayers.
With Ian Hendry, June
Ritchie and Avice Landone.
Cut by the BBFC for 1963 cinema release. The cuts presumably persisted into 2014 DVD Promotional Material Ian Hendry, June Ritchie, John Hurt and future
Randall and Hopkirk stars Annette Andre and Mike Pratt feature among an outstanding cast in this mid-sixties realist drama from noted director Sidney Hayers. This Is My Street is presented here in a brand-new transfer from the
original film elements in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.
Jubilee Close, a drab street of decaying houses in London's Battersea, is home to a cross-section of working-class families. Yearning to escape from this depressing
environment is the pretty, ambitious Margery Graham; the victim of an enforced marriage, she is tied to a lazy, boorish husband and young daughter, Cindy. Margery lives next door to her widowed mother who, in order to make ends meet, has taken in a
lodger, Harry - a slick, unscrupulous salesman with a roving eye and a more-than-neighbourly interest in Margery... Versions

The Unrated Version will feature an additional 7:22s minutes of material. A comparison of the two versions identifies the Director's Cut as a bluff package. The only sexual content is a harmless intro in a James Bond style. The
most of the additional running time consists of an uncontroversial fake family scene . 'Fuck' can be heard twice in this scene. However, it is doubtful that this was the reason it was removed from the movie. More likely it was because the
scenes slows down the movie, which is already losing speed at that point.. |

Paris cabaret, and the possibility of including it in a Director's Cut Yeah, I think there will be some [deleted footage]. We shot that one scene in the Crazy Horse, which is a very famous cabaret that's visited by women
as much as men. It's not vulgar, at all. It's beautiful. It's like Cirque du Soleil. So, I tested the movie with a longer version of these women doing what I thought was this very, very beautiful dance, and American women were not really into it. I was
saddened because I wasn't like, Ooh, look at the nudity. I just thought it was beautiful. It was like looking at a painting. These women are from the Bolshoi. So, the director's cut will be more involved, and it will speak to this ethereal,
otherworldly quality of the Vivi character.

pursue the ultimate sexual pleasure as time allows. Wei Yangsheng encounters Tie Fei the Taoist priest's daughter, Tie Yuxiang, on an occasion. With the former's talent and the latter's beauty, they fall in love at first sight, and Wei Yangsheng is later
married into the Tie's family. Yuxiang is elegant and courteous under the influence of her father's faith, though her lack of passion cannot fully satisfy Wei Yangsheng's sexual needs. His disappointment is no less than his affection for her.

The Director's Cut contains extensions in graphic violence & sex scenes. It also extensively changes and expands the plot. The Director's Cut is the way better version. It's obvious that this is the originally planned version of
3-D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy. Where the Theatrical Version seems to be bumpy here and there the DC fills in the blanks and contains more laughs, more visual appealing & the smoother plot. See article from twitchfilm.com
: The Director's Cut includes some rather extreme content which was excised because test audiences and the Hong Kong censorship thought it was too gross. This includes the Yangsheng character squeezing some lactating
lady's breasts during an orgy, causing milk to fountain out and cover the entire group. Also, the sequence where the Prince of Ning accidentally fucks a concubine to death during rough sex is a lot longer.

| UK: The Theatrical Version was passed 18 for strong sex, violence, nudity and sexual violence after 2:48s of BBFC cuts for:
- 2012 Metrodome R2 DVD
- 2011 cinema release
The BBFC commented:
- Compulsory cuts were required to two scenes of sexual and sexualised violence, which included elements with a tendency to eroticise and endorse sexual violence.
The BBFC further explained (ignoring a rather redundant explanation that the film goes beyond a 15 rating): 3D SEX AND ZEN EXTREME ECSTASY is a Chinese erotic period drama about a recently married young man who
embarks on a sexual odyssey when his wife is unable to satisfy his sexual desires. The film was classified 18 for strong sex, violence, nudity and sexual violence. There are frequent sequences of strong sex and
nudity which include sight of a man sucking a woman's nipples, pubic nudity in a sexual context, sight of a man's erect penis, buttock thrusting implying penetration, and implied but masked fellatio and cunnilingus. Before
the film was classified 18 , the BBFC required cuts in two scenes.
- In the first scene, a man rapes a woman, with the woman then going on to enjoy the sex. The scene is shot in the same eroticised style as the rest of the film and creates the impression that rape can be an enjoyable and exciting
erotic experience. The scene was cut to remove the non consensual set up, leaving a purely consensual sex scene.
- In the second scene, a man engages in violent sex with a woman. Although the sex is consensual, the man
beats and whips the woman during sex, before finally suffocating her to death as he thrusts into her. The scene, which is filmed in the same eroticised style as other scenes, creates a strong link between violence and sexual arousal. Although the BBFC
suggested that the scene could be reduced to an acceptable level by multiple cuts, the distributor chose to remove the scene in its entirety.
Both scenes breach the terms of the Guidelines at 18 which state the BBFC may cut any portrayals of sexual or sexualised violence which might, for example, eroticise or endorse sexual assault .

