'm suprised, Maniac, The New York Ripper and Pieces weren't on that list.

"Maniac" was released but only in a butchered version, so escaped.
"Pieces" was also cut, but not that much. It seems to have slipped under the radar.
And "New York Ripper" was refused a release full stop.
Don't forget also that the actual 'Nasties' ended after 1984 as all videos after that had to have BBFc certificates.
So after 1984 films were either cut or refused a release. So there were no more new potential 'Nasties' available.
"TCM", despite what many people think was never on the 'Nasties' list and did infact have an uncut 'X' cinema certificate for showing in London (when the 'Greater London Council' still existed and could approve it's own certificates).
"Suspiria" was never on the list...but was briefly released uncut. But as the fuss started up 'Thorn EMI' withdrew them and replaced the print with the censored 'X' cert cinema print.
