v Cockfighter
- 1974 USA drama by Monte Hellman.
- Born to Kill
- Gamblin' Man
- Wild Drifter
Cockfighter is a 1974 USA drama by Monte Hellman. Starring Warren Oates, Richard B Shull and Harry Dean Stanton.
The film was denied a screening at the 2006 Edinburgh Film
Festival after advice from the BBFC who stated that UK Law does not allow public performance of films with real animal cruelty staged for the film. The film has never been submitted to the BBFC but they have commented about
the film as follows: The film COCKFIGHTER, as its title would indicate, contains several scenes of cock fighting in which birds are goaded to fury in order to fight each other. These sequences are unsimulated and were expressly
created for the purposes of the film. As a result, this work would be in breach of the Animals Act. Summary Review Frank Mansfield has wanted to win the Cockfighter of the Year medal for
ages. Frank never speaks. After shooting his mouth off one too many times then losing a champion rooster in a casual hotel room cockfight, he swore never to speak again until he's won that award... He makes a bet with old crony Jack to be settled at the
upcoming meet. Frank puts his car and his trailer on the line; he loses. Jack gets the trailer, and Frank's part-time girlfriend who goes with it. Frank's long-time girlfriend Mary Elizabeth wants him to get serious and settle down. But Frank has to
raise some money for a new cock - $500 - then he can form a partnership with fellow cocksman Omar Baradansky and make another try for that medal... Warren Oates plays Frank Mansfield in 1974's Cockfighter .
Although outlawed in most states, cockfighting was legal in Georgia, and Oates portrays a top trainer. However, Mansfield is also a deeply flawed man whose success leads him to recklessness. On the night before a major fight, he impetuously enters a
cockfight that ends badly. At that moment, he takes a vow of silence, which he will not break until he can regain his position in the sport. Throughout most of the movie, therefore, Oates is mute, with his thoughts serving as narration.
Warren
Oates is truly great in this role. His weathered face and ability to portray unsympathetic characters in a likeable manner bring great authority to this film. Despite being a solid character study, the film is
probably of limited appeal. For the most part, the sport of cockfighting (if you consider it a sport) serves only as the background, and the characters drive the film. However, the sport is presented in an unflinching manner. The bloody and violent
aspects of cockfighting are not glossed over in any way. Thus, this film is definitely not for people who are squeamish or extremely passionate about humane treatment of animals. If you can set aside your
distaste for the topic matter, then you will be treated to some great acting and directing and a truly unique cinematic experience.

v Coffy

Coffy is a 1973 USA action crime thriller by Jack Hill. With Pam Grier, Booker Bradshaw and Robert DoQui.
Initially banned by the BBFC for 1973 cinema release. Resubmitted with cuts
and then further cut by the BBFC for 1974 cinema release. Passed 18 uncut in 1988. Uncut in the US Summary Review : Blaxploitation classic! Coffy is a nurse whose younger sister
gets involved in drugs and is severely injured by contaminated heroin. Coffy sets out on a mission of vengeance and vigilante justice, killing drug dealers, pimps, and mobsters who cross her path. Maxim magazine lists Coffy
as number 7 on its list of the 50 best B-movies of all time, and there can clearly be no mistake about its status as a B-movie. Pam Grier shines in this hilarious action-packed blaxploitation flick where she first got her name as a 'black pin-up queen'
during the early 70's. This brilliant film mixes comedy right in there with the action. From the campy catfight scenes when Coffy dumps a salad bowl onto a blonde girl's head, to when King George makes his first appearance and steps
out of his car in his pimp outfit, complete right down to the feather in his hat! The action is fairly consistent. There are a lot of guns firing off and endless catfights.

