Saw III - Soon to be withdrawn or censored?

[Vincent]

Is it gorier than the first 2 then?  Or are these people just utter wimps :-P

I can't see it getting recut now - it's been legally classified by the BBFC and that's it.  If it were to be pulled then it's up to the distributor themselves (as happened with Clockwork Orange through the insistence of Kubrick and Natural Born Killers).

The BBFC and amybody else can't have a say at all in the matter now.

And with marketing like this you know they're just gonna keep showing it :-D

Makes you think of all the 40s and 50s films with the naff advertising stuff - "We'll pay you $1,000 if you suffer from shock while watching this feature" :lol:

--edit--
Gory/horror/sick films mean nowt to me but Care Bears the Movie would be enough to give me nightmares :-D

Got I and II on dvd, hopefully seeing III on Weds night :-D

Meh.

I was slightly disappointed.  Everything was a bit convenient - especially the interrupted talking.  (trying not to give anything away).

The flashbacks were good, one in particular but I think you'll know which one.

I can't understand how people fainted or walked out of this, there wasn't anything in this film that made me or Siouxsie squeamish.  Maybe we're hardened after years of watching horrors though.

It's no worse than Event Horizon, Saw I and II or even Hellraiser.

Saying that, a couple walked out about 10 mins after the chains guy (they walked during the story part in a bedroom).  Another woman walked out a while later (possibly after the first person that was involved after the guy got out of the crate - jeezuz, trying not to give anything away is difficult!).

I would actually say that Saw II was better than III.

@Karlos, you'd be a bit of a plonker if you watched Saw III first.  You'd be better to see them from the start.

:-(

Time to trawl the net to find out what I've missed then...

I just hope I can find out without getting hit by too many B&Q and Homebase sites for 20" hacksaws ;-)

No mate, I was joking. You are probably just strong-stomached, or we made unrealistic expectations with all the talk beforehand.

I know - I'm not that gullible :-P

And besides, I keep a very close eye on censorship these days (well, every day for the past few years actually).  One of my first visits every day is to here: WARNING - has a link to short descriptions about 4 scenes in Saw III - do not click "Publicists Saw Us Coming" if you want to see the film!!.  And I get RSS feeds regularly about BBFC certificates.  I hope that warning did the trick :-D

One of my pet peeves.  If something's cut and I like it, I'll go out of my way to get an uncut version from abroad instead of buying a sanitised version.
