The Bloody Judge

Just watched the version shown on Talking Pictures on Friday and can report that it was one of the more explicit euro composite cuts.
Previously i owned the original Uk Redemption VHS at one point and when i watched it it seemed very tame and i was underwhelmed, this is the first time watching the longer version.

I looked it up and the VHS i had was 89 minutes long and featured clothed versions of many scenes.
The version shown ran 110 mins including about 3 adverts. So a fair bit longer than the version I originally watched.
This cut has a fair bit of nudity and some bloody torture scenes and features a few moments of foreign language with subs, so is obviously a reconstructed version.

Anyway it was a lot better than I remembered and is pretty impressive for a Franco film, battles scenes and all, Christopher Lee is good as the titular Judge and most of the performances are pretty decent, with Maria Rohm standing out as the main focus of the story.
I enjoyed it. 7/10
