Though Dawn Mauer was used as a body double for all nude scemes featuring Lolita (Dominique Swain), director Adrian Lyne bowed to public pressure and cut all of them from the film for its U.S. release. They reportedly exist in its original European

The BBFC explained:
After careful consideration the Board has determined that these two scenes, which are more explicit versions of scenes present in the feature version of Lolita, are not suitable for
classification at any category. They are NOT present on the Region 1 DVD.
The Comic Book and The Lake Point Cottages both contain strong depictions of sexual conduct between the adult Humbert Humbert and the 14
year old Lolita. In the case of the feature version of Lolita, the lack of specific sexual detail within the overall context of the film allowed the Board to classify Lolita in the adult category. In the case of these two works, however, we are presented
with out-of-context sexualised images of an underaged girl. These scenes both contain images of sexual nudity and behaviour which were not present in the feature version and which are made even more problematic when presented in isolation or out of
context as here.
In The Comic Book, we see a brief shot of Lolita's bare breasts (not present in the feature version) as well as lingering close up shots of Lolita's legs, caressed by Humbert. The atmosphere of
the scene is highly sexually charged. In The Lake Point Cottages, we once again have an extended version of a scene passed in the feature version of the film. As with The Comic Book, we are presented with shots of Lolita's breasts and torso and a brief
shot of pubis as her knickers are pulled down. These shots were not present in the version of the film presented to the Board for classification and would not have been passed had they been included.
Our main
concern with these highly eroticised scenes is that they mightinvite feelings of arousal towards a child. We have a particular concern in the context of DVD extras where the scenes in question can be readily accessed and replayed at any speed. The
obvious sexualisation of a 14 year old girl with the use of such provocative detail must raise concerns about the potential misuse of this material by those predisposed to seek illegal sexual encounters. There is, in the Board's view, a serious
possibility of 'harm' being caused to some individuals, and potentially through their actions, to society more widely.
The Board has therefore refused cetificates to these two works.
The BBFC cut the 2009 cinema release by 26s for a 12A certificate:
Company chose to make cuts to achieve a 12A classification. Cuts made to remove all sight of drug preparation (substance being heated in spoon) and of implied drug injection into arm. An uncut 15 classification was

v London Fields
- 2015 UK / USA crime mystery thriller by Mathew Cullen.
London Fields is a 2015 UK / USA crime mystery thriller by Mathew Cullen.
Starring Jaimie Alexander, Cara Delevingne and Amber Heard.
The film makers fell out about payments, references to Islam and a faked nude scene with Amber Heard. Mathew Cullen and Amber Heard were not happy over changes made by the producers after the film was completed. These arguments seem to
have led to the creation of a Director's Cut and a Producer's Cut.

Summary Review: A great start to the series
This is the 1st film in the original series of six. However for some releases parts 1 &
2 are combined into one episode, Shogun Assassin. It is generally held that it is better to watch the series in its original 6 parts.
The story of a Ronin (masterless samurai) who wanders the countryside of Japan with his small
child, having various adventures.
An original take on Samurai movies with the main character carrying around his infant son in an armed and dangerous baby cart. His infant son even helps him in battle sometime. No big surprise
that this all is being based on a manga-series, by Kazuo Koike, who also contributed to this movie its script.
The violence is deliberately over-the-top and the entire series is well known for featuring fountains of blood,
whenever someone gets struck down or gets a limb or head cut off.
The movie is good looking with fine directing and is a great start to the series.

Summary Review: An astonishing, great film
This is the 3rd film in the original series of six. However for some releases parts 1 & 2 are combined into one
episode, Shogun Assassin, and then this film becomes the 2nd in a series of five.
In this episode Ogami Itto volunteers to be tortured by Yakuza to save a prostitute and is hired by their leader to kill an evil chamberlain.
An astonishing, great film. Wakayama Tomisaburo does not just act, he embodies. To me, this amazing actor is Lone Wolf of the Kazure Okami comic book series (itself a masterpiece). I can never get enough of looking at him.
Most people focus on the violence of these films, which is done beautifully, but for me, the most important thing is the simple, pure, and usually wordless characterization of the relationship between father and son.

