This version promises a little harder edge with extra material that could not be included in the US MPAA PG-13 rated Theatrical Version. The BBFC notes that this version contains a little more strong language (3 'fucks' instead of 1). The BBFC also
notes gore, which it did not do for the Theatrical Version. Still fits in a BBFC 12 rating though.
The extended cut contains both a whole new sequence and an extended version of another. The first comes after
Logan and Mariko (Tao Okamoto) have checked into the Love Hotel. In the original cut Wolverine has a dream about Jean (Famke Janssen) while standing guard and passes out, but in the unrated one he is accosted by a group of Yakuza and nearly gets
stun-gunned to death before getting saved by Mariko's knife-throwing skills. The extended scene, meanwhile, is a longer version of the ninja battle in the third act. Not only does the scene have Wolverine performing much better in the fight, it also has
Yukio (Rila Fukushima) getting in on the action.
In addition there's more blood spatter throughout the film's fight scenes and more baddies vapourised into a bloody mist.
This longer version really is quite a lot more brutal and bloody than the original one, which already was quite explicit for its PG-13 rating. Digital blood was used quite often to make scenes harder, other scenes feature
more action, blood and gore in general.
The additional action and violence are not the only alteration, of course. Wolverine's vocabulary is more explicit.
The Extended Cut certainly does its part to
improve the film.

In addition to the 6 seconds of visual cuts, substitutions were also made by darkening some shots and by reducing the sound levels on others.
When we make cuts, people think in terms of 'snip-snip', but these days, with digital, there are so many other ways you can make a film more acceptable. You can suggest soundtrack changes and things like colour darkening, putting
shadows in to obscure the more gory elements of a scene." So in The Woman in Black, we didn't hear the crack of the woman's neck as she hung from a noose – and, thanks to the cunning use of shadows, neither did we see her face.
From the 2012 BBFC Annual Report: Top film of 2012 for whinges
The film generating the majority of public feedback in 2012 was The Woman in Black. The film generated £21m in UK cinemas in 2012, making it
the second most popular British film of 2012 after Skyfall. 134 of these cinema-goers complained that the film was too dark and unsettling for a 12A certificate. Some said the sense of threat, coupled with the theme of supernatural deaths of children in
the film, was too disturbing for young audiences.
Women Behind Bars is a 1975 French/Belgian sexploitation film by Jess Franco With Lina Romay, Martine Stedil and Nathalie Chape.

Summary Review: Naked Isn't a Problem
A small-time hood
attracts the attention of the law with an insurance scam and diamond theft, but things become even more interesting when his moll murders him and is slammed behind bars where she faces all manner of electric shock treatments to various parts of her
anatomy.
There's tons of nudity, a lesbian scene and a couple torture sequences but this is still fairly clear for a Franco WIP film.
Romay has never been accused of being a good actress but she fits her role
fine here and she's certainly cute so watching her naked isn't a problem.
Women in Cages is a 1971 US/Philippines prison film by Gerado de Leon. With Judith Brown, Roberta Collins and Jennifer Ga.

Summary Review: Tropical Prison
Set in a nameless Latin American prison but filmed in the Filipino jungle. The film featured a mixed cast of local Philippines and American exploitation
regulars, but it's remembered as the first high-profile role for the later Queen of Blaxploitation, Pam Grier.
Grier plays the sadistic warden, a pot-smoking lesbian with a fully-equipped torture chamber (including a
guillotine!). The New Fish , a ditzy blonde ex-stripper called Alabama, has taken the heroin possession rap for her pimp boyfriend. She knows too much, so the pimp blackmails her cellmates to execute her.
A
competent and well-shot entry in the tropical prison genre from Filipino director Gerry De Leon, it places the embittered ex-addict and prostitute Grier in the position of slave owner, watching her white charges toiling away in the plantation with
obvious ironic glee.