A masked killer stalks an institution for mentally disturbed rich women. This film is not on the level of gialli directed by Mario Bava, Lucio Fulci, or Dario Argento. However, it is so loopey and bizarre that
it is actually fascinating! Slaughter Hotel's original ad campaign played upon the idea that the film is Based on a True Story , which means it really wasn't. Versions

Later it was passed 'AA' uncut for 1973 cinema release. The film was passed 15 uncut on home video. The film is MPAA PG rated and uncut in the US. Summary Notes Joe Martin, a quiet
American, lives a quiet life in the South of France renting boats to tourists. He is happily married to Fabienne and has a twelve-year-old daughter named Michèle. But the quiet man has a past: ten years before, Joe (then Moran) had escaped with four
other convicts, among whom the sadistic ex-mercenary Katanga. Seeing the latter brutally kill an M. P., Joe had abandoned his accomplices and left with the car. One night, Captain Ross, Katanga, Whitey and Fausto re-appear.. This is not the greatest Bronson movie ever made but it is nonetheless entertaining. It does have one spectacular car chase or rather motorcycle pursuit on winding roads of south of France. There are some nice performances and it's fun to see James Mason play a villain although he's a likable one. Liv Ullman is fine and Jill Ireland plays a hilarious rich hippie chick.

Cut by the BBFC for 1977 cinema release. The cuts have persisted to all releases since. There is also an unreleased hardcore version of the film. Summary Notes A health-resort where
both the clients and the employees easily take their clothes off and have a little fun is the setting of this sex-comedy. The film was massively promoted by men's magazines associated with David Sullivan, eg Playbirds and
Whitehouse. The advertising predictable suggested that the film was somehow harder than the soft softcore that the BBFC allowed at that time.

The Coming of Seymour is a 1975 US sex comedy by Lee Frost. With Cindy Arnold, Rene Bond and Christine Burke.
Banned by the BBFC for the 1976 cinema release and not
released since. See article from
templeofschlock.blogspot.com : The softcore film was originally made as The Coming of Seymour but was released in the US as The
Fabulous Fanny to relate it to a cartoon strip in Playboy. It was not a success and was reworked with extra scenes and re-released in 1977 as The Boob Tube Strikes Again! The film is about a couple interacting
with an X rated film on hotel TV. The film within a film is about the voluptuous cartoon character of Fanny, who dominates the daydreams of young Seymour. This sexual obsession stands in the way of his siring a child that will enable him to inherit the
family fortune. Seymour thoroughly enjoys his attempts to impregnate as many beautiful women as possible, but each time he is unable to reach that million dollar climax. Versions

- 2008 20th Century Fox RB Blu-ray
The BBFC commented in their 2006 Annual Report: Commando had previously required two cuts for '18' to reduce strong bloody injury detail. These cuts were waived when the work was resubmitted, both to reflect public
expectations following the Board's public consultations in recent years and because the cut scenes are now considered to have little impact on the tone of the work as a whole or its likely effect on an audience. The MPAA cuts for
an R rating were all during the tool shed scene:
- The pitchfork killing originally features additional reaction from the soldier as he dies and an extra shot as he slumps to the floor
- Schwarzenegger throws a second circular saw blade which
embeds itself into the neck of a bad guy. Blood and reaction from the soldier as he puts is hands to his neck has been cut
- The guy who is axed in the groin is shown in agony longer in the original.

