The First Film to Make Me Physically Sick
KharBevNor:
You should watch Guinea Pig 2: Flowers of Flesh and Blood next.
KvP:
Seeing how it's a grindhouse sort of film they probably didn't pay much mind to the whole animal rights deal. But then, the "no animals were harmed during the making of this film" thing only came about as a result of Heaven's Gate, which came out that same year. Horse slaughter was involved in that one, I think.
KharBevNor:
They killed something like twenty horses filming the chariot race in Ben Hur. Then you have the ritual slaughter of the bull at the climax of Apocalypse Now. Cannibal Holocaust only stands out because the budget is so low you absolutely know it can't have been faked. We tend to rationalise over animal cruelty in old films as being effects trickery nowadays, when in fact they were just chucking livestock around like balloons full of viscera.
Surgoshan:
Best I can tell, that sort of act would be illegal now, but it wasn't made illegal in the states until some time in the late 80s.
Cartilage Head:
That sucks. I kind of want to see every movie mentioned in this thread but haven't had a chance to yet. I really want to see the Guinea Pig films!
