Well when we picked our initial batch of films there was almost universal agreement that none would get though uncut but we figured you have to break some eggs to make an exploitation omelette...

We wouldn't try and put through something we thought had no chance on getting through uncut but there has to be some risk - it's just trying to be calculated about it. We can ask the BBFC informally but there's no guarantee that will translate into the decision we want. Our problem unlike the majors is once we've submitted a film by which time you've bought it and paid for it to all go ahead we have to release it to recoup - we can't just sit on it or it would kill us.

Interestingly NYR is uncut but has sold nearly twice as many as the next nearest title and we've not hidden the fact it's uncut - in fact we've even managed to make it sound more uncut than it is!

There are a lot of questions I would still like to ask them today but they are very slow in relpying these days.
I can only assume their policy on certain elements of hardcore has also changed. There were scenes in Baise Moi that I never thought I'd ever see in an 18-rated film. I wonder what the average film fan would find more shocking. Venus In Furs or Baise Moi (even in it's barely cut UK version).

The BBFC are still slow to reply to me too.

Isn't that cos it's actually cut? (though only just).

aS I'VE SAID BEFORE,THE PLASTIC NIP SLICING DOESN'T DETRACT ANY,and it's the crispest looking transfer yetSo good i sold my uncut AB version for a daft amount on amazon
See,i done my own little bbfc excercise,watched both versions,and as i said above,the nip scene isn't shocking,it's phoney looking and ludicrous....the way Shameless have intercut the bird screaming with Hedley in the phonebox is actually more disturbing.......imagination....what you thought you've seen?

It is uncut apart from that scene - we only cut what the BBFC asked for - not a second more - and we never would!

Almar, if you picked up the rights to a movie that had been passed by the BBFC for its previous holders uncut, say 10 years ago, do you have to resubmit it again as the new owner or does the initial classification stand.?
Also if the previous classification stand s, do you have to notify the BBFC of the re rerelease .?
Not important, Just curious.
