    This is a not-story, isn't it? The two main offenders, Apocalypse Now and Heaven's Gate, were made over thirty years ago.

  • Are nosotros becoming too lax most abuse for the sake of entertainment?

    Since the article you quote only mentions 2 movies that were made since 1990, I personally don't call up so.

  • This is a non-story, isn't it? The two main offenders, Apocalypse Now and Heaven'due south Gate, were made over 30 years ago.

    I read that in Apocalypse At present Coppola used real dead man bodies for scenes which didn't go downwards to well.

  • Information technology's the cow being slaughtered at the end of Apocalypse Now which is so horrible. Coppola claimed information technology was being ceremonially killed so he might equally well picture show it as it was doomed anyway.

  • All animals in movies should be CGI

    And they should all sing.

  • Every which manner but loose

    A teenager karate chops a alive chicken's head off in the French picture Lacombe, Lucien. And they blew chicken'due south heads off with squibs for the opening scene of Pat Garret And Billy The Child, though the Mexican film crew did eat them all afterwards.

    And confronting expectation the cat was live and well subsequently all the rats had licked the beloved of its fur in Men Behind The Sun.

    The same can't be said for the other rats in MBTS though. I'm not sure they survived being set on burn!

  • Not a recent motion-picture show but in Pink Flamingos a craven is crushed to death in a sexual activity scene. Really disturbing to watch.

  • Chickens seem to get information technology bad. I think a chicken being decapitated in Caché, besides. And another chicken got sacrificed in the Mickey Rourke motion picture Angel Heart.

    The worst affair I've seen was a equus caballus having its throat slit in The Fourth dimension of the Wolf (another Michael Haneke film... hmm...).

  • Not a recent film but in Pink Flamingos a craven is crushed to death in a sex scene. Really disturbing to watch.

    But they ate it afterwards, and then...

    (plus it wasn't really crushed to decease but had its head cut off. And it got to exist in a movie then its a star!)

  • A teenager karate chops a live chicken'south head off in the French film Lacombe, Lucien.

    non to mention all of the lapins existence blown away

  • I don't understand why all pic makers can't faux this sort of action like they do everything else. It'south sad that the life of an beast is worthless and expendable to some people.

  • The Disney documentary that started the lemmings committing mass suicide myth is pretty appalling - they were swept over the cliff by an unseen operative with, I think, a broom.

    The Disney documentary that started the lemmings committing mass suicide myth is pretty bloodcurdling - they were swept over the cliff by an unseen operative with, I think, a broom.

    Sadly truthful, although it seems just a small number of animals were harmed in the making of that flick. It wasn't exactly mass "suicide". But unpleasant yet.

  • I've noticed in recent years films and tv take stopped using disclaimners in the end subtitles when animals have featured in the action.

    I don't remember they take. Well-nigh all the films I've seen in the last few years that have featured animals, fifty-fifty when they've only been in a couple of scenes, accept had the American Humane logo and disclaimer on the credits.

  • Mayhap information technology's just me, but it ruins a film for me if there is any doubt whether animals were harmed during the making and when at that place is no disclaimer in credits.

    For example, the horse shooting scene on the embankment in Atonement - no way of knowing whether information technology was real, CGI, or trained animals. There was no disclaimer at the end of the moving-picture show or animal trainer mentioned, only a 'horse provider'

  • Practice you seriously call up they shot a horse for existent to get that scene in Atonement?

  • Mostly its a non story (I knew about Apocolypse At present and Heaven's Gate), I didnt know the makers of The Kings Spoken communication or Snow Buddies got in problem though.
    Who "copyrights" one phrase like the AHA have? Practiced grief.
    The BBFC even so, allow ritual killings of animals to exist shown it seems...

    Don't the BBFC edit animal cruelty out of new films? I am sure some recent Asian film was cut as it featured scenes of equus caballus falls, which were done by tripping the horses over, which can be dangerous for them

  • You're right, they have edited cruel equus caballus falls out of recent Asian films (eg Reddish Cliff) simply I've noticed in others like Mr. Vampire, where chickens were actually killed as part of a ritual, they left that part in.

  • Yahoo feature an article today near beast abuse in the pic industry and the films listed are the tip of the iceberg.

    I've noticed in recent years films and tv have stopped using disclaimners in the end subtitles when animals have featured in the activeness.

    Maybe considering Television channels lop the stop credits off. They all the same have that American Humane Clan logo at the end of films:

  • I don't understand why all film makers can't faux this sort of activeness like they exercise everything else..

    They do now but they couldn't then.
    Since the 70's at that place take been United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland laws regarding sick handling of animals and any footage that did appear or appears fifty-fifty today is automatically cutting even horsefalls in 50 year erstwhile westerns.

    Countries similar Italy where every cannibal movie featured unsimulated fauna torture and killing even changed its laws to cease it.

    If you lot get to come across the notice at the end of US films on mainstream television you lot are lucky as rarely exercise channels testify all the credits except on Sky Movies.

    For a real treat you might want to option up Carnivorous Holocaust.
    Banned uncut in the UK the BBFC have immune its release with just xiv seconds missing and bearing in mind the reasoning they gave for the initial ban , their reasons for passing information technology near uncut today do not stand up.

    If you've never seen it and you really care almost animals and then I can heartily recommend you ninety minutes of serious mitt wringing and wonder how the BBFC tin can justify passing it .

    Personally I don't similar animals being killed for entertainment but I do like my movies uncut as I know that editing them in the Britain won't change things that happened more than 30 years ago.
    Complete Cannibal Holocaust out on Region i although it does take an optional "beast cruelty gratis" edit you can cull to view
