The BBFC also passed the killing of a lizard in Mountain of the Cannibal god, though that was killed for 'good fortune' according to the plot.

If the animal is gonna be killed anyway, cameras or not, why do the BBFC cut the killing of the bull in bullfight footage.?
Surely thats art. Performance art.?
I think to allow us to see a bull die in a urine soaked slaughter house tied and hung by its feet, and not be allowed to see it die an honourable death is wrong .

The BBFC also allowed the pig killing scene in Ferox to pass with some trimming .
According to Morgan in an interview, it was an extra who killed the pig as he refused to do so and the guy nearly lost his hand doing it, which Morgan seemed quite pleased about, and to think he has always said the people who watch Ferox are sicko's.

The turtle in Holocaust was a swift death as its head was cut of first, yet the BBFC removed that. Strange. Maybe the fact that Holocaust would be viewed by the working-class and not the arthouse crowd affected that decision .
I wonder if Holocaust was available in subtitled form only would the cuts be any less.?

On Necromantic, in the first film there is a pretty nasty suicide, especially if your male, where a man kills himself at the point of climax while 'self pleasing' himself. The sight of blood and 'other' fluids, although fake looking, is unforgettable.
