Thundercrack! is a 1975 US adult comedy by Curt McDowell
Starring Marion Eaton, George Kuchar and Melinda McDowell
 A cult film that was notably unreleased in the UK for many years except on the
cinema club circuit. The film was finally BBFC 18 rated without cuts for 2024 release. The BBFC noted that it contains strong real sex. Uncut and MPAA Unrated in the US.
Summary Review
With a killer gorilla on the loose, a group of strangers find themselves stranded at a remote mansion of a grieving madwoman one dark and stormy night. They indulge in swapping bizarre personal backstories - and bodily fluids.
Imagine yourself a typical low-budget horror opening, in which random people gather around an old dark mansion during a nightly thunderstorm. They're all slightly eccentric characters with unusual backgrounds and/or odd
personalities and, naturally, the female owner of the mansion is the queen of all madness. Her guests soon begin to physically experiment with themselves and each other and these sexual outbursts become gradually odder.
Masturbation and ordinary hetero-sex at first, but before you properly realize it; you're up to your neck in gay sex, voyeurism, sex with peculiar attributes and even bestiality. This movie is available in two versions,
but I can safely say already that even the cut Theatrical Version (120 minutes instead of 150) is more than weird enough for every avid fan of offbeat cinema on this planet. Versions

Kamikaze Hearts is a 1986 US drama by Juliet Bashore
Starring Tigr, Sharon Mitchell and Jon Martin
A very short version was released for 18 rated cinema release in 1990. A longer
version with real sex was passed 18 in 2023. Uncut and MPAA Unrated in the US.
UK: Passed 18 uncut for strong real sex, nudity, abusive behaviour :
The BBFC commented: There is a scene of strong real sex in which two actors participate in unsimulated cunnilinghus whilst shooting a pornographic film.
Promotional Material
Alternately distressing, instructive, contestable, and fascinating, Juliet Bashore's quasi-documentary plunge into the 1980s porn industry takes an unsparing look at issues of misogyny, drug abuse, and exploitation
via the story of two women--the naive newcomer Tigr and her partner, the magnetic, imperious porn veteran Sharon Mitchell -- caught in a toxic romance. By turns mesmerizing and unsettling, Kamikaze Hearts is both
a fascinating record of pre-gentrification San Francisco's X-rated underground and an intense, searing love story. The film offers a disturbing glimpse of the modification of bodies, feelings, and lives. Presented in a new 2K restoration from the
original 16mm A/B camera negatives, Kamikaze Hearts has been restored by Kino Lorber in collaboration with the Outfest UCLA Legacy Project at the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Extras
