Crash is a 1996 Canada / UK drama by David Cronenberg.
Starring James
Spader, Holly Hunter and Elias Koteas. 
British newspapers whipped up a moral panic and the film was banned in
Westminster. No problems for the BBFC though and it was passed 18 uncut for cinema and home video. In the US the NC-17 version is uncut whilst the R rated version is significantly cut. Summary Notes Since a road accident left him with serious facial and bodily scarring, a former TV scientist has become obsessed by the marriage of motor-car technology with what he sees as the raw sexuality of car-crash victims. The scientist, along with a crash victim he has recently befriended, sets about performing a series of sexual acts in a variety of motor vehicles, either with other crash victims or with prostitutes whom they contort into the shape of trapped corpses. Ultimately, the scientist craves a suicidal union of blood, semen, and engine coolant, a union with which he becomes dangerously obsessed.

Summary Review: Brave Attempt The film adaptation, directed by David Cronenberg, becomes a futuristic love story set in the present . James (James Spader) and Catherine (Deborah Kara-Ungar) are a married
couple so filled with inertia that they are desperate for some emotional connection by any means necessary. After a series of extra martial encounters they find themselves attracted to a group of disturbed members of a bizarre car-crash sect who enact
famous car crashes for kicks. The pair soon find themselves willing accomplices in a tableaux of violence and desire until finally they attain some provisional approximation of actual love. Kara-Ungar's portrayal of Catherine exemplifies perfectly the
icy detachment of a woman who appears to be observing herself from another galaxy. Crash is, above all, a brave attempt to explore an almost un-bearable subject - the death of affect and our unconscious desire for
violence. | 
banned | Westminster
Council | UK: Banned in Westminster (central London)
See article from sbbfc.co.uk : Banned in Westminster
Perhaps in the light of the continuing media onslaught against the film, Westminster Council - who had previously given permission for the film to be premiered in their area as part of the 1996 London Film Festival - parted company
with the BBFC at this point, insisting that cuts should now be made to the film before it was shown in the West End. The distributors declined to make cuts solely for screenings in Westminster and the film was therefore effectively banned from screens in
the West End, including Leicester Square. However, cinema goers could easily see the film in neighbouring Camden where the council allowed the film to play uncut with its BBFC certificate |

genre, similar in style and plotline to those the company made in the early sixties such as Maniac, Paranoiac, Nightmare and Scream of Fear/Taste of Fear. It probably isn't one of Hammer's greatest achievements but is by no means
one of the worst. The photography is very effective in places and the setting is quite haunting in a picturesque kind of way.

Russell's masterpiece has cult movie written all over it. A lurid, extreme sex-and-violence fantasy porno-movie. In the bravest and best performance of her career, Kathleen Turner plays the mystery woman who is Joanna,
prim fashion designer by day and China Blue, the fantasy hooker to end all fantasy hookers, by night. Her nemesis is Anthony Perkin's psychopathic preacher with the razor-sharp dildo. His is the kind of performance that
goes beyond mere acting into some kind of crazy stratosphere all it's own.

- The crocodile's lengthy attack on a riverside village takes place in two
separate scenes in Randall's version.
- The ending was altered: In the Thai version, Tony destroys the crocodile after throwing a dynamite fuse into its jaws. The international version has Peter's self-sacrifice causing the explosion.

The BBFC cuts were to a drugs joke (Paul Hogan pours cocaine into a basin of water and puts a towel over his head) From the 1987 BBFC Annual Report: Cuts to the comic scene of cocaine-snorting in the video of
Crocodile Dundee, one of the most popular cinema films of 1986-87. Here small trims were required to remove not only the actual sight of sniffing, which on video now happens off-screen, but all dialogue reference to the nature of the substance by the
sympathetic leading lady, who on film suggested an uncritical attitude towards the recreational use of cocaine. When the film was classified in early 1986, cocaine was not a major drug of abuse in Britain, and the scene was found acceptable because of
its attractive comic tone. A year later, when the video was submitted, cocaine use had become a problem even for teenagers, and caution was called for in respect of a scene that might be viewed in the family setting for many years to come.

