Yes I agree there, Angel. House On The Edge would be the most problematic even today. I can't see them cutting Maniac now though. In the two currently cut scenes no rape, binding or sexually graphic footage is involved. I have to be honest (prepare for the arrows) and say I prefer the edited version, simply because the strangulation scene sends me to sleep.

I think Tombs would pass for a similar reason. It isn't a pleasure rape or a graphic one in terms of gore/torture. It's also quite a pointless scene but there we go.

Last Cannibal World is one of my favourites of this genre (apart from that obligatory repulsive crocodile scene) . Simply because of the excellent acting of Massimo Foschi. I normally despise rape scenes but I wouldn't have cut this one because it was important to the character's 'dehumanisation'. The fact that Me Me Lai is anally raped by Foschi (in the cut version he simply punches her and the scene ends) would understandably be a BBFC problem though.
