Cut in the US for an R rating but not in Europe. The European Version also features a downbeat ending compared with the upbeat US ending. Later issued with extra material for a Director's Cut. There also exists a TV version.
Summary Review: You Won't Regret It Army of Darkness starts where Evil Dead 2 left off. Ashley has now gone back in time to the mid-evil times where he has to find a way back to
his time. But the people he has met through this time think that he is the one who will save them all from the evil dead. They promise to help him find a way back if he saves them. Along that journey, he meets a beautiful peasant girl, Sheila, and they
have a romantic affair. Along his journey to save the people, he must retrieve the "Book of the Dead", but when he slurs the words and does a half assed job of it, the book rises an evil twin of Ash's and leads his Army of Darkness to destroy
the village Ash has promised to save.
This movie has great laughs and is a great end to this terrific trilogy. You won't regret seeing it, trust me.

US Amazon Review from
UK Amazon : Unconventional gangster movie As tears go by
is an interesting and cinematographically beautiful film set in Mongkok, a district in Hong Kong. This movie is directed by Won Kar Wai, an artist that can take a premise and develop it so well that the story he tells turns into reality. In this
case, that premise is how to tell the story of a person without a future, of someone that believes that People like us don't have tomorrows . The main character of As tears go by is Wah (Andy Lau), a
well-known Hong Kong mobster that leads a very dangerous life. He is respected and feared, and has only two objectives in life: to stay alive and to take care of his family. That last objective is a little difficult in what concerns to his younger
brother Fly (Jackie Cheung), a young man that wants to belong to a triad, but doesn't have what it takes to be respected in a violent environment. From my point of view, this unconventional gangster movie is worth your
time. |

screaming in pain, after the impact.
- The scene where Tony beats Wah with a baseball bat is missing the blows to the shoulder, body and then repeated blows
13th October 2009. Thanks to PhilipK As far as I remember, my UK "Made in Hongkong"-VHS Video suffered one more cut, when Andy Lau presses Maggie Cheung against the Wall while they were standing on the stairs. There was a
small "jump" in this scene, missing when he touches/hits (?) her face. The Hongkong DVD did not have that "jump". It's only a second or so, so you may miss this moment easily... |

- ...som havets nakna vind
...As the Naked Wind from the Sea is a 1968 Sweden/West Germany sex comedy romance by Gunnar Höglund. With Hans Gustafsson, Lillemor Ohlsson and Barbro Hiort af Ornäs.
Banned by the BBFC for 1969 cinema release. Released after cuts on VHS Summary Review: Forgotten Gem One Swedish Summer (which was the US title) is a forgotten gem from the
days when skilled directors were at the helm of exploitation films, and while a fascinating viewing experience, it also serves to demonstrate just how thoughtless and pedestrian these kinds of films have become lately. A handsome
young male classical violinist experiences his sexual awakening one summer in the middle of teh Swedish nowhere. One Swedish Summer boasts beautiful location photography as well as exquisitely beautiful music on the
soundtrack, a combination of classical baroque and late 60's Europop. This is contrasted with close-up shots of female pubic regions, full-frontal male nudity, and several brushes with themes of voyeurism and sadomasochism.

Cut by the BBFC for 18 rated VHS in 1986. Uncut and MPAA Unrated in the US. Summary Notes A team of scientists working to raise a sunken Russian nuclear submarine on an ocean platform
off the coast of Miami, Florida, unearth an ancient Atlantean relic from the sea floor and bring in an expert to make some sense of it. But while attempting to raise the sub, radioactive leakage from its missles triggers the re-emergence of Atlantis, and
the resulting tidal wave destroys the platform and leaves only a small group of survivors. Rescued by two Vietnamvets-turned-heavies who are out relaxing after their latest job, their boat eventually runs aground on a Carribean island nearby where, upon
going ashore, it is discovered that everything has been destroyed and everybody killed. The culprits, a vicious group of well-armed raiders, and their leader, Crystal Skull, are descendants of Atlantis' original race who set about reclaiming the world
and adding the survivors to the list of victims as they struggle to stay alive and defeat the raiders and send Atlantis back to the ocean floor.