Thanks to a reader that reports that maybe an uncut version was released in the UK: I'm not sure this is true? We know that Sony/Universal sometimes used the wrong masters for the DVD's in the early days (True Lies?),
and this might have happened with this film. There is a point in the film where it is clear that the grandfather character says Your mom sounds pissed, and this is even shown in the subtitles. I just find it difficult to

client. Frigga saves her money and pays for lessons in martial arts, before taking her revenge on those cruel customers and her pimp. As the title suggests this is one viciously bleak film. From the barren wind swept
Swedish landscape and eerie electric score to the hard core sex scenes and eye gouge scene which was created using a real cadaver, Thriller is a truly potent cult shocker. Lindberg is a truly striking and
unforgettable cult figure, carrying a shotgun and dressed all in black she is enigmatic and certainly makes shameless plagiarizer Tarantino's work look pale by comparison. Controversy Thanks to Neil and Ben
and See article from grindhousedatabase.com A long standing rumor surrounding the film was that a real
corpse was used for the scene where Madeleine's eye is taken out with a scalpel. In a March 2006 interview, Christina Lindberg confirmed this. The body was of a young girl who had committed suicide. Makeup was added to the eye, and the shot was filmed in
the hospital that had received the body.

See article from bbfc.co.uk : In April 1965 Eon
Productions sent a shooting script of Thunderball to the BBFC for advice on how the finished film might be considered for classification. The
letter published here [pdf] details the BBFC's lengthy response to the script. Mindful that an X certificate would not be consistent with
the previous three Bond films, the letter specifies over thirty aspects of the script that could be problematic for an A certificate. John Trevelyan sums up the general concern of the BBFC when he explains: I get the
impression that this screenplay has been deliberately hotted up with a view to its including more sex, sadism and violence than the previous Bond pictures, and… it seems less light-hearted in tone.
In the end only one cut for an A was
required – the sight of Bond stroking the back of a partially nude girl with a mink glove. |

Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! is a 1989 Spain crime comedy romance by Pedro Almodóvar.
Starring Victoria Abril, Antonio Banderas and Loles León.
Uncut by film censors, but has a place in censorship history. See
article from
cinemaretro.com : When it came to releasing Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! in the U.S. in 1990, Almodovar was met with some resistance from the MPAA
ratings board. The dreaded X rating was threatened, forcing Miramax, the film's distributor, to sue. The film was eventually released unrated ; however, it was this lawsuit that prompted the MPAA to change the stigmatized X to the more
consumer-friendly NC-17. Ironically, the NC-17 rating wasn't an improvement. The stigma remained and the media in many areas of the country continued the policy of refusing to advertise NC-17-rated movies.)

Summary
Notes Danzig in the 1920s/1930s. Oskar Matzerath, son of a local dealer, is a most unusual boy. Equipped with full intellect right from his birth he decides at his third birthday not to grow up as he sees the crazy
world around him at the eve of World War II. So he refuses the society and his tin drum symbolizes his protest against the middle-class mentality of his family and neighborhood, which stand for all passive people in Nazi Germany at that time. However,
(almost) nobody listens to him, so the catastrophe goes on...

masking tape at this point. The offending shot simply shows a young boy pressing his face against a woman's pubic region (not actually her vagina). It is a serious film with little else to comfort paedophiles and expert views agreed
that the scene was no more indecent (or vulnerable to misuse) than some of the other scenes in the film, such as the sherbert licking. |

operate a second-run movie theater. Martha is deaf and mute and if she is unable to scream, extreme fear should make the creature, which Chapin has called the Tingler, come to life and grow. Using LSD to induce nightmares, he begins his experiment.

Distributors) Cut by the BBFC when submitted in 2004 with the following statement: Cuts required to remove sight of abusive knife play during sexual activity. Company also chose to cut explicit images of oral-genital contact,
dildo penetration, masturbation and penetration with finger for 18. The sexual detail, though not the knife play, could have been passed R18. The context in which explicit imagery occurs is a key factor in the BBFC's
decisions. But every work is different and it is not possible to list the sort of situations which justify real sex at '18'. Images of real sex were cut from a collection of erotic short films, Tinto Brass Presents – 4, to obtain an '18', on the grounds
that the work was too close in tone and intent to a sex work designed to produce sexual arousal. |