pre-cut 26s cut
|
| 85:33s | UK: A 26s pre-cut Theatrical Version was passed 18 without further BBFC cuts for:
- 2001 20th Century Fox R2 DVD
The pre-cuts which the UK (and R2 Scandinavian and R4 Australian) releases contain, have their origin in Germany. These cuts were imposed on German theatrical and video releases by the German censors, FSK, in order to achieve an "FSK 18"
rating. So these cut masters must have served FOX to produce their UK DVDs. Thanks to Luis who has specified the cuts are as follow:
- 0:02:00 - Before the credits Cooke (Bill Duke), disguised as a garbage man, shots a man from a short distance. A scene in which he approaches the body and shoots it on the chest several times was cut. On the DVD we see him getting near and then
lowering the gun and going back.
- 0:21:17 - Matrix (Schwarzenegger) hits the guy with him on the plane with an elbow. Then pulls a blanket over him to make it appear that he's sleeping. On the uncut version he pulls the head of the man down
gently and breaks his neck, before covering him. In the censored version, the man is killed with a single blow or maybe died from a heart attack during his sleep!
- 0:45:30 - Matrix throws Cooke against some piece of wooden furniture on the floor
(the impact is not seen in any version). We hear him moaning, and then Matrix gets near him. We then see a close shot framing Cooke's face, foaming a bit of blood from the mouth, and the wood spike coming from his chest. Matrix asks for his daughter:
"Where is she?" then pulling the tie of the dying man: "Talk!" Another close shot of the face and the bloody mouth and chest. The DVD version cuts both close shots while also removing both lines of dialogue from Swarzenegger. It also
cuts part of the moaning we hear from Cooke.
- 1:06:50 - Following to the fight scenes with the Big Ugly Hispanics (BUH), a cut is made when Matrix stabs one on the stomach
- 1:07:09 - A BUH is killed with a knife on the throat. The frontal
shot is cut (it's not very bloody originally).
- 1:07:17 - Matrix killing another soldier is missing
- 1:08:34 - 5 shots cut to remove the one in which BUH is machine-gunned.
- 1.10:20 - After some more shooting with the machine gun,
Matrix grabs his pistol. But before that shot, two others are cut: one has more BUHs being hit at a distance (probably the less violent deaths in the film...); another one is a close shot of a BUH being killed with two bullets on the chest (with some
blood spilling).
- 1:11:38 - Here we're in the famous tool shed sequence.. A soldier approaches the door and opens it. He's stabbed by a pitchfork on the chest. This was cut in this version, even though they left the more violent scene in which a
man is killed with a circular saw that cuts part of the top of his head.
- 1:11:40 - After the second saw, Matrix grabs an axe and a machete, he uses the axe between the legs of a BUH and then proceeds to the last Hispanic. He grabs his arm and
cuts it with the machete. 5 shots where removed here, eliminating both deaths. On the censored version, after the last saw we see Matrix immediately grabbing a machine gun from the floor.
- 1:19:50 - During the "releasing some steam"
scene, after Matrix throws a metal pipe at Bennett there's originally a close-up shot of the bad guy's chest with the pipe against it (there's no blood). We then see him moaning and spilling some blood from the mouth. The camera slowly pulls back framing
Bennett and the pipe releasing steam. The censored version is cut before the pipe enters the frame, passing for a shot of Matrix, which then delivers the line "Let out some steam, Bennett!" Much moaning is also cut with this; so, just like
Cooke, Bennett has a much faster death with a bit less suffering.

| 85:56s | UK: The Theatrical Version was passed 18 after 12s of BBFC cuts for:
- 1999 20th Century Fox VHS
- 1986 CBS/Fox VHS

The BBFC cuts were:
- In the uncut version Arnie grabbed an axe and a machette from inside the wall of a toolshed. Then he hit the guard coming through the door between the legs with axe, dropped him, and exited. He then grabbed the guard outside who was holding a machine
gun and chopped off his gun arm with the machete. As the arm falls he pulls the machine gun away. The cut version makes it appear he's lifting the gun.
- At the end of the film where a close-up of the pole sticking out of Bennett's stomach has
been cut

points out a Camel, Conan talks to the camel, the Camel spits white goo over Conan. The UK Version then cuts to the next scene. The Uncut US version shows Conan smack the camel on the top of its head making it crumble to the floor. It was probably cut
due to the issue of cruelty to animals.

Hacked emails reveal that the producers came under pressure for its criticism of the US NFL football league. Hacked See
article from nytimes.com In dozens of
studio emails unearthed by hackers, Sony executives; the director, Peter Landesman; and representatives of Mr. Smith discussed how to avoid antagonizing the N.F.L. by altering the script and marketing the film more as a whistle-blower story, rather than
a condemnation of football or the league. Dwight Caines, the president of domestic marketing at Sony Pictures, wrote in an email on Aug. 6, 2014, to three top studio executives about how to position the movie: Will is
not anti football (nor is the movie) and isn't planning to be a spokesman for what football should be or shouldn't be but rather is an actor taking on an exciting challenge We'll develop messaging with the help of N.F.L. consultant to ensure that we are
telling a dramatic story and not kicking the hornet's nest.

