dam so what movies do you know off hand that have cuts, alot of these companies claim to have them completly unedited

reply

A lot of the classics were heavily cut when they were first released in this region. One example was E tu vivrai nel terrore - L'aldilà (1981)A.K.A. The Beyond by Lucio Fulci. When it first was released, it was released as Seven Doors of Death and was edited quite a bit. Since that time, it has been released uncut.

As for which ones have cuts I don't know for sure. The best way to find out if a movie is uncut or not for me is to hit the Internet. Sorry I can't be more help than that.

Slave To The Cannibal God AKA Mountain Of The Cannibal God

I've yet to track down a REAL unedited version. The most I've gotten a hold of has minor cuts. I forgot the exact length of the cuts.

Now they are, but a lot of the classics were originally heavily cut. I agree that the UK is a lot worse than what the US has done. I still think it is funny that the UK had a video nasties list.

Yup, we can thank the British press for that, the Daily Mirror in particular. Hysteria has ruined many a good horror film in the U.K. The worst part is, until the films are re-submitted to the BBFC and then re-released we Brits are stuck with heavily censored films. God bless E-bay!

The UK is a lot better now when it comes to the censorship of graphic gore,virtually anything can get by the BBFC now.When it comes to sexual violence & animal cruelty though that's still a controversial issue in the UK and will invariably be cut.That's why stuff like Cannibal Holocaust & I Spit on your Grave will alway's be censored over here,and that's why multi-region dvd players and the internet is so popular in the UK.
