Will this movie ever come out on dvd? I've heard it's a little rough so I don't know how censored it would be. Has anyone seen it and if so what were their impressions of it?

I haven't seen it, but Mitchell Brothers is the distributor for the title and they have only released three films (Resurrection of Eve, Behind the Green Door and Autobiography of a Flea) on DVD and they haven't had a new release in over a year so if it is going to be released it may be a long time before you see it.

I'd say if it ever appears on DVD it will be highly censored.
More likely it will never be released on DVD.

Just a short list of 'highlights' that would probably not make is past any self-censorship:
Ken Turner knocks out Joey Silvera and rapes his girlfriend Abigail Clayton in scene 2.
Ken Turner basically rapes hooker Melba Bruce in scene 5.
Ken Turner beats up and rapes Monique Starr in scene 7 (including inserting a bottle anally).
And in the final scene it's payback time at an S&M party where Ken Turner is bound after which 3 girls pee on him, then Monique Starr shits on him.

Somehow I doubt such mid 70's roughness will be re-released anytime soon

Peter,

What about the rumor that one of the girls providing the golden shower was an uncredited Annette Haven?

It was the SF scene and it was contemporary to her.

Any truth to it?

Problem is my notes aren't clear on that:
thet say that Monique Starr, Justina Lynn and Starr Wood are 3 of the girls, but not who the 4th is.

It's during the final orgy scene, and Annette Haven definately was in that orgy scene.

I would have to dig out my old VHS copy and see if I can figure it out (but it might be some time before I can get to that...)

No way!

As far as I know it's not been available in Europe (I've never seen it here at any rate).

I've got a copy of it from a friend in the US who was a true collector. Started collecting in 1981 (when video was brand new).

Femmes de Sade was released in France but is no longer distributed unless it has been retitled with a new cover which happens a lot here.

Femmes de Sade is available on DVD again at the french studio Blue One, together with Gerard Damiano's Water Power. The DVD is 3 hours long, I don't know if it has been censored or not, I'll find out when I watch it...

Femmes De Sade is available on disc from ABA as well, however it has been reported that it is edited. Let us know because if the Blue One (Alpha France I assume) release is good I'll pick it up.

Actually the hottest scene of all time is Leslie Bovee and 3 guys covered in oil in an engine room of a ship.... way hot Femmes de Sade scene.

I've watched the Blue One (Alpha France) release yesterday. The film is around 1h22, the picture is decent (I am not an expert by the way, some would say it's pretty good since there's no scratches).

I don't know if it has been edited or not since I've never seen the original VHS tape (How long was it?), but some extreme acts are in the Blue One release, so I think it hasn't been censored.

According to this thread the uncut version is 85 or 86 minutes long.

How does WaterPower look? I was really surprised by how accomplished this film is, and would like to see a version that does it justice.

Incidentally, where did you get this from? There's no sign of it at Orgazmik yet.

Thank you for the info on the picture. I'm also curious where to pick it up as I suspect that Orgazmik may not carry it as they are not carrying the ABA version.

The problem occuring with some of Blue One/Alpha France releases is not editing due to censorship but editing due to ...? (lack of space on disc?...what else?)

They released a Damiano set featuring "Satisfiers Of Alpha Blue": the fisting scene was intact, but the movie was cut, I thihnkthe missing scene are on the Arrow dvd.

I liked Water Power too, but the movie is only 67 minutes on the Blue One disc. Is the original tape longer?

Yes, but not much. The ABA version, which has horrific video quality, runs for 1:16. I'm not sure if 9 minutes would be removed from the total run time due to the conversion from NTSC to PAL or if that indicates that some is missing.

I got it from my local store (I live in Europe). Otherwise, it can be found at bestdvdx but it is quite expensive.

Yes, and this is a big problem, sometimes they put 3 films on the same disc, but the movies are only 1 hour each...

Femmes De Sade is slightly shorter than the original release, but the SM orgy seems to be intact (even the dog can be seen ), so I can't figure out which part they cut, since I haven't seen the VHS tape.

I've only had time to spot check this disc, but the picture quality was surprisingly good.

The disc also contained half a dozen trailers, one of which was for The Private Afternoons Of Pamela Mann. It was the Bourbon / Gillis / Rains scene that was cut from the VCA dvd release and the picture quality was very good. Is this film available from Alpha France? I haven't seen it listed anywhere yet.

It's not available at the moment but I'm assuming it will be one of their future releases.

I had a copy of this on VHS many years ago. Reading the list above makes Femmes De Sade sound quite brutal. The reality is, the film is now where near as hardcore as many of todays adult films (which seemed obsessed with anal and how huge a cock can be, and all that).

From what I remember about Femmes De Sade, the film is about a guy who works in a sex shop and has a habit of fanatasizing, which leads leads nicely onto verious scenes.

The whole film is real 70's adult action, where the stars are into their acting as well as their sex. Its entertaining stuff. The oil scene (1 girl and 3 or 4 guys) is really erotic and the party at the end of the film looks like everyone's having a real swinging time. Sure 1 guy gets shit on, but he deserves it, as he guilty of pushing a bottle into a girls butt and knocking out a girls boyfriend and then turning on her.

I finally managed to pick up the Alpha France release, the picture quality is great for both titles and is a vast improvement over the Alpha Blue Archives release. Waterpower is edited, I'm not sure where or how badly yet as I haven't done any more than spot check the disc so far. Femmes de Sade does run longer than the ABA release, I'm not sure what is present in that one for the same reason. If you can play a PAL disc, I'd pick this release up.

That Alpha France disc is amazing quality. Waterpower is missing the golden shower scene but is otherwise untouched I think. Femmes De Sade is completely uncut.
