Title: Re: Banned films in South Africa Post by: Josso on August 25, 2014, 11:18:59 AM Total recall lol, reminds me of when someone on here said it was the most violent film they'd ever seen :bouncegiggle:
Quote A CLOCKWORK ORANGE STANLEY KUBRICK People always say to me this was banned in the UK but I don't think it's quite that simple, Kubrick pulled it himself and as far as I know retail copies were always sold. I heard rumours that A Serbian Film was not allowed to retail here, aka it went to get a certificate and never got one - if it was going to be any film, it should have been this one but it's still a little surprising, our government tends to be subtle with censorship. What confuses me is I've seen "UNRATED" copies of things that were allowed to retail everywhere, so not sure where the internet tends to distribute those from probably streaming services.Title: Re: Banned films in South Africa Post by: lester1/2jr on August 25, 2014, 02:52:41 PM These are like the best movies
Title: Re: Banned films in South Africa Post by: Olivia Bauer on August 26, 2014, 01:12:52 PM I like half the movies on this list.
Geez. Title: Re: Banned films in South Africa Post by: JaseSF on August 26, 2014, 01:25:36 PM A lot of really good movies on that list. Some pretty good B-movies too.
Title: Re: Banned films in South Africa Post by: lester1/2jr on August 26, 2014, 05:32:37 PM Why was the Wicker Man, for example, banned in South Africa
Title: Re: Banned films in South Africa Post by: Trevor on August 27, 2014, 12:41:24 AM Why was the Wicker Man, for example, banned in South Africa No idea at all: the two censor boards we had prior to 1994 never had to give a reason other than "this film is undesirable": bunch of morons. :tongueout: Title: Re: Banned films in South Africa Post by: FatFreddysCat on August 27, 2014, 07:28:08 AM Wow, that's quite a list. I bet that video bootleggers in your country did some brisk business with those titles, though. :D
Title: Re: Banned films in South Africa Post by: Trevor on August 27, 2014, 07:34:52 AM Wow, that's quite a list. I bet that video bootleggers in your country did some brisk business with those titles, though. :D They did but if you were caught with a banned film or publication, here were your choices: 1) A major fine 2) A jail sentence 3) Both. You could also get one or all of the above for importing a film on the list into the country. :buggedout: :buggedout: |
