Why the butchery?
I have a guestion that's been bugging me for a while. In this age of unrated director cut's and deleted scenes restored, why would a video company take a perfectly good example of R-rated Italian gangster splat like The Valachi Papers, cut it up and reissue it as a PG-rated movie?:eek: Restoring lost footage is laudable but intentionally losing it defies rational thought. Why the butchery? Any ideas?

Sometimes it's cut for content. Pretty Baby is a heavily edited DVD, because it's borderline kiddy porn. Sometimes there's no demand. El Topo just made it to the market a few years ago. I hadn't heard a word about Jodorowski in a long time till that happened. A lot of variables come into play. The way the DVD market is determined really sucks. One reason that VHS really had an edge was variety and availability. Now, you take what you can get.
