The BBFC commented: The BBFC initially classified this film 15 uncut. The distributor requested a cuts list for 12A, but the BBFC refused to offer cuts because the changes would be extensive and could damage the
integrity of the film. However, the distributor chose to make their own cuts, removing a number of scenes of strong violence, and submitted a new version of the film for classification. This edit also received a 15 classification. The distributor chose
to make cuts to this version, removing further scenes of violence in order to achieve their preferred category of 12A.
Thanks to Scott who commented: It's already been released as an uncut 15, so clearly now the
distributor is trying to cash in and get the lucrative family crowd to see it. Cinema going is a family activity in Indian culture, hence distros regularly being happy to inflict gargantuan cuts on their films to get the 12A. I should add though that
it's incredibly unusual for one to be cut by more than 10 or so mins - half an hour is unprecedented. I can't even begin to imagine the mess they've made of this. Apparently fellow Indian actioners Beast and Jailer were incomprehensible in their heavily
cut forms, and they were only missing 6 or 7 mins. | uncut

US Amazon Review from
UK Amazon : Roger Corman 70s b-movie Big Bad Mama is the
archetypal Roger Corman 70s b-movie, with the monsters and sci-fi of the 50s and 60s replaced by plentiful low-budget action, tongue-in-cheek humor and mandatory nudity from almost every actress in the cast in a fast-moving Depression-era backroads
gangster flick. Angie Dickinson is the Ma Barker figure tryin' to do right by her two gals, stumbling her way from bootlegging to armed robbery to kidnapping with the aid of Tom Skerritt's bank robber and William Shatner's
Southern conman (unfortunately the mandatory nudity rule also applies to him, though we are spared the sight of the captain's log). Mostly this has few aspirations beyond throwing in as many shootouts, car chases and nude
scenes from Ms Dickinson as it can in its 83-minute running time. | uncut |

The Big Bang is a 1987 France / Belgium animation comedy fantasy by Picha. Starring Luis Rego, Georges Aminel and Perrette Pradier.
Cut by the BBFC for blasphemy. Summary Review: Like
something off Flesh Gordon In 1995, Italy annihilates Libya, which destroys Israel. Africa bombs Germany, which in turn attacks France. Then it gets out of hand leaving only two continents on the verge of World War IV.
In the north, a mutated strain of males in America and Russia merge. All that is left of womankind retreat to their territory of Vaginia. Everything looks like something off Flesh Gordon. The weapons and characters, even the
battle (of the sexes) that is going on here. There are loads, loads and loads of sexual reference and innuendo. Bottom line: not for everybody (like the politically correct and squeamish). Versions

Summary Review: Worth seeing! A unique prison film on the grounds that it provides a great mix of comedy and action. Pam Grier as a tough revolutionary provided all the action as she plotted to free the mistreated women
from prison. The comedy mostly came from the sexually deprived women, who were full of one-liners and crazy notions. But of course the movie still contained all the things that make a good prison exploitation film....lots
of nudity... violence... bad language and did I mention lots of nudity. It's worth seeing! | 2:45s | |

The Big Boss is a 1971 Hong Kong martial arts film by Wei Lo. With Bruce Lee, Maria Yi and James Tien.
Cut by the BBFC for X rated cinema release and 18 rated VHS. The cuts were
waived in 2000, but not all DVD releases have used the uncut version. A longer Mandarin Cut resurfaced in 2023 with lost scenes, for example, the infamous saw in the head or Lee's second visit to the brothel. This was passed 15 for 2023 cinema release.
Summary Review: Broken Oath of Non-Violence A young man sworn to an oath of non-violence works with his cousins in an ice factory where they mysteriously begin to disappear. As
one might expect, the whole movie is an excuse to show off Bruce Lee's moves, and they do a great job with it. There's not much in the way of an actual plot. They get straight down to the martial arts. Probably Bruce's most violent and bloody film.

much of this is due to extra scenes or due to the fps rate of the print I couldn't find out. Legend has it that there are extra scenes not available in the theatrical version, possibly some that have already surfaced on DVD such
as the second visit to brothel etc, but most excitingly the uncut version of the icehouse / saw through the head scene. Also apparently the violence in the movie was tamed prior to the general release of the film.
Only one print of this version is known to exist, but the owner has so far refused to distribute or sell the reels.

