Director's Cut
Director's Cut
| 
Italy | Italy: The Italian language Director's Cut runs with an extra 11 minutes of
uncontentious plot. From article from dvdcompare.net The principal difference is the opening sequence, which is
longer (look at Jack Elem's game with the fly), and the closing is also longer (the panoramic shoot is complete before the titles C'era Una Volta Il West appear). Another scene, which is missing from all European cuts, is in this one: After the station
scene, Harmonica holds his arm because of the terrible pain in it, and returns on his horse.

Pin-Pon's mother and aunt about the piano in the barn: who delivered it on a November night in 1955? Why does she want to know, and what does it have to do with her mother's sorrows, her father's injury, this quick marriage, and the last name on her

100 Tears is a 2007 USA horror by Marcus Koch.
Starring Georgia Chris, Joe Davison
and Raine Brown.
Exists in an Original Version and an Extended Director's Cut. Never released in the UK. Summary Notes After being accused of crimes he did not commit, a lonely circus performer exacts
his revenge on those who unjustly condemned him. The act sparks something inside of him which he cannot stop and now, years later, his inner-demons have truly surfaced. Part urban legend, part tabloid sensationalism... he is now an unstoppable murderous
juggernaut, fueled only by hate. This film stands out for having one of the most entertaining and brutal opening 15 minutes. It is a montage of gruesome killing and the audience gets to see every gory moment; there is no fast
cutting away at the crucial moment. The only downside to having such a cool beginning is that the film shows its hand early which means suspense goes out of the window as the viewer is desensitised from this point in. The
film then has to keep feeding visual candy in the form of gore. It succeeds well; this film must have one of the highest body counts for a slasher movie

Banned by the BBFC for 1965 cinema release. Later cut by the BBFC for an X
rated cinema release in 1968. Uncut and BBFC 15 rated for UK home video. Uncut and MPAA Unrated in the US. Summary Review After being forcefully inducted as a soldier into war in
14th century Japan, his wife and mother remain living in a swamp. They eke out their living by ambushing worn-out warriors, killing them and selling their belongings to a greedy merchant. The woman comes to mistrust her daughter-in-law who has coupled up
with a deserter, and begins to wear a facial mask she has taken from a slain samurai. Soon the mask will not come off again. In this disguise she is at first taken for a demon by her daughter. The ensuing drama is a tale of their
sexual tension in the high summer heat, which is exemplified by the swaying of the reeds/grass, the faster the reeds blow in the wind the higher the sexual tension. Shindo also uses Black and White to stunning effect at a time
when it was probably easier to film in colour. This is a Cinematic Masterpiece!

has had his minute long segment removed. The cuts are obvious and the scene looks choppy.
- The final showdown between Dacascos and the main bad guy (Paco Christian Prieto) is missing a number of martial arts moves, including repeated kicks,
punches and a headbutt. This last cut is particularly obvious.

1990 18 rated cinema and 1991 VHS release. The uncut International Version was passed 18 by the BBFC for 2002 DVD and is MPAA Unrated in the US. Summary Review A young opera singer (Betty) gets her big
chance when the previous star of a production of Verdi's Macbeth is run over by a car. Convinced the opera is bad luck she accepts, and becomes the target (in Argento's unmistakable style) of a psychopath - a man she has been dreaming of since childhood.
One of Argento's most dizzying works but also one of his most enjoyable. This being Argento's ninth giallo, he knew all the conventions inside out, so he plays with them mercilessly, using flashbacks, jump
cuts, juxtapositions in a captivating way.

Notes Charthurst Green, Kent, 1966. Pauline Cox accompanies Mike Robins to a village cricket match in which he is playing, but becomes bored and wanders away. She fetches up at the local railway halt, where she is
first entertained to tea by the garrulous, hunchbacked station keeper, then upset by the intrusion of the latter's assistant Ewen, who proceeds to kill a rabbit in her presence. Making her way back to the match, Pauline is waylaid by the simple-minded
Ewen as she crosses an apple orchard; when his advances become violent, she tries to fight him off and he strangles her. That evening, the hunchback discovers Ewen with Pauline's body in the shack where he lives, and helps him to bury the corpse in the
orchard. Later, however, Ewen inadvertently betrays himself: the body is disinterred by the police and Ewen breaks down hysterically. Years later, the hunchback, who has disavowed Ewen, encourages the friendship of another village youth. Peter Jessop's
carefully textured camera work ...

movie for a few reasons. As stated above, the sex scenes are among the best ever filmed. It is also novel to see a film about a man who is actually obsessed about his own wife. I personally could identify with Banderas in his willingness to give up
everything for woman he knows he cannot trust. Heck, it happens to the best of us. |

