From the director of The Skyhawk , Broken Oath and King Boxer , Jeong Chang-hwa's The Double Crossers is an action-packed revenge story produced by Golden Harvest, starring South Korean actor and martial artist Shin Il-ryong ( The Dragon Lives Again ) and featuring the legendary Sammo Hung ( The Magnificent Butcher ).

Following his late father's murder, police officer Detective Lung (Shin) discovers that both of his parents were involved in a smuggling ring -- and that his father was killed by its leader, a violent criminal now living in Hong Kong under the name Wang ( Chao Hsiung , The One-Armed Swordsman ). Determined to avenge his father's death, Lung resigns from the police force to take matters into his own hands. Teaming up with a smuggler who was once a close friend and partner-in-crime to his parents, Chang ( Chen Sing , The Chinese Boxer ), Lung heads for Hong Kong and sets about drawing Wang into a trap.

Following in the footsteps of Golden Harvest's earlier Bruce Lee vehicles, The Double Crossers was made in the years following Lee's death, when the company was in search of a new generation of martial arts stars. Eureka Classics is proud to present the film on Blu-ray in its worldwide debut from a brand new 2K restoration .

Caligula

Caligula is a 1979 Italy/US historical drama by Tinto Brass
Starring Malcolm McDowell, Peter O'Toole and Helen Mirren BBFC link 2020 IMDb

Originally cut in the UK and US for an 18 rated UK and R rated US theatrical release. There also exists Tinto Brass' Alternative Version which does not include the hardcore footage added by the producers. The full uncut version was passed 18 uncut for 2008 DVD. This full uncut version is MPAA Unrated in the US. The Hardcore Version was banned in Australia in 2010.

In 2018 Penthouse announced a plan running over a couple of years for a 4k restoration of the Tinto Brass version. However the bankruptcy of Penthouse may have put an end to the idea. In 2023 Dafthouse Films announced a new Producer's Cut (arrogantly labelled the Ultimate Cut) by Thomas Negovan. This will be reconstructed from previously unreleased footage and unpromisingly suggests that this will be a more 'civilised' take on the Caligula story.

Summary Notes

A dramatization of the ascent to Caesar and subsequent reign of Caligula, one of the most notorious leaders of ancient Rome. We see his ambition, his scheming, his perversion and decadence, his brutality and his lunacy.

US : Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:

From the BBFC:

In 2008, the full uncut version of Caligula was resubmitted to the BBFC for DVD release. The passage of nearly 30 years had significantly diminished the film's impact and after careful consideration it was decided that it could now be classified '18' uncut.

This decision accords with the BBFC Guidelines, which state that At '18', the BBFC's guideline concerns will not normally override the wish that adults should be free to chose their own entertainment, within the law.

Although there are scenes in Caligula that some people will find shocking, offensive or disgusting, the film does not contain any material that is illegal in terms of current UK law and nor does it contain any material that is likely to give rise to harm for adults audiences, most of whom will be well aware of its controversial reputation.

The DVD version was classified '18' uncut with the consumer advice Contains strong violence, sexual violence and strong real sex.

This version is perhaps is historically at the point where Bob Guccione edited together a version from the material directed by Tinto Brass but before he decided that it could be improved by adding hardcore footage.

UK: Passed X after about 11 minutes of cuts for:
  • 1982 Electric pre-cert VHS
  • 1980 cinema release

James Ferman commented in Photoplay:

Even before it could be considered for a certificate some 8.5 minutes had to be cut to make it legal. There are scenes of perverted violence that I wouldn't have thought would ever have been seen in this country, in clubs or anywhere else. A lot of the sex was just straight sex, but more explicit than has ever been passed here. They took out another 3 or 4 minutes and replaced it with lesser material to make it acceptable for the X certificate.

11 minutes of cuts including:

  • Views of Drusilla's vulva removed from several pints in the film
  • Sights of babies sucking phallic-shaped bottles removed
  • Much reduced scene of bootlace being tied around soldier's penis.
  • Hardcore action inserted into orgy scenes taken out
  • The sight of wine streaming out of soldier's bladder after being hacked with a sword removed.
  • Torture shots deleted, a stake into a vagina and several bloodied genitals.
  • Male blow job and masturbation deleted
  • Priestess bathing loses hardcore cunnilingus and insertion
  • Blood of recently ex virgin bride deleted as was greasing of the buttocks and suggestion of fisting for the similarly road tested bridegroom
  • A Lesbian scene lost all hardcore and explicit images
  • Death of Proculus lost a stabbing and the subsequent humiliation of being pissed on and castrated.
  • The sight of Caligula torturing a mouse was deleted.
