Deep Throat PG Style. I felt that I had to buy this DVD, just to confirm that what the other reviewers were saying was true. Sadly, I should have known better as they are all perfectly correct (as usual).
Deep Throat, a ground breaking film of the seventies, has been nothing less than destroyed, by either cutting out scenes or simply zooming into the 'wrong' areas to prevent you from seeing anything. Unfortunately this makes the film as erotic as about staring at someone else's used condom.
The BBFC has allowed films such as Shortbus, and Nine Songs with hardcore sex scenes to pass with an eighteen certification without any problems. Why they won't allow a seventies masterpiece like Deep Throat to be shown the way the film makers intended is beyond me. (Mind-you the BBFC isn't exactly known for it's consistency.)
Personally I feel that this release of Deep Throat, is just an attempt to milk some money out of fans. Which is a real shame. Wait until 'Deep Throat Uncut' comes out (if ever). Until then avoid this DVD like you would an STD.

Pig in a poke. And you don't even see much of the poke.I bought this DVD before reading the reviews here, more fool me. And there I was wondering why there had been such a hoo-ha about a movie that depicts what peoples' earlobes look like during what one can only assume is supposed to be oral intimacy.Now I've read the reviews here I wouldn't mind seeing the actual film, instead of this bowderlized tosh.

Heavily edited as expected - so why the surprise?!. The UK is one of the worst places in the world for censorship - especially when it comes to "porn". In Britain, you might be able to say f*ck on tv but they won't dare show the actual act (unless it's for the sake of art)! You'd have to be mad to think a hardcore porn classic like Deep Throat was gonna have a retail release in it's original uncut form in the UK! You can see harder stuff on German television in the afternoon so save your money and get a satellite dish instead!

Deep Rip Off .. If you are looking at this film and thinking "hey I remember that from the 70's"...Think again...You will not remember this version...All action removed by zooming in to the areas you would not usually zoom into !! This is not the original screen size...It is the original film...What a let down...Oh Well !!!

Don't buy it unless you're looking for an "all family" DVD. It was a major disappointment. Deep Throat is The Porno Movie of my youth... Maybe this "thing" was made from that movie but it is so zoomed in (to the "wrong" areas) that it became almost a movie decent enough to watch with your entire family.I blame myself for not reading the already existing review for this item because it was all there...