The Long Goodbye is a 1973 USA crime mystery thriller by Robert Altman. With Elliott Gould, Nina van Pallandt and Sterling Hayden.
Cut by the BBFC for an X rated 1973 cinema release but uncut on home video. Uncut and R rated in the US.
Promotional Material
When private eye Philip Marlowe (Elliott Gould) is
visited by an old friend, this sets in train a series of events in which he s hired to search for a missing novelist (Sterling Hayden) and finds himself on the wrong side of vicious gangsters.
So far so faithful to Raymond
Chandler, but Robert Altman s inspired adaptation of the writer s most personal novel takes his legendary detective and relocates him to the selfish, hedonistic culture of 1970s Hollywood, where he finds that his old-fashioned notions of honour and
loyalty carry little weight, and even his smoking (universal in film noir) is now frowned upon.
Widely misunderstood at the time, The Long Goodbye is now regarded as one of Altman s best films and one of the outstanding American films
of its era, with Gould s shambling, cat-obsessed Marlowe ranking alongside more outwardly faithful interpretations by Humphrey Bogart and Robert Mitchum.

Cut in the US for the MPAA R rated Theatrical Version. There is also an

Summary Notes : Good amount of shocks
Based on his short story The Last Illusion , Clive Barker helmed this adaptation entitled Lord of
Illusions , and offers up a good amount of shocks, scares, gore, and a near excellent plot
Scott Bakula stars as private detective Harry D'amour, and he gets involved with a bizarre case involving a magician (Kevin J.
O'Connor) who years before had killed prophet and mentor Nix (played to perfection by Daniel Von Bargen). However, Nix has seemingly been resurrected, and he and his followers have plans on the destruction of the world.
There are some plot holes and now and then some crummy acting (courtesy of the beautiful Famke Janssen), but for the most part Lord of Illusions is a great horror film from one of the great masters of horror.

According to the Telegraph the BBFC are understood to have been so concerned about the film that it was reviewed at the highest levels and suicide prevention experts were consulted before it was approved for an 18 certificate for strong
bloody violence, gore, suicide.
The BBFC further commented at a board meeting:
There was a viewing of Lords of Chaos (2018), a film about the Norwegian black metal band, Mayhem, inspired by the late 1990s book, Lords of
Chaos: The Bloody Rise of the Satanic Metal Underground .
The film includes a drawn out suicide scene in which a young man cuts his wrists and then slashes his throat, before shooting himself in the head. Despite bloody detail
the scene is not glamorised, on the contrary, it reflects his nihilistic and satanic views and the harm they bring. There are also scenes of strong bloody violence, including a homophobic attack. Although it is detailed, sadistic and aggravated by the
discriminatory motivation, it too reflects on the negative character of the band member carrying out the crime and is in no way glamorised. The same is true of a later murder.
It is expected that the film will attract some
controversy, as it has done elsewhere. But the stronger moments individually, and the film taken as a whole, is agreed at 18 for the strong bloody violence, gore, and the scene of suicide.
Despite being shown after 11pm they made cuts to the suicide scene. Predictably they cut the method of slitting up the arms instead of across the wrists.

Welles.
Promotional Material
An interdimensional portal exists between Herk Harvey's CARNIVAL OF SOULS and Doris Wishman's BAD GIRLS GO TO HELL ... and it's called LOVE AFTER
DEATH . This is the story of Montel -- a sexually frustrated creep who seeks revenge on his cheating wife after she accidentally buries him alive. Produced somewhere in South America and remixed for American audiences by New York producer Charles
Abrams, LOVE AFTER DEATH is a joyously deranged gem that features equal doses of gothic horror, sleazy melodrama, and absurdist experimentation. After watching this movie, you'll never look at Edgar Allan Poe's "The Premature Burial" the
same way again.