There exists a softcore version and an XXX version with hardcore inserts. The softcore

Hardcore Inserts Emanuelle Around the World is one of the more shocking of the Emanuelle series, right up there with Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals and Emanuelle in America. Effective on an undeniably crass but
immediate level, this is the kind of cinema that drips animal savagery and guilty pleasure -- exactly the type of subversive cinema that has moral police gasping in the isles (or masturbating in the closet). The Euro XXX version of
the film features a few brief clips of penetration & fellatio in orgy sequences (not with the stars of the show, however), but generally the sex portrayed is of the standard soft-core variety.

Conquest is a 1983 Italy/Spain/Mexico action film by Lucio Fulci. With Jorge Rivero, Andrea Occhipinti and Conrado San Martín.
Cut by the BBFC for 18 rated cinema release in 1983. Uncut and MPAA R
rated in the US. Summary Review: Truly strange Set in a land ruled by an evil sorceress called Ocron and her cruel followers. Two warriors unite to bring her down but she too knows about them and
seeks to destroy them. Lucio Fulci's stab at the fantasy genre is truly strange and highly enjoyable and therefore a must see for fans of Fulci. It's a lively affair with much action as well
as some of the most strangest looking monsters you're ever likely to see. Being a Fulci film you are guaranteed gory moments and Conquest doesn't disappoint as there are bloody set pieces throughout. Yes the effects
at times are laughable but it all adds to the fun and it's accompanied by a pounding score by Claudio Simonetti from Goblin. Versions

keep a PG rating. In the opening, a police patrol tracks and kills a gorilla, which is shown to have numerous cuts and welts. Breck later references a gorilla who turned on his master and was killed. In the ending, Caesar
allows the apes to beat Breck and the other humans to death. Breck does not cower, but faces his executioners. Lisa does not say "No" and Caesar makes no speech counseling compassion. There are also additional shots of apes and humans bleeding
from gunshots, and apes stacking bodies of riot police. | Theatrical Version

v Contamination
- 1980 Italian horror by Luigi Cozzi
- Contaminazione
- Alien Contamination
- Alien 2
- Astaron Strut des Scheckens
- Toxic Spawn
Contamination is a 1980 Italian horror by Luigi Cozzi With Ian McCulloch, Louise Marleau and Marino Masé.
A pre-cut version was banned as a video nasty in 1983. Passed 15 uncut for
DVD. Cut and uncut versions exist in the US Summary Review : Odd and cheesy A former astronaut helps a government agent and a police detective track the source of mysterious alien
pod spores, filled with lethal flesh-dissolving acid, to a South American coffee plantation controlled by alien pod clones. This was a very odd and cheesy Italian gore flick, it was a mix of horror and science fiction and it was
directed by Luigi Cozzi. While Contamination was a decent film I just didn't think it was that good, the first half was very promising as we get to see some impressive gore scenes with the exploding stomachs but then the second half
kind of loses steam and becomes slightly boring. The green alien eggs were a knock off from Alien and you could tell that this film was trying to cash in on its success which was typical of Italian horror films at the time, some of these films were of
course great cause you can't take them too seriously and they were usually gorier than the original films. Contamination has some pretty bad acting and the direction from Luigi Cozzi was rather low-key with some scenes looking a bit
too dark, the pacing was a bit uneven despite having a great opening sequence which had some great suspense and the film also has a weak plot, but if your a gore hound then you won't mind since there were plenty of great gore scenes.

