Much obliged, Vincenzo. Marks screencaps clearly show the dogs muzzled. Something that probably wouldn't have shown up on VHS or TV. Re Holocaust, I always hoped that the animal-cruelty-free version would be released separately (was it the Grindhouse release?), but I believe it's only available as an extra with the full uncut version. I know all the animal cruelty is cut from all UK prints, but so is all the cannibalism apparently, which makes it a pretty pointless purchase. I know what you're all thinking... he's worried about a couple of dogs biting each other, but quite happy to watch human beings stab, chop, & dismember one another SORRY, DOUBLE POSTED. I haven't even started on the Stella's yet either! Last edited by scribbler; 14th November 2009 at 11:20 AM. Reason: Double posted |

Vipco's Cannibal Ferox is pre-edited and pretty much misses everything. Including cannibals. Quite a few people feel the same way, Scribbler. At the end of the day the violence and gore is simply makeup. Animal cruelty is very much real alas, though thankfully Death Hunt is definitely faked. |

But, like you say, clumsy editing sometimes make the cuts rather obvious and jarring. Smoother editing would be welcome.

I agree too, D. Under current BBFC policy they have no choice but to cut footage like this though. However, the Animals Act appears to be becoming slowly 'restructured' (even Pink Flamingos had its infamous chicken scene passed intact recently though the actual DVD release was cancelled), so who knows how long this policy will continue to be maintained.

In an interview with DVD World, the guys from Severin said the BBFC have no legal basis fo cutting animal cruelty.

The Cinematograph Films (Animals) Act 1937 Severin can say what they like. If the BBFC 'have no legal basis for cutting animal cruelty' then they could be sued and defeated. They haven't been. |

If anything the addition of the Cruel Cinema documentary especially to the westerns that the BBFC had to cut would've been a good idea.it would highlight the cruel techniques used (even today in China & India) at the time & explain they have no place in a civilised society.As mentioned by removing the cruelty they are letting directors & producers off the hook.These things went on for years whether people like it or not & still do in many countries.
