SHAM024 - Beast in Space
 

BEAST IN SPACE (SHAM024)

Here's the first info on the upcoming Shameless edition of Italio-Sci-Fi-Smut 'classic' Beast in Space

Shameless once again bravely strike out into the wild country of exploitation by bringing you a stellar example of 70s Porno Space Opera. Beast in Space is a perfect example of the kind of kinky, psychedelic sexual weirdness that only the 70s could produce.

Shameless received a complete, uncut print of Beast in Space, with the Shameless cut being the strong XXX version with trims to appease the BBFC rather than the standard softcore version. This allows for the strongest British version possible while still maintaining an 18 certificate.

Here, for instance, are two examples of what snuck past the censor:

- A beastly and erect prosthetic penis

- the “Beast / Sirpa Lane rape scene”. which has been edited to give a longer version than existing non-hardcore cuts of the movie.


BBFC Consumer advice: Contains strong sex and one scene of sexual violence*

*Which is pretty much an advert on this website.


So, what we have is a unique Shameless edit of the movie, which is in keeping with the way the films were made. As most people on the site know, films like this were designed to be released in multiple edits depending on the moral outlook of the territory where they were showing. As such there can be no definitive version (in much the same way that Jess Franco's The Bloody Judge was a torture film in Germany, a softcore fleshfest in France and an historical romp in the UK).

Shameless presents the strongest possible version of this classic Sci-Fi Sex epic for your enjoyment!

Still and sleeve images to follow...

Nice to know that Shameless will be releasing the longest 'softcore' version of the movie in existence.Another Shameless exclusive! Well done guys :clap: Can't wait to see the covers for this and the other 2 titles.

Or the shortest XXX version of the movie in existence! :biggrin:

Great news again on this one, and a definite must buy, adding to my ever-growing yellow spined monster. :heh: ;)

:lol: I never thought of it like that. :dance:

Ha, I watched the XXX version of Beast last night. Nothing happens for about an hour (too much talking), but it livens up when they get to the plannet and all the sex stuff starts. The beast looks hilairious with his big hairy legs, hooves and huge penis. Also his guards all look like jimmy Saville.

You say 'Tomato' I say 'Tomato'... ;) :biggrin:

Will there be any extras?

I knew they reminded me of someone when I was watching it... :lol: :lol:

Weren't the XXX scenes inserts in this one?

Yes. They are badly done too; Even though the sex scenes are taking place in the woods, the inserts have clearly been shot in a room.

I've already got both Severin releases of TBIS and i'll wait and see how the Shameless version compares with them before parting with any cash. Hopefully expecting a good release hitting the U.K.:)

Thanks for the info Loops!;)

Excellent news!
I'll look forward to seeing this.
Now,where's that artwork?

I have read that the hardcore bits were inserts, probably shot by someone other than the original director, but does that mean that, badly handled hardcore inserts aside, this will be the full monty?

I believe this edit will show a little more than the regular unrated/non-hardcore edit of the film. :thumb:

Will there be any extras?

Artwork ready yet?

When there are any updates I'm sure they'll be posted on here.

After the superb job on SBD,I'm really looking forward to seeing the artwork for this....:nod:

Here's the pack shot for Beast in Space. (not final version)

It should be the final version.LOVE IT! :D

Sweet, I really like that.

Wouldn't "In Space, no one can hear you come" be a more fitting tagline? Ha.

WOAH!

That is amazing, Sam! It is easily one of my fav Shameless covers - it's just so bold. Outstanding! :thumb:

Love that artwork!

Amazing colours!

Shameless have done it again, releasing a title that I previously hadn't heard of in the most complete version possible. As with the previous 23 releases, the artwork striking, bold and will certainly stand out on the shelves in HMV!

Can't wait to watch it and then add the box to what was so brilliantly called the ever-growing yellow monster!

Splendid artwork. Well done to those concerned. :nod:

Love that art. :cool: Suitably sleazy - just what we expect from Shameless. :nod:

superb:clap::clap:

I'm buying... ;)

It sure is.

Any Idea what Shameless are thinking of changing,if anything Sam?

Fantastic in a sort of 'Escort' '80's style!

Nice.Very nice!:lol::p

I'm more of a 'Razzle' man myself :lol:

Nah,not as good a Readers wives....ahem right yes,goin back to TBIS.
Superb cover!:lol:

Are these three yellow goodies getting the reversible treatment as well?

Another marvellous DVD cover there, folks. Most eye-catching and colourful and nice tagline too. Keep it up!:thumb:

I like that cover a lot

Keep it as it is!!

According to the Melon Farmers site The Beast in Space has been passed uncut so this is good news

It was passed uncut last month by the BBFC.

What's up next for Shameless then?

Also what are the extras for this film if there are any?

Passed uncut or pre-cut then passed?

Regardless I'll be getting it as I've gotta keep these Shameless titles in uniform.
