    It was on BBC there tonight.
    I forgot just how much I liked this film. George Clooney really does a good job imo.
    Quite a few cool one liners in this film, but I'm sure everybody here nows all this already. Must add it to my dvd collection.

    "What were they?, Like psychos?"
    "No psychos dont explode when sunlight hits them, I dont care how crazy they are"

  • Registered Users Posts: 14,761 ✭✭✭✭Winters


    Yes, great film.

    Its still banned over here its just that t was shown on BBC and through some 'freak accident' we are able to get BBC over here :)

    Typical Robert Rodriguez movie i must say.

    I refused to watch it last night, because you just know that BBC will have cut it to ribbons. Great film and all, but I couldn't watch anything like that if there was anything cut from it. So I watched The Fifth Element instead.

    Was Ulysses not un-banned???


  • Registered Users Posts: 520 ✭✭✭Xcom2


    Um,

    Why is Showgirls banned?

    Are you sure about The Evil Dead? its going for €15 in my local
    Extravision?


  • Posts: 15,814 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Ment to take The Evil Dead out. Its available now but heavily cut.


  • Registered Users Posts: 520 ✭✭✭Xcom2


    It is the Anchor Bay UK version with no cut's.

    Just a head's up for anyone that want's it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,982 ✭✭✭ObeyGiant


    Isn't Driller Killer available in some oddly-cut form? Like they cut 50 seconds, but added another 4 minutes (most likely a gross exaggeration) elsewhere? Did I dream this?

    Darko u sure that list is accurate? I mean what criteria did they use for banning those films? Eeny Meeny? Rock-Paper-Scissors?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 933 ✭✭✭mooman_00


    from dusk till dawn isnt banned afaik ive rented it from local small time video store b4 cant remember if it is cut or not. Evil dead(uncut) version is availible to rent somewhere too, cant remember where, dont know about the rest, ive seen doberman while i was in frace when it came out, no english subtitles so all i could do is watch, it was still highly entertaining....


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,894 ✭✭✭Mr. Fancypants


    Didnt think Perdita Duranga was banned here...

    To add to the list...

    Natural Born Killers
    The Idiots


    Seamus Smith lifted bans when he got into office on...

    Clockwork Orange
    Ulysess
    Life Of Brian (!)


  • Posts: 15,814 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    To add to the list...Natural Born Killers

    Natural Born Killers is now legal in Ireland. But there has been talk of re-banning it. Good film saw it years ago on Bravo.

    Looking at Darkos list I was thinking did the church or church goers have any thing to do with the banning any of them, The Life Of Brian being banned in the past makes it look like I could have being right, which is sad really.

    Do the Irish Censers Office have to give a reason for banning a film?


  • Posts: 15,814 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Does anyone know if Last House On The Left is legal in Ireland. I know its being released uncut in England this year.

    I dont think they cut it at all. Unless when Channel 4 show it they cut it too, because there were no differences.

    Afaik the irish censors board comprised mainly or a priest, or bishop or something. I think the church still has a big part in the irish censory board but up until a few years ago thats all they were, a board run by a backward uptight repressed member of the clergy, no wonder everything was banned in this country with cuunts like that in power.....

    >>>Does anyone know if Last House On The Left is legal in Ireland. I know its being released uncut in England this year.<<<

    Its not uncut.

    From the BBFC website.

    To obtain this category cuts of 0m 31s were required. The cuts were Compulsory.
    Cuts required to humiliation of woman forced to urinate, violent stabbing assault on woman and removal of her entrails, and woman's chest carved with a knife. Cuts required under the Video Recordings Act 1984 and BBFC Classification Guidelines

    Despite the cut's I'll still get it as there are some great extra features on it.

    What about From Dusk till dawn 3, "the hangmans Daughter"? is that banned here as well? I've seen it a few times and its probable (IMOHO) the best of the dusk till daw films.

    Dear god people behave yourselves.

    They films got worse as they went along really. The first was great. Second was... well... awful. Except for that Bruce Campbell cameo! :)
    Third was dire. Really didn't like that at all. Despite having mr Jango Fett in it.
