Banned as a nasty since 1984, now available for the 1st time.. and similar phrases like that.
I was also mainly refering to their 90's add campaign for their Cult Classics range when full page adds in Video World were worded to make you think the films were uncut.
One of VIPCO's favourite terms was' Passed with NO further cuts by the BBFC. or Previously Banned, Now Available for the 1ST Time. or This Version has been Passed Uncut By the BBFC.
All HINTNG at uncut but never saying it, some even telling you its cut but in away making you think the opposite.
I was only saying how clever VIPCO were with wording.
Thats all I meant.
All I was saying is now they could make a film SEEM uncut with clever wording While saying it was actually cut with the THIS VERSION HAS BEEN HAS BEEN PASSED UNCUT BY THE BBFC ( Bloody moon Cult Classics) but not saying the version was pre cut.
The phrases they used to sell the film all HINTED at it being complete while they were actually saying it was cut.
STONEVISION who came up with the 'MORE GORE' slogan also had ORIGINAL VERSION, on the first release of ISOYG, which could easily be mistaken by non horror fans as uncut especially as it said previously banned beside it.
Im sorryfor my poor posting skill.
I just meant how slogans can give the impression that a films uncut.
I hope i've made it clear what I was trying to say in the 1st place, as it seems I wasn't putting it across right.
It seemed like it was pick on vipco (me) week for a while there. |
Nah -no one picking on you mate-VIPCO WERE very clever (sly) with wording.
They extracted words from TIME OUT for DEATH TRAP,when the Time Out review actually has not a lot of good to say about the film.
They ALWAYS managed to find something from somewhere favourable about their releases (albeit,VIPCO edited
).
What was the bullshit on the front of 'BRAIN FIX'?.......
One of the worst pieces of shit I've ever wasted 80 odd minutes of my life on....
