[Long Cut]

I fully agree; there is never an excuse for wanton cruelty. In the films, those effects could easily have been faked.

I did not mean to give the impression that I support such brutal acts; I was only reporting the events as I understood them.

Ruggero Deodato will have much to answer for in the next life, of that I am certain. I observe these things only out of a keen interest in film history, and this is a part...a sad, vicious one, but still a part.

The 70s explotation films have been made and they will continue to circulate whether a small video company licenses them or they are bootlegged on tape or the internet. What is shocking is how widely available they are at major chains.

Emanuelle In America has its own snuff film subplot as well as footage of a woman actually masturbating a horse. This film can be found commonly at Borders Books.

Best Buy and Fry's also stock some surprizing titles (genuine X).