Summary Review: Don't Take Seriously
Set in a Nazi "Love Camp" that services the needs of front line officers. The video packaging claims that this film is based on fact, but
the plot is so far fetched you would have a hard time believing that. Two young WAC officers go undercover as POW's in the prison camp hoping to get some information from a scientist that's being held there. Unfortunately things go wrong and they end up
overstaying their welcome and being subjected to the same indignities as the other inmates.
The violence and sexploitation are best taken as tongue-in-cheek. By enjoying the exploits of the two WAC officers, Maria Lease and
Kathy Williams, the movie is quite entertaining.
Both Lease and Williams could pass as Playboy Playmates. Both girls have no less than four scenes each were their wares are sampled - talk about copping a feel, these horny
Nazis devour these two toothsome actresses!
Love Camp 7 is a US film, from 1969, in which female agents are sent undercover into a Nazi prison camp where female prisoners are sexually abused, raped and tortured by soldiers. It
was previously refused a classification for DVD release in 2002. The present submission is for distribution on VOD.
The BBFC's Classification Guidelines state that We may refuse to classify content which makes rape or other
non-consensual sexually violent behaviour look appealing or acceptable, reinforces the suggestion that victims enjoy such behaviour, or invites viewer complicity in such behaviour. They also state that As a last resort, the BBFC may refuse to classify a
work, in line with the objective of preventing non-trivial harm risks to potential viewers and, through their behaviour, to society. We may do so, for example, where a central concept of the work is unacceptable, such as a sustained focus on sexual rape,
other non-consensual sexually violent behaviour or sadistic violence.
Because LOVE CAMP 7 is largely comprised of scenes of non consensual sexual activity, including rape, presented in a manner that is intended to arouse viewers,
its central concept is unacceptable and the sexually abusive material it contains too pervasive for cuts to be an effective solution.
Accordingly, the BBFC has refused classification to this work.
The film was recently submitted for
classification for VOD release. Given its status as a previously rejected work it was viewed by the entire Compliance team and certain members of the Policy team before referral to the Board.
The Board noted that there are a
number of prolonged scenes of non-consensual sexual activity, including rape, in Love Camp 7 , in many cases featuring a focus on female nudity. Such scenes are frequently gratuitous, both in terms of length and detail, going some way beyond what is
required by the narrative, and in some cases perpetuating harmful rape myths. These issues were considered in relation to the BBFC's 2019 Guidelines consultation, which found depictions of sexual violence to be of particular concern to the public.
The Board discussed the extent to which the film's datedness and risibility limits its impact, and considered the film's likely appeal and audience. It was observed that, while aspects of the film are dated, the sequences of sexual
violence and abuse are not. It was also noted that while the film is different in many respects to modern pornography, its close and repeated focus on nudity means the sequences of sexual violence and abuse still have the potential to arouse.
The Board concluded that because that as Love Camp 7 is largely comprised non-consensual sexual activity, including rape, presented in a manner that is intended to arouse viewers, its central concept is unacceptable and the sexually
abusive material too pervasive for cuts to be an effective solution. Accordingly, the Board agreed that the BBFC should refuse to classify Love Camp 7 .
UK: Banned by the BBFC for:
2002 Film 2000 DVD
The BBFC commented:
Love Camp 7 is an exploitation film set in a Nazi 'love camp' during the second World War. The film contains numerous scenes of women prisoners being abused, tortured and
humiliated by their Nazi captors. Indeed the whole purpose of the work is to invite male viewers to relish the spectacle of naked women being humiliated for their titillation. Love Camp 7 contains both eroticised depictions of sexual violence and
repeated association of sex with restraint, pain, and humiliation. These sequences were in clear contravention of the Board's strict policy on depictions of sexual violence, which prohibits scenes that eroticise or endorse sexual assault. The possibility
of cuts was considered. However, because the sexual violence runs throughout the work cutting was not considered to be a viable option.