~121:00s =~116:00s | 1974 Italy/France drama by Luchino Visconti. With Burt Lancaster, Helmut Berger and Silvana Mangano.
A presumably uncut re-mastered version is MPAA Unrated for:
Summary Review: Super erotic and homo-erotic Retired professor of American origin lives solitary life in luxurious palazzo in Rome He is confronted by vulgar Italian marchesa and her lover, daughter and daughter's boyfriend
renting an apartment on upper floor of his palazzo. From this point his quiet routine is turned into chaos by his tenants' machinations, and everybody's life is taking unexpected but inevitable turn. Lancaster, as you would
expect, is exceptional. His reluctant inclusion into a lively family dynamic is superbly rendered and absolutely believable. Filmed in stagnant shots within cramped quarters, the characters seemed all but trapped with one another.
This is Visconti's penultimate film which marks the culmination of his career as a master of Italian cinema. Super erotic and homo-erotic scenes that are humorous and titillating. |

ever to shoot onto the screen, Cotton Comes To Harlem spawned the Blaxploitation boom by delivering a "refreshingly different detective action yarn with soul and humor" (Cue) and an unbeatable mix of "humor and excitement!" (Los Angeles
Herald-Examiner). Detectives "Gravedigger" Jones (Godfrey Cambridge) and "Coffin Ed" Johnson (Raymond St. Jacques) are on a case investigating a crooked Reverend (Calvin Lockhart) - a brother whose "Back to Africa" campaign is
nothing more than a big scam. But when $87,000 of the Reverend s laundered cash gets stashed in a bail of cotton, Gravedigger and Coffin find they're not the only dudes suddenly interested in soaring cotton prices as they come up against the mafia, the
police, black militants and street thugs in an all-out dash to nab $87,000 cash. One of the handful of films directed by acting great Ossie Davis (Gordon s War) with a top-notch supporting cast that includes Redd Foxx, Cleavon Little, J.D. Cannon, John

v Countess Dracula - 1971 UK horror by Peter Sasdy.
Countess Dracula is a 1971 UK horror by Peter Sasdy. With
Ingrid Pitt, Nigel Green and Sandor Elès.
The BBFC originally asked for cuts but these were waived on appeal. Summary Review: The brilliant Ingrid Pitt In medieval Europe aging Countess Elisabeth rules harshly with the
help of lover Captain Dobi. Finding that washing in the blood of young girls makes her young again she gets Dobi to start abducting likely candidates. The Countess - pretending to be her own daughter - starts dallying with a younger man, much to Dobi's
annoyance. The disappearances cause mounting terror locally, and when she finds out that only the blood of a virgin does the job, Dobi is sent out again with a more difficult task. Director Peter Sasdy may have let the brilliant
Ingrid Pitt run a little wilder amongst the drab sets with the roles of Bathory young and old, but her joy at hamming it up helps place this as one of the better later Hammer productions. Nigel Green and Maurice Denham give twitching support.

- Sexy Nature
- Italian hardcore version
- Les croqueuses (The Munchers)
- French hardcore version
Countess Perverse is a 1974 France horror thriller by Jesús Franco. With Alice Arno, Howard Vernon, Kali Hansa.
The Director's Cut is the original version before Franco tried various
edits to try and sell it. An Italian version include hardcore inserts with Alice Arno and Lina Romay whilst a French hardcore version featured Monica Swinn and Pierre Taylou. Franco later remade this film in 1997 as Tender Flesh. It is reported that
the cannibal elements restricted distribution, perhaps this was an issue for British distributors and censors. There has been no attempt to release the film in the UK. Summary Review: Sordid flesh festivities
Two wealthy aristocrats lure a virginal girl to a Spanish island for a night of sex, death and cannibalism. Half the film is devoted to Sapphic sessions and sordid flesh festivities just shy of pornography.
Franco is the ultimate cinematic voyeur and his films appeal to those with voyeuristic tendencies, and what they always lack in plot development offer prurient interest and degenerate lust as compensation. Franco stable mate
Howard Vernon's back as his usual creepy self, the baron chef with unusual culinary skills and a smile that would make your skin crawl. All in all, I found this to be a really enjoyable watch Versions
