SHAM1/04 (get it?) Ilsa She Wolf of the SS
 

The BBFC consider this an artfilm,so have passed it uncut! :clap:

"Germany art-house drama. ..... BBFC logo For comparison the UK film censor rated the film 12A uncut with the advice..."

Sorry Reaps... ;)

9 hours 27 minutes late for the April Fool there. For shame Reaps, for shame... :)

:pound: Give the man a break, he's been working all day.

Haha! To be fair, when I first saw the thread title in the forum along with who posted it, I did do a double take!

Midday?Nonsense!

Never too late for an April fools!:)

I'm still holding out for the Shameless Watership Down release from last April Fools Day!

You mean I'm the only one who managed to get a copy of that? :lol:

Killer Bunnies grrrrrr

If Ilsa gets through the BBFC uncut, I'll have a copy for sure!

You might want to read through the whole thread, Vampix.

:pound:

Damn, it was an April fools. :lol:

:lol:

Okay, this is funny :lol: - but, why would Shameless not release Ilsa? Sounds like a perfect match too me! Is Ilsa still really so shocking in this day and age?

Ilsa seems more comedic these days than when it was originally released. i find it comically entertaining...

Just imagine a tin with the trilogy :cool:

Oh yes, very nice.

Doubtfull unfortunately.

With Watership Down a thrown in. :lol:

nasty nazi flicks
 

just watched my copy of "she wolf" before posting, very tame by todays "hostel-saw" days...but doubt if U.K. will ever accept those "nasty Nazi" 70s and 80's as just another exploitation phase, imagine the flack in the right-wing press if any company released any of em, real life psycho nut bags in uniform never a good idea for censorious U.K. tastes.

Would have been kinda cool if it was true xD

Ilsa would still have a hard time getting through the BBFC. I'm not saying it wouldn't get through uncut, but some of the content is quite offensive and politically incorrect and the treatment of women (and men) in the film is appalling, so I'm not sure how the BBFC would handle it. Still, it'd be an interesting experiment if someone did submit it.

I think the only thing which would trouble the BBFC would be the treatment of women as, fortunately, they don't seem to let 'good taste' cloud their judgement – if they did, D.W. Griffith's Birth of a Nation wouldn't have been granted a certificate!

As you said, it would be interesting to see the BBFC's judgement if someone were to submit Ilsa hoping for an uncut 18 certificate.

I bet the Daily Mail readership would be frothing at their mouths if this was available uncut at HMV etc haha!

But as for the BBFC? Who knows. They did pass Island of Death, Cannibal Holocaust, and many other notorious nasties after all.

I never got the hype for Island of death.
Minus the goat ****ing scene it was very much a typical revenge/ slaughter flick.

Aww, I love Island of Death. It's so absurdly over the top it's hilarious

It was enjoyable if nothing else. May still pick up the arrow Video DVD in the future.

It's a great dvd release. The special feature of various bands doing a different covers of the remarkably catchy "Destination Understanding" song is an odd but highly enjoyable extra!

Gah! Caught out by an April fools joke. A two year old one at that :o

I recently picked up the trilogy (have only watch She Wolf so far, though.) and other than the bad taste of the whole thing, I found it pretty tame compared to some more modern movies.

Has anyone tried to pass it through the BBFC recently?

Ilsa probably wouldn't have that many problems with the BBFC today, they are pretty liberal now. They are just there to classify and I can't remember there been any particularly nasty sexual violence in Ilsa.

Easily fooled eh? I've got a London Bridge on eBay...

Hmm...would you be willing to trade it for the Eifel Tower, by chance? :tongue1:

Honestly, I saw the mock up and read the post but for some reason the date it was posted didn't sink in. Wasn't until I continued to read, it dawned on me; it made me feel quite a fool – an April fool, if you will.