Love Letters of a Portuguese Nun is a 1977 West Germany / Switzerland horror adventure drama by Jesús Franco (as Jess Franco). Starring Susan Hemingway, William Berger and Herbert Fux.

16-year-old Maria is forced into Serra D'Aires convent, secretly run by Satanists. Her confessor is in
collusion with the Mother Superior. Maria is tortured, forced into sex with men, women, and the horned Devil, and told that it's all a bad dream. She writes a letter to God, and a Knight rescues her, only to fall into the hands of the Inquisition, put on
the rack, and condemned to death like Joan of Arc.

The BBFC commented:
The cuts were Compulsory. Distributor was required to cut indecent images of a child under the terms of the Protection of Children Act 1978, and images of sexualised torture.
Resubmissions of old works highlighted the impact of the change in the definition of a child. Love Letters Of A Portuguese Nun featured sexualised nudity involving an actress who was under 18 at the time of filming. The BBFC judged
some of the images to be indecent and cuts were therefore made.
In summary:
All reference to Susan Hemingway's nakedness have been removed in their entirety, this includes the actual torture scenes.
Presumably the actress was over the age of consent though, so this falls under legal acts that are illegal to film.

Summary Review: Will You Love Me When I'm Dead

v Love Rites
- 1987 France mystery drama by Walerian Borowczyk.
Love Variations , one of the first British sex education films to show nudity in the UK, consisted entirely of alternating scenes of a family doctor showing diagrams of sex positions and
illustrative tableaux of posed figures faking coition in increasingly unlikely and back-breaking postures.
The producers, of course, stressed their good intentions to the censors. The press book for Love Variations stated,
a little disingenuously:
The film does not seek to entertain -- only to inform. The producers wish to point out that although the film is frank, comprehensive and explicit it will almost certainly prove
unrewarding to those looking for titillation or sensation and will be of interest only to those motivated by a sincere desire to be informed.
The BBFC, indecisive about how to treat sex education films,
accepted this but nevertheless at first rejected Love Variations on the splendidly perverse grounds that since the film was not entertaining it was unsuitable for cinemas, which were essentially places of entertainment.
When finally released, Love Variations smashed house records at the Jacey Tatler cinema in London,

Summary Review: Cult Following
In 1830, forty years to
the day since the last manifestation of their dreaded vampirism, the Karnstein heirs use the blood of an innocent to bring forth the evil that is the beautiful Mircalla - or as she was in 1710, Carmilla. The nearby Finishing School offers rich pickings
not only in in the blood of nubile young ladies but also with the headmaster who is desperate to become Mircalla's disciple.
Just when the Hammer Christopher Lee Dracula franchise began to run out of steam in the late
sixties, the company revved up its product by turning to Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla and filming several versions of the novel.
Lust is admittedly shaky in terms of script, and the ambiance is on and off (but wow is it
terrific when it's on). What makes this click with so many horror buffs, in particularly those who love lesbian vampire films, is the one-time star Yvette Stensgard, a gorgeous Scandinavian child-woman who looks absolutely innocent (particularly when her
eyes fetchingly cross), even the moment before she rips open the neck of her next victim. Lots of nudity, with nothing but blood covering her nubile body.
A genuine cult following has formed around this film because of
Stensgard's devastating charisma, which would never be properly employed again, by Hammer or any other company.
Lust For Freedom is a 1987 USA crime thriller by Eric Louzil. Starring Melanie Coll, William J Kulzer and Judi Trevor.

Summary Notes: A Turn Off
After her boyfriend is brutally murdered in a sting operation, special agent Gillian Kaites is implicated in the slaying and is sentenced to prison. While behind
bars, she discovers a shocking web of corruption and begins to plot a bloody revenge in this action and T & A filled Troma classic from director by Eric Louzil and producer by Lloyd Kaufman!
If you are looking for
something racy, race away from this. Poorly shot, poorly edited, poorly acted and just plain hard to watch. Sure this type of film is for turning your brain off, but the film itself is such a turn off the only thing to do is turn it off.