The Other Hell is a 1981 Italy horror thriller by Bruno Mattei (as Stefan Oblowsky). Starring Franca Stoppi, Carlo De Mejo and Francesca Carmeno.
Cut by the BBFC for 1981 X rated cinema release and 1995 18 rated VHS.
Uncut and MPAA Unrated in the US. Promotional Material At the peak of his '80s excess, Italian sleaze maestro Bruno Mattei using the alias Stefan Oblowsky stunned audiences with this
Nunsploitation shocker about a series of brutal murders in a depraved convent. And while his cinematic legacy may remain controversial, Mattei delivers a surprisingly stylized yet undeniably blasphemous orgy of stabbings, stigmata, Satanism, violence and
graphic savagery that ranks among his very best. Versions

The Other Side Of Madness - 1971 USA crime drama by Frank Howard
The Other Side Of Madness is a 1971 USA crime drama by Frank Howard
Starring Brian Klinknett,Erica Bigelow,Paula Shannon
Banned by the BBFC for a 1983 cinema release. It was released on UK pre cert VHS though, but has not been released in the UK since. Uncut and MPAA X rated in the US but later R rated. Promotional Material
The Other Side of Madness (1971) returns nearly 50 years after its initial release! An avant-garde retelling of the infamous Manson Murders, The Other Side of Madness brings audiences closer to the events than most
filmmakers have dared to go, with real life footage of Spahn Ranch and music performed by Charles Manson. Directed by Frank Howard and produced by Wade Williams, this hypnotic film served as one of the first Helter Skelter recreations, filmed so close to
the time of the events that Manson and his followers had yet to be sentenced for the vicious crimes.

| UK: Banned by the BBFC:
Comment: It's a reconstruction of the Manson "family" murders 'in realistic detail', to quote the sleeve. It's not very violent at all and could easily be cut today. It was rejected
for largely political reasons within the BBFC. It's actually a rather good film.

The Other Woman is a 2014 USA comedy by Nick Cassavetes.
MPAA Appeal In the US the film was Rated R for some sexual references. The distributors were not pleased and appealed the decision hoping for a PG-13. They won their case and the film was reclassified PG-13 for mature thematic
material, sexual references and language. The BBFC Insight (for an uncut 12A Theatrical release) reveals that the film has 4 uses of strong language, 3 more then the usual maximum limit for a US MPAA PG-13 rating. Presumably the reason for the
initial R rating.

Out for Justice is a 1991 USA crime action thriller drama by John Flynn.
With
Steven Seagal, William Forsythe, Jerry Orbach.
The film was originally cut for an MPAA R rating in the US and these cuts have persisted into all VHS, DVD and Blu-ray releases since. No further BBFC cuts required for an 18 rated cinema release in 1991, but the BBFC cut the follow up
18 rated VHS video for violence. The BBFC cuts were waived in 1990 for DVD Summary Review: Martial arts bar room brawl Brooklyn cop Gino Felino receives a phone call alerting him that his best friend
Bobby Lupo has been shot dead in broad daylight on 18th Avenue in front of his wife Laurie Lupo and his two kids by drug kingpin Richie Madano, who has been Gino and Bobby's enemy since childhood. As Gino is hunting Madano down, Gino discovers the motive
behind Bobby's murder. This is when Gino's hunt for Madano leads to the showdown of a lifetime. With this entry Steven Seagal and director John Flynn delivered one of the most enjoyable action thrillers from the past 15 years. Out
For Justice also show cases one of the best martial arts bar room brawl fight scenes ever put to film. Seagal in his day was hugely popular simply because his movies were violent and he was enjoyable to watch as he snapped arms, legs and anything else
that came his way.

The BBFC cuts were:
- The pre-credits sequence showing Gino (Seagal) beating-up the pimp is missing (9 secs) of Gino smashing the pimp's head through the side window of his car and throwing him over some trash cans.
- The deli ambush is missing a single close-up
shot of Gino pinning a thug's hand to the wall with a meat cleaver (1 sec). Resulting in the rearrangement of footage to accommodate the edit.
- The fight in the pool hall has lost (8 secs) of Gino wrapping-up a cue-ball in his handkerchief - the
BBFC clearly trying to disguise this makeshift weapon - resulting in the loss of the following dialogue: ...there's only two things stopping you - fear and common sense...and I'm gonna cut your fuckin' head off
- The raid on Gino's home
has been cut, deleting (7 secs) of Gino wrestling with an attacker and shooting him point blank in the head.
- The final showdown in the kitchen between Gino and Richie (William Forsythe) is missing (26 secs). Gone is the sequence in which Richie
attacks Gino with a knife, only to have his wrist snapped, then a rolling pin, which Gino takes away and proceeds to club him with, after putting Richie's head through a window.
An alternatively edited version has been shown on Sky and Channel 5 which included all of the above footage. However, this was done at the expense of other cuts. |

bondage photo next to a telephone, and 11 seconds in which the killer puts a carrot into a victim's mouth.
