Yes it's hard to believe the furore over so called 'Video Nasties' ever happened now. I bet all the MPs who voted to bring in tougher measures, don't realise most of the films that were problematic, have come out again uncut or in longer versions. The original TOOLBOX MURDERS precert video I owned from Hokushin was cut to ribbons & is now fully uncut here !

. FAR stronger stuff can be viewed on TV these days including the likes of BANSHEE & GAME OF THRONES. My annoyance remains with distributors who release films uncut in the UK on 4K Ultra HD only, like THE EQUALIZER movies & JOHN WICK 2, or not at all like THE IMMORTALS & HERCULES. Luckily as mentioned we can import, but why should We be practically the only ones Worldwide denied the full versions ?.
