BBFC Problem Films

[vincenzo]

Yes some fascinating information on that site.

[Angel]

It's about time they updated that section as there haven't been any updates for months. I'm susprised they haven't included Enter the Dragon as yet with its long history of censorship problems here.

[vincenzo]

The Trip, The Killing Of Sister George, The Blackboard Jungle, Kiss Me Deadly and Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer also deserve their own sections.

Anyone know if this one will get through uncut - it was rejected by the BBFC originally

Hmmm.....Know of this film but never seen it. Cut in 1981.

I would say that unless there is something illegal or really strong and exploitative sexual violence this would pass today. The whole Nazi thing means little to the BBFC now.

If it does get passed uncut as a Naziploitation fan I will almost certainly pick it up.

[Angel]

Yes it was passed with 12 minutes of cuts in 1981.

Having seen the uncut version I can't say that surprised me in the least.

Just assuming that it will be submitted to the BBFC, it is very, very unlikely to pass uncut today. As is almost always the case with these type of films it does contain several scenes featuring sexually exploitative violence directed at naked or semi naked women. The scene that will have the most problems is the gun point rape at 36m. Over here the gun is used to penetrate the woman. There is also focus on her nudity as she is being mauled. Sorry but I can't see all this getting through the BBFC. Scene ends with her seemingly responding in a positive way, judging by the way she is touching her breasts. As far as UK censorship is concerned this will only makes matters worse.

Apart from this the film seems almost obsessed with female masturbation as there are numerous scenes throughout the film showing this - unsimulated as well. Might have to be cut. This is after all an exploitation film.

Also the earlier scene showng a woman being sexually abused by a nazi officer using his shoe. Does contain some brief but explicit shots.

One things for sure it's a lot stronger than SS Experiment Camp.

I'm pretty sure Red Nights will have to be cut here albeit much less severely than in 1981.

Perhaps Vince will want to add something. Have you seen the film, Vince?

Nice info Angel!

Hmmmmm.....Sounds screwed then. But also sounds damn good in a nasty way.
May have to hunt it out anyway to join the collection.

*EDIT* Or perhaps not, not at those prices! £19/£20. Yikes.

Sure have. I'm not a fan of the genre in general but this is definitely one of the lesser Naziploitation films.

The cuts would be hugely reduced from 12 mins but I can't see it passing uncut either. As you mentioned above the gun rape is almost certain to be cut, and the 'mother's milk' scene won't be too popular either. Some of the masturbation scenes will also have problems too.

Giorgio Cerioni (Ron Ely's long lost twin) also appeared in SS Experiment Camp amongst others.

By the way I did email the BBFC today to see if Red Nights has been passed by them recently. Will let you know what they say.

Thanks Angel.