The pre-cuts were: The distributors cut a joke about Princess Di as the 1997 cinema release was on the week of her death. When Dr Evil comes up with his ransom plans his first
one is to ask for a sum of $1 million dollars otherwise he will tell the world that Prince Charles is having an affair and expose it to the world. Robert Wagner's character then informs him that this has already happened, at which point he says
that he should be kept informed of these things as he has been frozen for a period of time. See article from dailymail.co.uk
. The Daily Mail has been perusing new only opened files at the BBFC and come u with a colourful examiner's report about Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. The examiner wrote: O dear, this really
has to qualify as the worst new film for theatrical release. I am not acquainted with Mr Mike Myers -- the star and writer of this product -- and cannot fathom how he can have been given this showcase for his talent.
It really is embarrassingly unfunny. The film is a spoof on a Bond movie but is so crass and asinine that one cannot even begin to warm to it. It really is embarrassingly unfunny. The film is a spoof on a Bond movie but is so crass
and asinine that one cannot even begin to warm to it.
The report went on to say that the movie had an aggressive edge and commented on its tacky and lavatorial humour. The examiner then launched a waspish tirade against some of the
stars involved before concluding that the film was fit only for undiscerning teenagers. The writer said the use of the word 'fuck' and repetition of terms such as 'shit' and 'shag' set the tone of the whole piece, crude, distasteful and unredeemed by
intelligence, irony or wit. But Myers had the last laugh, the film on a budget of just £12million took £50million at the international box office and combined with its two sequels, it brought in a total of £500million+. A spokesman for the BBFC
accepted the comments were more colourful then normal. |

enthusing over his rebellious offspring. The scene that riled up up the MPAA board involved one of the leads in an unsettling predicament involving a drill and an oxygen tank. We wound up having to cut almost forty seconds out of that scene. First we
just did some trimming and they were like, 'No.' Then we cut a little bit more, and they said, 'No.'

put it back in, Cameron described the lovemaking scene between Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana noting that it lasts all of about 20 seconds . It's been restored, every last frame of it. Seriously. I would say, just so that we correctly

of the impact is not shown, only the tip of the spear protruding from the man's chest with a small amount of blood on it. The image is not dwelt upon and serves an important narrative purpose. The BBFC's Guidelines at 12A'/'12 state Moderate
violence is allowed but should not dwell on detail. There should be no emphasis on injuries or blood, but occasional gory moments may be permitted if justified by the context . US: The Protruding Spear Version is MPAA

IMDb : Devastating drama This is a very serious and devastating drama, based on true events that took place early in 17th Century in Italy and emphasizing
on the hypocrisy and abuse of power of the Catholic Church. The story is incredibly convoluted and often difficult to follow, but at the same time truly fascinating and the recreation of time & era are brilliant.
For as far as I remember the stuff my high-school history teacher attempted to tell me, the political background of this film is accurate to the tiniest detail. It's also a very well made film, especially considering the
low production values! The cinematography and decors are extremely stylish and the film also benefits from a splendid Ennio Morricone score. The acting is great with Antonio Sabato ( Seven Blood-Stained Orchids )
and Anne Heywood ( What Waits Below ) bringing an amazing and plausible chemistry on screen. A beautiful movie, but certainly not for all tastes. |

Axe is a 1977 US horror by Frederick R Friedel. With Leslie Lee, Jack Canon and Ray Green.
Cut by the BBFC for 1982 cinema release and 1999 VHS. Banned as a video
nasty in 1984. The BBFC waived their cuts for 2005 DVD. Uncut in the US Summary Review: Classic of its kind A gang of three murderers escape the police, terrorize a
salesgirl in a roadside grocery store, then proceed to hide-out in a seemingly deserted farmhouse. They soon discover that a young girl, Lisa, and her paralyzed grandfather live there. The gang attempt some sleazy deeds, but Lisa shows how she can work
an axe in self defence.
Even though this movie is EXTREMELY low-budget and is only around 60 minutes long, it is still another example of how a low-budget can help a movie. The acting isn't always the best, but Leslie Lee is considerably creepy
as Lisa the axe murderess. The movie doesn't really go anywhere, but it is a classic of its kind. Versions