Uncut for 2003 DVD. Uncut in the US Summary Review: Naive Silly Fun Beautiful women prisoners are abused in a Philippine prison, until 5 of them plot an escape by taking the evil female warden hostage
with the reluctant help of 2 male fruit vendors. The whole film has a tone of naivety despite of its run of sex and violence. The plot couldn't be more simple: a group of women in prison, led by the resourceful Collier
(top-billed Judy Brown), plan an escape. Guards torment and molest prisoners. Prisoners get naked (though not as much as you'd expect for this genre). One evil head guard, Lucian tortures bad girls by tying them to tables and hanging snakes over them.
The fast paced film is surprisingly well acted, and delivers all the usual thrills you would expect, with a few witty lines and some hysterical monologues.

v The Big Racket -
1976 Italian crime film by Enzo G Castellari.
The Big Racket is a 1976 Italian crime film by Enzo G Castellari. With Fabio Testi, Vincent Gardenia and Renzo Palmer.
Banned by the BBFC for 1977 cinema release. Cut for 18 rated 2003 VHS. Later restored for uncut 18 rated Blu-ray in 2022. Uncut in the US Summary Review: Good Script Nico Palmieri is
a police inspector who battles against hoodlums terrorising a sleepy Italian village, extorting cash from the locals. The Big Racket benefits immensely from a strong leading performance courtesy of Fabio Testi. Testi's portrayal
of the angry police officer is perfectly judged to fit the movie, and I don't think there is an actor who could be better suited to playing the lead in this movie. The script is really good, and finds time to flesh out its
characters as well as deliver witty dialogue that is always a part of this movie's bigger budget American cousins. It all boils down to a fabulous conclusion which serves in ensuring the movie gets the bloody end it deserves, as well as rounding off the
story perfectly.

US: Cut for an MPAA PG-13 rating Thanks to Mark who pointed out that there's a dubbing alteration in the hair salon between Mel Gibson, Goldie Hawn and the owner of the salon. The scene involves Goldie using Mel's real name, Rick instead of
Matty and there seems to be an overdub recorded in a studio by the actors to replace the word clearly mouthed as 'Prick' with the overdub 'Sick'. Comments on IMDb suggest that this was a cut to obtain an MPAA PG-13 rating. |

- L'Uccello Dalle Piume di Cristallo

- Point of Terror
The Bird with the Crystal Plumage is a 1969 Italian/West German thriller by Dario Argento. With Tony Musante and Suzy Kendall.
The cut US R Version was passed X for cinema release (and pre-cert VHS).
Cut further by the BBFC for VHS and 2005 DVD. Uncut for the 2011 Arrow DVD. Originally cut in the US for a PG rating but recent US releases have been uncut. Summary Review: Engrossing Mystery This was
Dario Argento's debut feature, a well-received thriller in which an American writer living in Rome (Tony Musante) witnesses an assault on a woman in an art gallery and is subsequently targeted by the would-be assassin, a crazed psychopath who's been
terrorizing the city with a series of brutal murders. It is a fairly straightforward thriller with horror asides, anchored by a strong narrative, an increasingly bizarre series of supporting characters, and a strong Everyman hero
who slots the puzzle together piece by piece before realizing that the most important clue to the killer's identity was there in front of him all the time. Producers were unconvinced of his directorial abilities and wanted to pull
him off the picture during the first few weeks of shooting, but Argento persevered under an iron-clad contract and ultimately proved his critics wrong with the finished product, a genuinely engrossing mystery punctuated by scenes of explicit horror.

v A Bittersweet Life
- 2005 South Korean action film by Ji-woon Kim
A Bittersweet Life is a 2005 South Korean action film by Ji-woon Kim With Jeong-min Hwang and Yu-mi Jeong.
Exists in a Theatrical Version and a Director's Cut Summary
Review : Just Keeps Getting Better In the same vein as Oldboy comes A Bittersweet Life , a movie so good it shocked me
when watching it for the first time. It's a violent revenge movie with a gripping story with some fantastic actors such as Byung-hun Lee.
As reviewer K. Jones has put it, this movie mixes violence and emotions in an excellent way, and even if the
violence is a bit too brutal at times, you still have a lot of "nice" things to fall back on. There are a lot of action elements and the movie is quite stylish to say the least. Yet you still really care about the characters and what's going
on. This is easily one of the best Korean movies I've seen this year, and a movie that I will probably enjoy watching many times in the future. Versions
