Which Version Do You Prefer?
The Ogriginal Banned Version made in 1975 with David Threlfall as Archer or the more commonly seen, 1979 Theatrical version?
I find both work great as a double bill but the idea of Carlin almost forcing the young lad from Emmerdale to sleep with him affected some of his heroicness for mer. It also made the scene where the rape victim tries to confide in Carlin so much colder. I think the film works in a more darker cynical way but ultimately I'm glad they left it out the Theatrical remake. I did prefer the way he holds onto Phil Daniels giving him two whacks with the snooker ball sock instead of one. I wish I could combine parts of both films as some scenes were more striking and powerful in either side.