Summary Review: For the sex & gore crowd
This sexploiter was
quite clearly made for the sex & gore crowd. Thus we have here several beautiful women (nude most of the time), who are imprisoned and raped and tortured and raped and killed and raped.
We normally
criticise movie characters as two-dimensional when they are underwritten - here even "one-dimensional" would give too much credit
Compared to other Franco flicks the cinematography is exceptionally good and at times even inspirational.
The sets are fine too, although it has to be said that torturing instruments that are meant to aid interrogation completely fail their purpose if they almost instantaneously kill.

UK: Banned by the BBFC for strong sexualised violence and an under 18 actress in sex scenes:
2004 Anchor Bay Video
The BBFC commented:
Women in Cellblock 9 contains many sequences depicting the abuse, torture and humiliation of naked women. These sequences were found to be in conflict with the Board's published classification
guidelines, which prohibit scenes that eroticise or endorse sexual assault. The Board's strict stance on titillatory sexual violence is supported both by public opinion and by a large body of media effects research.
In addition,
The Protection of Children Act, as amended by the Sexual Offences Act 2003, makes the distribution and showing of indecent photographs of a child under the age of 18 a criminal offence. One of the lead actresses in Women in Cellblock 9 was just over 16
at the time the film was made. The Board was in no doubt that many of the sexualised scenes involving her would therefore be illegal. Although the amendment will not take effect until May 2004, the BBFC cannot classify material which would be in
circulation in breach of the Act.; The Board considered the option of cutting the work. However, the quantity of scenes involving eroticised sexual violence, combined with the indecent photographs of a person under 18, meant that cuts were not a viable
option.
Women in Love is a 1969 UK romance by Ken Russell. Starring Alan Bates, Oliver Reed and Glenda Jackson.

Summary Notes
The battle of the sexes and relationships among the elite of
Britian's industrial Midlands in the 1920s. Gerald Crich and Rupert Berkin are best friends who fall in love with a pair of sisters Gudrun, a sculptress and Ursula Brangwen, a schoolteacher. Rupert marries Ursula, Gerald begins a love affair with Gudrun,
and the foursome embarks upon a Swiss honeymoon. But the relationships take markedly different directions, as Russell explores the nature of commitment and love. Rupert and Ursula learn to give themselves to each other; the more withdrawn Gerald cannot,
finally, connect with the demanding and challenging Gudrun.

From IMDb:
The nude wrestling scene posed problems for UK censor John Trevelyan who was concerned by the homoerotic undertones. The film was only passed after Ken Russell made some edits to the original print to reduce full-length shot of Gerald standing
motionless before the wrestling begins and to darken shots of the wrestling itself.
The sex scenes between Gerald and Gudrun were also reduced on the censor's request.
The male wrestling scene was a British censorship milestone. It was the first to show full frontal male nudity, albeit reduced by the censor.

The video release appears to have been edited for language as well. Early in the film, when Michael Douglas is picking up his editor at the airport,
he turns to him and says "you're fucked-up" but an overdubbing has him saying "you're high." Near the end of the film, when Robert Downey Jr. is chasing Vernon with his car, Vernon says "Motherfucker" but this was overdubbed
to "man" for the video release.

The uncut cinema release was one of the very few examples of hardcore

Summary Review: Unique and warped
A dense film that cuts up footage of a primary plot of two young Yugoslavian girls, one
a politico and the other a sexpot, and an affair with a visiting Russian skater. Mixing metaphors of Russia's relationship with Yugoslavia, intercut with footage and interviews with Wilhelm Reich and Al Goldstein of Screw magazine. The film applies
Reich's theories of Orgone energy and analogies of Stalinism as a form of Freudian sexual repression.
What makes W.R. such a unique and warped bird of art is how it challenges the viewer, provokes fully if not discussion then some
kind of collision of intellectual and visceral reaction for those who at least meet the filmmaker halfway. Once in a while frustrating, but never ever boring, W.R. is a cinematic shock from a go-for-broke iconoclast.
