The longer version (including Kermode) is on the 25th Anniversary VHS edition.

I do remember catching the full version on Channel 4 sometime after it was released and so found it doubly weird that the guy who wrote and presented the documentary didn't even appear in it on the British DVD! He must know how people like Mac McDonald feel when they see the final cut of, in his case, Aliens.

Luckily I still have the VHS, though the first TV showing of the documentary was even longer still (by about 10 mins). This one additionally featured a sadly ailing Mercedes McCambridge and (briefly) James Ferman. Apparently McCambridge's family asked for her footage to be removed for the VHS (ie 74 min) version. No idea where Ferman's footage went though. I guess the distributors cut it. |

Ferman censored himself - he saw his face and realised it wasn't even acceptable in the 18 category.

In any case, I hope that the full version (or at least as full as it could be depending on what they do with Mercedes McCambridge) makes it onto the BD.

Getting back to "Inferno"... Sad as it is that the film is cut, it's still an essential purchase for me. The scene in question is pretty much irrelevant to the plot (though no doubt someone could find a deeper meaning for it) and it's exclusion doesn't 'hurt' the film or it's narrative. I don't think the same could be said of the lizard scene in Deep Red. That scene needs to be kept in, and i'll be disappointed if it gets cut. I didn't realize "Inferno" is getting the Arrow Blu treatment until tonight. I thought it was just DVD. From what i've seen thus far, it looks like an awesome package. Love the chosen cover arts, and even the custom cover by Rick is growing on me. |

I must have misread the article then (note to self: must reread Censored). Anyway, I've also e-mailed the BBFC about that cut and their approach to censoring DVDs and BDs and also mentioned the seemingly ludicrous situation surrounding Beast in Space. I'll let you know what, if anything, comes back.

BBFC case study on The Exorcist here (though missing any mention of Ferman). Personally I don't see anything ludicrous about the 18 rating to Beast In Space. It isn't a sex film and therefore wouldn't qualify for an R18. Where were we? Ah yes. Toweringly Inferno. |