v Cruel Jaws

Cruel Jaws is a 1995 Italy / USA action comedy horror by Bruno Mattei (as William Snyder). Starring David Luther, George Barnes Jr and Scott Silveria.
Exists as s standard home video version and a Japanese version/Snyder Cut.
Promotional Material He defied all laws of good taste and international copyright with SHOCKING DARK and ROBOWAR. He reset the bar for batsh*t crazy ItaloHorror with RATS: NIGHT OF TERROR and HELL
OF THE LIVING DEAD. And in 1995, legendary director Bruno Mattei - here as 'William Snyder' - stunned the civilized world with this ultimate sharksploitation saga that liberally borrows characters, plot and footage from Joe D'Amato's DEEP BLOOD and Enzo
G. Castellari's THE LAST SHARK (and that's just the tip of a very litigious fin). Versions

Cruel Passion is a 1977 UK/West Germany/Italy drama by Chris Boger. With Koo Stark, Martin Potter and Lydia Lisle.
2:46s cut by the BBFC for 1977 cinema release and 1986 VHS. Cut by 19s for
1994 VHS. Uncut for 2012 DVD. US releases used the UK cut and then the uncut version. Summary Review: Koo Stark is good as Justine Justine is a nubile young virgin cast out of a French orphanage and
thrust into a depraved world of prostitution. She slips into a life of debauchery, torture, whipping, slavery and salaciousness. Meanwhile, her brazen, flirtatious and liberated sister Juliette ironically receives nothing but
happiness and reward for her wanton behaviour. Koo Stark is good as Justine, innocent, naive, and of course, beautiful. The film has great period detail is beautifully shot.

US: Uncut and MPAA R Rated for:
Thanks to Daniel, May 2008: Subliminally Different Has anyone else noticed that although the new director's cut recently released in the UK restores the previously censored subliminal footage, the footage
itself is different. In the original version, the footage was darkish but still distinct and in colour. In the new version it's bright, scratchy and in black & white! It doesn't even look like the same footage, and is clearly discernibly during
normal playback which was not the case in the original version. Is it still genuine hardcore footage? It appears Channel 5's uncut screening was of even more value than I first thought.
Censorship Reversed? Now
Cruising has been released on DVD for the first time. First off, the movie has been re-mastered and looks like a different film. What was murky or muffled before, now is crystal clear, especially the soundtrack. Presumably this is the undoing
of the censorship required for a US R Rating. William Friedkin spoke of MPAA censorship and cuts to obtain an R for Cruising. See article
from clickonline.com William Friedkin : Darkening or bits of smoke over a shot. I've done that with Cruising, where I went back 50 times
before I got an R. CLICK Magazine : Was it worth it? William Friedkin: Well I'm happy the film was out but without their interference and small-mindedness and their censorship which is what it
is. They hate that word. If they read that I've called them censors they will freak out.

- 2003 FilmFour DVD not released
The BBFC commented:
- Three compulsory cuts for 18 required to remove sight of explicit anal penetration by penis in two murder scenes
Presumably these cuts are to the much talked about subliminal shots. Note that when Channel 4 screened The Celluloid Closet a few years ago as part of a gay film season, this documentary (a survey of homosexuality in the movies) included clips from
this film, one of which was the cut sequence of (almost) subliminal anal penetration building up to a murder. These were fairly rapid film inserts, but you couldn't fail to notice them. |

The BBFC cuts were:
- 30 seconds were removed from the 1st murder, 7 shots. About 19 seconds removed of the killer gliding the knife over the victim's body. To bridge the gap, a shot which turns up later, (the killer grabbing something to tie the victim up with) is run
here instead. 2 more shots removed of the killer tying up the victim. During the stabbing, 4 shots were removed, 2 of these shots were subliminal images showing hardcore anal penetration.
- ~29minutes into the film, a camera pan across one of the
gay bars has lost 6 seconds (Just before the guy asks Pacino about the hankie).
There still exists one other subliminal shot during the peepshow murder, the image is so dark it looks like nothing. It's cut into the shot of the knife going into the victim's back. |

Cry Uncle is a 1971 USA sex comedy by John G Avildsen. With Jackson Beck, Pamela Gruen and Allen Garfield.
Initially banned by the BBFC for 1972 cinema release but it was later passed X after heavy cuts. The film was further cut for 18 rated VHS in 1987. Uncut and MPAA R rated in the US. Summary Notes
Private detective takes on a case and gets mixed up in murder, sex and blackmail. Cry Uncle! is a real curiosity piece...a raunchy, sex- and naked body-filled detective yarn with decent acting, some
genuine laughs, some amazingly tasteless scenes, and one brief bit of hardcore porn involving a 65-year-old man. Oh, yeah, and it was directed by the guy who would eventually bring you Rocky and The Karate Kid.
