That scene alone should cover the running time of cuts...and the movie still works fine without it IMO.
I was disappointed by this one. After years of reading what a 'sicko' it was, when I finally watched the uncut Anchor Bay release I found it remarkably tame. Not a bad film, but I was expecting something more disturbing. 'Women of Cell Block 9' is Franco's best WIP flick! That one really delivers the goods.
