| sdc Member 236 Posts 4/03 |  Posted - Dec 31 2005 : 6:55AMI watched this one for the first time last night and it didn't quite live up to expectations. It was certainly as depressing as reports have indicated but I also though it was quite primitive; I think this has been cropped from it's original aspect ratio which certainly wouldn't have helped matters. I don't think Mahler was aiming for eroticism on any level because, in addition to the despairing tone of the film as a whole, the sex scenes are littered with the kind of extreme medical close-ups normally associated with inserts. Finally, the current release appears to be cut. During a three-way with Vanessa Del Rio and the publisher/pimp, Samantha Fox takes a break from the action and dons a fearsome looking strap-on . . . cut. According to the IAFD this movie runs 88 minutes but the TVX release runs about 67; TVX, can you tell me exactly what's missing? I wonder if, in addition to the scene I've mentioned, scenes of intravenous drug use might have been eliminated; the end of the movie doesn't flow very well and, when Samantha dreams (?)of Ron Hudd and another woman, I got the impression we were meant to recognise them.

The seedy cinematography only serves to underscore the sordidness and depravity of Samantha's character. Her coffined body seems oddly warmer than her animated one. There might be a point in that.

I've also noticed that the IAFD lists a lesbian scene featuring Barbara Daniels (whoever she might be). I realise this isn't a perfect resource but there was no such scene in the version I saw.

| joplinfantasy Member 92 Posts 11/05 | Posted - Dec 31 2005 : 10:22AM It's too bad that a strap-on scene had to be deleted, as I didn't think it would run into problems. I can see drug use being an issue, but VCA included a strap-on scene complete and uncut in their OPENING OF MISTY BEETHOVEN disc. [Link] |

| joplinfantasy Member 92 Posts 11/05 | Posted - Jan 2 2006 : 12:23PM TVX, what you might consider doing with future discs and scenes that must be edited is to include them as easter eggs like I-Candy did with CANDY STRIPERS (the fisting scenes in that film were hidden on the disc for completists). That way, people won't need to try to find TWO versions of a given film, to have on DVD and to have an uncut version. This way, it sort of delivers both worlds. Now, I have to go on a hunt for an uncut tape of HER NAME WAS LISA to accompany my DVD. [Link] |
